Author's Note: Okay, I haven't seen the 5th season of Angel, so if I bring back any characters that are supposed to be dead, and then just pretend they never died.

Chapter 10

A loud crack rent the air and all the girls froze as if it had been some kind of signal. Faith uncrossed her arms and stepped forward.

"Okay, who was it?" She called out. A girl named Amanda stood up. She was cradling her right arm in her left.

"Me!" she called out. "Kennedy broke my arm." Kyla gasped, but Amanda seemed to be fine.

"So Faith only stops the fight when someone breaks something? Isn't that a little…bad?" Kyla whispered to the girl next to her. The girl shook her head.

"No." She said. "It helps with training. You see, you can throw a knife right?"

"Yeah."

"But can you throw it with your left hand?"

"No, only my right, 'cause I'm right-handed."

"That's my point. If you broke your right arm, then you'd have to train with your left and you'd be a better Slayer for it." The girl said. She was about to continue but the doors to the kitchen burst open and in came, a demon! It was horrible, with green skin and gleaming red eyes, and evil, sharp red horns and-oh, no. It was just Lorne. But Kyla didn't know that.

"Demon!" she screamed, and reached inside her sweater and pulled out a stake. She threw it at Lorne and missed. He chuckled.

"You must be the new one." He smiled. "Step right up for your reading."

"My what, now?"

"Reading," the girl beside her whispered. "You sing for him, and he reads your future." Kyla stepped forward tentatively and began to sing.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star…" As she sang, she watched Lorne's face. First he frowned, then brightened, then frowned again.

"Okay, sugar plum, that's good." Kyla stopped singing, but Lorne didn't tell her anything. He walked over to Faith, Dawn and Andrew. He whispered something, and Faith called over Chloe, Kennedy, Rona, Vi and Amanda. They stood in a tight circle and whispered together. Kyla was getting angry. Why should they know about her future if she didn't? Suddenly, Kennedy broke free of the group. She slammed her fist against the wall and swore loudly.

"You think you can take it all away from me?" She screamed at Kyla. "You think that you're special, because the Powers think you should be next?! You have no idea how long I've waited! The Powers That Sit Back And Don't Do A Damn Thing are at it again!" She turned and screamed to the rest of the silent group. Her eyes were bulging and she looked quite mad. "First the Slayer powers, then Willow, the THIS! The Powers can do NOTHING for you! They'll take your life, anything you regret, anything you missed out on, and they'll spit it back in your face! They'll do it again and again until you're nothing left! Well, I'm not going to let it happen. Next, it WILL be my turn, I can promise you that! I'll kill the third Slayer, and then the next, and the nest and the nest until it's MY turn again, you just wait!" She whirled around and walked towards Kyla. Then Kyla figured it out. She was going to be the next Slayer, and Kennedy was going to kill her.

"You can't." Kyla tried, attempting to sound intimidating. "How are you going to get help to do all this?" Kennedy smiled.

"I already do. You think it's a coincidence? Angel coming back? The dreams you've been having? I put it all there, and I knew something was going to come. I knew that I wouldn't be chosen. But what I didn't know is that it would be you. A measly little newbie runt, as the Chosen One? Good luck!" She spat. "I've been planning this for ages, and now it's my turn. If I have to kill every one of you, I will. I will get my turn."

Author's Note: Sorry, short chapter. Anyway, please review. What'd you think of the 'surprising' twist at the end?
