Chapter 1:

I didn't know that that the place I was going to see Buffy for the first

time in 4 years was going to be in a graveyard a little out side of

Sunnyhell. Oh I was planning to see her but in my own sweet time. Not

acting like dinner in distress for some to a group of stupid new

vampires with John watching my back in the tree. I mean I came here to

help her not be saved by her, don't get me wrong I miss my sister and

the Scoobies. And let's face it when you're a 15 year old runaway with

a hell god on her trail you want a person to watch your back against

the things the things that go bump in the night that go bump in the

night. But I didn't so I had to grow up fast I had to learn to defend

myself. I was always on the move and stuff until about a year ago when

I killed Gloria with my best and only partner yet John Constantine. I

met John in New York he was the most bastardly (as in stay away from

me kid) man I had ever met but my ass kicking melted his heart not to

mention my annoying stalking, it was a start of a beautiful

relationship.

Being on the road and John taught me a lot of valuable skills like…

forging papers, fraud, and pick pocketing to name a few, oh I was

taught magic YAY me!!!. I taught my self how to keep a low profile but

I did enough out there stuff that I earned my self a reputation. But I

mostly used aliases depending on the situation. After I left Sunny Dale

of Sunny Hell as I like to call it I headed out to L.A let me say it is not

as big as I once thought. Almost ran in to Angel twice in the two

months I stayed there. Since those few months I hit Phoenix then

Houston and most of the major cities after that. I was learning stuff

from Wiccas, Shamans, and other Demon hunters, being green energy

in human form means that in human form means there's bound to be

magic. But Buffy didn't know this and she still thought that I was poor

innocent "Dawnie" the sister that couldn't defend her self but not

anymore I had my eyes opened to all the evils in the world humans and

demons. I miss the sense of freedom and naiveté knowing that big sis

was always going to save me form the "big bads" in all the world,

those were the things I took for granted. But here I am now with my

pants around her ankles (figuratively) with Buffy saving me again.

fixing a smile and signaling John to come over (of course I told him

about Buffy so I think he figured out that that was Buffy)I turned

around.

"Hey Buffy"

I said as John came out of the shadows.
