The room was all white and had a hint smell of medicine and all I could hear was beeping and I stood infront of a bed and there was a little girl in the bed who I was familiar with

"Anna?"

I asked quietly thinking she could hear but she was sound asleep and the next thing I knew she woke up and started to scream bloody murder my eyes go wide when I look at the thing making her scream and....


I woke up in a sweat and desperately trying to catch my breath...I never want to relive that moment ever again.

After I got dressed in skinny blue jeans, a black tank top and my black bots I drove off to the hospital where I'm sure everyone else is by now and when I start walking up to the entrance I see the gang outside with Buffy in a wheelchair and walk up to them instead and I hear Buffy talking about...Death

"Well I came to the party late."

I say as I finally get to them and they all glare at me "What are you doing here Nikki? I'm better now so you don't need to protect me" Buffy speaks up
"Well your still here and now in a wheelchair so as far as I'm concerned I'm still gonna keep coming if you like it or not....now what are we gonna do about this Death?" I finish as I sat down
"Wait you saw it too?" Willow asks shyly
"Not physically but I did see a vision of it last night and my vision are never wrong."

"Well maybe it wasn't Death maybe it was something else" Buffy says almost hoping it was

"So this isn't about you being afraid of hospitals cause your friend died and you wanna conjure up a monster that you can fight so you can save everybody and not feel so helpless?" Cordelia asks like it's obvious to everyone even though in way it is "Cordelia have you actually heard of tact?" Giles asks her with a disappointed look and I hold back a chuckle "Tact is just not saying ture stuff...I'll pass" she replys while sitting down

"This has nothing to do with that....this little boy Ryan is afraid of something something real..as long as I'm forced to stay here I'm gonna find out what" Buffy says frustrated

"Is this is the part where we say what can we do to help?" I ask looking at everyone for approving faces "We don't need you...your the dark slayer why would we need you?" Buffy asks me looking pissed off and I take a minute to think and look at Glies and he gives me a nod which means it's time to tell her

"I would like a minute to talk to Buffy..alone please"

They all get the hint and walk off one by one and give Buffy a supporting look and we both remain silent for a few minutes until I speak up "There are two reasons why I'm here.. one I know what your talking about.. I've had similar experiences with this demon...it killed my little sister when I was 10 and when she had pneumonia...I don't know why it's back or how but I'm gonna make sure this thing dies once and for all" I stop to think for a second to let that sink in for her " and the second reason?" She asks
"I'm not only the so called dark slayer but I'm also your shadow.. which means I'm your protector as you are mine..the only reason why that part isn't in any books cause no one ever expected me to become....me...no one ever cared enough to keep that part in the books cause the dark slayer hasn't been alive for centuries so they slowly started to take out that part in the books and leave that part where it says I'm basically a darth vader version of you...I don't know why or frankly care but I do know that no matter how much me and you don't like it..."
I stop for a second
"We are destined to be that way" she finishes for me

"Yeah basically.."

"So in a fucked up way we are destined sisters...and I wanted to apologize for keeping myself a secret from you and everyone...I thought it would have been best to stay in the shadows.. I guess that didn't go so well" I say looking down and for what seemed like forever she puts her hand on my knee

"I don't need protection I can do fine on my own but I appreciate and forgive you...I just wanted an explanation to why you did...but now I understand you didn't really have a choice....and that I can sympathize with that....and who knows? Maybe we can be a good team besides it would be nice to not feel so alone in it" She says with a kind smile and I look up at her trying not to cry "Yeah it would be nice...you know from the time I became your art teacher you've shown me your a good kid" I say putting my hand on hers smiling and I get up and give her a hug I never thought I would give her.

After our heart felt moment we went back to her room where everyone else was and it somehow felt more...like I belonged there with them...but I know there was one person that I wanted right there beside me...I'm starting to feel William getting farther away from me.

Xander and Cordelia went somewhere in the hospital to go get flies that could explain something about the doctor helping the kids and Giles and Willow went to the library to find something on the demon and I stayed with Buffy and she talks about what she went though with her cousin and what she says makes me think about what happened with Anna and how similar the stories sound but I kept my theories to myself for the time being and after she's done talking me and her decide to take a walk to see if we see something suspicious around the hospital and we make our way to the children ward and we see the little Ryan

"You shouldn't be here" he says

"Why?"

"Contagious.."

"Eh I already got what you got"

Buffys says as she's sitting down

"What about her?" He asks looking up at me

"I rarely get sick anymore..got a good immune system" I say while sitting down also and I see what Ryan is drawing and it's the same demon I saw long ago and saw in my vision I look over at Buffy and she gives me a look

"He'll come again tonight" he says as if he's in a horror movie

"Ryan listen to me..we aren't gonna let this thing hurt you..any of you..the grown ups don't believe you right? Well I do and so does my friend Nikki..we both know that there are real monsters but there are also real heros that fight monsters...and that's me and her" she points to me

"Can't fight death" he says returning to his drawing

After the creepy introduction to little Ryan me and Buffy decided to follow the doc to see what he was doing and we followed him to a different part of the children's ward and peek in the room and see him shooting up one of the kids I.V bags with something that doesn't seem like helping and all of a sudden it looked like he was being attacked by something that was completely invisible and whatever it was it threw him out the room and when Buffy tired to get a better look at him she was pushed by said invisible man and the body started to get dragged the arms and I tired kicking it but it threw me against the wall and before I knew it the body was gone and Buffy was shaking on the ground...as far as I know the doc is dead and I have no idea to what this kind could be.
