AND YOU CAN�T TAKE AWAY FROM ME
WHO I AM
The truth is, I did feel different. But not in the way that I thought I would.
Being the Slayer made me special. I could do something that no one else could. I was someone who was revered, held above others. I was powerful and I could control the balance of power. And I�d like to believe that the side of good, as chessy as this sounds, has come out ahead because of me.
But even though now I�m not just one in seven billion or whatever, or even two in seven billion along with Kendra or Faith, I�m one of about a billion out of seven or so billion.
Before being a Potential was like having a recessive gene that something exterior to yourself could set off. Now there are little girls being born and they can lift their parents up by the time they�re a week old. As much as you don�t want to believe that particular story, Giles, it happened. I saw it.
So I�m not so special anymore. I�m part of a whole, a percentage, a statistic� I�m like part of the percentage of people who drink enough water everyday or eat the right balance of meat and veggies and dairy and grains and all that stuff.
But nothing can take away the fact that I�m still a Slayer, I�m still Chosen. I�m just part of a larger minority now.
