Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayers or any of the characters, but I wish I did. Props go to Joss Whedon, who made Buffy what she is today.

A/N: I apologize in advance for short chapters. I like to try to leave people hanging. I'll often publish more than one chapter at a time, so don't worry. :D

It was a perfectly normal day- to anyone not from Sunnydale. Buffy knew better though. The entire city had been blown to a gaping crater in California, and she was practically to blame for it. Sure, it was her who saved the human civilization from yet another apocalypse, but who's counting?

Buffy and Dawn had relocated toNew York and tried desperately for a new, demon-free life.

"Buffy! Look out!" Dawn cried in horror as the four-eyed demon named Galathron picked her sister up by the neck with one hand.

"Dawn..." Buffy managed through Galathron's tight grip. "Run..."

Dawn couldn't bear to leave her sister in her current position, but that pleading look Buffy gave her urged Dawn to obey. So she ran.

See? Extremely short, and I'm sorry about that, but I promise I'll upload all the chapters I have done, so there'll be more for you to read. Hopefully they will get longer in the future though. Please review besides the fact of the shortness!
