Chapter 1: Prologue
"I don't wanna go back there again," Buffy moaned sadly to her doctor and eager parents, "what do I have to do?"
The doctor smiled kindly at the desperate young woman and her parents were radiating hope. The doctor stood by the bed and explained to her what she would have to do. Buffy understood completely. And where was the bad in this deal anyway? She could get rid of the slaying and responsibilities she never wanted plus be with her parents who were together in a world where she was normal. There was no bad.
Buffy relaxed back on the bed and went back to hell, or Sunnydale as she had named it in her mind. Her task was so much easier that she thought it would be. Get Xander, Willow, and Dawn in the basement. Release the demon and presto! Three dead loved ones and a life of normality, comfort, and love.
Buffy opened her eyes and discovered that she was now huddled in a corner of her room with her mother kneeling in front of her. Buffy threw her arms around her welcoming mother and sobbed fiercely onto her shoulder.
"I want to go home, Mom. Please, I just want to go home with you and Daddy."
Joyce rubbed Buffy's back soothingly as she told her, "soon, baby, I promise you, soon."
