Is it something that is returnable?

Not really? It's something that should have never come my way to begin with though.

Then you must make the best of it. Embrace it, since you can't lose it.

Well I'm not sure how to. This is different than puberty or a big funky sweater from an aunt I barely know.
.
If I embrace it...it could change who I am

It doesn't have to. It's all a balancing act.

Then I guess I need to work on that.

You should do fine.

If I can ask, what do you have?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how much I can feel comfortable saying. But...let's just say suddenly I have a responsibility that was never really meant to be mine. It's either that or someone screwed up.

I don't think it was a mistake.

Whatever this is, you realize that you might not be ready. You want to keep yourself.

If it ever becomes too much, ask for advice. Listen to what others tell you.

Again, I think you should do fine.

Well I guess it isn't a huge mistake if it was one. I was in a way given a say in the matter. Even if I had no idea what was being asked of me.

It wo--It isn't too much. I know I'm much better off than others were.

I will. I think someday I'll need the advice.

If you ever need to talk with me, I am available.

You are able to handle this, and you are able to take this responsibility that you aren't certain about, and make it into something that is a part of you,

It won't always be fun, and you may want to give up at times- but it will be yours. When you look back, you may see that it was worth it.

Thanks, I'm Rachel.

Well because of what it is? It'll be apart of me forever.

I can see no other alternative but to keep moving forward. Maybe one day I can look back at this and be 'ok' with it.

I am Addie. It is a pleasure to meet you, Rachel.

If this is going to be part of you forever, you have nothing but time to be 'ok' with it.

It's nice meeting you as well. :D

It's an until death does us part kind of deal without marriage or another person being involved. Just the...Thing.

I thought as much.

You can share it with me, if you would like. I will not tell if you wish it to be a secret.

...I guess I can trust you? I mean it isn't something bad.

I'm a Slayer.

You aren't the only one, correct?

I will not betray you, Rachel.

Not anymore. There was some kind of spell. I'm waiting for them to find me. If it takes too long I might have to go find them.

Thanks Addie. I really appreciate it.

Make sure to keep yourself, no matter what happens. Enough Slayers exist that you shouldn't have to give up who you are.

And no need to thank me. Thank you, for talking to me.

I won't have to. But there's a reason I need to be an active Slayer that I'd rather not explain right now.

Oh, you don't need to explain it.

Let me know if I can help you with anything.

I will.
