Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires,demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer.

That's me. Well, sort of. For the longest time, I had been the only one in the world. It had been up to me to fight all the big nasties that go bump in the night. Then the First Evil came to town. Faith (the other Slayer in town- long story) and I had to pass on the burden of being a slayer. We made all of the Potential Slayers become Slayers. Thousands...millions of girls across the world were just like me. I wasn't alone anymore.

Together, we all closed the Hellmouth. That wasn't without sacrifice though. We lost two close friends- Anya and Spike- that day. Sure we had closed the Hellmouth and destroyed Sunnydale, but that didn't mean that we celebrated.

Giles had told me that there were more Hellmouths all over the world. That was when I knew what I had to do. I sent Giles off to train the potentials- sending my friends with him. I embarked on the journey of closing every Hellmouth in the world.

I may not be the only Slayer in the world anymore. But I am the original.

My name is Buffy Summers and I am the Slayer.
