It's the morning next day, I sit with Buffy, Treya and Angel around the table eating waffles Andrew has made.
"What are you guys planning today?"Angel asks everyone.
"I don't know I am free until 1 then I have some talk with slayers. Oh, that's something I actually forgot to tell you," Buffy motions to me and Angel" you have to have a conversation with the counselor .It's just a routine, we do it with everyone."
"Counselor?"
"That's me. It's nothing big, I just ask you how are you handling everything with the supernatural and so on…"Buffy answers.
"We know about demons our entire life is it really necessary?" I would rather not push our cover stories too much.
"Yes, it's a rule."
"Okay then, when should we come?"I ask.
"Today around two and Sunset can come at three or so."
"Ok" Angel agrees.
"So where are Will and Kennedy?"I ask them. I wonder if Willow has looked at the results.
"Probably getting some action"Faith grins as she approaches us.
"Do you always think with your guts?"Treya asks. I can see Angel chuckling, she is enjoying this. She sees a whole new side of both of her mothers. In the future, it's sometimes hard for her to see her parents as humans and not some super girls who has to do everything perfectly. And then it's nearly impossible for her and them to live up to this image. I think seeing them now, can help their relationship in the future. Well, except that we are never getting back…
"Yep, it's more fun." Faith grins even more.
"Here, they are" Angel says, and sends me worried look. She is as nervous as I am but she is hiding it well.
"Hi, guys" Kennedy greets us. Everyone else says his or her greetings .But I am too busy staring at Willow. Looking for any sign about what she is gonna do. If she tells them now, there is no way I can stop her. She opens her mouth, ready to say something and I tense up immediately.
"Hi," What? This is what she will say? No signs, nothing…
They take their waffles and sits to our table.
"So Andrea, are you feeling alright today?"Will asks me. Just tell me. Give me sign. She actually smiles at me. Stop enjoying this, Will.
"Perfect."I snap at her. Okay, that was a bit rude. Kennedy sends me surprised look, while Angel is more worried every second.
"It's just, that your plate is still full," What does that have to do with anything?"For being a slayer you don't seem to have such a big appetite." She says almost warmly, while her eyes are like ice. Okay, does that mean she knows and doesn't have any proof? That she doesn't know but is testing me, or what?
"I am not in the mood for eating; after all I just recovered yesterday from being bitten by a vampire. That happens to you when you are a slayer." My voice matches the temperature of her look.
"Oh really? Then why don't you tell me some other truths that you get only when you are a slayer?"
"Why should I bother? You are not like us." Everybody is staring at us now. I guess we should have been more secretive. Bu I don't care anymore I just keep glaring at her.
"Are you guys okay?"Buffy asks us.
"We are as fine as she is a slayer."She smiles at Buffy. Okay what test did I fake wrong? And why is she still protecting me from Treya if she is pissed? I think I need to talk to her soon.
"I think I'll go for a walk."I stand up and hope that Will got the invitation in it.
I look around as I leave the house, the street is mostly empty, I can only see few kids at the end of the road. Playing some silly game, probably slayers kids. It used to be weird for people at first but then they got used to so many girls around, and to the weird stuff and trainings, we do in the middle of the night.
I don't have to wait too long and here she comes.
"What's the result?"I ask.
"You are a slayer."What?
"Then what was that inside?"
"You are hiding something."
"We have been through this before, why do you think so?"I sigh.
"Stop playing games we had enough of that inside."
"I am sorry," I say and she seems so surprised that her anger almost immediately disappears.
"Look, I don't know what you are hiding but I know that the day you came here you saved Ken and yesterday you tried to save Faith. So I'll let you go with it. But I am telling you, if I ever find out that your secret is hurting someone you will wish I only turned evil." Wow, I certainly didn't expect this. Well I am glad she won't push anymore, but I still have to be careful, she will be watching me.
"I don't know why you think I have a secret but thanks."I call out as she leaves. She just shakes her head.
