Hi, this is my first attempt at Buffy fanfiction and my first attempt at fanfiction in a long time so I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with with the BtVS universe.
Prologue:
Dawn sat in her room silently waiting for everyone to go to sleep. She could hear them all, Willow, Xander, Giles, Tara and Anya, they were all in the kitchen cleaning up, the only one of them that even noticed or cared about the fact that she hadn't come down for dinner when they told her that it was ready was Tara.
All of them, except for Anya and Tara wished that she had been the one to jump off the tower that night, blamed her, the Key, for Buffy's death. Oh, Willow, Giles and Xander thought that she didn't know, didn't see it in their eyes every time they looked at her. Dawn wasn't stupid, her caretakers never paid any attention to her, didn't care if she went to school or not. The reason for Buffy's death didn't deserve to be able to go out and live her life. Giles, the oldest one, the one who had been like a father to Buffy hadn't even noticed when she started to shoplift and pickpocket. The final straw had been when Spike left town, saying that he needed to get out of Sunnydale and maybe find a way to get his chip removed. That's when Dawn decided to get out of Sunnydale.
That was a week ago and tonight she was leaving. She knew it would be hard to survive, but she had to get out of Sunnydale before the look in the eyes of her sisters friends caused he to blame herself for Buffy's death. As she replayed her sisters final words in her head for what seemed like the thousandth time, she left her house and headed towards the Sunnydale bus terminal.
Dawn almost laughed as the ticket salesman soled her a one way a ticket for the next bus out of Sunnydale without even questioning her about why she was alone and buying a ticket in the middle of the night even though she was obviously a minor. Ah, the wonders of living in a town where most people were constantly wearing rose coloured glasses.
At exactly 12:11, a brunette girl by the name of Dawn Summers passed the '' You are now leaving Sunnydale '' sign.
