Chapter 1-Buffy

Summers girls aren't normal, never have been never will be. It was that fact that troubled me the most as I stared into the murky dishwater from the sink. I knew this more than anything else. Being one of the original slayers came with some serious baggage, mainly the fact that normal was another universe away from what I was used to. When most kids had been counting down the days till prom I was fighting back an apocalypse and dating a reformed vampire. Looking back on college my main memories situated around the initiative and Adam. A laugh escaped from my lips as I reminisced with the soggy spud peel and greasy chip pans. Everything about my life had been crazy and even running away hadn't set me free. Just one look at windowsill reminded me that my life was miles away from normal.

When I realised I was pregnant and had nowhere to go I left. Ran away to the safest place possible...England! Well to be honest it was the first and cheapest flight I could get last minute. I had considered abortion since this wasn't the only time I'd been in this situation before but this time things had changed. I knew who the father was, this baby was special and I wasn't giving it up for the world so off I went. Once I arrived, after weeks in a sleazy hotel I got a flat, a job and a life. Of course there was demons, vampires and strange scaly people that no one understood...but there was also friends. I soon became friends with a woman called Jasmine (although she was known as Jazz) who used to hunt demons. Now seventeen years later we are close friends and along with Lilly ,my eldest daughter, I now have a twelve year old daughter called Rosie to handle. It was at that point that I was snapped into reality by a yelp. 'Muuuuum!' shouted Lilly from the living room. With a sigh I skidded into the other room to see my eldest daughter pinned up against the wall with two knitting needles and my youngest sitting on the sofa sucking on her finger. 'What is going on here?' I shouted as I surveyed the disaster area,'She tried to stake me' complained Lilly. 'What the hell!?'

'She was looking at my neck!' argued Rosie

'No I wasn't'

'You so were'

'Morbid freak!'

'Go find yourself a cosy crypt'

'Just because you get a paper cut-'

'Makes you want to get your fangs out'

'That's not fair!'

'It is fair when I have to live under the same roof as a VAMPIRE!' Rosie shouted as she stormed out the room.

Ah yes I thought even my children aren't natural. Rosie had always been different and ever since she was little she was able to sense and talk to ghosts although recently she had been getting stronger. She was now able to sense other demons and see vampires from miles away. Lilly though, she had taken after me by becoming a slayer but now things had changed... Lilly had gone from being the hunter to the hunted in a matter of days. No one understood how it had happened but a few days before her sixteenth birthday she had been feeling headaches and sickness until on her birthday she had died in her sleep for several hours and when she woke up she was, well different. No not different, a vampire but the problem was she'd never been bitten, it was in the blood. I sighed, poor Lilly, it had been a few months now but still understandably it was hard and Rosie hadn't adjusted at all due to the clashes with powers,the girl who could sense the dead was living with one, and the fact that both girls had been patrolling and killing the things that go bump in the night since they were five. Of course Jazz and Gwen (Jazz's twelve year old daughter and Rosie's best friend) had been very supportive and Rosie had been hanging out with Gwen a lot more. Things were going wrong and once again and I was reminded once again that the life of a slayer was never normal.
