Dawn's Ghost Story
by Zzilly14
"One time there was a man named...
Gabriel," Dawn spoke eerily, with a
flashlight illuminating her face in the dark bedroom. "He was rejected
by the world, yet he fell in love with a girl. This girl, who we'll
call... Fluffy, happened to have special powers and was really annoying
and overprotective and... and she fell in love with him too."
One friend scoffed, "I thought this was a ghost story. And who names their kid Fluffy?"
"It's not finished yet! So, these two fell in love. Like Romeo and Juliet. But one day Gabriel... um... became a demon. Yeah, a demon."
"A demon?"
"How?"
"This is REALLY dumb, Dawn."
"Gabriel and Fluffy had... uh... kissed. They weren't supposed to, because Gabriel was forbidden to kiss his true love. And after that, he was cursed to be a demon."
"Did he have horns?"
"Uh... sure. He can have horns."
"What happened next?"
Dawn giggled nervously. "Well... okay, there was a way to make Angel... I mean, Gabriel, not be a demon anymore. So Fluffy's friends found a way, but not before Gabriel opened a portal to destroy the world. After her friends did the spell, Fluffy found Gabriel, and he was himself again. And they kissed."
"Aww!"
"Hey, I thought kissing was what got him in trouble the first time!"
"Did I say kissing? I meant hugging! But it was too late – the portal was opening, and the only way to close it was a sacrifice. So Fluffy pushed Gabriel into the portal and he was gone forever!"
"I don't like Fluffy."
"Neither do I," Dawn agreed. "After that, she was haunted by Gabriel. His ghost appeared to her, accusing her of murder. And to this day, Fluffy still sees him, his voice ringing out, 'Why, Fluffy, why?'"
"Why, Dawnie, why?" Buffy asked sarcastically as she entered the room. "That story is so lame. It's not even scary."
"What, like you have any better stories?" Dawn challenged.
"Matter of fact," she replied, joining the group on the floor, "there's this really creepy story about... vampires..."
