Chapter 2

An hour after Dawn banished them from her room, Buffy and Joyce talked in the living room.

"What are we going to do? How can we help her? We need to do something," Joyce said; nervous, helpless. Meanwhile, Dawn crept to the top of the stairs to hear their conversation.

"Mom, she's not your daughter! She's not my sister! She doesn't belong to her school, to this world she's living now!"

After hearing those things Dawn ran back to her room, crying.

"How can you even say think that?!" Joyce exclaimed

"I don't, she does. Mom, six months ago I gave birth to her, she's my daughter and she's almost fifteen and 'till this week for the last six months she grown almost two and a half years per month, Willow did the math thing. My daughter is six months going on fifteen ye-" The fire alarm cut into Buffy's mini-speech.

"Dawn!" Buffy and her mom said in unison. They ran to Dawn's room to find all her diaries burning in the trashcan, but Dawn wasn't there.

"Oh god, Dawn," Joyce said, shocked.

"I'm going to find her," Buffy said and left the room.

Joyce sighed and walked to her own bedroom. She sat on the bed and opened a drawer in her nightstand. She took out a picture of Buffy with a huge smile holding a sleeping baby. On the back of the picture was written "Dawn- birth date 26/09/2000"

A tear slid down her cheek.

"Keep her safe, Buffy," she said quietly.
