Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU

From the moment that you stumbled across one of your best friends, Willow, doing something that looked like witchcraft, you knew your life wasn't going to go the way that you had planned. After failing to cover it up, Willow explained it all to you, and your curiosity got the best of you when you asked if you could try being a witch. And turns out, you're pretty good at it! Since then, you've been practicing alongside Willow, learning how to be a witch.

But tonight, you're not practicing any witchcraft. Willow invited you and your best friend, Miguel, to come over and hang out with her and her friends Buffy and Xander. You had met the two of them a few times, but Miguel hasn't yet.

As you two walk up to the front door, you silently hope that Miguel will enjoy this. He's been... off the past couple of weeks. His skin looks a little paler than normal and he's been weird about hanging out with you for long periods of time. You haven't really asked him about it yet, figuring he'll tell you when he's ready to. But as the front door opens and Willow warmly welcomes you both inside, you push those thoughts to the back of your mind.

The evening is fun as you all gather in the living room, talking about everything from college to TV shows. Buffy seems a little cautious of Miguel, almost like she suspects something as she glares at him, but you try to ignore it. You keep a close eye on Miguel and so far, he seems like he's having a good time! You softly smile before the room bursts into laughter at something Xander says. But after an hour or so, Miguel starts looking faint. He excuses himself to the kitchen to grab water, and you quickly follow after him, worried about your best friend.

"Miguel? Are you okay?" you ask him. But before he can respond, Buffy storms in, followed by a confused Willow and Xander.

"You," she angrily says, pointing a... sharpened stick at Miguel? Miguel looks scared as he opens his mouth to say something, and you notice... fangs?
