"They could also join the undead. They could use a new perspective."

"Now there's an idea," I said with an evil grin. "Of course, our werewolf could bite 'em."

"But their already animals," I pointed out. "They don't need an excuse during the full moon."

"Good point," I conceded. "So, when's the kid getting in?"

(((It might be something to do with the fact you all are posting at 1 in the morning!)))
"Hey guys, sorry, I was having a coffee. You all ready?" I asked brightly. They all seemed much older. Oh well.

((I hope its ok for me to join so late... i have to admit i forgot about this until Jess reminded me... ill delete it if anyone has a problem with it!!))
"Maya... can you even hear me?" I could hear him, but somehow it didnt register that i was meant to answer. I just stared at the blank hospital wall, my insides feeling completely empty. "Mai... please, speak to me!" "It's no good, please sir, you'll have to let us take care of h..." "They killed them." I said suddenly in barely more than a whisper, as a tear trickled down my cheek. I turned to Ben, "They killed them." I repeated with a significant look. He frowned, as did the police woman on the other side, "Who, Maya?" She asked, "Do you know something about the people who did this?" "They killed them." I gasped again. She shook her head, "Who? Please, this is important... Ben, do you know what she means?" "No... I... no idea..." He stuttered. "This is very important..." she shot an irritated look at the door as sounds of an arguement reached them. "You must understand, Maya, we cant help you unless you tell us..." More shouting, "Sir you cant..." "We can and we are, stand aside!" The door burst open, and even in my dazed state my eyes snapped to see who entered, my heart racing- had they come for me? But several men in suits stood in the doorway. "Get him out of here. You," The leader said in a strong british accent. He pointed at the policewoman, "Leave. You're off this case." "What? Who the hell are you?" "None of your bussiness." A man walked forwards and took her arm, almost dragging her from the room. Another grabbed Ben, "Come on kid." He said. "No way, im not leaving her!" I gaped at him, and grabbed at his hand, "No, Ben..." But they were dragging him out. "Ben!" "Maya! Get off me! MAYA!" But they were too strong- they wouldnt let go. They closed the door. My entire body was shaking with fear. I had to protect myself. I had to stop them... I began murmuring "Proteja-me. Fogo do goddess...." But the leader smiled, "Now we'll have none of that." He said, throwing a handful of powder over me. I kept murmuring but nothing happened. He smiled, "Powerful... but not too powerful. Be quiet. We aren't here to harm you." "Who are you?" I demanded, my fear turning rapidly to fury. "We are watchers." "Sounds pervy. Leave me alone." I stood, emotional barriers slamming down around me, but the men stood infront of the door. "You're not leaving, Maya. We are from the watchers council, and you are not only a potentially powerfull witch but a potential slayer aswell. You will come with us." "Doubtful. Move." "You have no choice in the matter girl, your powers have been disabled temporarily..." "What the hell do you want from me?" "You have been through a great trauma of late... we have special councillors, consultants, and then we will train you..." "I dont want your help. Leave. Me. Alone!" He smiled wryly, as if seeing something i didn't. "You perhaps want more freedom... you want to go straight back into the field? You are... independant. Willfull." He said it with distain. "I want to be away from here." I snapped. "That can be arranged." He said. "How's California?" "California?" I had to admit that i was tempted... but i knew there would be a catch. "There is a situation we need neutralised... it would allow you a great deal of freedom to use your powers, take out some of this rage of yours, and... well, after that we could see how you've done, and work from there." "I dont want to work for you. I said that... I..." "You have two options!" He snapped. "You come with us, to our head quarters in England, and go through our councilling and training, or, you go to california and help our team out there." he was right... i had no other choice- i couldnt fight these guys alone, not without my powers... and i knew one thing- i did not want to go back to england... so i nodded slowly, "California." I replied. he smiled, "Excellent. My men will take you to the airport. You will meet the team at the other end. Time is of the essence." "Now?" I exclaimed. "Yes, now." "But i cant... my brother... I have to find him, theres still a chance..." "Your brother is dead." The man said stonily. I gaped at him. "What... how do you...?" I gasped despairingly. "You dont want to know, my dear. Now go." I was grabbed roughly, one guy at each arm, and taken from the hospital.
*third person* The leader and one other watcher remained in the room. "She's unstable Travers." "As she would be no matter what we told her or how ever many physchiatrists she saw." "She hasn't the training to take on this task." "She is stronger than you give her credit for... and if not... well, another over-willfull slayer is the last thing we want." He walked out, leaving the more junior watcher stunned. He couldnt believe what he'd just heard... but who was he to argue?
*Mayas POV* I couldn't believe this was happening. I was on a plane with nothing but the clothes i was wearing. My entire family had been murdered, only hours ago, and Ben had been dragged away from me. The watchers council, whatever the hell that was, was sending me to do... i didnt even know what. How was i meant to find this team? How was i meant to do what they wanted when i didnt even know what it was? I rested my head back and cried silently, thinking, why me? But by the end of the journey my resolve was firm- screw them, i'd get off the plane and make a break for it- start afresh. And I would never let anyone hurt me again.
((Whoa, Josh style mega post. Hope thats ok!))

"So, um, I'm Jessy. I'm thirteen in two months and I can do something really cool. I love coffee, sugar, coke. I realise I'm slightly hyper and do they have a school where we're going cos I don't want to miss any important school work. Who are you guys?" I said, smiling and tying back my hair in a ponytail. Not a side ponytail though. Those were for the popular kids. As a preteen I had to know my place. I was a proud boff.

((Question! How long ago is this? Like in years, cause I have no idea how old I am otherwise and I don't know whether it's four, five or six.))

I got off the plane, mental barriers clamped shut. I showed my passport, the only other thing i had with me, and walked out into the main airport...

((Five years... Woah, get ready for young Nicki. Jess, I think you might be younger than 12/13 but it's only a quick note.))
I smiled at the new girl, she was sweet. The council all sucked, but she was still sweet and I felt my attitude soften a little.
"I'm sure there's a school in Sunnydale, but we hopefully won't have to stick around long enough to do any school work. I'm Nicki, by the way, and I'm..." I paused and wondered if I should lie about my age. Sometimes people assumed I was older and I had nothing against them thinking that but eventually I guessed I should be honest if they actually expected us to work in a team. "I'm fifteen years old."

As i walked i kept my eyes open for toffy looking men in suits. Every time i heard a yell, some part of me started, crying RUN! But i held my steady pace- running would only attract attention... and something else was creeping into my senses... i could feel... something... people... not normal people... i could feel great power, very close... but somehow it didnt feel quite like the evil i had felt in Demons... it still scared the shit out of me though...

"I see we have a new arrival," said one of the watchers. "Obviously a last minute change."
I watched as he exchanged a glance with one of his companions before turning to see a young blonde girl. I almost winced at how fragile she looked, was this really the team we had? We were about as mismatched as the frickin' Breakfast Club.
"She doesn't look like she can be handling any vampires right now, unless I'm looking at the wrong person?"
"Oh no Miss Next, I assure you that's her."
Great, I thought, who are we going to get next? A demon? Perhaps a ghost, or how about a God? Yeah, this should be fun.

Why did i get the feeling i was being watched? I swallowed, and raised my pace a little, my eyes locked on the exits.
