Summary: What happens when Spikes ex-girlfriend shows up ready to kill him?!
Red indictates a memory.
Year: 1898
"Where is that bloody girl!" Spike said worridley and frustrated. Angelus let out a cocky laugh.
"Spike, my right hand, give it up let her go. She's gone. I know your heart is broken but..." Angelus couldn't finish. He busted out laughing. Spike was now flooding with anger. He looked at Angelus who almost fell down, he was laughing soo hard. Spike felt like ripping Angelus' throat out. But he didn't. Spike paced back and forth frantically. Angelus stopped laughing all of a sudden picked himself up and fixed his hair and clothes. He had a solemn face then roared with laughter once more. Spike didn't understand why Angelus found this situation soo funny. Angelus rolled on the floor laughing. He then looked at a crack in the wall and noticed the evening had finally come. He got up quickly and now had a serious expression.
"Welp, Spike, my boy, as much as I'd love to stay here an comfort your broken heart I just can't. Got to go." Angelus said.
"Where are you going Angelus?" Spike asked with curiousity.
"Torchering a girl named Drusilla. A little catholic girl." Angelus said with a smirk.
Spike even smirked. Maybe I should fine someone to torcher tonight. Help get things off my mind. ......Nah.
By the time Spike looked up Angelus was gone.
Present Year
"Giles, I'm nervous.....Remember the last time we had a foreign exchange student come??" Buffy reminded him. "And to think this one HAPPENS to be from Egypt!" Buffy exclaimed.
Giles thought it over. "Buffy no need to worry. We always prevail. Besides we know what to look for. If anything is suspicious then you'll do what you have got to do." Giles said unworringly.
Buffy was dissatisfied. She left the library.
~~~
It was 7:38 p.m. Where is this exchange student? Buffy thought. "Maybe her plane was late." Buffy's mom said. Buffy crossed her arms. "Maybe she won't show. In fact she probably changed her mind about coming. Let's go home now." Buffy said. Buffy's mom grabbed her arm. "Buffy, No." She simply said.
"Buffy Summers." a voice said. Buffy turned around to see a tall slender figure about 5'11, with light coffee-colored skin tone, gray eyes, and long black hair. She was in shape too. She looked like she worked out a little maybe. "How'd you know?" Buffy asked. "I guessed." She said with a monotone voice.
"Are you the exchange student?" Buffy's mom asked. The girl looked at Buffy's mom then at Buffy.
"Yes." She said.
"What's your name?" Buffy asked.
She looked at Buffy with a straight face.
"Pharaoh. Pharaoh Tutakhamon" She said.
"Tutakhamon? Isn't that King Tut?" Buffy asked remembering a bit of what she learned in World History class.
Pharaoh didn't seem impressed nor bothered by the question. "I'm glad you know the history." She said.
Buffy was getting annoyed with the way Pharaoh answered questions.
"Well that's your last name?" Buffy asked suspiciously.
Pharaoh still didn't seem bothered.
"That's what I said. Do you have a problem with my family name?" Pharaoh asked.
Buffy now realized how she sounded.
"Sorry, I just never heard of someone having a last name of a king." Buffy said.
"William." Pharaoh said.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"William. Prince soon to be King William. William is a popular last name." Pharaoh said.
There was a long pause.
"Well we better go." Buffy said
"Is that the only bag you have Pharaoh?" Buffy's mom asked.
"Yes." She said and they left.
~~
Pharaoh said nothing on the drive to the house. Buffy was getting very suspicious now.
Pharaoh watched her out of the corner of her eye. They finally got to Buffy's house.
"Well, we're going to sharing rooms. We both have twin beds. That is your bed right there." Buffy said
Sharing rooms? Damn! Pharaoh thought to herself. She looked around at Buffy's room. She saw all the posters and jewelry and makeup. Alot of stuffed animals. And also alot of clothes.
"Well, I guess your tired. So I'll let you get some rest. I'm going downstairs." Buffy said and then left. Pharaoh was glad to be alone. She didn't feel like unpacking so she took out her discman and put on her earphones.
Have you eve loved somebody soo much it makes you cry
have you ever needed someone soo bad you can sleep at night
have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right?
Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever found the one you dreamed of all your life
do just about anything
to look into there eyes
Have you ever found the one you've given your heart to
only to find that one won't give their heart to you?
Pharaoh hated this song. It reminded her of her loss. Especially the last line.
Have you even found the one you've given your heart to only to find that one won't give their heart to you? The line almost made her tremble. She took off her headphones. She laid on her side and shut her eyes tightly trying to think of anything but her past. Her head began to pound
Everything is blurry. I can't see. Someone is speaking to me. "Pharaoh? Pharaoh?" I heard the voice call. I look around frantically trying to see something but I couldn't. I feel like screaming, but, I can't. Suddenly, I hear someone laughing. The laugh is fimiliar and frightens me. I try to run and hide but I can't. Someone help me! Mother!! "MOTHER!!" I yell aloud. I then hear a person roar with laughter. I still can't see. I feel a warmth, possibly a light. I follow it. It seems like I've been following it for hours but it has only been a few moments. The light is guiding me to something awful, I know, but I can't seem to stop following it. I am in my mothers house. It is soo quiet, too quiet. The light leads me up the stairs. Soo many stairs. My legs begin to feel like lead. I then see what it is leading me too. I am horified. No, NO!! I scream soo loudly hoping it will make it all go away but It won't. I scream some more. Please stop! Someone help me! Someone is laughing. I am still screaming
"Pharaoh!!" Buffy shakes Pharaoh awakes. She sits up immediately. She looks a little stunned and confused.
"Are you alright?" Buffy asks.
"Yeah I'm fine." Pharaoh says and gets up. She looks at the clock. It's 10 am.
"It's Saturday. So if you want I'll show you around Sunnydale." Buffy said.
Pharaoh was quiet. She looked a little embarrassed to have been caught in a night mare.
"Buffy, I'm sorry I seemed rude when we first met. I get like that when i'm nervous." Pharaoh said.
Buffy smiled at her.
"It's ok. Sorry I was rude too. You wouldn't even believe what happened last time we had a foreign exchange student stay with us." Buffy said with a smile.
Pharaoh smiled at her. Buffy looked at her things.
"Wow! You brought alot of CD's.!" She said and went to look at them. "You mine if I look?" She asked Pharaoh. Pharaoh shook her head.
Buffy looked at them. "Brandy, Monica, 54 Soundtrk., City Of Angels soundtrk., Madonna, Janet Jackson, Aaliyah." She looked at some more. "You have a wide variety." She said looking at Pharaoh.
"I love music." Pharaoh said. Buffy shook her head in agreement.
"What is one of your favorite songs." Buffy asked.
"Iris by Goo Goo Dolls." Pharaoh said. "I can relate to that song."
And I don't want the world to see me.
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"That song is awesome. But I'm digging the song Alanis Morrisette did for the City Of Angels soundtrack." Buffy said.
"That one is cool too although her voice can get on my nerves." Pharaoh says with a laugh. "So are you going to show me around Sunnydale or no?" Pharaoh asked with a smile. Buffy smiled back.
"Sure why not?" She said. Pharaoh got dressed and they went off.
~~
They stopped by a movie theatre.
"Let's go see a movie" Buffy suggested.
Pharaoh looked around at the movie posters. Something about Mary, Armageddon, 54, Blade.....Blade. Pharaoh had gone to see that back in Egypt a few months ago. The movies come out earlier in Egypt. It was awesome! Hilarious to. Buffy noticed her staring at the Blade movie poster.
"Do you want to see that?" Buffy asked. Pharaoh looked around
"No, I've seen it already. It was really good. Umm.....Lets go see
Armageddon. I can never get enough of that movie. Especially Ben Affleck!" She said with a mischevious smile.
Buffy agreed. "You think he is cute? No offense but I thought people in Egypt didn't date outside their race?" Buffy asked innocently.
"Yeah, well I'm the outcast of the Egyptian race." Pharaoh said.
"I know how that feels being an outcast." Buffy said putting her head down.
~~
Year 1908
I am observing her now. She keeps walking around. Drusilla. Angelus
dissapeared almost a decade ago. The night he dissapeared was the night I met her. We've been together ever since. It was hard the first few years. I couldn't get "her" out of my mind. She dissapeared not long before Angelus and I can't help to think that maybe he stole "her" from me. He did after all have an obsession with her. She didn't return the feeling and it made him angry. He even tried to torcher her but it didn't work. She was to powerful for him. Though in my heart I know she would have never gone with Angelus I'd rather know she was with Angelus then not know where she is at all. Drusilla tried to comfort my pain though she didn't know about it at all. I became soo lonely that I can't be away from Dru long. In a way she is the substitute to my torn heart. I'm starting to forget about "her", but, I'll never love anyone the way I loved "her". It's getting a little easier as long as Dru is around. I remember the night I met her.
"I'm hungry so I'm going on a hunt." I say to Angelus. He doesn't seem to care. I leave out the door. The sky is practically pitch black with no moon as far as I can see. There is no one on the streets tonight. No food in sight. Maybe these simple people finally came to their senses and realized it wasn't safe at night. Damn! There goes my food! That's when I see her. A young beautiful woman. Maybe around 19 years old. Probably married I think. But I see her and she doesn't seem the type to be married. She is beautiful. This day in age when women get married they usually lose their true beauty and feminity. She is walking at a steady pace. Her hair is pulled back into a braided bun with diamonds in it. She wears a beautiful silk black dress which definately shows off a gorgeous figure. I think to myself, No way is she married! And Why in bloody hell is she walking the streets at night by herself. I walk beind her. "Excuse me but I can't help to notice you walking these dangerous streets all by yourself." I say to her. She doesn't turn around.
"Thank you for taking the time to care. But I can take care of myself." She says. Even her voice makes me weak. I won't kill this one. I'll turn her into a vampire and make her mine I think to myself. I walk faster and finally catch up to her.
"If you don't mind me saying, but, you look beautiful." I say and slap myself mentally. What a stupid thing to say. She gives a I'm-not-impressed smile. She stops and looks me over.
"If you don't mind me saying, You look handsome yourself." She says with a sophisticated smile.
I'm not going to waste my time. I want her to be mine forever. I will turn her into a vampire. I quickly put on my game face and go in for the bite. Then I feel her grab my neck before I even get near hers. I feel her nails digging in. She pulls out a stake. She presses it to my chest where my heart is.
"You know I should stake you right now. Not only because you just tried to bite my neck but also because you probably said I was beautiful to make me fall for you so you can bite my neck!" She says almost with a teasing tone. She put more pressure on my chest with the stake.
"Your a slayer!" I say shocked.
~~
"I have seen that movie 5 times and I still cry everytime!" Pharaoh says to Buffy about the movie Armageddon. They both laugh. "Oooohh! I hate Liv Tyler. She gets to kiss my man!!" Pharaoh says and pretends like she is ready to kill. She busts out laughing. So does Buffy.
"I agree with you. Did you see I know what you did last summer? Ryan
Phillippe is sooo fine!" Buffy says.
Pharaoh's face cringes.
"Oohh I hate blondes!" Pharaoh exclaims.
~~
It's 7 pm. Pharaoh and Buffy are getting ready to go to the Bronze.
"Bye Mom!" Buffy yells and they leave.
"I hate the night" Pharaoh says.
Buffy nods her head in agreement. Buffy looks around.
"Umm....Pharaoh lets cut through this way. I hate going through or near the cemetary." Buffy says.
"AWWWWW Why? Trying to avoid me??"
Buffy turns to see Angel.
"Angel?" Buffy says. Angel has his game face on.
Pharaoh turns around to see him. As soon as Angel sees Pharaoh he loses his game face.
"You!?!?" He says pointing at Pharaoh. He backs up a little. Pharaoh looks another way so she can avoid him seeing her face again. Angel starts backing up more until he finally turns around to run. Buffy looks at Pharaoh. She is still looking another way.
"Do you know him?" Buffy asked. Pharaoh was quiet.
"No. I don't but he scared me." She said.
"Pharaoh, he is dangerous! Never go near him!" Buffy said. Pharaoh gave her a face as is to say, DUH!! After the face he showed tonight you really think I'd go near him!?!?
"Ok." Pharaoh says simply.
She still seems shaken up. They hurry to the Bronze.
~~
"Willow, Xander, and Cordelia. This is Pharaoh." Buffy says. Willow walks up to her immediately.
"I heard you were from Egypt. Could you tell me about it sometime??" Willow asks anxiously.
Pharaoh smiles. "Sure." Willow gives a big smile.
The music is blasting through the Bronze. They play Davina's "So Good."
Baby you're such a midnight tease
It's gonna take everything
to keep yah from me
And the joy that your loving brings
Could seperate the mountains from the sea
I don't wanna be wrong but it feels right
If loving you is soo wrong I don't want to go on
I don't want to be wrong but it feels right
It feels good, so good, so good , so good
This song is phat! Pharaoh thinks to herself as she orders a Pepsi. She looks over to see Willow chatting with a handsom boy. Possibly her boyfriend. Then she sees Xander and Cordelia smoking it up on the dance floor. Buffy is dancing with a guy too.
~~
Spike wakes up. He just had a dream about "her." He has been having alot of dreams lately about "her." He didn't know why. Dru was getting on his nerves. Spike had no feeling for her and hopes she'd leave. But she didn't get the hint. It's like when Angelus and I fought over her she loved Angelus. Now that I don't want her she wants me more than ever. She makes me sick. Everytime I look at her I cringe.
"Slayer?!?!?!?! You think I'm a slayer??" She yells. She lets go of me. My neck hurts like hell.
"I had good reason to think it. You did have a stake to my chest you know and you have an incredibly strong grip.....So are you a slayer?" I ask her.
"No, I am not a slayer." She says. "I'm sorry, you were just hungry and I practically crushed your neck." She says with a smile.
This girl has a little attitude
"You were about to crush nothing. I was just amusing you by letting you THINK you were winning." I say as macho as I can.
She laughs aloud. "Right." She says.
After that night we hung out alot. I knew she wasn't human, but, was she a vampire? She couldn't be I think.
I snap out of my memory flashbacks. Dru is REALLY getting on my nerves. She keeps talking about Miss Edith. Miss Edith this Miss Edith that. I get up. I'm going to the Bronze. Maybe I'll find someone good to eat. I get there and they are playing some song by that blond chick who wears those cone-shaped bras. What's her name? I think to myself. Monica, Milla, MADONNA!!! That's it Madonna. I cringe when I see the slayer. Great she's here. Just ruin my night why don't you.......I'm not going to let you. I'll just not let you see me here so I can enjoy my night in peace.
~~
"Hi, I saw you from over there and wondered if you'd like to dance?" Pharaoh turned around to see a good looking black guy asking her to dance. She grabs his hand and they go to the dance floor. They dance to about three songs. Then she sees someone familiar. Ohmigod there he is!! Doesn't look any different since the last time I saw him. He doesn't even see me. And if he did would he recognize me? I wonder. I'm not taking a chance. I have to follow him tonight. Then I have to kill him.
~~
Buffy looked all over the Bronze and couldn't find Pharaoh. She was worried. She hoped Angel hadn't come after her. She ran to her house to see if she went there. Nope. Where is she?! Buffy went back to the bronze and looked for her. She asked everyone. She found Angel and beat him up asking if he seen her. Not even he saw her.
Great! I'm in so much trouble. She ran back home and went upstairs she entered the room quietly and saw Pharaoh there taking some things out of her bag. A stake, Holy water, and a Cross. Pharaoh pulled her hair back into a ponytail.
Buffy went up to her and grabbed her quickly. "Ok, Pharaoh. You better tell me who you are and what you are doing with all this stuff. Now." Buffy said. Pharaoh pushed her off.
"This has nothing to do with you." Pharaoh said angrily. "Stay out of my way." She then went out of the house and dissappeared.
~~
1897
"William, what are you doing?" She asked with a smile. Spike pulled out a box.
"Why do you insist on calling me William?" He asks. She smiled at him.
"Because that's your name." She said. Spike smiled at her. He touches her face softly.
"Your the most beautiful thing ever, Pharaoh." He says. She blushes.
"See now that's why I call you William. Because you are sooo sweet and you almost act human." She said putting her arm around him. Spike kisses her. The kiss lasts several minutes. They keep kissing leading to alot more.
Spike woke up the next evening to find her gone.
"Pharaoh? Pharaoh?" He looks around the house. She is not there. He goes out looking for her.
Where is she?
Suddenly, he is hit on the head by someone.
~~
I wake up hearing laughter. Angelus is looking right at me. He is laughing. "Spike my boy!! You are finally awake. Just in time for the show!!" He says. My head is pounding.
"What are you talking about?" I ask. He points to an altar. Pharaoh is there tied up. Crying. Scared. I rush to get up but realize I am tied to. This makes Angel laugh even more. He walks up to where Pharaoh is. He outlines her face with his finger. Then I see him take out some Holy Water. "See Spike my boy. Holy water only works on vampires right?" He says. He poors some on her bare stomach. Nothing. "But look at this." He says. He then takes out a knife which makes Pharaoh shift and try to get away but can't. He then makes a small cut in her stomach. The blood starts flowing. He takes the holy water and pours it on her cut. It burns her. She screams in agony. Angel is amused by this. He then gives a suprised look. "Ohmigosh!! Spike my boy! Did you see that. I thought Holy Water only worked on Vampires!!" He says. He comes right to my face. "Why did it do that?" He askes. I shrug. He laughs. "You should really read up on your girlfriends Spike. Look at her!! Come on!! You knew she was different! You knew she wasn't exactly human." He says loudly. I am getting angry. "Spike ever heard of that outcast Vampire, Lestat?" He askes. I nod my head yes. "Well let me tell you a story. Almost 300 years ago. A woman by the name of Marianne was 9 months pregnant when she was attacked by a vampire. Well, the Vampire named Renile turned her into a vampire right when she went into labor. She was able to have the baby. She abandoned it. It was Lestat. It was part human and part vampire. Well, years and years later it fell in love with a woman named Raven. Being he was half human he could make children. And well they had little Pharaoh here. See Spike. She is part vampire. She will live forever. She has the best of both worlds. Don't you realize that her kind is the most strongest type of vampire around?" He laughs. He was soo busy explaining the story he didn't realize that I untied myself. I got up and hit him in the face. He was so shocked. I didn't let him recooperate. I hit him again and again. Until he just lay there moaning. I ran to Pharaoh and untied her. She was weak. So I picked her up and ran out of the building.
~~
"Is it true?" I ask her. She is laying on the bed resting. She looks at me. Then she looks ashamed.
"Yes. I wanted to tell you but you don't know how many people want me dead." She said. I touch her forehead then kiss her lightly.
"I love you." I say to her. She smiles at me. I love her smile.
"I love you, too."
~~
The Vampire Lestat. Anne Rice thinks she knows everything about Vampires. Writing all those lies about Lestat. Spike laughs to himself as he stares at a copy of the book The Vampire Lestat. by Anne Rice. She is soo bloody annoying that Anne Rice Woman. I think if I ever meet her I'll turn her into a vampire so she can know what it REALLY feels like to be a vampire. "William." I hear a familiar voice call my name. No, it couldn't be!! I turn around to see nothing. I look around frantically. "I'm hearing things." I say aloud. I decide not to worry about it. As soon as I turn around someone hits me hard. I fall to the ground. It's blurry when I open my eyes. And I see a figure standing above me.
I am confused, "Pharaoh?" I say. She smiles and then whips out a stake.
~~
Who the hell is she?! Wait a second. Kendra died. Does that mean they would send another slayer? I knew we shouldn't of signed up for that foreign exchange student program. Where did she go? There's Angel! I ran up behind him and hit him over the head with a piece of wood. He falls groaning. "Get up!" I say. He doesn't move
"Buffy." He says. I lift him up.
"You're gonna tell me what I need to know." I say. He looks like he'll cooperate.
"Who is she? Why is she here? Is she a slayer?" I almost yell.
"She used to be a slayer. A long time ago. Like 100+ years ago." He says.
I feel he is lying. "How is that possible?" I say grabbing his shirt in a threatening way.
"You don't understand Buffy. She is half Vampire. Ever read the book by Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat?" He says. He is regaining a bit of strength but I am not worried. He'll tell me what I need to know. I nod my head to say yes.
"Well Lestat is a real vampire. But he is only half. The story she wrote about him is untrue. She thinks she knows everything. Anyway, Lestat's mom was made a vampire while she was pregnant. She still had the baby and he was only half. He fell in love and had Pharaoh. Being that Pharaoh was part Vampire but mostly human, like she doesn't have to feed on human, But she'll live forever. And since the body of a human is fully grown by the age of 21, that's what she is going to look like forever even though she is over 200. Anyway, they asked her to be the Slayer because she had incredible strength and she'd never die. So they thought they had it made. She was cool with it. Until they wanted her to kill her father. She hadn't seen him since she was a baby. When she faced him she knew who he was. She couldn't kill him. It wasn't til after that that everytime she killed a vampire she felt soo bad. She had to get out of it. So she drowned herself. Her human life stopped but she was still alive. They thought she was dead and called another Slayer. a few years later. She met Spike and you wouldn't believe it but they fell in love. I was in love with her too. But she didn't want me. I hated Spike for having her. So I killed her family with railroad spikes so it would look like Spike had killed them. That is exactly what she thought and her being in love with Spike she wasn't able to kill him right away. So she dissappeared getting mentally able to kill him, letting her loss and sorrow grow to anger. I guess she is ready now to kill him. That is probably why she is here." Angel said. He rubbed his head and gave an God-that-hurt expression. I almost couldn't bellieve what he told me.
To Be Continued
