The gang was at Buffy's house for movies...but that was at 11:00...now it's 4 am. Willow is starting to wake up on the couch seeing Buffy getting her jacket on.
Willow moaned a bit.
"What ya doin Buff?" She said...kinda.
"Dawn's not here, she never came back from getting the movie Will...we all fell asleep and she hasn't come back yet." Buffy said hastily.
"Oh my god are you sure?" Willow said quickly pulling the blanket off her and getting up.
"I'm coming Buff, wait up" Willow said grabbing her jacket.
"Dawn!...Dawn!!" Buffy yelled in the night...or morning.
"Dawnie sweetie, where are you?!" Willow yelled.
"Wait, Will, quiet a sec. I thought I heard something" Buffy said stopping Willow from walking.
Buffy looked around...to the side and across the street until her eyes widened.
"Willow" Buffy whispered pointing to an alley.
"Oh no" Will whispered back.
"Dawn!!" Buffy yelled and started running into the street. Little did she know there was a car coming.
"Buffy!!" Willow yelled and all of a sudden Buffy was lifted into the air and brought back to the sidewalk as the car went by honking like crazy.
"Omg, thanks Will"
"No problem" Willow said bringing her hands down.
They ran over to the alley. Buffy fell to her knees next to a heavily breathing and shaking Dawn on her back. Beaten up, cuts and bruises everywhere...and a knife with a note in her gut.
"Dawn? Dawn, can you hear me?" Buffy said so nervously.
She took the note off the note and read it with a blank face.
"Who could have done this?" Willow asked looking at Dawn's body, head to toe.
"Faith" Buffy answered quietly with a shocked face.
"No...no that's not possible. She's not even in the country." Willow sputtered.
"She's back" Buffy said almost bursting into tears, handing Willow the note.
I'm back B...Beware.
Buffy looked back at Dawn. Stroking her head.
"Mmm..Buffy? Dawn moaned.
"Shhh Shhh it's ok sweetie, I'm going to get this knife out of you ok?" Buffy told her calmly.
Buffy ripped open Dawn's shirt enough to see the wound.
"Ok, do you want to hold something Dawnie?
Willow took Dawn's hand in hers and held it tightly.
"Ok, on 3 alright?" Buffy put her hands around the knife's handle.
"1...2...3!" Buffy ripped out the knife just as a scream of pain was let out of Dawn's mouth.
"Bleeding...we need to stop the bleeding." Buffy said nervously.
"Oh!" Willow took off her jacket and Buffy picked up Dawn. Allowing Willow to tie it around Dawn's wound.
"We have to take her to the hospital Will"
"How" willow replied.
"We run"
"Right" They both got up. Dawn in Buffy's arms.
.............
"Stay awake Dawn, we're almost there" Buffy was talking to Dawn the whole way. Telling her to hold on.
"It's hurts Buffy. It hurts." Dawn moaned
"I know Shhhhh I know."
"There it is!" Willow yelled. Buffy looked up.
Wanna know what's going to happen.........??
