AN: Hi, I'm not so good at English gram. and my spellingscontrole doesn't really work, my beta doesn't return my stories, or she takes 4 weeks to return it. So I'll already post this chapter and I'm looking for a beta right now. So please excuse me for the faults in this chapter. I'll get to it, but I just really wanted to post the beginning of this story.
Big Kisses,

~ Chapter 1: Buffy Summers
A small girl was sitting on a couch in a big mansion, that was build in a cemetery. The girl was always alone, nobody talks to this girl... her name is Buffy Summers.
When Buffy Anne Summers was 11-years-old, her mother died because of brain tumour little Buffy didn’t only lose her mother, but also her best friend. Joyce Summers and her daughter were inseperable. Little Buffy with her blond hair and big green eyes cried for months over the loss of her mother. Because of the sudden death of her mother little Buffy Summers had to live with her father, Hank Summers. But Buffy didn’t want to live with him, and he didn’t want her.. so her father pulled some strings and made sure she didn’t have to live with him. Her father paid her a lot of money to stay away from him each month, so it wasn’t hard to get by... money wise.
Because the house of her and her mother had to be sold, Buffy’s next mission was to found a place to stay in. And she soon found it... a big empty mansion. It was Buffy’s luck that the mansion did have electricity. So Buffy found a new home.
She didn’t have to worry about Social Services, because they were to afraid to come to the ‘haunted’ mansion. Nobody worried about Buffy Summers, the little girl without any parents, they had their own lives to worry about. There was only one man that cared about the little girl... that man was Rupert Giles, Buffy’s old teacher.
Her father did give Buffy a lot of money, but not enough to go to school, so Mr. Giles helped her by coming by every schoolday homeschool her. Mr. Giles stayed for dinner almost every night, he didn’t have anyone to go home to. He liked to stay at Buffy’s... she decorated the mansion really nice, it almost looked like a real house. She even had a guestroom for him, where he could spend the night, which he sometimes did. He didn’t only teach her about science and stuff, but also about cooking and cleaning. Rupert Giles was like a father to Buffy. Buffy always talked to him about her mother and her past... that she didn’t like to tell anyone. Mr. Giles suggested to sing about her feelings, because he heard from a friend that, that could help to face your fears. So Buffy sang about her feelings and to Giles’ amasement she could sing like an angel.
Mr. Giles didn’t tell anyone about helping Buffy, but there were rumours tough, about a wild woman living at the mansion in the cemetery. Nobody actually went to look because everyone believed the mansion was haunted. They didn’t know how the ‘wild woman’ looked like, because Buffy never left the cemetery. She went to see her mother every Friday night, but that was as far as she went. Giles often told her that she should go out more, but Buffy was just to afraid to face the real world. Giles was the only man she trusted, but even if he went with her she wouldn’t step a foot outside the cemetery.
She knew that people might find it strange, but the cemetery became her home in the last 6 years.
Buffy used to have friends, before her mother died. They tried to help her through the pain she was feeling, but they just couldn’t. After a while they just gave up and never spoke to Buffy again. After that they couldn’t even talk to her anymore, they didn’t know where she was... they didn’t know that she lived at the mansion.
“Buffy? Buffy, are you there?” she heard someone call her name. She left her bedroom and walked through the hall into the living room. She smiled when she saw Giles standing there with his arms full with books and on top of that a bag of groceries with he always bought for her.
Because Buffy didn’t like to go out, she gave Giles money and a list to buy her groceries. He also bought her furniture and things like a washing machine and a fridge, but he always made sure the delivery boys didn’t tell anyone about the stuff they delivered in the mansion, but that wasn’t a problem, because Giles had friends in ‘high’ places.
“Hi Giles.” she gave him a kiss on the cheek and helped him put the groceries in the fridge. Buffy was wearing a white skirt and a pink shirt. Buffy also did some of her own shopping, she bought clothes from the internet. Her clothes were delivered at Giles’ and he brought them with him when he came.
“How are you?” Giles asked while he put the books on the coffee table.
“I’m fine, I’ve finished my song yesterday. The one you asked me to make, about my dad?” she asked, looking at him with her green eyes.
“Uhm, yes. Yes, I remember. We’ll talk about that later. I brought a couple of books with me.” He said, pointing at the big pile of books. “I want you to read them, they’re not for ‘school’, but they ARE homework.” He said with a strict look. Buffy was just like any other girl at her 17-year-old age, she HATED homework.
“Okay, what are they about?”
“Problems, mostly. Problems that kids of your age have. From a fight with their parents to pregnancy. Talking about pregnancy, I brought you something.” he walked over to his briefcase and grabbed a small box. He handed it to her.
“Condoms?” Buffy said with a smile. “Giles, you’re the (only) person I have contact with, I don’t need condoms.” She said with a smile, not feeling uncomfortable at all. They had the sex-talk years ago, when she asked him about it. Giles wasn’t that comfortable with the subject, but he explained her all about the birds and the bees.
“I know, it’s just... you never know what happens in the future and I want you to be prepared.” He explained, blushing a little, still not comfortable about the subject of sex.
Buffy’s smile faded. “I appreciate this Giles, but even if I went outside, nobody would want a ‘wild woman’.” She said with a sarcastic voice. She knew about the rumours, Giles told her a while ago. She didn’t understand what their deal was, she was just like any other teenager without any parents, she just didn’t live in a foster home or on the streets. Just because she didn’t come out didn’t mean she was a wild woman. There was nothing wild about her actually, even Giles said she was a quiet person.
“You never know...” was all Giles said. “Well... I suppose we should eat... I brought Chinese.” Knowing that was her favourite food, after McDonalds of course.
“Okay, thanks.” She said with a smile. They used to continue with her schooling, but this Friday it was different, not because it was a special day or what not, they both just didn’t feel like doing anything school related.
They both ate in silence, when they were finished eating and had done the dishes they sat on the couch just talking. Giles asked Buffy about the song she made and she made a promise to sing it for him next time, she didn’t feel like singing tonight.
“Buffy. I wanted to talk to you about next Monday. I.. uhm... can’t come then. I’m expecting company,” Giles explained.
Buffy looked sad. “From who?” she asked, Giles never got company.
“My nephew is moving in with me, my sister can’t handle him. So she sent him to move here. She only asked me yesterday.” He explained with a hopeful look that she wouldn’t be all to sad. He never missed a day, so he didn’t know how she would react.
“Okay. I hope he likes it here. But I’m sure he will... with you being there and all.” She said with a smile. She was sad for a little while, but she knew that having family over was a big thing for Giles so it was a big thing for her.
“Thanks Buffy. I just hope he will adjust.”
“What’s his name?” she asked, making conversation.
“Uhm... William. But he likes to be called... uhm... spoke? No, that isn’t it. Oh, right... Spike. Don’t ask me were he got that name from. He’s a...” He said while looking at Buffy’s confused face.
“A bit of a rebel?” she asked with an amused look. “A bit like you in your Ripper-phase?” she asked him. She knew all about his Ripper days, when he was against everything good in the world. She laughed.
“Well, I just hope he’s not as bad as I was.” He said.
