I would like to thank my first two reviewers ever… specialbuddyzip and ZELINIA. Thank you for your reviews and yes, ZELINIA, I followed your advice and put "Letting Go" on the star wars list instead of the BtVS one. Don't know why I didn't do that in the first place… So as a treat I decided to write the next chapter earlier than planned…so…Anyway…..

AN: MUST READ TO "GET" THIS CHAPTER! -Or at least the beginning.

Over the last 20 years the situation with the underworld has gotten worse and worse. The troubles started in Buffy's time but didn't escalate until much later. Although most modern slayers reviewed her (Buffy) with a rather angry air since most blamed her for the problems… though they really knew she had just been the catalyst. The problems have been progressively worse in the last 20 years, starting with the manhunt for most female children with the potential to become slayers (a.k.a. "potentials" que the stupid comedian drumbeat) this manhunt encircles young girls of all ages, sometimes even infants, which was mankind's first rude awakening to a situation that had been going on for thousands of years………

Sadia has spent last 4 years in battle with and hiding from a vampire proclaimed "the slayer of vampire slayers". Sadia is the latest slayer and what looks to be the last… because of the demon up rise and the killing of most of the potentials The Powers That Be started instilling the potential "gifts" in almost all female babies born which also caused the children's murders at the hands of the demons. Since the female population has been seriously cut into the human race is dwindling and dying out making the possibility of Sadia being the last standing slayer very real. She is the ultimate slayer, one of the precious few females to reach a semblance of adulthood, but at the age of 20 she has managed to survive 7 years of being the slayer an almost impossible feat. Her watcher, Daniel, was killed shortly after her awakening on her 13th birthday. Her family is unknown ad she was given to Daniel the second she was born (a reason she's still alive, she and Daniels went into immediate hiding and training) only for the man to hear the newborn's family being slaughtered when the demons converged on the house. Sadia's fraternal twin was to be the cover of the baby's disappearance. But as luck, or misfortune would have it a female vampire was amongst the throng sent to decimate the family and decided to take the only child found as her own. And so Sadia's twin was reborn a vampire, neither of them ever to know of one another. And so Sonja, the "slayer of vampire slayers" was born.

"Why haven't you ever hated us? Hated me?" she asked puzzled even more.

"No." I replied. "Your wrong I did hate you. I despised you. All of you. I was so angry that you all were alive while my people were dying and more than that, you were the ones killing them."

"I don't understand." she said after a moment of silence.

"And I don't expect you to or to ever understand it. I was so wound up, so tightly spun, so vengeful, so spiteful. And all those emotions just erupted one day and turned into a giant killing spree of you all. After it was over I realized what I had done and for the first time in a long time I was regretful. For the first time in a long time, I cried."

The woman still looked on confused but with a strange understanding slowly creeping into those murky depths. I continued,

"I realized then that what I was, what I had become was no better than what I had struggled against for so long. I had become the enemy my own personal tormentor. I saw that, that, creature wasn't me. So I let it go." I paused here to think.

"You asked me once long ago, Sonja, what the reason to go on was? I didn't know then and I still don't know, but I do know the way to go on. Let go."

Her face finally clear of all confusion slowly morphed into something of a semblance of a smile, and with that she turned around and walked away.

'How incredibly anti-climactic.' Sadia thought confusedly. 'Oh well it probably saved me a few broken ribs.' She finally decided. She shook her head at the thoughts and began to patrol again picking up from the area where she had met up with Sonja.

Suddenly she heard an awful scraping noise, caused by a crypt door being slammed open, the keeper obviously not expecting the slayer to be standing outside. Or so she thought…….
