Potential
It was a bright sunny day as I pulled up outside the high school, my windows were blackened with paint, a necessity, considering my reaction to sunlight. I wind down the window, and look out, careful to stay out of any direct rays of sunshine. Getting turned to dust so soon after finding her would really not do at all.
She is beautiful, a goddess, a slayer
Her entire being called to me. I had to follow. I had to keep her safe.
As I watch a plump, middle aged man walks up to her and starts to talk to her. I watch as so many emotions flicker across her face, first surprise, then suspicion… finally confusion as she takes the lollypop from her mouth, screws her brows up in confusion and announces a soft "Huh?"
She has her work cut out for her this slayer, so much smaller then the others. She is young and untrained. But she has fire and spirit, and a will that even the devil would find hard to break. She is the essence of everything that is good and pure.
I sigh softly and watch as she gets up and follows her watcher. I wind the window back up, put the car in gear and pull away from the curb. I have a long way to go, it’s not going to be easy. But I’m determined to help her, to make her fight against the darkness just that little bit easier.
To make her life just that little bit more normal.
