~~Prologue:

A lone figure trudged through the Sunnydale cemetery, an axe in one hand, a stake in the other. It stumbled

over a broken head stone and landed in a sitting position on the wet grass.

Dawn sighed. "Great. Now not only am I stuck patrolling the graveyard on a Saturday night, my ass is

wet."

She fell back onto the grass and lay there looking up at the night sky.

"This sucks. I should go home, or maybe down to a club or something… after all, everyone knows that

stupid demon's lair is on the other side of town. They only sent me here to keep me out of trouble."

Dawn sighed again. All she wanted to do was actually help fight the bad guys! Researching got old really

quick.

Eventually she made herself get up, her back now drenched from the dew.

Just went she was getting started on another rant to herself she head something behind her.

Dawn tried not to appear tense as she listened for footsteps. Sure enough she heard a twig break right

behind her. Oh my god! How did it creep up so much on me!?!?

She took a breath then spun and stabbed with her stake at the same time. The Vampire behind her let out a

surprised hiss then did the poofy trick.

"Moron!!.. Bloody vampire's… you'd think they'd learn! I am the slayer's sister after all.. oh that's right

the way she protects me, they probably all think I'm a complete pussy or something! ARG!!"

"That's it… I've made up my mind. Nothings holding me here anymore, Im finished school. I have no

friends because this is what I spend my weekends doing." Dawn kicked up the vamp-dust with a booted

foot .

She turned on her heel and started marching through the grave stones. I'm gonna go live somewhere else..

ind a job, start my own life… as far away from here as possible!
