Discalimer- Buffy and Angel belong to the amazing Joss Whedon.
Chapter 1- Dawn
'She is my purpose, the light in my life; she was made from me. A trick and a disguise meant to manipulate to use me to protect her. They made me love her and though I would let her die. They were wrong they should have known. It's not in the cards for me to have that normal life Angel wanted for me. She's as close as I'll ever come to being a mother, I couldn't love a child I gave birth to more. I had always wondered why instead of resenting her as a child I felt she was mine, that she was my baby. I released why when we uncovered her origins. It didn't change anything. The powers that be were shocked I chose death for her, they thought knowing the truth would change something in the way I acted, they were wrong. They underestimated me; they didn't know my strength comes from love. Death may be my gift, but it comes from love. So smile, laugh, I'm at peace. All is good in the world, my child, my light, my Dawnie; Living is the hardest thing to do in this world, she lives for me.'
Buffy caught a glimpse through the curtain of the living; Dawn as she walks into the movies with friends. An unrestrained giggle escapes Dawn's lips, a smile on her face. A calm and serene smile appears on Buffy's face.
"She'll be fine, she's a Summer's girl."
