"Into Every generation, there is a chosen one. One girl in all the world. She alone wield the strength and skill to stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness; To stop the spread of evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer."
Dear Diary,
I know that the prophecy that once governed and spelt out the duties of the slayer no longer pertains to this generation, BUT lately for whatever reason, I find myself constantly drawn or thinking about this particular text. I don't know, maybe I'm just losing it or maybe it has something to do with the recurring dream I've been having involving Sineya, The FIRST Slayer. Normally I'd go and talk to Jessica about something like this, but I can't seeing as she's been reassigned to Cleveland, Ohio the lucky S.O.B. She gets to go out in the field with Robin Wood and his squad as they work on keeping the hell mouth closed, while I get to stay here in Scotland with all the newbie slayers and be under the constant and ever watchfull eye of Buffy Summers. Can someone say, rip off?
The destruction of Sunnydale and it's hell mouth happened about three years ago and STILL us slayers are branded as terrorists, which makes it that much harder for us to do our job. Now, unlike like all these OTHER slayers I've been training to be a slayer from the time I was seven, as I was placed under the care of Watchers after my mother died on my fourth birthday. As for my father he's a mystery, no one has any idea who he is, what he looks like or even if he's still alive. I personally don't care either way, BUT everyone around me seems to think that my boyish sense of style, attitude and sometimes colorful vocabulary are cries for help and apparently stems from my lack of a having male authority figure growing up. You know for an organization made up of vampire slayers, witches, and hunters who do nothing but kill things twenty four seven, I wonder where everyone found the time to go and get their psychology degree.
On a happier note it's my eightteenth birthday today, which means today is my very last Slayer obstacle course before getting assigned to a squad, and FINALLY being able to do some field work. This test is all about speed & efficiency, so the better I do on it the more dangerous of an assignment I'll be given. I CAN'T WAIT! If I do well this'll be the last entry in my jounral for a while, so good luck to me…..
Sincerely,
C.C.
