Disclaimer: Yes, I own all of them, in fact I am Joss Whedon myself writing fan-fic incognito to express my deepest hidden thoughts. Of course is Spike mine, mine alone and I don’t share.
Hm, I was told that lying was nothing a lady should indulge in, but as I use to call it, not telling the whole truth is not a lie. Sadly that was one of them hiding truths thingies, so please don’t sue, me truly own nothing but my computer this was written on and the crazy mind that cooked up this little story. Joss is still God and I shall bow down before his Greatness.
Author’s notes: This is my response to this challenge I’ve read several wonderful stories about. But since I noticed that they are all a bit dark in nature, I decided to go for something lighter; something with a little more humour in it.

~Prologue~
The Hellmouth on the Edge of Forever
I am the Watcher.
It is my sacred and sworn duty to look out over the Chosen One, for she alone has been destined to slay vampires and other forces of evil that are crawling around in the darkness of a never ending night.
And right here, on the Mouth of Hell that Sunnydale resides on, they have gathered, trying to best her. They walk amongst the unsuspicious humans, their features, their true faces disguised underneath their human masks and waiting for their prey to come out.
I am her Guardian.
I have been chosen to train her in how to perform her duty best; to guide her in her eternal fight against the dark ones, the creatures of the night.
I am never to interfere in her fight, but only to give guidance and support where and when it is deemed necessary.
It is my duty and I will fulfil it with my heart and soul because it is what is demanded from me. I will do it with the same compassion and devotion that those before me had performed it and will continue to do so when I will be no more.
I am there to simply watch from my assigned place and to never intervene, no matter at what cost.
