Author's note: Just the prologue for now, I'll post chapter one in a few days.
A/N 2: Also, Dawn is a few years older. When she would've been 12 in the Summer of 1998, she was 14, almost 15, instead.

"I-I have to go"
"No, you can't! I need you"
"Things have changed. You wouldn't understand them..."
"Please. You have to stay. I need you here"
"No. They'll kill you, too"
"Who?"
"You wouldn't understand. But you have to trust me, OK?"
"I do trust you, but I don't want to loose you"

"Promise?"
"I promise"
"I love you, Faith"
"Love you too, Dawnie. For ever and ever, right?"
"For ever and ever"
