"No Lady Buffy, you were born to do this in your world. Dawn was made do this for her world." Galadriel said blue eyes boring into Buffy's green ones.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

Buffy looked on at the elf woman angrily. "What do you mean, her world? Her world is the same as mine." Buffy said her voice quivering with unshed anger.

"No Lady Buffy. So much you do not understand." The elf said.

"Don't tell me what I don't understand, d#mnit. I want some answers. What do you mean?" Buffy asked.

"Dawn is the key." The lady said.

"No kidding." Buffy said. "How do you know about the key?" She asked.

The elf began to loose patience with Buffy, but maintained her cool composer. "The key is from middle earth. It is written in a prophecy that the key would be forged into human form to help with the great battle, in a form that would walk with the race of men, and help fight against any evil that should ever arise in Middle Earth. However the key, somehow someway, disappeared for over four thousand years. But now it has returned, in the form of-"

"Of my sister." Buffy deadpanned, edgy and not at all happy with what the elf had just told her.

"Yes, the sister of the most powerful slayer ever known. Made out of the slayer." The elf said. "But in the form of a child." The elf said.

"What something wrong with Dawn's form?" Buffy said.

"The key was meant to be put in the form of a powerful being who knew how to use their power, and who didn't have any bonds to people, but it wasn't. The key is now in the form of a young girl who hasn't any idea of her power, or her strength, or how to use. And she has bonds, emotional bonds." The elf said.

"So what your saying is Dawn wasn't supposed to be Dawn? What your saying is Dawn was supposed to be some lifeless emotionless walking zombie that was only here to do your dirty work, never knowing love or having family. And it wouldn't matter if she died or not, just as long as she got the job done." Buffy asked, her anger boiling deep inside her.

"Lady Buffy do not make it sound so harsh as you put it." The elf said. "But yes, the key would have been better off without knowing love, or having family. It would have been better, the key would not suffer loss, and no one around the key would." Galadriel said, trying to make Buffy see reason. "If the key does not take its role in Middle Earth, we will fail." She said.

"Stop referring to Dawn as a thing, because she's not. She my sister and her name is Dawn Summers, get that through your head." Buffy said.

The elf looked at Buffy, she had to get her to see reason. "If 'Dawn' does not fight for the freedom of Middle Earth, with the fellowship, then the fate of Middle Earth will fall, of the shadow will rule, and the race of men, elves, and dwarves will not see the dawn." She said, slightly hesitating before saying Dawn's name. "Are you truly willing to let innocent children fall in to shadow, because you will not let Dawn walk the path her destiny has created for her? Innocent people die, because of your stubbornness." She said.

Buffy stayed quite for a moment, thinking about what Galadriel had just said. Could she really let all of those helpless people die, but could she let her sister die, for a world not of their own. Finally her angry green eyes rose to look at the elf's blue eyes. "If anything, I mean if any harm comes to Dawn you'll regret bringing me here. If Dawn dies in this war of yours, then d#mnit so will you. If my sister gets captured or tortured any anyway, I'll be back, and you'll suffer tremendous pain." Buffy threatened. Buffy's eyes and voice shown no evidence that Buffy was bluffing. As the elf looked upon Buffy, she saw that Buffy was speaking the truth.

Before the elf could speak, Buffy turned and began to walk away. "If we are to be traveling with the fellowship, then you had better tell them." Buffy said and left, with Galadriel blue eyes boring into Buffy's back. She would call the fellowship and tell them of Buffy and Dawn.

"Haldir bring the fellowship if you would." Galadriel said.

"As you wish." Haldir said before going to bring the fellowship. When the fellowship was once again gathered in front of the female elf, she looked at them all.

"Lady Buffy, and Lady Dawn will both be accompanying you in your journey to destroy the ring." The elf.

"It is too dangerous." Aragorn began but was silenced by Galadriel.

"They both have a part to play here in Middle Earth. They are both to have fight for the freedom of Middle Earth. If they do not, Middle Earth will fall into Shadow." She said.

"What could too young girls do to help fight for Middle Earth?" Aragorn asked.

"They both play a very big part in the battle. Both are stronger then what they look." The elf explained.

"What do you mean?" Legolas asked.

"The lady Buffy is the slayer, stronger then anybody. She is the strongest slayer ever to be heard of, her strength goes beyond belief. You all know of slayers, she is the protector of her world." The elf began. (Imagine they all know about slayers ok.)

"That explains the Lady Buffy, but what of the young girl, Lady Dawn. What role could she possible play in this battle?" Legolas asked.

"Dawn is the sister of the slayer, made from her." The elf said, but went on before others could question what she meant. "Four thousand years ago the key disappeared." The elf said. "The key was sent to Lady Buffy's world, and there it was made into the form of a fourteen year old girl, little sister of the slayer." She said. "The lady Dawn is the Key." The elf said.

"The key is very dangerous to mess with." Aragorn said. "We could be putting the fellowship at risk by sending her with us." Aragorn said.

"He is right Lady Galadriel, it was never written that the key was to be used for good or evil, never did they say weather the key was good or evil." Legolas said, uneasy about having the key here.

"The form of which the key was made, does not know its power, or its strength. Dawn knows not of how powerful she is." Galadriel said.

"This thing could turn on and kill us in the middle of the night, I say we destroy it now!" Boromir said.

"Middle Earth needs the key or else it will fall, and Lady Buffy has already stated that she will not let any harm come to Lady Dawn." The elf said.

"She dose not know what she is talking about, the key has brain washed her, she will be are downfall!" Boromir argued.

"If the key does now fight for Middle Earth, then Middle Earth will meet its downfall." The elf said calmly. "It has already been said, Lady Buffy and Lady Dawn will fight alongside of you for the freedom of Middle Earth." The elf lady said before walking away.

Dawn sat on the bank thinking. Buffy did blame her for everything that happened when Glory came. For their mothers death, for her dying, everything. A tear traveled down Dawns cheek, and then another, and another. She always knew she was in the way, she was never supposed to be apart of Buffy's life, Buffy didn't want her their, she probable didn't even love her. Was it all an act?

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

Buffy sat in the forest against a huge tree and began to think, while letting her anger cool down. 'The nerve of her, referring to her as a thing. Telling me I had to put my sister in the way of danger. Should I tell Dawn about her coming from this world? Did that elf lady bring us here? The nerve of these people, and.' Buffy stopped thinking when she suddenly remembered something she had said to Dawn, something about Glory.

"Crap, she probable thinks I blame her." Buffy said cursing under her breath at how her day could get any better.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

Buffy had been searching for Dawn for last fifteen minutes, and couldn't find her. She began to grow annoyed, and worried at the same time. She spotted Legolas, and Aragorn talking near by, and went to ask them if they had seen Dawn.

"Hi." She said smiling at them.

"Lady Buffy." Aragorn said, smiling softly at her.

"Just Buffy." Buffy said. "Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys had seen Dawnie, you know fifteen year old, all bubble with life, with brown hair." Buffy asked.

"The key you mean?" Legolas asked.

Buffy lost her smile, and looked at Legolas and Aragorn with a raised eyebrow. "How did you know Dawn was the key?" She asked. "That elf lady told you didn't she?" She said.

Aragorn sensing she was becoming anger quickly reassured her. "She was only informing us that Dawn and your self would be joining the fellowship." He said.

"Yeah, I bet." Buffy said, really not liking the elf lady. "Have you seen 'my sister Dawn'?" Buffy said, making it obvious not to consider Dawn as a thing.

"She is gone?" Aragorn asked.

"Well I can't find her. And I gotta find her, because I sorta said something that probably hurt her feelings, and stuff." Buffy rambled.

"But she is the key." Legolas said.

"She's my little sister, who has feelings like any other person. And it would be a smart thing if you treated her like a person, and not a thing." Buffy said glaring at the elf a bit, knowing that this would be a problem.

"We have not seen her Buffy." Aragorn said.

"Well, thanks anyways." Buffy said, disappointed as she began to walk away.

"She protects the key, and has family emotion toward it." Legolas said.

"Remember Legolas, the key was sent to her to protect. And Buffy looks down upon the key, as her little sister. Also Lad Dawn, knows nothing about how powerful she is." Aragorn said.

"Do you believe, then that Lady Dawn is dangerous?" Legolas asked, rethinking what he thought of Dawn over again.

"I do not know. Time will tell." Aragorn said.

"Yes, time will tell." Legolas muttered.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

Dawn was still sitting at the bank when Buffy found her. "Dawn, I was looking everywhere for you." Buffy sad sitting down beside of Dawn.

"Why do you care?" Dawn asked.

"Because you're my sister." Buffy said sarcastically. "Look I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I was just worried that something could happen to you." Buffy tried to explain. "And I know you're not a child Dawn, but that doesn't mean I still don't worry. You're my little sister."

"You don't think I don't know. I worry all the time when you go out to fight vamps." Dawn said. "But you never think about that, that I worry about you whenever you leave without a second thought about me, or anything else?" Dawn asked.

Buffy looked at Dawn for a moment before reaching out and running her hand through her hair. "Dawnie I'm sorry."

Dawn looked at her, Dawn sighed. "Yeah, I know." Dawn said. "So do I get to help fight?" Dawn asked in her usual voice.

"If you must know yes unfortunately." Buffy said dryly, not liking it at all.

"No way." Dawn said grinning. "This is so cool, I get to help." Dawn said.

"Yeah, yeah." Buffy said. Dawn grinned at her sister's mood. "Come on we better go back to the group." Buffy said standing up with dawn.

"So, do you find any certain guy hot?" Dawn said, while Buffy just rolled her eyes and continued walking.

When the two sisters arrived at the camp, the fellowship sent glances at them, but manly at Dawn. Dawn just looked at Buffy who was glaring slightly at Legolas. Silence came between everyone in the group; Dawn kept looking everywhere and began to tap her fingers out of boredom.

"Well this is pleasant." Dawn said sarcastically.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Dawn shut up and get some rest. That would be the normal thing to do." Buffy said from her spot on the ground. Dawn rolled her eyes lay down, when a yawn escaped her. She was quickly in the land of dreams in no time.

Legolas felt a smile pull at his lips as he watched Dawn. 'Maybe there isn't anything to worry about after all.' He thought, as Aragorn was having the same thoughts.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

The next morning, someone was lightly shaking Dawn awake. She muttered something before turning over and going back to sleep. When the person shook Dawn a second time she pulled her shoulder away from their hand.

"She won't get up." Someone sleepily said in the background. "Trust me, I used to have to drag her out of bed so she wouldn't be late for school." Buffy said while trying to get awake herself.

The person shook her again. "Go away." Dawn muttered. "It's too early." She said before swatting at the person, but someone caught her wrist.

"It's past dawn, and you're the only one still sleep. We must be off." Someone said to her.

Dawn opened one of her eyes and looked at Legolas, whom's blonde hair seemed to be shining as the sun shown on. "Your hair is really shiny ya know, its pretty." Dawn mumbled as her eyes slowly slid shut. Legolas smirked, as he shook her awake again. "I'm up." Dawn said without opening her eyes, but was finally pulled to her feet. Dawn's eyes shot open as she stumbled a bit. "That was mean." Dawn said as she yawned and stretched.

"Hurry, we will be leaving soon." Legolas said.

"Yup" Dawn said, as she watched him walk away.

"You think he's hot don't you." Buffy said form beside of Dawn. Dawn looked at Buffy and shrugged. "You do." Buffy smirked.

"Hello, did you look at him." Dawn asked. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to change." Dawn said.

"Into what?" Buffy asked.

"Oh you know when that portal thingy opened, well I had one of our bags of clothes in my hand, so I still have it." Dawn said before walking away with Buffy following.

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

When Dawn and Buffy had changed, they walked back toward where the fellowship where. Buffy had on a jacket, pair of black l.e.i's with a pair of black boots. And her shirt was (if you want to see what her shirt looks like go here-

The fellowship looked at the two girls. "So." Buffy said. Which got the fellowship to start moving again and stop looking at them. "Where do we set?" Buffy asked when she noticed they were going by boat.

"You will be riding with me, Frodo, and Sam. Dawn will be riding with Legolas and Gimli." Aragorn said.

"OK." Buffy said. When no one was looking she smirked at Dawn, who was looking at Legolas. "You're drooling." Buffy whispered. Dawn blushed and looked away from Legolas.

"Shut up." Dawn said.

Buffy rolled her eyes, and caught sight of Galadriel and glared at her. Dawn followed her sister's glare and raised her eyebrow. Before Dawn had the chance to ask Haldir came and gave Dawn and Buffy two swords, Dawn looked at hers amazed, along with Buffy. It was Beautiful, and light. She quickly thanked the elf and walked toward the boats because Aragorn said it was time to load up. So Buffy and Dawn went to their own boats and got in. Buffy being helped into hers by Aragorn, and Dawn was being helped into hers by Legolas. Gimli looking at her suspiciously the whole time, wondering how such a small, young, and pretty thing could be so powerful, (without knowing it) or maybe dangerous.

As the boats started down- or up- the river Dawn looked around and wondered if she would ever see anything as beautiful as this. She looked back up toward where Buffy was and again noticed her hard glare toward Galadriel, she would have to ask later. Until then Dawn looked around and the scenery, and Legolas, and couldn't help feel a rush, in the journey that was about to begin. A journey that had already begun.
