"Looks like dancing is going to have to wait for a while," Buffy said in a
huff as she heard a scream coming from a graveyard they were passing.
Buffy and Spike both ran into the graveyard hoping to fight off whatever it
was in a hurry.
"So, you think we should help?" Drake asked innocently.
Dawn could see that he wasn't asking to help though, he wanted to fight. Something about slayer's she thought, nothing but the fight. She laughed to herself as she said, "Yeah, we can go."
Before Dawn had had time to finish, Drake was running full force with Dawn in toe trying to catch up. When they finally caught up with Buffy and Spike, and it was full scale war. Buffy was fighting bringers, Spike was fighting bringers, as was Faith, who had appartently been out on patrol. They were trying to fight off over fifteen bringers by themselves. So Drake looked back at Dawn thoughtfully and reached into his coat, he handed her the shotgun and a box of shells. "Think you can fend for yourself for a minute while I help?"
"Will do," she remarked, almost as if taking an order.
Drake quickly jumped in and went to fighting alongside the three others. Dawn was watching, but noticed behind the four of them, was a terrified girl cowering behind a tombstone. She realized then what had happened, Faith had found a potential and was trying to protect her until she could get her to the house. So Dawn quickly ran over to the girl and asked her if she was okay. She only got a nod from the girl, but a nod would have to do for now, as she turned her attention back to the fight.
Drake and Spike had fallen in side by side, fluidly fighting off four bringers each. Slowly but surely, they would kill one, Drake was first, with one quick snap he had broken the Bringers neck. Buffy and Faith had taken an opposite approach and pinned seven bringers between themselves and went to beating the holy hell out of them all. By the time that they had finished off theirs, Drake and Spike were just standing there watching with a smile. In the midst of all this, what was missed, was a bringer had snuck up behind Dawn and the new potential. As Buffy and Faith had finally finished their last Bringer, they heard the shotgun blast. They turned just in time to see Dawn reloading and standing over a dead Bringer, missing it's head.
They all ran to the new potential, and Drake and Buffy ran to Dawn's side slightly after. Dawn stood over top of the motionless Bringer waiting for any more, "Tried to stab me, you bastards, come on, try to stab me again, I dare you."
Drake and Buffy laughed as they watched her fury while she scanned the surrounding scenery for something else to shoot. Drake quietly stepped up to her side and placed one hand on the gun, lowering it down and taking it back. "Nice to see you can use this thing after all, I was afraid you would shot yourself in the foot."
"Got lucky, I was aiming at his knee." Dawn said with a smile.
Buffy took in what she had just said, looked at the headless Bringer and then back at Dawn, "Aim at all there knees from now on then, cause that's a hell of a shot."
They all looked back at the girl that Spike and Faith had calmed, and then back at each other. Drake looked at Dawn especially and softly said with a chuckle, "Looks like dancing's going to have to wait a little longer than we thought."
"So, you think we should help?" Drake asked innocently.
