Jessica stared down at the text in her book but the word just seemed to get even more blurrier and blurrier. She hadn't really been able to concentrate since she had bitched at Dawn yesterday. She had been wreak at training, missing kick and punches, not feeling like studying at all that morning. She wouldn't even glanced at Dawn or speak a word. Jessica quickly glanced at the Magic Shop. Anya and Giles were busy helping customers, Buffy and Willow were pouring threw books. Xander was just joking around. She slumped back in her seat and stared into space."Are you okay Jess?"Buffy asked. Jessica just shrugged."I'm going home I'll see you later Buff."she responded and grabbed her car keys and walked out. She parked infront of the house and killed the engine as she got out. She turned the key and slumped near the nearest couch. Suddenly, she felt a chill. She turned to see the familiar image of Glory."So um are you like clone Buffy or something? Do you know where my key is"she asked. Jessica backed away."Im not saying a word."Jessica. Glory let out a harsh laugh."Hmm......you almost has the chance of living right there, know I'll just have to drain you."'Jessica tried to drew a stake but then it cluttered to the ground. She tried to throw a kick but Glory caught her leg and flipped her over. Jessica regained her strength and did a flip and did a kick., sending Glory sprawling back, hitting her hard on the head."Thicken"she heard a voice say behind her. It was Willow and Buffy. A invisible force prevented Glory to move and then glared at Buffy and Jessica and in a instant she disappeared."I feel.........."but Jessica fainted before she could finish her sentance.Buffy managed to catch her before she collapsed on the floor."Did Glory drain her?"she asked. Willow shook her head"We have to get her to a hospital.Now"Buffy said.

Buffy nervously paced the long corridors of the hospital. She hated the smell and the feeling of the hospital it reminded her of all the times she had been here with her Mom becuase of the tumor.It just brought to much memories. Dawn had been a wreck since Buffy had told her about the encounter."I can't believe it!"she kept mumering."It's my fault I shouldn't have burst at Jessica that way......."She said as her voice trailed off."No Dawn,really it isnt your fault,it was Glory not you!"she said trying her hard to comfort Dawn. Suddenly the family doctor came along and looked at Buffy."Are you Buffy Summers?"Dr.Longarce asked. Buffy and Dawn nodded anxiously."Well Jessica is quiete all right, she is fine and maybe a little weak, you can see her know and she can go home once you want to"he said and lead them to Jessica's room. As she opened the door, she caught sight of her cousin. Jessica was propped on a white pillow with a bandage on her forehead."Hey"she said meekly. Dawn looked at Buffy and then burst into tears."Im so sorry Jess!"she cried as she hugged her."Only if I wasn't the key........!"she said,her face covered in tears. Jessica hugged her cousin and gave her a weak smile."No Dawnie, nothing is your fault okay!Things just happen and you can't change that!"Jessica said as she kissed her on the forehead. Dawn cried as she sunk into the couch with Buffy and Buffy hugged her tight."Jess do you wanna go home know?"she asked. Jessica nodded."The food here is icky!"she said without hesitation."Let's go home and get some real food!"Buffy said as she stifled a laugh.
