Jessica paced nervously at the house,she wasn't going to go back to the manor until night, suddenly the doorbell rang. She opened the door to see Willow, Anya, Xander, Giles, Spike, Tara and Buffy. She hugged Buffy, who's expression seemed blank."Um sit down"she said to everyone. She slumped back to the seat next to Buffy when Elizabeth came in. Her face was startled when she saw Buffy and the people she didn't know."Um hi?" she said in unison. Noone said a word, when Elizabeth saw Buffy."Hey"she said softly. Buffy didn't respond. She had to get out before someone said something, she had to get Elizabeth out of there."Uh Liz, didn't Tia called a few minutes ago, something about some notes she needed for a review?"."Oh that's ok, she can get them from Maria."she said taking a seat by Jessica. Jessica shot Buffy a look."Um that's okay you can stay here Liz"Buffy replied."Where is Dawn?"she asked. Buffy met Jessica's gaze, got up and turned toward's the kitchen. Anya and Willow both followed. Jessica pulled Elizabeth inside of the den."Liz, Buffy's is going through a really tough time right know, so just don't bombard her with the q&a's?"okay?" she said. Elizabeth shook her head, almost uncertain and immedietly dissapered upstairs.Jessica looked back at Willow."How exactly did Glory get the key?"she asked with curiosity."I put a spell of this invisbale force preventing the knights to come in, and Giles got hurt so then Buffy asked Ben to come in help. and this knight guy came and then(she stutters on some words) Buffy tied him up to a post and then she got some info off him and then Ben came and started going crazy, morphed into Glory, she got Dawn and then Buffy was to devastated to go, and by the time we got to her, Glory had already took of with Dawn.'" Jessica broke into sobs as she leaned on Buffy. Elizabeth peeked from the room, not so far that the company would see her. There was a old man, well he seemed like a old man, Buffy, a redhead cradling a whimpering girls in her arms, a dark-haired boy soothing a girl with dark blonde hair. And a guy that wore a long black duster and had platnuim hair. But the light seemed to dim in the living room, she leaned to open the shades when suddenly the vampire yelped and yanked his duster over his heard. Tara started whimpering in Willow's arms."Close the bloody drapes!"the vampire yelled."Close them!" Willow screamed in panic."Close em'"Buffy said softly."My hands are sliced!"Spike shrieked and grabbed the towel Anya had handed him and was cutting them in strips as Willow tied them onto his hands. He gave Elizabeth a hard glare and returned to his seat as he slumped down. Jessica was now getting very impatient with Elizabeth's behavior. She barley acted like like that."Um Liz, why don't you go up stairs and study for that final?"she asked. Elizabeth gave her a hard glare."Why?Are you trying to get rid of me?"Elizabeth asked rather harshly. Jessica shook her head."Elizabeth, please don't start this is a extremely important and I don't want any interruptions." Elizabeth gave her one last look before returning upstairs.She gave Willow a frail smile."Really, I have no idea why Liz is acting like that.". Willow just nodded."You havn't told her have you?"Giles asked her. Jessica shook her head."It's way to much."she said softly. She saw Giles look at the clock and then look back at Willow."It's time to go, we have to get Dawn before the ritual." Jessica froze"What ritaul?". She saw Willow's eyes drop down."Glory is going to bleed Dawn dry till the porters open, the gate that seperates reality and chaos wil open and l seize on earth and turn into darkeness, the only way to stop it is to" Jessica shot him a glare."To what?"she demanded."To kill the key, Jessica, The only way is to kill Dawn."Jessica's hand flew up to her mouth as she gasped and crumbled to the floor."No............"she whispered and burst into tears. She felt Willow's hand around her."I-- I have to do something."Jessica stammered."Jessica there is nothing you can do, this is Buffy's fight, not yours." "No Giles, this is just not Buffy's fight, this is everyone's fight including me, Do you think Im just gonna sit here and wait till Dawn dies?"I don't think so." "Jessica, you are trained very well, but it is not enought to take on Glory." "I don't care, I have to do something, even if it something small, please..."she pleaded."Im sorry Jessica."Giles responded."Willow, Xander, Tara,Buffy, Spike Anya,it 's time to go."he said softly and then glanced back at Jessica."You are free to come with us if you like, but no interfering.". Jessica nodded."I'll stay here for a while and go back when this mess is over." She glanced over at Buffy."Will you be okay?"she asked."Buffy nodded solemly and then went to hug both Jessica and Elizabeth. As she hugged Jessica, she leaned over to her ear and told her."Always remeber me." she said, little did Jessicas know those would be the last words ever spoken to Jessica from Buffy again.

Jessica sighed as she put the last dish on the rack and turned around and slumped her body in the nearest chair. All day she had been vacuuming, dusting, cleaning bathrooms. Too bad all her roomates refused to hire maid. When the loud sound of the doorbell rang interrupting thoughts. She frowned and crinkled her nose and looked down at her rumpled clothes.She was wearing a faded gray tanktop, old shorts and ragged old sneakers and her blonde was tied back in a yellowed handkerchief. She walked to the door and came face to face Willow. Her eyes were rimmed with red as she had been crying for hours. Her gaze met Jessica's with sorrow in her eyes."Um come in."she stammered Willow entered and gestured to Jessica to come sit down."Um do you want some tea?". Willow shook her head."Jessica, please this is very serious, I have very bad news.". Jessica looked at her with compassion."Buffy defeated Glory, we saved Tara, and everyone, but Dawn's blood had already spilled, and the portal opened, and," Willow hesitated a moment and then put her hands on Jessica's head."You should see, words cannot explain."Jessica gasped as she saw black, and then visions of her and Buffy, mixed, when they were little and then bigger, she saw the birth of Dawn, Buffy being told she was a slayer, defeating the master, losing Angel's soul, Riley breakup Buffy saying to Dawn they both have the same blood- Summers blood...........and the vision that was to become she froze. She heard nothing, like everything was muted. She saw Buffy talking to Dawn, Dawn shaking her head with tears streaming across her face.Buffy leans and kisses Dawn on the cheeks softy, and then heading for the platform, and diving off into a through a ball of energy,millions of electricity sparks coming . Buffy struggling. And then a gravestone shot that read gravestone shot

Jessica let out a piercing cry of terror and felt her body sink into the floor.."No.........that..........no!"Jessica screamed. Tears streamed down her face."Willow...that can't be true, please tell me that isn't true."Willow just looked at her and nodded,"Im sorry Jessica, What happened has happened." She let her body slump on the floor and then met Willow's saddned gaze upon her."Have I been called?"she said softly.Willow shook her head."I don't know, Giles he is way to devstated for the next slayer to be called, right know at this moment he is fighting with the council either to revive Buffy or you be the next slayer." Jessica just gapped at her."But have I been called?" "I don't know Jess, thats what were trying to figure out, Kendra was called when Buffy died but then Xander saved her, Faith was called when Kendra got killed by Drusilla.""And I was called when Buffy died."she said in a small voice."Im not ready to take my cousin's place. Buffy's coming back and I know it, Im gonna bring her back somehow, and with that I need your help Will."
