JONATHAN
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Part 1

Europe, The Dark Ages
Two figures ran through a dark alley. The one in front was pale, with a truly monstrous face. He had fangs. He was a vampire. He was running from the figure behind him, but what could scare a vampire so much?

That would be the Slayer. One was born into every generation. They were gifted with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, demons and the forces of darkness. They were proud strong warriors.

The Slayer finally caught up with with the vampire and plunged a wooden stake into its chest, the vampire burst into a cloud of dust that fell to the ground. "Go to hell foul beast!" the Slayer laughed.

"Very impressive!" a creepy voice said from the shadows. Another vampire came out of the shadows. This vampire was hideous with a bald face and blood red eyes, he was clad in armour like a knight.

The Slayer drew his sword ready to fight the beast. "I will kill thee vampire," the Slayer spat.

Before the Slayer could move any closer the vampire lifted the Slayer by his neck into the air and laughed,"When will you people learn? This is our world now, the home of the vampires!".

"Not as long as I live-" the Slayer answered before his neck was crushed.

The vampire then fed from the Slayer's neck and said,"Slayers will come and go but we will stay and we will reign. I am the Master and when the world belongs to the vampires, I shall unleash Hell!".

With one last breath the Slayer died.

California, The Lite Ages
The High school bell rang and hundreds of students poured out of the school building.Two teenagers were walking down a too-sunny street. Spring had just begun its swoon, leaving everything blurred, hazy, drunk on light. One of them was short, with dark hair, his name was Jonathan. The other was taller with fair hair and a nervous grin, his name was Andrew. They were freshmans at Sunnydale High, but they were definitely not from the popular crowd.

"So what do you wanna do this weekend?" Andrew said to Jonathan. It would be fair to say that Andrew was a geek and Jonathan was his only friend, so he felt most comfortable around him.

"Well, UPN has an Enterprise marathon on Satuarday. I could come come over to your place and we could have a sugar rush with donuts," Jonathan joked. Most of Andrew and Jonathan's time was spent watching repeats of sci-fi shows.

"Cool, see you tomorrow then," Andrew said before walking away.

Jonathan started walking in the opposite direction. They lived on different sides of the town so they couldn't walk home together. Jonathan hated walking home alone because he had to walk through the bad part of town. The town was nice and sunny in the day time, but every now and then strange things happened, usually at night.

Jonathan began to panic when he got a strange feeling that he was being followed. He turned around saw a large man standing behind him dressed in large coat. He was middle aged with a big moustache.

"Jonathan Levinson. I need to speak with you" the man asked.

"You're not from the comic book store are you? Because I honestly meant to pay for that issue of The Amazing Spiderman," Jonathan squeeled nervously.

The man leaned forward and said," you must come with me. Your destiny awaits,".

Jonathan was a little freaked out by this and said,"I don't have a destiny really. I'm destiny free,".

Jonathan tried to run away but the man stopped him and said,"Yes you do have a destiny. You alone can stop them!".

"Who?"

"The Vampires," the man added.

THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Part 2

"The Vampires?" Jonathan laughed,"Sorry buddy, I think you've got the wrong guy,".

The man then smiled and said," I'm sorry I must be scaring you. My name is Merrick. I was sent to find you some time ago, but there were complications...".

Jonathan was very freaked out by now, in fact he was almost ready to cry. His voice cracked as he said,"Just stay away from me okay!".

Jonathan began to walk away when Merrick asked,"Jonathan, did you ever dream that you were someone else?"

Jonathan stopped and said,"Everybody does,".

Merrick asked," No I mean someone real. Someone from the past? A Samuri warrior? A monk from Cortona? An Aztec maybe...?".

Jonathan was shocked,"How do you know all this?".

Merrick answered,"Because it is your destiny and I am a part of it,".

Jonathan just said,"But I'm just a boy,".

Merrick shook his head and said"No, you are much more than that. You are the Slayer. Now you must come with me to the cemetary so I can show you something,".

It was getting dark now and Jonathan was walking with Merrick to the cemetary.He was very late and should have been home ages ago, but he needed to know if it was all true.Did vampires really exist?What is a Slayer?

On the way to the cemetary Jonathan had been silent, but now he plucked up the courage to ask a question. "Erm, Merrick. What's a Slayer?".

"In every generation there is a chosen one. He alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness.He is the Slayer and when one Slayer dies the next is called...",Merrick answered.

"And I'm the Slayer?" Jonathan needed to keep track. Everything was happening so quickly.

"That is correct,"Merrick was ready to answer all his questions.

"But what about the guys in my dreams? And how do you fit into all of this? And how did you find me?" Jonathan wanted to know everything.

"The men you dreamt about were Slayers of the past. The dreams are a connection to you, telling you who you are.I am the Watcher, I must train and prepare you. I am part of a coven known as The Watchers, for centuries we have tracked down and trained the Slayers," Merrick told.

Jonathan now knew what he wanted, but it still didn't make sense. Before he could ask anymore questions they arrived at the gates of the cemetary.
The sun had set now and the cemetary was covered in darkness.

Merrick said,"This is what I wanted to show you". Merrick walked past several graves until he arrived at a freshly dug one.

"This is really wigging me out,"Jonathan squeeled.

"This is the grave of Robert Berman.He was killed two nights ago near the canal. He had tearing at the neck and shoulders.The coroners said it was a dog attack,"Merrick explained.

"Was it...was it a vampire?" Jonathan hesitantly asked.

"Correct. You're learning fast,"Merrick said,"When a vampire kills its victim they often force their victims to taste the blood of a vampire.This causes the victim to become a vampire too,".

"Is that what we're waiting for? For the body to become a vampire? Shouldn't we be leaving?"Jonathan asked.

"No,"Merrick said,"I want you to witness the DEAD rise again.Don't worry you won't have to do anything-" Merrick was interrupted. Before he could say anything the body of Robert Berman began to rise out of the ground.

THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Part 3

As the vampire began to rise Jonathan backed away slowly.

"Merrick!Do something!"Jonathan shouted.

Merrick threw a peice of wood to Jonathan and shouted,"Stake him in the heart!".

The vampire ran at Jonathan bearing his teeth.Jonathan panicked and stabbed the beast with the pecie of wood.The vampire fell onto his back with a peice of wood stuck in his stomach.

Jonathan and Merrick walked closer to the vampire as it struggled to get up. Merrick wagged his finger at Jonathan and said,"Jonathan that's not his heart that's his stomach,".

Jonathan was now totally freaked and the only words he could say were,"Oh. My mistake,". He then pulled the wood out of the vampire's stomach and plunged it into the vampire's heart. The vampire burst into a cloud of dust that fell to the floor.

"Oh my God!"Jonathan said amazed. He was no longer scared.He was impressed."I did that.I made that guy dissapear...I'm like a superhero or something!".

"You are the Slayer and over time your strength and power will grow,"Merrick said,"It's late.You must go home.Meet me at this address on Sunday,".Merrick handed Jonathan a peice of paper with an address scribbled on it.

"Merrick...they can't come in right?The vampires...they can't come into my home unless I invite them.Is that right?"Jonathan said.

"That is true.Now go home Slayer and rest,"Merrick said as he started to walk away,"Jonathan.Try to act normal.Don't tell anyone your identity...not your friends and not your family,".

Jonathan began his long walk home. He was dazed and confused.Everything had happened so fast that the day's events still did not make sense to Jonathan.All his life he though that he was just plain old Jonathan, the geek that was ignored and left in the shadows.But now he had realised that he was meant for something better, something so much more than just geek...he was the Slayer. The words filled him with excitement, fear and wonder.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"Jonathan's mother asked as he walked through the front door.

Jonathan shrugged his shoulders and said,"It's around nine,".

"Good because my watch has stopped,"Jonathan's mother laughed.Jonathan's mother was not the kind of mother that got angry when her son came home late. She was so busy wrapped up in her social life that she failed to notice Jonathan.

"Mom-"Jonathan started to say before his mother interrupted him.

"Honey I'm sorry but your dad and me we gotta go or we'll miss the party. The TV and phone are all yours.Dinner is in the microwave,"Jonathan's mother said before quickly kissing him on the cheek and walking out the front door.

Jonathan was now very much alone in the house.He was alone and confused.What was he going to do now that he knew his true destiny?

THE VAMPIRE SLAYERPart4

It was now Saturday morning and Jonathan wondered how he had managed to sleep through the night.When he woke up he hoped that the night before was just a dream, but the sad truth was that the night before did happen and it was very real.

He was too bust thinking about what had happened the night before thathe almost forgot thathe haad to go visit Andrew today. He jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed and threw on his shoes and coat.

On the way to Andrew's house Jonathan began to wonder whether he should tell Andrew about his true identity.Andrew was his best friend, he had never kept any secrets from him before so why should he now? Merrick had told Jonathan not to tell anyone about his identity as the Slayer. Even if he did tell Andrew would he believe him?Slayers and vampires?That kind of crazy talk could get him locked up.

Before he reached Andrew's house he past the cemetary, the memory of the vampire's face came flooding back to him.He was in a daze again all the rest of the way to the house.

He knocked on the door of Andrew's house.Nobody answered.Jonathan was going to knock a second time but he was worried that the flimsy door would fall down.Andrew's house was a dump, it was on the poor side of town.Andrew was poor, he would never admit it because he was embarrassed,but Jonathan never looked down on him for it.

"What do you want?"someone said as they finally answered the door.It was Tucker,he was Andrew's creepy older brother.Tucker was bizzare,he was always down in the basement of his house.

"I'm here to see Andrew,"Jonathan answered.

"He's upstairs in his room,"Tucker said.Tucker didn't even bother to show Jonathan upstairs.

Jonathan walked upstairs and went to the door that was covered with an Xena poster.This was obviously Andrew's room.

"Andrew?"Jonathan asked as he walked into the room.

Andrew was sitting on a beanie bag watching the adjacent TV set."Hey dude,"Andrew said as he watched Jonathan enter the room.

"Andrew I have to tell you something-"Jonathan said before Andrew interrupted him.

"Aren't you missing something?"Andrew said.

"What?"Jonathan asked.

"Donuts.You agreed that we'd come over here and that you'd bring donuts,"Andrew laughed.

"Oh..I forgot about that.Listen there's something important I have to tell you.Something only you will probably believe.I mean...I'm not so sure I believe it myself,"Jonathan rambled.

"Erm...okay,"Andrew said.He was slightly freaked at Jonathan's behaviour.

"Andrew...do you believe in vampire's?"Jonathan asked.

JONATHAN
THE VAMPIRE SLAYERPart5

A cavern below the streets of Sunnydale
The Cavern was dark, the only light was the flickering lights of the candles.Dark figures gathered around a tall vampire in the cave.The vampire was bald with blood red eyes and he was clad in armour.The other figures were also vampires,strong and armed with axes and swords. These were warriors.

The bald vampire sat on a throne and he said to the others,"Warriors,I am the Master.The time has come for my plan to come into action.I have spent many years gathering my army.Vampire warriors who are the best of the best!".

The other vampires cheered and one stepped forward,his name was Luke.Luke said,"Our Master is right.As we stand here on the Hellmouth we are one step closer to unleashing Hell on Earth and when we do the stars themselves will hide!"

Another vampire stepped forward.She was very beautiful dressed in a white silky gown,"Master, there is a problem.I've been casting bones for days and reading the cards...I fear that a Slayer is approaching and that he will try and stop your great plan!"

The Master laughed,"I have killed Slayers before, this one will be no different.If he tries to stop us then we will just kill him."

The other vampires cheered one again.

"My children,"the Master said,"I want you feed in the coming nights.I want you to be strong for the night when we open the Hellmouth,".
