Title: Strained 37/100 TtH Prompt: #64 Diary Summary: Buffy completes a new entry. Strained The Diary of Buffy Summers September 2, 2003 It’s been four days, and still no sign of Angelus. I just know he’s planning something, I just don’t know what. He’s keeping a low profile though; there hasn’t been a sudden outbreak of missing persons or strange deaths. Which means he doesn’t want me to find him until he’s ready. Things are still strained between the team and me. Although Daniel has mostly gotten over the shock. He’s definitely the understanding one of the group, but he still gets a little tight-lipped around me, but it’s better than the alternative – complete avoidance. I think Vala could care less about me being the slayer, but is just hurt from me not telling her. She had confessed to me one night that I was her first real friend since she had become a host years ago. I think she understands intellectually why I didn’t tell her, but she still hurts because she believed we were closer than that. Which we are, but I just wasn’t completely prepared to tell her my biggest secret. As for Cameron… Well, he’s taken it the hardest and I’m not sure why. He, of all of them, should understand the need for secrecy. I mean, he’s military working in a top-secret facility. He knows that there are some lines you don’t cross. But he keeps brooding and now only refers to me as Summers. The frustrating thing is, I wanted to tell them. We had grown close and I trusted them. But how was I suppose to work being a slayer into a conversation? It’s not like we go around discussing vampires and girls with super powers all the time. Who does that? Ok, me and the Scoobies do, but that’s completely different. I had just been slowing exposing my abilities to them so they wouldn’t be too shocked when I finally told them. Too bad fate couldn’t wait two more weeks. Damn Angelus! This is all his fault… Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
