True Potential

Chapter two

Natasha lay on her bed, her raven hair tied in a knot on the top of her head, swinging her feet in time to the music that was blasting out from her CD player. She was reading the book that Giles man had given her. It was interesting, but some stuff was slightly weird. And she still didn't understand why he'd given her the book. But as she was reading it, she came across something that got her attention. It was a passage of writing that suddenly made Natasha wonder, if this passage could be the reason why Natasha had the book.

She read aloud what she saw, "Into each generation a slayer is born, one girl in all the world, a chosen one, one born with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil."

She read it again, and then it hit her.

"Oh my god! Am I the slayer?"

Giles had given her a phone number, and told her to call it when she was ready to listen to what he had to say. She picked the phone up off the charger next to her and dialled the number. The phone rang for a while before somebody picked up.

"Hello?" A voice said, it sounded like Giles.

"Hi, um, Mr Giles?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"It's Natasha; we met today, in the car park."

"Ah Natasha, I'm glad you rang so soon. Have you read the book?"

"Yes, I have to ask you something."

"Go on."

"Am I that thing, the um, slayer?"

"No, there is already a slayer. And I am her watcher. I suppose you have read about the watchers?"

"Yeah, so if there's already a slayer, why did you come to see me?"

"You are what is called a potential slayer."

"A potential slayer?" Natasha suddenly realised what it meant, "You mean like I could be a slayer?"

"If Buffy was to die, yes, you would be considered as the next slayer."

"Buffy?"

"She is the slayer."

"Cool. But Mr Giles sir, I still don't get why you need to tell me all this."

"That, you will learn in time. Now, I need to see you again, to take you to Sunnydale."

"What? Take me to Sunnydale?"

"The hellmouth. Do you know what that is?"

"I read something about it, yeah."

"You need to be there, with Buffy and the other potential slayers."

"Where is this Sunnydale?"

"It's in California."

"Oh my god, so I'd be like, going to the OC? Awesome!"

"Yes, but in that television show, there is no hellmouth or vampires."

"Well you had to go and ruin that one!"
