The Series Premiere of 'The Nine Lives of Chloe King' (Tue., 9PM ET on ABC Family) introduced us to a new teen heroine in the mold of Buffy or Claire Bennet.

Chloe King (Skyler Samuels) is just an ordinary teenage girl looking forward to celebrating her birthday with her friends and single mother, just like every other year ... until she starts developing heightened abilities and discovers she's being pursued by a mysterious figure.

She soon learns she's part of an ancient, super-powered race of cat people, called The Mai, who have been hunted by human assassins for millennia -- and that she may be their only hope for ultimate survival.

We saw our plucky heroine get pushed to her death from the top of a very high tower. But then, as horrified bystanders stand over her bleeding corpse, and the bad guy races down the twisting staircase to the ground, Chloe suddenly opens her eyes.

With the premiere of 'The Nine Lives of Chloe King' tomorrow night, ABC Family is finally getting in on the supernatural action that's so popular among teen-centric television, literature and movies these days.

The series follows a San Francisco teen who finds out she's the key to protecting an ancient, super-powered race from evil assassins. Sounds far out, but it's actually very relatable -- especially the performance from star Skyler Samuels.

In AOL TV's exclusive sneak peek below, watch Chloe have a normal conversation with her BFF -- if your idea of normal banter is "I think I died today," that is.
