Roots Chapter 3

Dawn looked at Buffy, who was behind Willow looking intetly at whatever Willow was looking at.

As scared as Dawn was, she was even more afraid for Buffy.

"This can't be right." Buffy whispered.

"It's just a theroy Buffy."

"Well it could become a bill!" Buffy yelled.

"Law." Willow corrected.

"Whatever! I meen this could explain everything."

Willow walked over to Buffy.

"Or maybe something else Buff."

At that moment Tara ran into the magic shop, her face pale.

"Tara, what is it?"

Tara looked to Dawn then back to Buffy.

"She's turning back."

Dawn saw Buffy's face go pale white.

"No, no, we can make her stay right? RIGHT?" Buffy said pleading more then asking.

Tara only shook her head slowly.

"I don't think their's a way..."

"WELL THEN FIND A WAY!" Buffy yelled.

It looked like a movie, emotions running wild. Dawn didn't understand it at all.

"Buffy." Willow replied placing a hand soothingly on Buffy's shoulder. "We all want to help Dawn as much as you."

"But your not doing anything?" Buffy replied harshly leaving Willow with a hurt look.

"What's going on?" Dawn whispered as she found her voice.

Buffy, Tara and Dawn all looked back at her.

"Nothing Dawn."

"NO TELL ME!" Dawn yelled getting agrivated.

Willow looked to Buffy who only nodded.

"Your turning back into the key."

~~~~

"How?" Buffy whispered.

"The purpose for the magic, has grown out her usefulness." Tara whispered.

"Not to me." Buffy whispered.

"Won't our memory's be fixed? Kinda? Like she was never here." Anya asked.

"I never died." Buffy said with relization.

"No pain in the butt." Dawn said.

Buffy looked up.

"Dawn we want you here."

"No I see how it is, no Dawny no pain. I get it."

Buffy looked away to Willow who looked aggrivated.

"I SEE IT ALL NOW, LIFE IS EASY WTHOUT DAWN IN THE WAY!" Dawn yelled.

"SHUT UP!" Willow screamed.

Everyone in the magic shop looked startled at Willow's outburst.

"Im sick of you always assuming things. Never getting the answer. Things where hard before you where here and will always be hard even if you weren't here! You make things easier for us Dawn because we love you. So, stop with the self- pity and help us." Willow said angerily.

The red head quickly gathered her things and walked toward the door.

Because im not just going to sit around."

Everyone watched Willow storm out the door.

The magic shop carried on in silence even when she was gone.
