2008!!!
January;;So here I am now in the New Year, in a new town with almost nothing but this apartment, the few things I’ve brought with me and my new journal for 2008. I have always had journals but I lost my old one back in L.A and the others are back at home. It’s hard to believe this time last year I was cruising the town with my girls, I miss them so much but I guess I’ve changed and grown up a lot in the past year! I’m so board at the moment, I have nothing to do but write in here, I would go out but who wants to go out alone? I know no one in this town which doesn’t help when I didn’t want to come here in the first place! Hopefully daddy’s check will clear soon and ill be able to buy a T.V to keep me entertained and some better furniture. This town doesn’t seem too bad so far and the watchers council is huge! I can’t wait to find out what demons are crawling around, I should really go and get changed darkness will be falling soon!
February;;Well the apartment is finally sorted out and it now feels like a home instead of a local dumping ground. Well so far it looks like I’m not doing to bad with this whole journal thing I guess I shall fill it out every month I’m not going to be one of those weirdoes that fill it out every day with every single detail of what they did in it, seriously I bet some people even write about when they took a piss. It was my birthday this month, 21… I’m getting so old but at least I can drink legally now! It was pretty lonely with me still finding my way around the town and not knowing a lot of people. So far I’ve met a few people in town and seem to be fitting in ok; I’ve been spending a lot of time at the watchers council, I’ve met the famous Scooby gang and have even been on a few patrols with Buffy herself! So far things are going good for me in this town and hopefully it will stay that way!
March;;I’ve been trying to keep my apartment tidy, it’s like I turned into a neat freak over night! Back at home I was never tidy, probably because I had my mother running around cleaning up after me but I just can’t seem to stand seeing something out of place. I’ve been out a lot too with some of the girls from training, one girl Jodi is really nice she’s shown me all the hot spots for vampires as well as the best places to go for a drink, she hasn’t been in town long either so its been good having someone who feels just as lost as me to talk to. My cousin Danny rang me today too which was a shock as she hadn’t bothered to get in touch since I left home apparently she’s getting married to some guy she’s been dating for a couple of months, that girl don’t half move fast! On the slayer side of life it’s been pretty quiet but to be honest I’ve done more parting than patrolling this month.
April;; So this month I’ve been spending a little too much time in training, Jodi introduced me to a slayer that’s new in town and I really don’t like her, she’s called Kerry she’s 19 and cock as hell. She thinks she’s all big and strong because she’s managed to survive fighting vampires for so long and she doesn’t think she needs the help from Buffy or anyone else at the council. Now she’s in misery I don’t think she’s going to last much longer fighting whatever comes to her out there. So lately when I’ve been hitting that punching bag I’ve been imagining its Kerry’s face, it’s been taking away a lot of the stress I’ve been having because she makes me so angry. Its like she has been everywhere I have been this month, maybe she has been stalking me, I wouldn’t put it past her at all she seems a bit crazy! Anyway I have a few job interviews at diners and bars lined up, I think its about time I stopped relying so much on my dads money and brake the umbilical cord; wish me look!
May;; I did it, I got a job and then I lost it! It really wasn’t my fault though; the boss was a right sleazy pervert. He grabs my ass and expects me not to react? The idiot he was about 30 years older than me! It’s his own fault he got a knee in the groin not mine. Anyway at least he can’t press charges or anything; well I don’t think he can after all it was his own fault. I came across Kerry again and she wound me up so much, I was walking up to meet Buffy and Jodi for some good old patrolling when she came from behind a tree and started giving me snide remarks about ass kissing or something or other. Buffy seems to think she’s got some issues and a close eye needs to be kept on her, I think she should be shipped off anywhere but here.
June;; Finally I’ve started dating again! Its about bloody time too if you ask me, I met this guy called Mark whilst grabbing a hot chocolate in Starbucks; stupid me bumped into him and spilt his hot coffee all over him but he didn’t seem to mind, we went out for dinner last week and yes he stayed the night after but hey I’m a girl with needs. He has no idea about the supernatural world though so that is going to be one hell of a hard and big secret to keep, especially when I cant go out too late some nights because I have a duty to protect Misery from vampires. How do you explain that one? “I’m sorry honey I cant stay over tonight I have to go kill vampires” speaking of vampires I was out patrolling the a few nights ago with Buffy and we killed this huge demon, he was so powerful and only seemed to loose his power when he lost his sword, so we took the sword to willow who seems to think it contains a lot of dark power which is sent out to its user. Now that’s something I’d like to take out on patrol with me!
July;;well dating mark ended as fast as it started, things where all going well until I asked him to grab a pair of shoes for me from my closet. Big mistake!!! He found a few of my weapons and after an argument left thinking that I was crazy. I’ve seen him around town a few times and he’s run off in the other direction I guess slaying means you can’t have a normal love life. Ill probably end up alone with a few cats when I’m old. Well that’s if I make it to old age, most slayers die young in battle. Jodi thinks I’m thinking too much about the future and should live for the now, but I’m one of those people that wants to know what ill be up too in twenty or so years.
August;; This month has to have been the hottest of the year I’m absolutely boiling whilst I’m sat writing this, the air con is on but I think I’m going to have to get the maintenance man to come out and have a look at it. My head feels like its pounding and I’m a bit bruised not from vampires or demons though; from our local psychopathic slayer, guess who? That’s right Kerry. Things got a little bit out of hand in the watchers council entrance when she started going on at me about what I was wearing and well I decided to say something back, long story cut short Xander walked in on us attempting to beat each other to a pulp. Anyways after some harsh words from him he took us up to see and Kerry spat in her face and stormed out. It wasn’t funny but I had to laugh at the time. Looks like the council has a rouge slayer to deal with.
September;;So I’m in England, maybe I should ring my mum and tell her I’m so close to home but that would probably end in her wanting me to visit and a long line of questions asking what I’ve been up too and why I don’t call much. Ok well I’m in England with Jodi because that’s where Buffy seems to think Kerry is. A witch was found dead close to the council and the evidence points to Kerry and since she did a runner not long after it’s impossible to think that anyone else did it. Buffy seems to think that me and Jodi will be able to get her to come back to misery or drag her. I can see it ending badly considering how much me and Kerry don’t like each other but that’s why Jodi’s here, to stop us from doing anything too stupid like killing each other. Well I’m supposed to be trying to track her down so… I guess ill write more next month
October;;Still in England still haven’t found Kerry but we think where getting close, there’s been reports on the news of a woman mugging people just outside of Liverpool and the description fits. So were travelling up north tomorrow to follow up the leads. I don’t like all of this investigating business, its too boring for me but Jodi seems to be enjoying it, she’s into the research side of it, it’s hard to believe she can party hard too. And that’s what we are planning to do as soon as we get back to misery go out and get so drunk we cant remember any of this, its been hard the past couple of months with quite a few arguments between us. It’s a test of friendship I guess but its all on the up cause although we’ve been arguing like hell we always work things out.
November;; L.A was hard seeing slayers die around me, there was a lot of death in L.A and most of the time it was right in front of your eyes but none of that is was as hard as watching my best friend die, stabbed in the chest by the person you hate most. We tracked Kerry down and she refused to come back to the council so me and Jodi followed our orders and tried by force, of course a fight broke out but we thought we had her and as Jodi went to grab her, she pulled out a knife and… the bitch ran as I held Jodi, as she was dying! I don’t know where but I’m guessing she’s found somewhere to hide. Buffy wants me back in Misery, she’s actually sending Xander to come and get me fearing I might go after Kerry, wanting revenge. Well she’s right, it might be my last night here in England but I’ve not stopped looking for Kerry and if I find her, if it comes down to it, I will kill her.
December;; This month has been hard, Jodi’s funeral was a couple of weeks ago, her family collected her body and took it back to her home town, burying it where she would be close to them, whilst they where all saying goodbye I had to watch from a distance fearing one of them might stop me and start asking questions to who I was and I just couldn’t be done with that. Training has kept me busy but I’m just so worn out because I can’t sleep, I close my eyes and see her lying there motionless and don’t know how to get rid of the look of pain on her face as she died. It should have been me instead. I love being a slayer but there are so many bad points about it I wish I was normal sometimes; I’m either going to end up dead or alone.
