For the most part, I hadn't really been doing much of anything lately. Basically, I didn't feel like doing anything but lay around the house and go to school. Not that school did much for me anymore anyway. At least being at the house wasn't such a pain as it used to be. I could actually come out of my room and not have to avoid everyone I ran

I didn't really know what I was doing. Molly was out for the day and I really didn't feel like sitting in my dorm room by myself. Instead I decided to take a walk along the beach. It would help me clear my head and I needed some quiet. I almost got my wish too. The ocean was quiet today, more still than it usually was and I guess that should have been a warning. I used to live in Michigan, I knew what snow looked like but I had never expected to see any in California

I heard them enter the house and smiled. It was strange to see snow in Los Angeles, but I'd lived long enough to expect the unexpected. I was wearing one of Lexi's old sweaters, old to her, but still new enough that it had probably been worn once before she bought a new one.

I didn't immediately reveal my presence. Instead, I stayed upstairs and listened as they talked. I could hear their hearts beating and smell their scents. Mmm home delivery dinner.

Then I realized who the girl was. Oh this was intriguing. Of course I couldn't hurt Tyler. The girl? Well, she could be some fun.

I moved silently down the hall, edging closer to where they were at. Of course they were fascinated by the snow. I was much more fascinated by them.

The way it was coming down made it clear none of us would be going anywhere any time soon. Heh. It was like a family reunion of sorts. For now I'd keep quiet and observe until it was time to make my presence known.

Staring out the window, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This was insane. Snow in the middle of Los Angeles? Well. Insane was kind of relative these days wasn't it? This was just bizarre

Something definitely wasn't right here. And I mean beyond the fact that there was a blizzard in the middle of Los Angeles. "You're definitely not the only one." I muttered to Tyler when he asked. It was weird for sure but something else was weird and the constant buzz of it in my ear was starting to freak me out. I glanced back at Tyler for a minute as he walked to the phone

"Oh, I don't know, pretty princess, it seems very lucky on my end," I said, as I started down the stairs and smiled at both of them. What could I say? Lurking in the shadows must have skipped my generation. I didn't have the patience for it.

"Freak snow storm, and look what comes dragging itself in to our humble home. I do wish you'd called first, Tyler. Lexi will be very disappointed to have missed you."

Oh he was not going to be happy to see who he was stuck with. Maybe this would do him some good. I was tempted to turn him of course. Have him be a present for his sister, but she'd be so angry. If she couldn't turn him she probably didn't want me to do it either.

"It's been a bit since we last saw each other. How have you been?" I purred to Lucy as I stopped on the last step. "The fireplace works, but you'll have to forgive us for not keeping a supply of wood. Blankets are upstairs. And well food..." I paused and smirked at Lucy.

"I guess so," I said about the house being stocked. I hadn't stepped foot in the place in probably a couple months. I started to walk back into the kitchen when I heard a voice call out from the stairs. My whole world froze when I saw the bitch who stole my sister away from me standing there. She was smiling, smirking even, down at the both of us.

I don't know why, but I stepped in front of Lucy to shield her from Sophia. The bitch might want to play with me in some sort of way, but I think I knew she wouldn't really hurt me. Lexi was saving that for herself right? Yeah, whatever.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I spat angrily at her. I hated her. Hated her so damn much that I almost felt like I was going to start shaking with the anger and rage that started to bottle up inside as I watched her descend the stairs and stand in front of us.

"Where's my sister?"

[darkersideofyou]

It was like every single inch of me was frozen in place when she approached. She, she wasn't real. She was the thing nightmares were made of. Every slayer had their one, right? She was mine. Swallowing hard I tried to shake off the same suffocating feeling that had fallen over me, hanging on me like a wet warm blanket the last time I saw her

[iwasfading]

"This is our home, Tyler. Your sisters and mine. She has so many happy memories here. Pity you don't feel the same." I couldn't physically destroy him, but I'd spank him if he got in my way. The girl? Now she could be fun. I did like pretty brunettes after all

[not_a_prophecy]

"Yeah, it's a real fucking pity," I said so hatefully to her. A huge pity that I didn't cherish all those memories that I had a hard enough time getting rid of. Of Sophia hunting down my sister and killing her before turning her into a monster. I hated her so fucking much

[darkersideofyou]

I didn't understand why Tyler kept stepping in front of me. I was the Slayer but I wasn't going to argue with him. And as much as I hated her I wasn't going to get any closer than I absolutely needed to. Taking a step to the side only for a moment I glanced out at the blizzard just beyond the window. We could probably make a run for it, might even make it to the next house. It was a chance to take but still better than being locked up with the crazy vampire

[iwasfading]

So much anger and hatred rolling off the boy in waves. Of course he was still grieving. I'd taken his sister away. His best friend in the world. I would feel sorry for him if it wasn't for the fact of, oh you know, I didn't care. Lexi was mine and she would always be mine. The only reason I spared him was out of my devotion to her and James

[not_a_prophecy]

I was getting angrier and angrier by the second and I didn't know it was possible. I'd felt grief before this. I'd even been mad with rage that night in my room. But.. I'd never felt so much hate in my entire short life. So much hate for one person. I hated Wolfram and Hart, but that was different. I could feel the hate and rage eating away at me so much the longer I looked at her.

"I told you," I said and stepped closer to her. "Leave Lucy alone." The idea of going for the next house over was out of the question. This was my house. Mine and my sisters no matter what had happened and no matter if I didn't want to live here anymore. Dad had bought us this house so we could be together and because we had wanted out of the hotel. It sickened me to have Sophia living here

[darkersideofyou]

"I'll pass." I said bluntly to her half-assed offer to turn me. I had nothing but hatred for vampires. She was the reason I ended up in jail in Colorado and the only thing I wanted her to do was be dust in the wind. She was powerful though, really powerful and I could be over my head by trying to take her on. It dawned on me then though. Why she was so much stronger than other vampires I had fought. I'd killed all of her groupies but she'd escaped.

Because she was just like me.

Well, not just like me. She had the vampire parts too and I was positive I had dreamed of her when I really thought about it. It was the darkest dreams she showed up in, not the nightmares after our tangle a year or so ago. A vampire waking up as a slayer. It wasn't right. Someone probably needed to put her out of her own misery
