The Dawnmeister Chronicles
Chapter Five: Prophecy Girl

Ok, so know what I've said before? About Buffy and all that stuff in her diary about her being the Slayer? Turns out, kinda might be true. She came back late tonight because it was the Spring Fling. She didn't look like she'd been to a Fling. She looked like she'd gone to a pool party in completely the wrong outfit. Mom was in bed, I think she got sick of waiting up for Buffy.

But I was still awake when she came in and she caught me peeking out of my door. She was in a good mood because she grabbed me, tumbled me on my bed and tickled me. She covered my mouth when I started giggling too loudly and told me to be quiet so I didn't wake Mom.

I asked her what was going on with her hair and make-up. She looked at me weird, like she wanted to tell me, but didn't.

"I'm not telling you," she said and got all huffy and started to leave. It was bye-bye good mood, like I'd reminded why she shouldn't be happy or something. Martyr much? (See, told you I was the smart Summers').

"If you don't tell me what's going on, I'll tell Mom you didn't get home 'til gone midnight and you looked like a drowned rat," I told her, because sometimes, just sometimes, I like to play the power card.

She stopped and looked back at me.

"You are evil," she said.

"No, I'm your little sister."

"Same thing."

I shrugged, "Spill."

She didn't look like she wanted to, but for once, I had the power. I was the big sis in this sitch. And Buffy had no choice but to spill everything.

Not that I believe her or anything.

She told me all this stuff about Slayers, one girl in all the world… blah, blah, blah. Then, she told me that she burnt down Hemry school gym because it was full of vampires.

Then she told me about coming here. Said this was the Hellmouth and how she didn't want to be the Slayer, how she told Giles she quit and she was doing it anymore because she was only 16 and she wasn't ready for a prophecy to say she was going to die. I was like "Woah! Giles? Prophecy? Die?"

And that's how it all came out. How Giles is her Watcher because her first one died. Turns out the creepy guy who came to the house that one time Mom was out wasn't Buffy's sugar daddy or her pimp, he was her Watcher. Merrick. British too, same as Giles. Figures.

Then she told me about Angel, because she said she might as well tell me everything now she'd started. She totally contradicted what she first said about vampires - soulless, evil, yadda, yadda, yadda - because apparently Angel's good and has a soul and y'know, it doesn't take a genius to work out that Buffy's got a huge crush on him.

Anyway, the biggest thing she told me was about tonight. Angel brought Giles some book - The Codex or something - and in there it said Buffy was going to die. It freaked her out (hell, it freaked me out just hearing about it) and she wanted out of the Slayer thing.

But then Buffy - my sister - got all hero-y. There was an earthquake earlier and her friend Xander saved her life after she drowned (she wouldn't go into details). Then she killed some main vampire man called The Master (ooo, original, fear has struck my heart). Not that I care about that, or how Angel came rushing to her rescue. I thought the best part was Xander coming with Angel and saving her life. That is so cool. I mean, how totally hot is that?

She said she saved the world. Ok, so she spun a good yarn and maybe – maybe – I kinda believe her.

But, come on, saved the world? Self involved much?

The End.
