Buffy Summers and William the Bloody meet in the most unexpected way.
A fair amount of dialogue from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie has been used in this chapter only.

Happy New Year to you all! 
Sorry its been a while my sweets. Thanks you to everyone who's been keeping up with the story and liking/ reviewing.
I haven't had much time over Christmas to update any of my WIPs as I have exams next week and so much of my time has been spent revising. I had a few days of fun, of course, but now I'm concentrating on getting through the next couple of weeks.
A huge thank you to the awesome Badwolfjedi for her beta skills!
