~ Buffy was in the corner of her room at the mental institution, curled into a ball. Her mother and father were huddled over her, trying to calm her down. The doctor told Mr. and Mrs. Summers to give Buffy some space, and they obeyed. They backed up, and took their seats again.

"She's made herself believe she's some kind of hero" ,the doctor said. "A vampire Slayer", replied Mrs. Summers.

"Yes. In this reality, she has some friends. I believe their names are Willow, Xander, Tara and Giles. She also says she has a younger sister named Dawn, of whom she is quite protective of. She makes up demons, and other evil beings to fight. I've heard her speak of Glory, Ben, The First, and many others. And just recently, she was devestated after Giles returned to England. I believe he was some sort of paternal figure for her. In these delusions, she and her friends defeat the demons and monsters, and rarely ever result in death or injury of one of their own.", the doctor continued.

"Is there any way to bring her back? Make her as she was before?" Mr. Summers asked.

"Yes... She has to kill her friends..." ~
