Dawn, The Key - Part 1 of 1
We are in a well kept house, we see a middle aged man sitting in a chair with two children at his feet. We recognise the man as Quinton Everett III. The children sitting at his feet are James and Juliet, his nephew and niece.
"Now where shall we start hmm?" he asked the kids.
"The beginning, Uncle Quinn." James answered and his sister nodded.
"The beginning? No that'll take too long if I started there then we will be here forever and a day. I think I'll start at a place where we all know what came before."
"It was the year 2001. The vampire slayer, Buffy Summers had sacrificed her own life to save her sister and the world. She was buried for only a month or so before Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay, used magic to bring her back."
"Why'd they do that Uncle?" Juliet asked.
"Well they felt that the world would be a much better place with her in it, and I personally would have to agree." Quinn replied.
"You would." James said with a smirk. Quinn frowned at the youngster.
"Ok back to the story, The Slayer is a pivotal player in the forthcoming apocalypse so she needed to live but obviously she couldn't if she was dead but anyway, She faced many hardships and problems but her main goal for next 20 years was to protect The Key and to make sure that the Knights of Byzantium didn't destroy it."
"The Key had made into her sister Dawn by the original Guardians of the Key, but the demon god Glory destroyed them, but in 2007 the order was reformed and they
entered into an agreement with the Witches Magical Directorship and the Watchers Council under the leadership of Rupert Giles and Buffy, that agreement would allow Dawn to live a normal life along with all those who knew her secret."
"What about the slayers friends?" Juliet asked.
"Willow and Tara got married in 2011 and their friendship with Dawn and Buffy was enough to help see them through several potentially apocalyptic disasters. The power of their friendship was added to by the friendship of Xander and Anya."
"Xander and Anya had gotten married a year before Willow and Tara, they still have their problems but they work through them. Anya being an ex-demon is still working through becoming human, I think she might just get through it before she dies."
"And what about Buffy Uncle?" asked James.
"Buffy, yes well she fell in love with the prince of her dreams and got married in 2013, she now splits her time between England and the Watchers Council and Sunnydale and her friends. She still slays vampires and demons and other creatures that inhabit the night."
"The Key?" Juliet prompted.
"The Key yes well, Dawn's powers grew as she got older. She sought out guidance to harness them in 2006 when she nearly destroyed a building. She remembered a
meeting she had had in which she meet the perfect person to become her mentor. Using a card he had given Buffy, Dawn contacted him and he agreed to help her."
"And her husband, Uncle, when did she meet him?" Juliet asked.
"I do wish you wouldn't rush me." Quinn replied before continuing "Dawn meet her husband, Jason, in 2008 while she and her mentor were travelling to Tibet on a quest. Their love blossomed and it became apparent to all three that Dawn and Jason were meant to be together, so in 2012 they were married two years later she had twins one female and one male."
"And her powers?" James asked with a gleam in his eye.
"They have continued to grow to this day neither her nor her mentor know when or where they will stop."
"Do her kids have any powers?" asked Juliet.
"We don't know but if they do then they won't show until the hit fourteen years of age."
A voice comes from the next room "Jason, Juliet it's bed time."
"We'll finish this story another time kids, you better do what you're mother says." Quinn tells the two children.
As the kids get up a brunette haired woman enters the room, she appears to be in her mid thirties with hair down to the middle of her back.
"Quinn are you telling my kids scary stories again." she asks
"No, Dawn, I am not." Quinn replies.
