Chapter 6
When Dawn woke up she had a killer headache, she must have been knocked out. She tried to move, but couldn't. She realized that she was tied to a huge rock. She looked around and figured she was underground somewhere.
"Buffy!" She yelled even though she knew no one would hear her.
"Sorry Dawny, I don't think big sis would be able to hear you." Dawn was scared when she recognized the voice. She looked up to see Glory standing before her.
"No, you're not real." She said terrified.
"I'm as real as you babe, but since you're not real either, I see your point." A tear slid down Dawn's face.
"What do you want with me?" She asked shakily. Glory gave a wicked smirk.
"I want all the Slayers dead, but since that won't happen anytime soon, not with Buffy around and now Faith, I think I'll settle for the vampire, I'm not done with him yet." Then Glory turned back into Buffy. "I really did enjoy messing with him. It was something fun to do to kill the time." Dawn glared at the thing that now looked like her sister.
"I saw what you did to him, you're a monster." The First smiled at her.
"Thank you, I do try. I can't take all the credit though; my vampire did most of it, which your bitch of a sister slaughtered. She will pay for that. She'll come for you, and when she does it will be the last thing she ever does." It disappeared. The tears were streaming down Dawn's face now.
"Buffy." She whispered to no one in particular. Back at the house Buffy was getting frustrated.
"How could no one have seen her get taken?" Buffy exclaimed upset.
"We were all distracted B." Faith told her.
"Buffy, we'll get her back." Willow said gently, trying to calm her down. Buffy wasn't sure.
"This doesn't make sense, what would they want with Dawn?" No one knew what to say till Spike spoke up.
"Holding her as bait, probably to lure you there, or me. I know the First isn't done with me yet." Buffy agreed.
"So, they probably took her to the cave where I found you." Spike nodded.
"That would be my guess." Buffy looked at everyone.
"Looks like I'm going back to the cave." Giles shook his head.
"You can't go alone Buffy, it's too dangerous." Buffy agreed.
"I won't be going alone. Spike and Faith, you're coming with me." They both agreed.
"What about us? We can help." Kennedy stated. Buffy shook her head.
"No, you guys aren't ready yet. I need you all to stay here. I don't think the Bringers will come back tonight." Kennedy nodded even though she really wanted to go. Then Buffy looked at Spike and Faith. "Grab all the weapons you can. We're heading out." They did as she said and went to get weapons. After they got what they needed they left the house. Buffy followed them.
"Be careful Buff." Xander called after her. She turned to look at him and smiled.
"Always." With that she left the house and joined the others. Outside the cave Buffy was getting annoyed. "We can't just stand around, we have to go in." Spike wasn't sure.
"They would be expecting us, there's no telling how many Bringers are in there, we could be putting Dawn in more danger." Spike told her.
"Yeah, he could be right, there's no telling what is waiting for us in there." Buffy wasn't convinced.
"Well, I have to do something." A scream got Buffy's attention. "Dawn!" She yelled as she ran to the cave.
"Buffy!" Spike yelled as he went after her. Faith ran after him. They were inside the cave and found it empty.
"Keep your eyes open for anything." Buffy told them as they walked deeper into the cave. Buffy saw Dawn tied up with her head down. She ran to her. "Dawn, it's okay, I'm here." Dawn looked up and Buffy saw a big cut on her cheek and tears stained her face.
"Buffy, is it really you?" Buffy brushed her hair out of her face.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm going to get you out of here." She tried to untie her when two Bringers came out of nowhere and threw Buffy against a wall.
"Buffy!" Dawn screamed. Spike and Faith went after the Bringers. They knocked Spike to the ground and Faith grabbed the sword she brought and decapitated them both without even breaking a sweat before they could get to Spike. She went to help him up.
"Thanks, pet." He told her.
"Don't mention it." Buffy went back to Dawn and untied her.
"We really need to get out of here." Dawn agreed and they both went to join the others.
"How you doing nibblit?" Spike asked her. She just smiled at him to let him know that she was okay when they heard a voice behind them.
"Well, I'll have to hand it to you Buffy, you don't give up." Buffy turned around at the familiar country accent to see Eve, the potential Slayer that she couldn't save. Buffy glared at her.
"You have crossed the line. It's over; you're going to stay the hell away from us. Be sure to give that message to your Bringers. If you keep sending them after us we will just kill them off one by one till there is no more. You are not killing anymore Slayers on my watch. This ends here, you do not want to go into war with me. If you do, I guarantee, you won't win." Spike had to smile at her speech, while the First just glared at them.
"Well, nice speech, but this is far from over. I don't give up easily, catch you later." Then like all the other times, it vanished. The four of them left the cave and went back home.
"She was so awesome, she's like if you come near us again, I'll kick your ass. Okay, maybe not in those exact words, but it was still cool." Dawn was still bragging to the rest of the girls about what happened with the First. Buffy couldn't help but love it. She was in the kitchen with Faith.
"So, things are pretty hectic here and I have a feeling they're just gonna get worse, so I was thinking that maybe I should stick around for a while longer, that is if you wouldn't mind. I mean, I'm not saying that I would stay here, you have a pretty full house already." Buffy stopped her.
"Faith, it's cool, you could stay here. I mean, us Slayers have to stick together right?" Faith nodded.
"This is true, thanks B." There was an awkward silence after that till Faith broke the ice again. "Hey, I know this isn't much coming from me, but I'm sorry about your mom. I just wish she could know how sorry I am for what happened a few years ago." Buffy looked down and when she looked back up she saw Joyce behind Faith. She just smiled and disappeared. Buffy had to smile too.
"She knows." Buffy said as she went back to the paper that she was looking at earlier.
The End
Well, that was all I could think of. I know it's not so great and there's a lot of stuff left unanswered, but I'll leave that to Joss, and I'm never really good with details or that creative anyway, but it was all I could come up with right now. Anyway, I hope ya'll liked it. Thanks for reading!
