The return of the Slayer by J.J Blake (best classic romance novels .TXT) 📖

out Kelsie.
Tons of guys and girls were looking at the Slayer display case. Where the actual book of my legend was kept. It has more security than the pentagon. I dropped my bag behind the desk and took out my key necklace. The only thing that opens the case. “Hey everybody. Welcome to American Gothic. Home of the Slayer legend and book. I am gong to read to you part of the legend now.” I flipped open to the first summary page and began to read.

In each Generation a girl is chosen. She only will have the strength, the skill and the wisdom to face against the vampires and the dark forces.
She is the Slayer. Born at midnight. Wrapped in satin. The dark forces will not stand against her. They will run at the sight of her or go for her blood.

The legend of the slayer is told in every generation. No one knows if it’s true or not. The signs of the slayer are that she is strong. Next, she is very fast. And the last one is if you see her in action.

The slayer was raised in the beginning by vampires not knowing what she was. Back then the entire world was overrun by vampires. Not everything is good when it comes to vampires. Big or small beware these creatures of the night.

The signs of the slayer are strength, skill, speed, and wisdom.

The slayer has been around in many generations. So she should know much more than the current records.


She has many centuries in training against vampires and other dark forces. So she must beware using her strength against humans and around them.

Since she was first raised by vampires she learned speed. She can run as fast as the wind.

Thanks to quick thinking the Slayer has killed many a vampire. We owe her a lot of our lives, for she has given many of hers to save our puny little lives.

The final sign of the Slayer is the mark. In each generation of the Slayer she is given marks from her previous lives. When she earns it a new tattoo appears. The one mark that has stayed since the beginning is one mark curving around her back and up her neck. Typically the mark looks like vines.

It gave me chills as it always does when I ever read it. Reading your own history can do that to you. Everyday I have to cover my tattoos with powder. So I was almost always a little pale. “Cool. How much is this bag?” The same girl from this morning asked. “Ten dollars.” I said out of memory. The girl handed me a twenty and grabbed a t shirt too. Both with MY Slayer symbol on them. I cashed them in exactly the amount.
After a couple dozen or so buying things began to settle. I called to Kelsie that I was taking off to meet someone. I grabbed my bag. I ran all the way to Adam’s house. I was going to have dinner with Adam and his family. I crossed my fingers and silently lifted up a prayer. Please don’t let anything happen. I knocked on the front door. Adam’s mom answered it.
“Hello Echo come on in.” I was spoken to. I did. Adam greeted me with a hug. “Good to see your fine.” Adam said giving me a hidden wink. I winked back. Adam’s sister Ivy came down the stairs dressed in Slayer pants and a Slayer top. Also with a Slayer belt and jacket. “Nice look Ivy. I thought I was the only one who actually had an opinion. Stop by the shop later and I’ll hook you up with some makeup to go with that look.” I said.
She smiled, “Thanks Echo. I’m just having dinner real quick then meeting some friends to plan the Slayer float. We’re making a giant version of the Slayer symbol.” She said hinting about the parade that the city is putting on. “Cool! I can make the symbol if you want. I did make it myself.” I said then mentally slapping myself. “Never mind.” I said using my powers to erase that from her memory. I really need to work on my not-admitting-anything talk. We sat down to dinner. “So Echo… how did you get home safely last night?” Adam’s mom asked. I looked at Adam fearing the worst. “Well I’m a champion karate fighter. Also I have extreme night vision. “ I said not wanting to lie. So instead I gave the truth without completely saying that I am the Slayer. Ivy, for her unrelated study habits, looked at me. “That’s two of the Slayer signs!” She exclaimed. I laughed.
“I’m flattered that you think I’m the Slayer. You realize Ivy that everyone has some Slayer in them. I have known this because I own the Slayer legend book.” I said eating some more of the delicious dinner Adam’s mom made. “You do? Can I read it?” She asked excitedly. “Yes you can. You can incorporate some of the marks of the slayer onto the float.” I said clearing my plate. “When?” She asked. “Monday at school during lunch. Met me then outside.” I said. I pushed my chair back and looked at Adam. “Ready to go?” I asked him. He nodded and stood up slinging his bag over his shoulder. “Good night we’re going paintballing.” I told them. Once I and Adam were safely out of eye sight he slid onto my back. I ran to my tree house jumping in the window. I pulled out liquid faith again and he gulped it down. “Better?” I asked. He nodded. I jumped out of the window down to my bedroom loft. He followed me. “I need to show you something.” I said opening the door to my room. I pulled out my talk remote and told the TV to play. Adam sat down on a beanbag chair.
The same forecast started playing again. I grabbed a towel and tossed the remote on the bed. “I’m going to take a quick shower. Can you search to see how far this rumor has been going?” I asked Adam waving toward my laptop. I headed into the bathroom and closed the door. I quickly undressed and stepped into the shower. I let the hot water run over my back and down my legs. I washed my hair deep in thought. I turned off the water and wrapped my towel around me. I opened my dresser I kept in the bathroom. I pulled on clothes and dried my hair. I stepped out of the bathroom to find Adam searching the internet on my laptop. “Find anything?” I asked. “Oh yeah. They’re making a big deal out of this.” He said. I winced as I read the headline.

Slayer still unknown.
Who is the Slayer?

“Wow your right. Maybe I should stay low for a while.” I said right before Adam clicked the link to another video. I watched as I came into view. I turned away quickly. “Dang it! How are they getting these videos?” I said kicking the bed. I sat down on the edge and closed my eyes and bowed my head sadly. “How far do your powers go, Slayer?” Adam asked. My head snapped up and I glared at him. “Don’t call me that. If you do I’ll consider it an invitation.” I said. He looked sad now. “Sorry Adam. I’m messing everything up. Telling your sister that I made the symbol…threaten you. Everything is going wrong!” I said. I put my head in my hands. “It’s okay I understand.” He said. I snapped my head up again and gave a sigh. “No you don’t Adam. Right now I’m basically dying. My powers are draining me. It hurts.” I admitted. “Really?” Adam said worried. “Yes…once I face the new master, I will stop dying.” I told him. "What happened to the old master?" Adam asked. A hint of a smile twitched at the corner of my mouth. "Ever heard of Buffy the vampire slayer show? That was based off of me. Of course the writer was my best freind at the time so. You know." I said. I looked at the clock on my nightstand. It is almost midnight. Thirty till. "I have to get you home now. Hop on." I said. Adam got onto my back and wrapped his arms around my neck. I ran out of my tree home and out onto the streets. Big mistake. A cop car was sitting on patrol and when he saw me his sirens flashed. His headlights turned to their brights. I squinted and covered my face and Adam doing the same. I turned away from the cop car and ran in the oppisite direction of Adam's house. I hoped over a fence or two. I wasn't counting. I stopped at Adam's house. I dropped him off my back. I straightened. The bones in my back popping.
“Goodnight. I’ll see you soon.” I said leaving him without another word. A police car came close to me and I sped up. So did him. Dang. I cut through the forest. I didn’t go through to my home. That would be stupid.
My spidery sense tingled. Great, what else did I expect? I reached into my black combat boots and pulled out my stake. I flipped my hood up, so that my Slayer symbol glowed with my energy. It was like a death wish to vampires. I kept running. I skidded to a stop. The cop was close behind me and should come into my view in a second. A vampire girl stood in front of me. I quickly raced through my choices. I could either run away and not get caught by the police. Or I could do my job and kill this vampire.
Vampire. I grabbed her at least I tried to. She eluded my grasp.
I thrust my stake into her heart when she was off balance. The cop saw the whole thing. Even the part where the vampire turned to dust. “Freeze!” The cop said. I put my hands behind my back and stood still as she clamped a pair of handcuffs around my wrists.
I was so in for it.

“Tell me the truth! What are you?!” the same cop yelled at me. I am at jail.
They didn’t even give me a second look. Just through me in jail. I am forced to sit on the floor for my roommate has claimed BOTH beds. I am wearing my same Slayer jacket and jeans. My t shirt has a few holes in it.
“I’ll tell you when I get one of the beds.” I motioned toward
