I've *never* rebelled.

I've always been the "good daughter". Good baby, good child, good everything. My brother Collin is a Hellbeast. And since he's a werewolf, I mean that litterally. Melanie is the athlete. Short hair, plays three sports, lives in Nike, doesn't own a dress. She can kick anyone's ass and swears like a trooper. Then there's Marissa. She's the bitch. If you've ever seen the movie Cruel Intentions, Marissa makes Kathryn look like the Marcia fucking Brady she pretends to be. My parents have tried to curb her attitude, but it just seems to get worse.

And then there's me. Responsible middle daughter Megan. I take ballet lessons, wear my hair long and curly like my mother, get straight As in school, plan to go to Dartmouth or Northwestern. Mom's friends all joke that I'm perfect.

All my life, Mom has said I should aspire to be like my father, and he has always said I should try to be like my mother. I've always told myself to be both. I mean, genetically, I already am, of course. Half Vampire, half Witch-Demon-Person, one hundred percent ME though. And now it's way too late to ever be just like either one of them.

The destiny has been decided for me and as much as I hate it, it's done. I'll accept it and fulfil it. I'm to be a Slayer.

Giles told me last week. A Slayer in Italy named Isabella is on her deathbed, and when she dies, it's my turn. It's a lot to handle, but I think I can do it.

Here's the creepy thing though. I'm actually sort of looking forward to it! Giles says he's proud of me for embracing my future and that he won't tell my parents. They'll be crushed though.

Not disappointed in me like Aunt Joyce was of Buffy, but sorry. Sad. They wanted better for me. Mom, Dad, so did I, but it's not meant to be. And I don't *have* to die! Look at Buffy! Faith! Both live and kickin' in their thirties.

And when I get the call, and I begin to train, I'll break my parent's hearts. At least I can finally be proud of myself.
























She is Spike and Anya's daughter!!!
