Part 1

Ariara suddenly wakes up with tears in her eyes. She can't see, to remember where she is till she looks around and remembers she's on a train to take her from her home of Birmingham to London to visit the Watcher's Council. Mr. Jones had told her that he was her Watcher, trainer, and now legal guardian because she is the Slayer, the Chosen One. Her parents were killed by an evil vampire, Metallic, out for revenge against all Slayers. She has been reliving the day she found her parents for the last week that her and Mr. Jones has been traveling. It seems so wrong for her to have been thinking about her bad day while her parents were being killed at that moment. Mr. Jones had tried to convince her it wasn't her fault. What if she has gotten there earlier? She would've seen them die or worse been killed herself. At that moment she swear to take revenge on all vampires for the death that they brought her parents. She tries to push away her thoughts as the train comes to a stop in London. Ashford comes over and grabs Ariara's bags and leads her off the train and over to a 2028 Firebird.

"Nice car. Only a year old. Yours?" Ariara questions.

"Yes I had it driven here form my original home somewhere close to here." Ashford explains as he opens the passenger door. Ariara walks over and gives Ashford a nod and sits down. Ashford closes and goes to sit in the driver's side. "Buckle your seatbelt. We are due to meet the Council in 30 minutes." Ariara nods her head still not able to manage to talk and buckles her seatbelt. Ariara can feel rising deep inside her.

Ashford returns back to Ariara's temporary living quarters. The doors open from his presence and he walks inside. The walls are painted white and blank. All that is in the room is a closet, small bed and a bookshelf with about 50 books and a table and chairs. Ariara is sitting at the table reading a book. She jumps up as soon as she hears Ashford approaching.

"Oh Mr. Jones I didn't mean to…I mean I was training but I saw this book that my mom use to read me and well I had to…"

"It's quite all right Ariara I just came to give you news form the Watcher's Council."

"Are they gonna see me?"

" Not today, today you are just suppose to stay in your quarters while I discuss important matters with them."

"All right, I'll be here."

"Thank you Ariara I will return around 11:30 try and get some sleep it has been a long trip." Ashford turns and leaves Ariara's room. Ariara paces her room for several minutes.

'these white walls are driving me bonkers. I'm going out to patrol. I know its only my 3rd time and I shouldn't be going along. But how hard could it be? Stake to the heart, holy water, crosses. I think I got it covered." Ariara grabs her packed bag and steps out onto the shingles and jumps down the remainder 3 stories. 'See I'll be ok."
