For hours I read about Spike the notorious vampire who was out to get Buffy. I read about his girlfriend Drusilla, and I read about Angelus.

"Wait so Spike is just trying to make Drusilla stronger, well that's kind of romantic isn't it." I asked as I walked over to my dad who was sitting at the table looking at a stack of books. They were all about some group called the Order of Taraka.

"Well if you mean slaughtering a bunch of humans in order to cure her, romantic, I guess. But don't forget they are vampires." He sighed.

"I know." I said as I grabbed one of the books in the stack and started reading it.

Suddenly I watched as my dad's head snapped up as he looked out the window.

"Dad?" I asked as he stood up and left. "Dad!" I called as I ran to the window. I could see him talking to some women. She was pretty and I could tell he liked her. She however, looked very upset at my father. She quickly walked away and I could see how upset my dad was. I ran back to the table looking at the books.

"Did you find anything." My dad said as he walked into the room wiping his glasses.

"Who was that," I asked.

"No one," he said but I could tell he was lying.

"Dad..." I started when suddenly a gun shot went off.

I quickly ran out into the hall, I could see all of these kids running towards the exit. I pushed past them running into the lobby. Buffy was fighting some cop who had her gun pointed at her. I quickly went in and helped Buffy fight.

The cop turned to me swinging a punch. I went to go dodge it but I was too slow and it hit me in the back. Angry I turned to her and round house kicked her in the face. She still had the gun in her hand and I could see that a red, or was it brown, headed boy standing next to Willow had been hit in the shoulder. I knew I had to get that gun away from her.

I let Buffy keep fighting as I quickly lunged at her and grabbed the gun. However, she didn't let go. Instead she turned to me trying to turn the barrel of the gun towards me.

The gun fired luckily only grazing my shoulder.

"Katherine!" I heard my dad scream.

Buffy quickly kicked the lady backwards and she went running off. I slowly turned to my dad who looked at me horrified.

He quickly rushed Buffy and I back into the library just as Principle Snyder was running towards the scene.

"What the hell was that!"

"It's the order of..." my dad started as he went into his office and came out with bandages.

"Dad I don't need that it will heal in a second." I sighed but he still proceeded to bandage it.

"Ok so I know Willow is with Oz so she's safe..." Buffy started.

"Where is Xander and Cordelia?" Dad asked.

"I sent them to go check on my house, because I knew Snyder would jump on me if I left. They should have been back by now."

Just as she said that a very disheveled Xander and Cordelia walked in.

"What happened to you two?" Buffy asked.

"There was this guy at your house, he said he was selling make up and while I usually don't buy makeup from door to door salesmen, but I had to be at Buffy's house anyway, but then he turned into bugs." Cordelia whined.

"But it's ok, because I took care of him." Xander smiled as he walked over to me. I could see that he had Cordelia's lipstick on his lips.

"Xander!" Cordelia snapped.

"Ok, so now everyone is accounted for." Dad sighed as he finished bandaging me up.

"Well no, I still haven't heard or seen Angel." Buffy said.

"Who is Angel?" I asked trying to recall the people who I had met earlier that day. I quickly remembered reading about Angelus and how he had been cursed and was now going by Angel. "Wait, you mean Angelus, why do we care what happens to him?" I asked and everyone went quiet.

"Katherine," my dad said as he shook his head.

"He is Buffy's boyfriend." Xander spat.

"What," I snapped as I turned to look at Buffy. "You're dating a vampire." I laughed angrily "And not just any vampire one of the most insane vampires out there."

"He's not like that anymore. He's..." Buffy started.

"He's changed." I mocked. "Vampires don't change. They will always thirst for the kill and Angelus just kills for fun." I snapped getting face to face with her.

"Giles!" She snapped turning towards my dad.

"Dad!" I snapped as I did the same.

"Katherine, while I didn't approve of the relationship at first, but Angel has saved all of our lives on multiple occasions, and with Spike causing havoc it's nice to have a vampire on..." Suddenly my dad froze. "Wait," He then rushed over to grab some books off the table.

I glared at Buffy when suddenly Xander came up and wrapped his arm around my waist and Buffy's.

"Now girls, let's not fight." He smiled and both Buffy and I gave him an angry look.

"I know where Angel is." Dad said. "Spike has them. He's going to complete a ritual. He's going to take all of Angel's energy and transfer it into Drusilla

"That can't happen." I said. "Drusilla can't get any more powerful. She's deadly now the way she has Spike wrapped around her little finger. If she's at full strength who knows what she will do."

"So we have to rescue Angel." Buffy smiled.

"Or we could just kill them all." I smiled back.

"Katherine," My dad snapped.

"Fine, we will save him." I sighed. "Now where exactly is this ritual supposed to take place."

"A church," My dad said.

"Well that narrows it down." Buffy sighed.

"Willow, Xander, Cordelia, will you look for churches that are closed or abandoned." My dad asked.

"Yeah how many are there?" Xander asked.

"43," Willow responded.

"Well that seems a bit excessive." My dad responded.

"It's the extra evil vibe from the hell mouth. Makes people pray harder." Willow laughed .

I smiled at Willows comment.

"Now you two," My dad said turning to Buffy and I. "We need to train."

Buffy smiled as she turned to me. "Oh I would be happy to train with her."

I glared at her.

"Katherine, will you please go grab a stake from my office." My dad asked.

I walked into his office. It was small but there was a kettle with some bags of tea and a hot plate next to it. I smiled slightly seeing this. I looked around his desk finding no stakes. However, when I opened one of his drawers I found a stake. I froze however when I saw what was underneath it. Underneath the stake was a photo of me and my father when I born. He was sitting in a rocking chair holding me in his lap.

I was a daddy's girl from the moment I was born. Everything I remember from when I was young was being with my dad. I remember him reading me stories about the slayer fighting the vampires when I was younger. I wanted to grow up and be just like him. However, I also remembered how much he and my mom fought. I loved my mom, but I was never as close with her. My mom just didn't understand my obsession with demons and vampires. After my dad left I became very distant from everyone, I even turned to drinking. I just didn't know what to do. My mom never talked about demons and vampires, and it seemed as though the truth about what the world was really like was going away. I couldn't stand it, she wouldn't let me talk about anything, she wanted to be oblivious but I couldn't and it was killing me. That and she told me that my dad loved his job more than me and I was crushed. The thought that my own father didn't want me ate me up inside.

I quickly picked the picture out of the drawer and set it up on his desk. Then I walked back out to train.
