A/N: There were some complaints that Xander's story wasn't long. I know
that. I'm not that good at Xander fics. This chapter will be slightly
longer, and it will be a different character.

That word.
It's always important to me. Important to all the Potential Slayers, too. All my life, I figured that I'd be choosing my own path for my life, but I was chosen for something more important than your everyday job. I was chosen to be the Slayer.
True, I may have hated it in the beginning, but I have grown up. I have grown to like my job, maybe even love it. And now it may be one of the girls' job. One of the girls' gift.
But they don't realize how hard it is to be the Slayer. The gang. Everyday, I have to make the important decisions. I have to organize the team; I have to make the attack plans for every fight we face. I have to constantly risk my life, knowing that my friends are safe, and knowing that the Potentials are alive. When I wake up in the morning, I always think, 'Will this be the day that I die? That the world will end?' Us Slayers, and Potential Slayers, lead a different life. We go down an unknown path that may end as we continue with our lives, like what we are doing now. Sure, our path may lead to a good end, but there are too many bad ends that sneak up on us.
We have lost too much Potentials. Too many innocent girls who didn't pick this for their future. They were picked by destiny. They were picked randomly, and taken out of their families. They probably wanted to be a doctor, or a writer, when they were young, and dreamt about their life in the future. They probably knew that they'd be safe, and have a normal life. How wrong they are. They just had no idea that they would someday hold the fate of the world in their hands, like what happened to me a couple years ago. That they would get chosen to be the next Slayer.
Even though the Slayer line ends with Faith, there are still two Slayers. There are still two people fighting for the world, fighting to save more innocent lives, fighting to save an innocent girl's future. I have died two times. And each time I have been brought back. I live in a world different from what I wanted to live in, a world where I'm surrounded by friends who care about me. But no matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances are, I will still long to lead a normal life. I will still wonder what it would be like if I weren't chosen.
