Chapter 6.
Damon and Casandra look through the old books and find a book about three witches who are born to be the most powerful witches in the world. These witches are known as the Charmed ones.
Another book that they find tells the tale of a warrior princess during the time of ancient Greece. The legendary warrior is called Xena. Xena's beloved friend and partner in life Gabriel writes the stories of her adventures.
The next book is about a very unique armor. In every generation one woman is chosen to wear the armor. The armor chooses the person to wield it and she will live her life by her destiny. The armor is known as the Witchblade.
Finally, Damon finds the book that he is looking for. He pulls it out and puts it on the kitchen table. Casandra goes up to Damon and recognizes the book.
"My dad use to read this a lot," says Casandra. "He told me the story of the slayer. I always hoped that she was real."
"She is," replies Damon as he opens the book and begins to read one of the pages. "In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone can stands against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer."
"I know that," says Casandra. "My father knew that by heart."
"How could one girl protect the world from these evil forces," says Damon. "Look some pictures of the past slayers."
"Some were very beautiful," says Casandra as she glances to one of the slayers with black hair and blue eyes.
"And they all died at young ages," says Damon. "Except her." Damon remembers the tombstone that indicated the most recent slayer; Buffy was 20 years old.
"Who are you talking about?" ask Casandra.
"Buffy Ann Summers," replies Damon.
"Who is she?" asks Casandra.
"The latest slayer," says Damon as he close the book.
"Damon. What are you trying to say here?" ask Casandra. "You think these stories are true."
"Remember the other night," says Damon. "That strange girl. She was a vampire."
"Damon, are you trying to make me believe that there are vampires in this town?" says Casandra.
"Yes, and I've seen my fair share," says Damon. "They are as real as you and I."
"If this is true then if one dies..." says Casandra.
"Then another is called," says Damon finishing her sentence.
"So where is the new slayer?" ask Casandra.
"That's what I got to find out," says Damon.
The next day Dawn is upset that the spell didn't work. She thought that her Latin could have been wrong, but is unsure of it. Damon finds her, as she is drinking water from a water fountain.
"You promised me that you would tell me everything," says Damon.
"Look I'm sorry I dragged into this," says Dawn. "I put you in danger. You should just forget anything I said to you."
"Wait a minute," says Damon. "I just want to know about the slayer." Dawn turns to him.
"No!" says Dawn. She turns away and begins to walk away from him.
"In every generation there is a chosen one," says Damon. Dawn stops and turns around. "Was your sister a slayer?"
"How do you know about the slayer?" ask Dawn.
" I've got my sources," replies Damon with a smirk.
"Why are you so curious?' ask Dawn.
"It's in my nature," says Damon. "Who is next in line?"
"There is none," replies Dawn.
"What do you mean?" ask Damon.
"They're not sending one," says Dawn.
"Why not?" ask Damon.
"Just leave me alone," replies Dawn pushing Damon against the wall.
"She getting rough with ya," says the basketball teams Captain passing by. "Told ya younger chicks bring about trouble."
"Don't call her a chick, okay." says Damon pushing the Captain of the basketball team against the wall. He then leaves.
"Whoa, attitude problem." says the Captain of the basketball team.
After school at the magic shop Dawn searches for the witchcraft book. She can't find it. Then Willow approaches her from behind and startles her.
"Dawn is this what you are looking for?" ask Willow.
"Maybe," says Dawn looking at the witchcraft book in Willows hand.
"Dawn why did you take this book the other day," ask Willow. "Did you do a spell?"
"Yes, but it didn't work," says Dawn.
"What kind of spell?" ask Willow.
"A revival spell," says Dawn in a meek voice.
"Dawn you weren't trying to bring Buffy back, were you?" ask Willow. Dawn looks away. "Dawn that's dangerous. You could have gotten yourself hurt or even killed."
"I wasn't alone," says Dawn. "Remember that guy that came for the herbs that I helped. He got me the ingredients."
"Dawn you endangered some else's life," says Willow.
"I know. I wasn't thinking," replies Dawn. "Now he wants to know everything. For all I know he might just walk right through that door and ask Giles about the slayer."
The front door of the magic shop opens and Damon enters with Casandra's book in his hand. He looks around. Willow and Dawn duck behind a bookshelf. Then from the back room comes Giles as Tara rises from behind the counter. Damon goes up to Giles and puts the book down.
"I want to know everything there is to know about the slayer," says Damon. Giles is speechless for a second then proceeds to walk toward Damon.
"Where did you get that book?" ask Giles.
"A friend," replies Damon.
"Give me a name," says Giles.
"What does it matter," say Damon.
"Do you want any questions answered?" says Giles.
"Casandra Hart," says Damon.
"Hart," says Giles as he goes over to his books. He opens one and scans through it. He finds a Donald Hart.
"Is her father Donald Hart," ask Giles.
"Yes, how did you know?" ask Damon.
"He is a Watcher," says Giles.
"A what?" ask Damon.
"He must be waiting for the next slayer," says Giles turning around and taking off his glasses.
"I'm kind of lost here," says Damon. Giles turns to Damon.
"Where is he?" ask Giles.
"He's traveling," replies Damon.
"Traveling in search for the next slayer," says Giles.
"Hey, can we go back to what's a watcher?" ask Damon. Dawn comes out from behind the shelf.
"A slayer is activated," says Dawn. Willow comes out. She looks at Tara then at Giles.
"Yes," says Giles looking at Dawn straight in the eyes. "It seems that her watcher is looking for her."
"She could be anyone," says Willow. "How would we know it's her?"
"A sign will tell," says Giles. "The way I found Buffy." He looks at Dawn then continues. "We were both new."
"That means the council lied about not sending a slayer," says Tara as she walks over to the others.
"Council, watcher. Now I'm really way behind," says Damon trying to get the attention of the others. They all look at him. Dawn introduces everyone to Damon. Everyone greets.
"Now, how about someone explaining all this to me," says Damon.
Giles explains that he is Buffy's watcher, someone who trains a slayer to fight the forces of darkness. They all tell Damon some stories about Buffy saving the world "a lot" and Damon thought that how could a pretty girl like Buffy is able to fight the forces of darkness. Damon is impress.
"Too fast," says Dawn. Damon sits down then looks at Dawn.
"I'm handling it," he replies.
"You can't tell anyone," says Giles.
" I told you knowing too much would get you into trouble," says Dawn.
"So my friend's father is looking for the next slayer," says Damon.
"Yes, and we better find her soon before the vampires find out there is no slayer in Sunnydale," says Giles.
"Giles," says Willow. "I think they already know." Giles turns to Willow.
"At the Bronze, we saw a couple of vampires," says Tara. "Willow scared them pretending to be the slayer."
"They didn't fall for it," says Dawn. "I saw one rise in the cemetery."
"What were you doing in the cemetery?" ask Giles.
"Playing hid 'n go seek," says Dawn with smile.
"The big deal here is we've got to battle vampires with no slayer," says Damon.
"It's a bigger deal then you think," says Giles. "A slayer even with her strength needs training like anybody else."
"I'll do it," says Damon. "Train me."
"You want me to train you," says Giles.
"Yeah, until you find the next slayer," says Damon.
"Like a substitute," says Dawn. "Giles it's not a bad idea. He's already slain two vampires."
"No, you couldn't possibly take it," says Giles.
"Try me," says Damon.
"Giles we need him," says Dawn. "None of us can fight them and he has." Everyone looks at Tara who is quiet.
"Why is everyone looking at me," says Tara. "I'm with Willow and Dawn." They all look at Giles and he agrees to do it.
Giles begins to teach Damon fighting techniques. Damon quickly picks up the techniques and in two days he could take on Giles. Then Willow teaches him how to plan strategies and think on his feet. As for Tara and Dawn they cheer Damon on. They give him food and water. Damon likes them more than Giles and Willow.
On the second night he is out patrolling with Willow. Dawn is going whether anyone likes it or not.
"So we just walk around?" ask Damon to Willow.
"Yeah, they usually come to you," says Willow. Damon is relief that he didn't have to go look for them.
They heard a rustling in the bushes. Damon gets in front of Willow ready to fight. To their surprise it is Dawn.
"Dawn what are you doing here?" ask Willow.
"I wanted to help," says Dawn. "I brought some chips."
"Oh, ranch," says Damon. "My favorite." He grabs a hand full of chips from the bag. Dawn agrees.
"Dawn it's too dangerous for you out here," says Willow. "I'm taking to Giles'."
"Dawn Willow's right," says Damon. "This is not your place." Then from out of no where comes a vampire and jumps on Damon. His stake falls to ground and he is unable to reach it.
"Run," says Damon. "I can handle this." Willow and Dawn runs as fast as they could. They got into the car and drove off as a black convertible arrives. I man in black exits the car and heads over to where Damon is fighting.
Damon flips the vampire off of him and grabs the stake from the floor. When he gets up to stake the vampire he is gone. The vampire surprises Damon form behind. He kicks him and stakes him. The man in black watches Damon.
"Who are you?" ask the man in black.
"Superman," jokes Damon. "I thought the cape and the suit were a little too tacky if you know what I mean."
"How do you know how to slay a vampire?" ask the man.
"Oh, easy. A stake through the heart, a cross, a little holy water," says Damon.
"It's not that easy kid," says the man. "You should just go home and leave this to the ones who can do this."
"Hey, I can do this," says Damon. "Who do you think you are?" The man in black turns around to reply, but a vampire jumps on top of him. He flips the vampire then another one hits him in the head and the man fall to the floor. Damon runs to his rescue. Damon stakes the vampire on the floor, but the other runs away.
"You let him get away," says the man getting up.
"A thank you would be better," says Damon.
"He's got my cell phone," says the man. The two start running after the vampire. Damon gets tire and rest on a tombstone. Then he sees this bright light and a girl that Damon recognizes come out of it.
"I'm alive," she says. "How did I..." She feels weak and faints. Damon catches her before she hits the floor.
The dark man approaches Damon carrying the girl and he becomes in shock when he sees her.
"Buffy," says the dark man, Angel.
