03-12-05 Dear Diary,

Okay, I knew something was always weird about me. I always seemed to be a little bit stronger than everyone else. My body always just moved in ways that were more stealthy and fluid than all of my friends. I never cared, I mean hey that's what drives all the boys nuts over me right? Well now it's all different. I'm freakin way strong! In softball today I hit the ball two blocks away, that's good even for me. I got a letter from a man named Rupert Giles today. He told me why I'm like this. I, Abigail O'Shea, am a vampire slayer. Ok, I know what you're thinking, I'm thinking the same thing, but no really vampires are real! And I get to kill them!

I read the letter fifteen times exactly. Apparently, up until nine years ago there was only one slayer in a generation. Once one died another one was called. She alone would fight vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. Well then a slayer was called named Buffy Summers, and she screwed the whole thing up. She died, but her friend was with her and revived her. After that it was two slayers in one generation. Well that pissed off something called the First Evil and he tried to bring and end to the whole slayer line. He lost, haha sucks to be him, well the way that this Buffy girl defeated him was to make a lot of girls be Slayers. Now it's more like two hundred girls in a generation. I guess that's still incredibly small in comparison to the worlds demon population, which is why I feel so special, I'm one of those small minority. But here's the thing, I have to move to Cleveland, a hellmouth; whatever that is. I guess this Giles guy and Buffy and some other people set up a slayer training center there.

I'm so excited that I will have a special place in life, one that will impact the world, but I'm so nervous. I've never been outside Boston, or away from my family. I know, what a loser, I'm already fifteen and I haven't been away from the rents for more than two weeks. That's why I haven't given them the other letter that was in the envelope yet, the one that says I've been given a full scholarship to a very prestigious, exclusive private school in Clevland. Will my parents buy it? Will they just ship me off to this school that we've never even heard of before? I kind of hope they won't, they love me more than that right? But I also really want to go, I mean I'll have the chance to make my body absolutely fit, and learn about demons and mythology and spells and magic. It will be so exciting. That's it, I'm going to do it, I'm going to give them the letter. I'm going to fulfill my calling as a vampire slayer, but first I'm gonna get some sleep.
