Chapter 1
"Is this blood?" the young woman asked standing in, while blood ran down her arm from her slit wrist
"Dawn! What did you do!?" Buffy yelled and ran to her.
"This is blood, is it? It can't be me. I'm not a key, I'm not a-a thing."
"Oh, sweetie, no," Joyce said, trying to calm the teen.
"What am I? Am I real? Am I anything?" Dawn cried.
Buffy stood there in shock, her mouth shut but in her head she was screaming, "Of course you're real, Dawnie! You're my daughter for god's sake!"
The teenager in front of her was crying and bleeding… her daughter was crying and bleeding.
