❛ uh—— ❜ stance steadied, hands found their way to hips, she wasn’t offended, but certainly ready to prove a point. ❛ ——i am special. the chosen one, you know — unto every generation and blah blah—— ❜ one hand abandoned its perch at her hip to press against her chest. ❛ ——that’s me, i’m this generation’s slayer. so yeah, special. ❜ never mind that the whole chosen one had gotten a little bit muddy when she died that… those times. but that’s really not the point.
hand remained at her chest, but now her expression morphed into something of mock delight. ❛ i’m your first ? wow, how touching, that’s a big step, i wasn’t sure i’d be ready for it but—— ❜ the false excitement was cut off on an edge of sarcasm, and both arms moved in unison now to cross over her chest.
❛ look, all i know is that you’re probably going to cause less trouble if i’m there — right ?❜ she didn’t give him time enough to answer before she was slinging the crossbow on her back and walking ahead. ❛ right, so let’s go. what’s the worst that can happen ?❜ famous last words, a voice in the back of her head reminded, but she was hell bent ( pun intended ) on ignoring it.
❛ yes, the chosen one. ❜ he rolled his eyes as he spoke the words. ❛ once every generation to kill – what was it again? supernatural creatures that go bump in the night? oh, that must be fun. ❜ the idea that someone was created to deal with these threats were interesting, but he wasn’t going to dig more into the situation about slayer than necessary.
❛ you see, if i cause less trouble, two old men; a red and black one won’t try to drag me back. if they see you, they’ll get more angry – so try to at least keep me under control. ❜ or not. the specifics didn’t matter to him on what she did. just as long as she managed to observe, keep him from doing something stupid, and what have you.
❛ or would you rather try to stab me again? i mean, true, i did find it kinky, but unfortunately for you? ❜ he smirked ❛ maybe give it a few years – you may become my type. ❜ or not. it didn’t really matter to him in all reality. ❛ or does being a slayer mean you can’t have a boyfriend? ❜
