I can't take things to the council, can't wait wait for the bureaucracy to slowly church to life and examine what's happening. I have to act.
I finally agree with Buffy for giving up on us. We're a mess. We can't even take care of our own ranks, much less anyone else. I judged her because I could only see my side of it.
It's different when you're the one with the power. The choices are so much harder and so much more important. What would Buffy do? She'd charge in and figure this all out with fists and sheer force of will. If people didn't believe in her, she would make them. And she wouldn't stop until she beat back anyone who threatened the ones she loved.
Buffy isn't here right now. But I am. I'm the last Slayer.
Watchers had it wrong all along. They thought Slayers needed to be told what to do. To be kept out of trouble. But trouble is exactly where we belong. I reach out for that pool of anger. The channel of fury that ends in me. It's a destructive force, but it's also a powerful tool. I'll use it to get to the bottom of this. To save the people I love.
I think of the Slayer who sacrificed herself for her village.
My grandmother, who died but saved her baby.
Buffy, who died to save the world -- twice! -- and was so stubborn she came back to save it yet again. I don't think she was selfish or impulsive. I think she was doing the best she could in the middle of complete and utter chaos. Watchers try to control, try to predict. But in the end, we Slayers have to learn that all you can do is react and hope you win.
I've been racked with turmoil this whole time about what it means to be a Slayer. But one thing is clear to me now, without question -- I want this. I can do this. I'm proud of what I am.
And I'm ready.

J'ai bien aimé ce tome, bien que je trouve que certaines choses ne concordent pas avec l'univers original de "Buffy contre les vampires", donc la lecture est parfois perturbante.

Résumé
Into every generation a Slayer is born…
Nina and her twin sister, Artemis, are far from normal. It’s hard to be when you grow up at the Watcher’s Academy, which is a bit different from your average boarding school. Here teens are trained as guides for Slayers—girls gifted with supernatural strength to fight the forces of darkness. But while Nina’s mother is a prominent member of the Watcher’s Council, Nina has never embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Instead she follows her instincts to heal, carving out a place for herself as the school medic.
Until the day Nina’s life changes forever.
Thanks to Buffy, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting, Nina is not only the newest Chosen One—she’s the last Slayer, ever. Period.
As Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training, Leo, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting ring, a demon who eats happiness, a shadowy figure that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams…
But it’s not until bodies start turning up that Nina’s new powers will truly be tested—because someone she loves might be next.
One thing is clear: Being Chosen is easy. Making choices is hard.
