I have kept a chronicle for most of my life. Two chronicles to be precise. One is the record of my private life and one is the Slayer's Chronicle that every watcher keeps.
This is the only the second time I have ever recorded something in both.
My Slayers' mother died three nights ago, and tonight their cousin found out about vampires. There was this broken look in Joan's eyes…It's the same look I've seen in all three of her cousins' eyes.
As it is, none of them are dealing with the tragedy very well…they have appointments to visit a local psychologist within the next few days and they'll be going to visit Joan's brother in the hospital.
I hate the powers.
