Re: Slayers going shopping
Juliet looked at Faith, realisation dawning on her face. "You're that Faith!" she said, eyes wide with surprise, and a little awe. "Rhiannon told me about you, and the earlier ones, and, well the others after." She grinned and nodded. "Yeah, seems things changed somewhere and there's Nine, or at least that's what the Council finally admitted. They told each girl there was only one, though, until things started to come apart when they found out hunters were taking out those of us who didn't know anything." She gave Faith a wry smile. "I didn't find out till I was almost seventeen. Rhiannon found me just before this demon chick got a hold of me." She couldn't stop the shiver that ran down her spine every time the though of Elfleda came to her mind and she threw a quick look over her shoulder, half expecting to see the smoky black Bride of Leviathan standing behind her, beckoning her back into her clutches.
"So yeah, Nine, or at least that's all the Council have admitted to. Who knows? Could be nine hundred. Not like anyone's checking a census or we have some sort of detector that goes off," she added, glancing across at Faith again. "Well, except the whole 'spidey senses' thing?"
