Author: I FINALLY got inspiration for this... thank gods... i was starting to hate it... but now i'm all better!


I stared at the girl, trying to hide the shock in my eyes. "What… do you mean?"

Morgana laughed, and it sounded like bells. "You should see your face. It's priceless." She looked back at her companion and they shared a look, smiling. "Don't worry, we aren't going to turn you into the nut house or anything. In fact…" she stood up, smoothing out her jeans. Damian stood as well. "If you follow us, we'll explain everything to you."

Something in my brain clicked. "Uh-uh. You may have thrown me, but you didn't make me stupid. I'm not going to follow you into some dark alley."

She grinned. "oh come on. You could probably beat me up with your eyes closed. I promise we mean you no harm. It's just that it's loud in here, and it's kind of a strange subject. It would be nicer if we could talk in private. Don't you want some answers? I could give them to you."

Could this… chick have more information about who I was, what I was, than I did? It was enough to peek my interest. She was right too, she probably didn't pose much of a threat to me. I decided to follow them, but be on high alert the whole time.

They started walking down the stairs. I walked a little behind them, keeping them in my sights at all time. Morgana went to a door leading to the back alley. I stepped out after them, waiting until I made sure there was no one waiting for us before I closed the door.

"So… What's this about?" I asked, crossing my arms and leaning against the door.

"You are a slayer." Morgana started "This means you have certain abilities that make it easier for you to kill vampires. You do this because they kill humans, and reek general havoc on the public."

"Tell me something I don't know." I scoff.

Morgana glares at me before she continues "Usually slayers are trained by people called watchers. These people know the history of the slayers, as well as general knowledge on other various baddies that you will encounter. They also are well versed in various types of hand-to-hand as well as weapon combat."

"Wait… so I don't just kill vampires?"

"No." Damian explained "There are also many other creatures that hurt humans; demons, evil witches, malevolent spirits, that sort of thing. You are the defender of humanity. You protect them from everything non-human."

Morgana cleared her throat. "May I continue?"

I nodded.

"Now, as of late there are more and more slayers coming into their power. This is because not long ago, the slayers faced a powerful enemy. They needed more soldiers. A witch and friend to the slayer called power and made it so every girl that would become a slayer became a slayer. This boom in the number of slayers means that they need more watchers. This also means that many slayers are going untrained. It was a good idea, and a necessity to beat the Big Bad, but now that the fight is over it's a big problem."

"How do you know all this?" I ask.

She smiled "My older brother is training to become a watcher. I found his journal."

"Oh." I thought for a second. "So how are you supposed to help me? It's not like you can take me to find a watcher."

"You are a special case. When they did the spell, they hadn't thought of a possibility that maybe some of the slayers would be vampires. I think this was kind of stupid because slayers usually have an aura that attracts darkness to them. This makes it easier to find those who they are meant to kill. It's also how I found you."

That confused me "But you aren't vampires…"

She laughed "No, but I'm a witch. I cast a spell to find you by tracking you aura as soon as I heard about you. You really should be more careful about your secret."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm friends with Shane. He told me about you and I figured it out from there. I've been waiting for someone like you to show up. Oh and don't worry. I tweaked Shane's memory so he wouldn't tell anyone else about your predicament."

"Wait… you messed with Shane's mind?"

"Just enough so he wouldn't let on about what you were. I didn't want the information to fall into the wrong hands."

"And who exactly would have the wrong hands? The Baddies, or the Slayers? I'm not exactly sure which side I'm on."

Damien spoke for the first time in a while "I'm sure. You haven't hurt any innocents and you have only killed vampires. You aren't on their side."

"For now anyway. What if my dark side takes control?"

"That's why we're here." Morgana pushed off from the wall and came to stand in front of me "We are going to help you. We will teach you what you need to know and make sure that you can keep your dark side in check."

"How are you going to do that? You're brother's the watcher not you!"

Morgana smiled a secretive smile "Yes, but I know where his training place is, and I know where he keeps his books. As long as we put everything back where they belong, he'll never know."

"Why are you doing this?"

She thought a second before saying, "Well, I always knew that magic existed… and when I found out about the slayers I knew in my heart that I was supposed to help in the fight against darkness."

I looked at Damian "What about you?"

"I've heard stories from Morgana about the battles. I want to help too."

I sighed "If you tag along I'm not going to be worrying about taking care of you. You'll have to defend yourself."

Damian smiled "You don't have to worry about us. We know how to fight."

"So do we have a deal? Will you let us train you?" Morgana said, holding out her hand.

I took it in my hand "Sure. Why not?"
