“A…what?” I asked.
“A vampire slayer.” Giles replied and gestured to Buffy, “Like Buffy. It’s a long story, but there used to be only one or two slayers, and now there are thousands. We’re taking in the ones with the most potential and power and training them.”
“Haha, very funny. Joke’s over now, ok? This isn’t funny!” I yelled at him.
“This isn’t funny because this isn’t a joke!” Buffy yelled at me.
“Well it can’t be true! This can’t be real!” I exclaimed.
“Well, it is. Get over it.” Buffy said bitterly. “Now either you can believe us and let us keep you safe, or you can go out and get yourself killed. It’s your choice.”
I sighed and looked at them. “Fine, I’ll stay for a bit. But the moment this gets too crazy for me I’m leaving.”
“Alright,” Giles said and glanced at Buffy. “I’ll go introduce her to the other girls.”
He led me upstairs and into a bedroom. Four girls were asleep on the floor in sleeping bags. He turned on the light, and they all slowly awoke. The youngest looking one looked up at me and asked, “A new girl? She looks younger than me, Giles.”
“Well, yes, I suppose. Wait, how old are you?” He asked me.
“I just turned 15. Is that too young?” I asked worriedly.
“No, not at all. You’re just going to be the youngest one here.” He gestured to the other girls. “Kris, I’d like you to meet Amanda, she’s 16, Leanne and Phoebe are twins and are-obviously- both 18, and Diane is about to turn 20.”
“Hi,” I said sheepishly to them, “I’m Kris. Nice to meet you.”
“Hi,” Amanda, Leanne, and Diane said.
They all stood up and walked over to me and, while everyone else was preoccupied with making room for me to sleep, Diane whispered to me, “Phoebe doesn’t talk, and we think she might be deaf. It’s creepy, like something out of an Ambrose Bierce story. Leanne won’t tell us anything about it.”
I looked at Diane and she seemed to be telling the truth. It still bothered me though. Why would anyone talk about someone like that, even if it is true? I thought. When they found room for me to sleep, I curled up into a green sleeping bag and drifted off to sleep.
a/n: Sorry if this chapter was dull, I'm almost done with the next one and it's more interesting.
