#doesoft: buffy summers.

plotted starter with @doesoft. / buffy summers & elena gilbert.

[  ....  ]             the  world  was  different  now.  it  used  to  all  fall  on  buffy's  shoulders;  innocent  lives,  the  fate  of  the  world,  the  burden  of  having  to  endure  violence  every  night.  but,  now,  things  were  ...  different.  better.  she  wasn't  the  only  one  anymore  and  she  had  a  chance  to  mentor  other  girls,  women,  that  now  have  the  same  destiny  she  had  been  carrying  alone  for  so  long.  she  could  guide  them  down  a  path  where  they  could  experience  their  newfound  strength  and  endurance  whilst  having  the  longest  living  slayer  right  by  their  side.  surely  things  will  be  easier  for  them  than  it  was  for  her  ...  right?  that  was  the  only  thing  she  could  truly  hope  for  and  strive  for.  these  girls  meant  everything  to  buffy  summers  and  now  elena  gilbert  was  one  of  them.

after  sunnydale  had  been  blown  up  and  the  first  was  vanquished  (  as  far  as  she  knew  ),  she  had  been  informed  by  giles  that  he  had  caught  word  of  another  potential  in  virginia;  mystic  falls,  to  be  exact.  so,  another  adventure  was  underway  for  buffy.  she  had  packed  her  bags  and  said  her  goodbyes  to  dawn  before  leaving  home  alongside  giles.  they  traveled  together  to  mystic  falls  to  find  elena  gilbert.  it  was  so  much  different  here  than  california.  the  forestry,  the  humidity,  the  rain  ...  all  things  buffy  wasn't  exactly  used  to.  but  one  thing  did  remind  her  of  sunnydale  and  that  was  the  small  town  energy  this  town  had  carried  and  that  brought  buffy  some  comfort.

her  and  her  watcher  had  done  a  scope  around  town  to  gather  more  information.  this  town  definitely  had  vampires  from  the  numerous  reports  of  so-called  'animal  attacks';  not  as  comforting  as  the  quaint  small  town  vibe.  buffy  wondered  if  elena  knew  about  the  vampires  already  or  if  she  was  still  naive  to  what  lurked  in  the  shadows.  they  would  make  a  plan  the  next  day  but,  tonight,  buffy  needed  to  get  to  know  this  town  the  only  way  she  knew  how;  patrolling.

she  strutted  through  the  cemetery  of  mystic  falls,  stake  in  hand  and  senses  on  alert.  it's  nice  to  get  back  to  basics,  buffy  thought  to  herself.  it  wasn't  until  buffy  heard  a  rustling  followed  by  a  scream  not  too  far  ahead  from  her.  she  bolted  in  the  direction  and  flew  over  a  tombstone  to  tackle  down  the  enemy  who  was  attacking  a  girl.  she  straddled  the  vampire  and  jabbed  him  across  the  jaw  on  his  right  then  his  left.  the  vampire  grabs  the  slayer  by  her  shirt  and  throws  her  off  of  him  but  it  didn't  cause  buffy  to  miss  a  beat  in  her  combat.  the  vampire  hovers  over  her  to  grab  once  again  but  buffy  was  quicker,  extending  her  leg  out  and  knocking  him  in  the  teeth  with  her  heel,  causing  the  culprit  to  stumble  back  and  knock  into  a  tree.  she  hops  back  on  her  feet  and  lunges  her  stake  into  his  chest,  directly  in  the  heart,  before  he  could  attack  again  ...  but  he  doesn't  turn  into  dust?  instead,  he  desiccates  right  before  her  eyes;  his  now  grey  body  shriveling  up  and  thumping  onto  the  ground.  a  wave  of  confusion  washes  over  buffy  for  a  moment  but  then  remembers  the  girl  she  just  saved.  she  spins  and  faces   —   elena!!  buffy  clears  her  throat,  ❝  are  you  okay  ?  are  you  hurt  ?  ❞  she  asks  first,  dusting  the  dirt  off  her  clothes.

[  ....  ]                       buffy  remembered  the  first  time  she  had  been  approached  about  her  newfound  destiny,  all  the  emotions  that  swirled  inside  her  like  a  sudden  storm.  confusion,  disbelief,  fear,  denial  ...  all  things  she  would  be  expecting  to  come  from  @doesoft.  but,  from  what  she  had  spoken  so  far,  it  seemed  she  had  already  been  made  well-aware  of  the  dangers  that  surrounded  her.  that  was  difference  between  her  first  experience  and  now  elena's;  buffy  had  no  idea  of  vampires  and  elena  had.  would  this  make  this  whole  situation  and  journey  easier  or  will  it  make  it  more  difficult?  buffy  didn't  know  but  she  would  do  whatever  it  takes  to  protect  her  and  teach  her  everything  she  needed  to  know  about  being  a  vampire  slayer.  buffy  was  quick  to  help  elena  up  on  her  feet  when  she  begins  to  get  up,  taking  gentle  hold  of  her  arm  and  then  letting  go,  backing  away  a  couple  steps  to  give  her  the  space  she  probably  will  need  upon  hearing  this  new  revelation.

❝  not  something  a  girl  likes  to  hear  ❞  she  chuckled  a  bit.  buffy  tucks  away  her  wooden  weapon  in  her  back  pocket  and  then  pushes  her  hair  back,  taking  in  a  breath.  ❝  yes,  don't  worry,  i'm  not  going  to  hurt  you.  i'm  buffy  ❞  she  introduces  herself,  hoping  her  friendly  smile  was  enough  to  make  the  other  girl  feel  a  bit  more  at  ease.  usually  upon  meeting  the  new  slayers  there  would  be  a  conversation  of  some  sort  before  they  got  thrusted  into  a  fight  among  the  undead.  this  was  not  the  case  but  buffy  was  well-versed  with  adapting  to  the  unexpected.  a  single  eyebrow  arched  in  confusion  but  mixed  with  amusement  at  elena's  next  words,  ❝  vampires  killing  other  vampires  ?  that's  something  you  don't  hear  every  day  ❞  she  replied  in  disbelief.  that  was  something  she  was  going  to  have  to  figure  out  herself  because  ...  why  would  that  ever  be  a  thing  unless  you're  spike  or  angel.

❝  this  is  going  to  sound  crazy  but  probably  less  crazy  for  you  since  it  looks  like  you  already  know  about  the  vamps  around  here.  usually  people  that  do  know  don't  live  to  tell  the  tale  ❞  buffy  begins  to  explain,  wondering  why  and  how  elena  knew  whilst  surviving  but  it  wasn't  elena's  turn  to  explain  anything.  she  had  to  hold  those  questions  for  another  day.  ❝  i  know  about  them  because  i'm  a  slayer,  a  vampire  slayer.  and  i  know  about  you  because  ...  well,  elena,  you're  one  too.  those  weird  dreams  you've  been  having,  the  senses  you've  been  feeling  ---  there's  a  reason  for  that  and  i'm  here  to  help  you.  you  can  trust  me.  ❞  buffy  wasn't  used  to  being  the  one  to  find  the  new  slayers,  it  was  usually  giles's  job  to  do  so  because  he  was  much  better  at  explaining  this  sort  of  thing.  she  hoped  she  wasn't  scaring  her  off  too  much;  she  knew  how  overwhelming  this  could  all  be.  ❝  it's  a  lot  to  take  in,  i  know.  ❞

it's been such a long day , but it was normal. she needed normal , monotony. monotony meant there were no surprises , nobody got hurt. it hasn't been normal for a while now , not since meeting stefan. her stefan. she doesn't blame him though , all the weird things that happen to her are always outside of either of their control. he just opened her eyes to a whole new world that she never even thought possible. vampires , witches , werewolves ? she always thought those were formulated in stories to scare children into behaving. but the acknowledgment of the reality of their existence has brought everything out of the woodwork it seems.

but not today , today everything was normal. her new normal - but still normal. she went to school , held a genuine smile on her face , went to her friend's house where they ate popcorn and watched a cute little chick flick - ending the evening with a new spell she'd learned. she felt like she could breathe easy , leaving bonnie's house and making her way to the graveyard. it'd been a while since she got to spend time visiting her parents. flowers nestled within her palm as she gently laid them down over each headstone, roses for her mother and lilies for her father. getting comfortable against the cool grass as she boasted on conversation about life , sharing journal entries , catching up. maybe it was strange , talking to her loved ones who have past. maybe she didn't care , it brought her solace. she misses them so much , and she knows theyre listening. they always did while they were alive.

the crack of a branch interrupts her thoughts , brows caving in as she peaked up from the grave , looking throughout her surroundings. nothing. probably just an animal. she looks back down at the graves , peaking over to her phone. 1 a.m. on the dot. maybe it was time to hike home , it was getting later and she should be in bed right about now. as she gather's her things there's another crack but this time it was her elbow smashing against one of the gravestones , a blood curdling scream erupts past her lips , curling her arms over her head , just catching a slight glimse of putrid veins and bloodshot eyes. a vampire - but this one she didn't recognize. she thought she was a goner , her strength had no comparison to a vampire.

but she wasn't gone ? in fact there was nothing there. the weight no longer lingers over her lithe form , slowly she pulls her arms from her eyes , a women with a stake - daggered the now desiccated vampire. distracted does slip over to the women , blinking in a short succession as she tried to regain herself. cradling her elbow her her chest as she honed in on the other's voice. " i think so , my elbow might be pretty bruised by morning - how did you do that ? i've never .. thank you. " if it wasn't for this woman she probably wouldn't be alive. " i - i'm okay , are you .. human ? " she whispered it like it was some sort of secret , slowly slipping on her feet as she peaked down at the dead vampire. " i've really only seen vampires kill other vampires. "
