Chapter 5.
The three can not begin to comprehend about what just happen. Damon quickly gets into the car and Casandra drives away. They arrive at Damon's house and rush into the house.
At Giles' place Dawn is putting the ingredients of her spell together. The spell is a reviving spell that she found in the witchcraft book.
"I'm home," says Giles as he comes into the apartment with a bag in his hands. "Dawn."
Dawn quickly hides all her things under the bed and comes out of her room.
"I'm right here," says Dawn.
"I brought Chinese," says Giles.
"Dose it bring fortune cookies?" ask Dawn.
"I think so," says Giles. He opens the bag to look for the fortune cookies.
Back at Damon's house Damon, Casandra, and Sam sit and wonder about their encounter with one of Sunnydale's permanent residents.
"Now that's something you don't see everyday," says Damon.
"You think," says Casandra. She gives Samantha a cup of water.
"You guys can stay here if you want," says Damon.
"We'll take the cough," says Casandra.
"That's not necessary. You can sleep in my bed," says Damon. " I'll take the cough."
"Are sure," ask Casandra.
"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on for more of those disfigured crazy people," says Damon. Casandra and Sam head up the stairs and fall to sleep immediately.
At the Bronze John serves Willow and Tara who are out on patrol. They did not meet any vampires for a long time, but tonight will be different. Willow quickly identifies one entering the Bronze and Tara sees one with a young girl. The two look at each other.
"What do we do," ask Tara. Willow looks at Tara and looks around to see more vampires entering.
"I don't know," says Willow. "We've got stop them." She begins to pull out a stake from her bag. All the vampires see it and head out of the Bronze with no victims. Willow and Tara are relief but next time they won't be so lucky.
The next day, at Damon's house John wakes up to see Damon on the cough. He wakes him up and Damon looks up at his brother half-asleep.
"Why aren't you sleeping in your bed," ask John.
"Cause Casandra and Sam are sleeping in there," replies Damon.
"Casandra," says John. "Casandra's here."
Casandra and Sam come down the stairs. John looks at her in awe as she walks up to the boys.
"Good morning boys," says Casandra.
"How are you doing Casandra?" ask John.
"Not bad and yourself?" Casandra ask.
"Pretty good." replies John. "How did my kid brother convince you to sleep over?"
"He didn't convince me," says Casandra. " We ran into this crazy person...I don't even want to talk about it."
"What kind of crazy people?" ask John.
"The weird kind," says Damon as he opens the door for the ladies.
"Bye Damon, see ya at school," says Sam.
"Bye Damon," says Casandra as she kisses him on the cheek. "Thanks for letting us stay." As she walks to her car John looks at Damon.
"Well, I better get going myself," says Damon trying not to have any eye contact with his brother. He grabs his books and heads out the door.
At school Damon catches up to Dawn in the halls. Dawn looks at him and sees that he is wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday. She tries to ignore him.
"Look tell me the truth," ask Damon. "Are there really such things as witches, demons, and vampires?"
"What happen last night?" ask Dawn.
"I met an unfriendly neighbor and I pushed her against a tree branch that went right through her heart," says Damon in low voice. "Then she turns into dust. Explain that?" Dawn pulls Damon into an empty classroom and locks the door.
"Yes, it's true," says Dawn. "In this world exist witches, demons, and vampires."
"So last night that was a..."says Damon.
"Vampire," replies Dawn. "They're back. That's cause they know that..." Dawn walks away from Damon.
"That what?" ask Damon. Dawn turns to him and looks at him straight in the eyes.
"That we are vulnerable," replies Dawn. "No one can stop them." Dawn turns away.
"If no one can stop them then why haven't they conquered?" ask Damon.
"I've gotta go," says Dawn pushing Damon aside and leaves him with unanswered questions.
"Hey, sport," says the captain of the football team coming down the hall. "Trying to pick on the younger ladies. Buddy it ain't worth it." He goes by Damon shaking his head.
After school Damon runs over to Dawn as she is walking down the hall. He stands in front of Dawn and corners her against the wall. Dawn tries to get through but he is too strong for her.
"I want to know everything," says Damon.
"Believe me you don't. It will only get you in trouble," says Dawn. "It can even get you killed." Damon notices something about Dawn.
"You lost someone," says Damon.
"I lost two people," says Dawn with a serious tone.
"I lost both my parents," says Damon. There is silence for a moment.
"What's your name?" ask Dawn.
"Damon," he replies.
" I'm Dawn," she says. "Do you have some wheels?"
"Not with me," he replies. "I do have a motorcycle."
" Okay, meet me at the University in a couple of minutes," says Dawn. "Then I tell you everything."
"Okay," says Damon.
Dawn arrives at the university and meets up with Willow who is waiting for Tara.
"Hi Willow," says Dawn coming to her. "I just got this project to do and we gotta stay to do some research."
"Dose Giles know about this?" ask Willow.
"No, I just got the project today," says Dawn.
"At what time do want to be picked up?" ask Willow.
"Don't worry about it. I've got a ride," says Dawn as she turns to go. Dawn stops. "Willow"
"Yeah Dawny," says Willow.
"When you tried to bring Angel's soul back did it work?" ask Dawn.
"I think it did," replies Willow. "When he came back he was all right with a soul and all."
"Good," says Dawn. She nods her head.
"Why are you asking?" ask Willow.
"Nothing," says Dawn. "Just wanted to know that's all." Dawn goes up the steps. Willow looks down then at Dawn as she goes up the steps and wonders why Dawn ask about that.
A couple minutes later Dawn runs down the steps toward Damon on his motorcycle. He hands her a helmet and jumps on the bike.
"Hang on," says Damon to Dawn. She wraps her arms around his waist and they rode off.
"Where are we going?" ask Damon as they rode down the street.
"To the cemetery," says Dawn. " Take a left."
"Cemetery!" says Damon.
"You're not afraid are you?" says Dawn.
"Not the least bit," says Damon. "Hey I killed a vampire and all."
"Congratulations you just pass the Scooby test," jokes Dawn indicating about killing a vampire lets you enter the Scooby gang.
They arrive at the cemetery about at four, but daylight didn't seem to make the cemetery look less creepy.
"What are you going to do?" ask Damon as he turns the motorcycle off. Dawn takes off her helmet and hands it to Damon. She gets off the motorcycle.
"We got to wait till sun down," says Dawn. She then hands Damon a wooden stake and a cross.
"Okay, dose this mean what I think it means," says Damon.
"There's nothing to it," says Dawn. "You just stab them in the heart." She demonstrates on Damon. Dawn sits down and waits until the moon comes out.
"Why a cemetery?" ask Damon.
"Only the best place for the dead," says Dawn. Her voice sounds mysterious and scary.
"Dawn are you all right?" ask Damon.
"Yes," she replies. "Stay close."
Night arrives and Damon is looking around to make sure the coast is clear. Dawn goes to a tombstone and stares at it. She turns around with a tear dropping down her cheek. Dawn begins the preparations for the spell and sits down. From her pocket she pulls out a piece of paper and begins to read it. The language is Latin. The winds begin to blow furiously.
"Don't you think this is a little too dangerous?" Damon yells. The winds become stronger. Dawn gets up and the wind pushes her to the ground.
"Dawn," yells Damon. He tries to run to her but trips and hits his head on a tombstone.
Suddenly the winds calm down and stop. Dawn gets up and looks around. Then a rising vampire grabs Dawn from her legs. She screams and Damon hears her. He quickly gets up to save her. Damon punches the vampire hurting his hand. Dawn steps on his foot and runs away.
"Now stake him," says Dawn to Damon. He grabs the stake on the floor and tries to stake the vampire but is not strong enough. The vampire stops him. Damon then pushes the vampire hard making him hit a tombstone. Then Damon stakes the vampire and it turns into dust.
"You know it's not as easy as you think," says Damon to Dawn breathing hard. "What were you trying to do?"
"To find a soul," says Dawn looking at a tomb stone.
"Whose soul?" ask Damon. He looks at Dawn then at the tomb stone that she is looking at. "Who is she?"
"My sister," replies Dawn.
The two left the cemetery. They arrive at Giles place and Dawn gets off the bike.
"If you don't mind me asking," says Damon as Dawn hands him the helmet. "What did it mean she saved the world a lot."
"It's best if you don't know anything," says Dawn. "It could get you killed."
"I think I would like to know what's about to kill me it kills me," says Damon. "Was your sister someone important and involved with these vampires and sorts?"
"Yes, and I was trying to bring her back," says Dawn.
"What was she?" ask Damon.
"A slayer," replies Dawn. She hears the front door of Giles apartment open and quickly walks over towards the door. Dawn enters into the apartment and Giles closes the door leaving Damon outside in the dark.
"The slayer," says Damon to himself. It sounds familiar to him like if he has heard it before. Damon quickly gets on his bike and head toward Casandra's house.
When he arrives at Casandra's he explains to her that he wants to see her books of myths and magic. Casandra didn't ask questions and retrieves the books from her room. The two search for something that only Damon knows about. All of Casandra's books belong to her father and are very ancient. Each book carries a story of a legend that in the modern world exist.
The three can not begin to comprehend about what just happen. Damon quickly gets into the car and Casandra drives away. They arrive at Damon's house and rush into the house.
