Why can't you people just leave me alone?
Because you are the Slayer.
Into every generation, a Slayer is born.
One girl in all the world.
She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness.
She is the Slayer.
A Slayer slays a Watcher-
Watches?
My life happens to on occasion suck beyond the telling of it.
He trains her. He, he, he prepares her.
Prepares me for what?
For getting kicked out of school?
You're expelled.
For losing all of my friends?
Sometimes more than I can handle.
For having to spend all of my time fighting for my life
and never getting to tell anyone because I might endanger them?
Don't.
Go ahead.
Prepare me.
Tomorrow night, Buffy will face the Master, and she will die.
Giles, I'm 16 years old.
I don't want to die.
Whenever there was a problem, you seem to show up and stop it.
She could have killed me.
No, she couldn't.
Never.
Buffy Summers,
Class Protector.
I hate that there's evil that I was chosen to fight it.
I sacrificed Angel to save the world.
I loved him so much.
But I knew...
Close your eyes.
I was right.
I don't have that anymore.
I would have given up everything I had to be with him.
A vampire in love with the Slayer.
It's rather poetic.
I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life.
And I put a sword through his heart because I had to.
Its the fate of the world often lies with the Slayer.
You talk about slaying like it's a job.
It's not.
It's who you are.
Let me tell you something.
When it's dark and I'm all alone
and I'm scared or freaked out or whatever.
I always think, what would Buffy do?
She's a hero, you see.
You're my hero.
She's not like us.
You've carried the weight of the world on your shoulders since high school.
How'd you do that?
And I know you didn't ask for this.
It's what I do.
You do it every day.
You're just a girl.
That's what I keep saying.
I've been through more battles with Buffy than you all can ever imagine.
She stopped everything that's ever come up against her.
She's laid down her life, literally, to protect the people around her.
I've seen your kindness and your strength.
I've seen the best and the worst of you.
And I understand exactly what you are.
This girl has died two times, and she's still standing.
I should have known that wouldn't stop you.
You're...
A miracle.
Yes,
but then I always thought so.
I'm so proud of you.
You've come so far.
I need to know more
about where I come from.
About the other Slayers.
I'm beyond tired.
I'm beyond scared.
I'm standing on the mouth of Hell and it is going to swallow me whole.
And it'll choke on me.
Death is your art.
You make it with your hands, day after day.
Every Slayer...
has a death wish.
Even you.
She has saved your lives again and again.
She has died for you.
Something made us different we're warriors. We were built to kill.
To kill demons.
But it does not mean that we get to pass judgment on people, like we're better than everybody else-
We are better.
You think we have not seen this before?
The part where you just cut us all out.
I've always cut myself off.
Step away from everything human and act like you're the law.
I'm starting to feel like being the Slayer
is turning me into stone.
Being the Slayer made me different.
In the end, the Slayer is always cut off.
There's no mystical guidebook. No.
All knowing council.
Human rules don't apply.
To slay, to kill.
It means being hard on the inside.
Well, it stops now!
No , it doesn't stop.
It never stops!
There's only me.
I'm going to kill them.
I am law.
Maybe being the perfect Slayer means
being too hard to love at all.
Do you think I chose to be like this?
Do you have any idea how lonely it is?
How dangerous?
We both know that there are real monsters.
There's also a real heroes that fight monsters.
And that's me.
But I have to save the world.
And I'm telling you right now, she cares more about your lives
than you will ever know.
I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about.
No weapons,
no friends,
no hope.
Take all that away.
And what's left?
Me.
They don't know.
They haven't been through what I've been through.
They're not the Slayer.
I am.
Power.
I have it.
They don't.
I have a mission.
This bothers them.
To win this war,
to save the world.
It's about power.
Make your choice.
Are you ready to be strong?
There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil.
And that's us.
Does it ever get easy?
What do you want me to say?
Lie to me?
Yes. It's terribly simple.
The good guys are always stalwart and true
the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats,
and we always defeat them and save the day.
No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.
