Chapter 1
I woke up late the next day, it was almost noon, and anxious to meet my friends later that night I was restless most of the day. I was not able to sit still for a very long time. I tried to watch some television, but found the daytime talk shows to uninteresting for me to actually get myself involved. I tried reading a book, however that demanded my full attention, something I was definitely not able to give. Finally I just decided I would go for a walk, and maybe window-shopping.
Late in the afternoon, I returned to my house to get ready for meeting my friends. I took a shower and dressed in a couple of black imitation leather pants and a violet top. I pulled my hair up in a high ponytail, letting a few strands of hair fall around my face. I finished by putting on some makeup to match my clothes, and found that it still was not completely dark. I decided to wait just ten more minutes before I left. I lit a cigarette feeling just a little nervous not knowing what was in store for me. On my way to the park I enjoyed the cool air on my skin. It had been an unbelievably hot day, so it was liberating feeling the cool breeze of the night. The cicadas were playing their endless tune as I walked.
It was not a long walk, and I soon found myself at the entrance to the park. I had the note I had received the day before in my hand, and I read it over once again before I started the short walk to the playground. I reached the place of the meeting only a few minutes later, however, there was no one there. I sat down on one of the swings and waited. I had waited about ten minutes and suddenly I heard a sound from the trees behind me. I turned around and saw a dark figure standing a few feet behind the trees. I didn’t look like anyone I knew. I had a bad feeling about it.
“ Who’s there?” I asked, trying my best to not sound like I was about to panic.
The dark figure moved towards me. As he neared me, I had by now concluded that it was a man, he said,
“ Angelique, don’t be afraid. I mean you no harm.”
He knew my name. By now I was really scared.
“ How do you know my name?” I asked, not really wanting to know. All I wanted to do was get the hell out of there, but for some reason I could not move.
“ As I wrote in the note, I’ve been following you for some time now.” He said.
I could see him now. He was pretty young, maybe in his late twenties, early thirties. He had long dark hair and big dark eyebrows. He was quite handsome actually. Had he not been somewhat creepy, I might have been attracted to him.
“ You wrote the note?” I asked, “ Why? What do you want from me?”
“ Please,” he said, “ sit down with me over here.” He motioned for some benches across from the playground.
I put my hand in my pocked, where I had my pepper spray and then followed him to the benches. We sat down and I waited for him to start telling me what this was all about. He sat for a while and looked like he was trying to figure out the best way to tell me, whatever it was he had to tell me.
“ What I have to tell you will not be easy.” He said, looking me straight in the eyes.
I noticed his eyes where green. “ This is very complicated, and it might hard for you to accept.”
“ Please get to the point!” I said, “ I have better things to do, than sit here with some creepy stranger, who wants to tell my something!” I was getting impatient.
“ Alright…you bear the mark of the Slayer.” He said, waiting for a reaction from me.
“ What? What mark? And what the hell is a slayer?” I asked getting seriously confused.
“ You have a birthmark on your left shoulder right?” he asked.
“ Yes…so?”
“ That is the mark of the slayer. All the slayers of the past had the exact same mark on their left shoulder.” He told me.
“ Right! Ok…but what’s a slayer?” I asked. By now he had my full attention, I could not wait to hear what he said next.
“ A slayer, is a person with extraordinary strength who battles evil.” He said, looking completely serious.
I could not help but laugh,
“ So what…you’re telling me I’m some kind of Wonder Woman who goes after the bad guys?”
He smiled a little and then he said,
“ Yes and no. You will not be fighting what you might think of as bad guys.” He said, “ The evil you have been chosen to fight is…supernatural.”
I could not believe it, as he was saying this, he was looking absolutely serious, like he actually believed what he was telling me.
“ Yeah. Ok, I think it’s time for you to go back to the institution, and then I’m just going to go celebrate my birthday with my friends!” I said and motioned to leave, but as soon as I started leaving, he grabbed my arm and said,
“ Let me at least try to prove to you that I’m telling the truth!”
I thought about it for a while and then said,
“ Fine, so what are you going to do? Pull a little werewolf out of your back pocket?”
I had barely finished the sentence before I saw a blade being thrown at me. Without even thinking about it, I lifted both my hands and caught the knife just inches before it hit my face.
“ Jesus Christ!” I yelled, “ What kind of freak are you?”
He just looked at me calmly and said,
“ If you didn’t have some powers, other people don’t have, then how was it possible for you to catch that knife?”
“ I don’t know!” I said frustrated, “ Luck, I guess!”
“ Yes…however, there have been other times, where you’ve done something that normal people wouldn’t be able to do.” He said. He was starting to get frustrated as well.
“ Yeah? Like what?” I asked.
“ Only a week ago, you saved a little boy from getting hit by a truck!” he said, “ You ran onto the road and grabbed the boy just a few feet before he would have been hit!”
He was right, that would not have been possible for a regular human being to do.
“ Ok…Fine!” I said, “ So what do I do?”
“ You have to meet me everyday at my house, to train. You will have to master Karate, kickboxing and basically every other fighting technique know to man. And you will have to study your enemies.” He said.
“ Ok, and who, or what, exactly are my enemies?” I asked.
“ Mostly vampires, some werewolves, and the occasional witch.” He said.
“ Oh…” I said, slightly dazed.
“ Look, Angelique, I know this is pretty hard to believe, but nevertheless this is your destiny.” He said. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he felt a compassion for me; he understood how I was feeling at the moment.
“ So when do we start all of this training?” I asked looking at him.
“ I suggest we get started right away!” he said, “We have a lot of work to do!”
“ Sure!” I said, I didn’t exactly know what else to say at the moment.
We stood up and started walking to the opposite side of the park, from where my house was, and as we walked I asked him,
“ So are you some kind of slayer too?”
“ No, I’m a watcher.” He said.
I laughed,
“ Yeah, I should have known, you’ve been watching me!”
“ Yes, but that’s not all I do!” He smiled, “ I’m your coach, your researcher, your assistant, you know, I help you out!”
“ Okay, I get it…you’re like my sidekick! You know, like Batman and Robin!” I said laughing slightly.
“ I guess you could call me that.” He said laughing.
“ I just realized I don’t even know your name! That doesn’t seem fair, when you know so much about me!”
“ Kevin…My name is Kevin!” He said.
“ Ok!” I said, “ Well, you can just call me Angel, nobody calls me Angelique, at least none of my friends do!”
