This Old World Is A New World:
Setting:
Dawn is 21 and has returned to North America after travelling all over Europe with Buffy, who has thrown herself so far into her work she has been destroying herself and Dawn. Dawn growing up in a word of unsure homes and various guys exploiting her age and loneliness, she is a mess, and it all hits her heart as she finds old alliances thriving.
Inspired by the Muse song 'In Your World'.
I own no characters or supernatural beliefs based in the Buffyverse or Angelverse. I own the plot.
Please review, add, anything.
CHAPTER ONE, So This Is It, Huh? :
Dawn pushed her bag higher up on her arm so it rested in the crook of her elbow. She looked around the sorry excuse for a major airport, but she guessed it was the best they could do. She heard the city still haven't recovered after the "natural disaster" that over took LA only a few years ago. She put her mp3 player on high as she listened to some of her favorite rock tunes; she stumbled her way through the dingy halls that felt claustrophobic to her. This was turning out to be a bad idea. But she had nowhere else to go. After telling Buffy she wanted to leave Buffy only threw a wad of money at her and a Council credit card and told her to have fun, with that deadly slayer gleam in her eyes. Dawn gladly left; this was her chance, you way out of this hell she had been living. She didn't know why Buffy was doing this to her. She figured only Buffy was in Buffy's head. She had forgotten she had a younger sister coming into adulthood, who needed support and stability. It's not like any of the other scoobies were about to step on her toes and intervene, so there Dawn was stuck being the drag along toy of the century for the world's most messed up slayer. Minus the ones that were actually crazy.
Dawn's eyes fluttered as she held back all the tears she refused to let fall these days. She had enough for any situation, for countless people, too bad they weren't a sharing item. She reflected on all the parties she attended, it was Europe, she was alone, and there was booze and boys and sometimes girls. BY the end of the night she'd be curled up on the bed, alone again, aching and dirty in more ways than one.
So LA…she could handle it. She had enough money and Giles promised to keep her funded for a place to live, but that was the most he was able to get. It was plenty it was a god send. She reached the front doors and it was all becoming so real. She was back in North American, she was alone….she had money, and a head full of problems. Where would she go?
Sorry this is short, it's more like...a doorway into Dawn's mindset coming back to the States. Alot more chapters and alot of angsty and raunchyness to ensue. Stay tuned. :P Very adult oriented this one is. More coming, hopefully on a quick and regular basis. :P
