February 15
NIGHT
Buffy is sitting on her bed, crying uncontrollably. She is holding a picture of her and Dawn. She stares at it for a few minutes. She crumples it and holds it to her heart. She is remembering what the doctor said.
Flashback:
A doctor is walking towards Buffy. He is looking sympathetically at her. Doctor shakily says, "I'm sorry Miss Summers, but your sister didn't make it. Someone did too much damage." End of flashback.
"I'LL KILL HIM!" she yells.
Willow who was standing outside Buffy's door walks in. "You don't mean that." she said.
"How can you say that? Dawn got killed because of her jealous ex!" her voice rising.
"I know what he did was wrong and unforgivable. I just don't want you to make the same mistake I did. Dawn wouldn't want you to either. Don't get me wrong, I want nothing more than to kill him too. But please don't. I loved Dawn very much too." Willow says, trying to hold back the tears, but failing.
"I should've known something wasn't right. It seemed like she was hiding something. I asked her a million times, but she just pushed me away. She said everything was fine."
"She probably was worried you'd get hurt too." Willow says, sitting next to her.
Abruptly, Buffy stands up, "I can't deal with this, not now." She runs towards the door.
Willow follows her. "Where are you going?"
Buffy pauses, "Out to slay."
Willow hears the door shut. She walks back to her and Kennedy's room.
"How is she doing?"
Willow stares at her.
"Right, stupid question."
"It'll take some time." Willow says sadly. "She is taking some of her anger out on the vampires."
Kennedy looks at her, "She is slaying?"
Willow nods sadly.
"Um…what were her exact words?"
Confused, "Her exact words were 'Out to slay.'
Kennedy just glares at her.
Understanding, "You think she's going to kill Dawn's ex?"
"I don't know. But if some one killed my sister, I wouldn't be so forgiving. I want to torture and kill him myself. I can only imagine what Buffy will do."
Willow runs out, as does Kennedy.
"You are going to do a locator's spell?" asks Kennedy, running down the stairs.
"No. It'll take too long. I will check his house first, than the graveyard. Do you know his address?"
"I dropped Dawn off at his house a couple of times. I can probably remember where it is." said Kennedy.
"Ok, let's go." Willow says.
Both of them run out the door and into the night.
