Chapter Two: The Aftermath of Willow's Free For All

Sunnydale

       Buffy and Dawn walked to the Magic Box in silence. When they reached what was left of Willow's free for all, they were greeted by Anya and a badly hurt Giles.

       "Buffy, Dawn, you're alive!" the vengeance demon looked shocked.

       "You seem so surprised." Dawn grinned at her sister's comment. Her happiness was short lived as she got a good glimpse of Giles.

       "Oh my god! What did she do to you?"

 Dawn knelt down next to the fallen watcher and cried silently. When she didn't get an answer she turned to her sister, who had joined her next to Giles. She listened to her sister's chant. Over and over the slayer mumbled, "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you. Willow, oh God oh God. I'm so sorry." After about the fourth time, Dawn's leadership qualities got the best of her.

"Anya, call an ambulance." Anya left to do what she was told, but when she reached the phone, it was smushed. Dawn lost her patience. "Anya, I don't hear you dialing."

"Dawnie, there's no phone. Willow killed it." Dawn looked at Giles and gritted her teeth.

"Anya, call an ambulance."

"But the phone-" Dawn didn't want any excuses.

"Then call from a different phone." Each word was laced with annoyance. She turned around sharply and knelt back down next to her sister.

"Buffy, right now I need you to be strong. Help me start moving things around. I don't want Willow to get any satisfaction when she sees the damage she's done." A weak reply came from the doorway.

"Oh Goddess! How did I, oh God, Giles!" Buffy, Dawn, and a weak Giles turned to the doorway, or what was left of it. Xander stood there supporting a weak Willow. Dawn snapped.

"How dare you come here after trying what you did? Get out." Willow just stood there. "Get out, Get Out, GET OUT!" Willow remained still. Xander turned to look at the group.

"Dawnie, do everyone a favor. Right now, forget it. We'll deal with Willow later." Dawn's icy glare glazed through him.

"Are you defending her?" Her voice was cold and hard.

Xander let go of Willow and pulled Dawn into a hug. His head rested on top of hers as he talked.

"No, she's wrong and she knows it. She WILL have to deal with her action, but not now. Look at Giles. Let's get him safe, okay?" Dawn managed a weak nod. Both of them jumped when they heard a loud thump. Willow had fallen over and was now in a catatonic state.

Anya had gone next door and called the ambulance. She could already hear the siren. She walked into the Magic Box.

"Dawn, they're on their way." She froze. Buffy was holding Giles and crying. He weakly held her back. Dawn and Xander were enthralled in watching a lump on the floor. As she got closer she saw it was Willow.

"Dawn! Dawn! Xander!!" Both jumped at the loud tone of her voice. Xander mad a sigh of relief.

       "Anya, you're okay!" She smiled at the though of him being worried. Dawn's attention seemed to snap back again.

       "Anya, the ambulance?" She got her reply in a couple of paramedics.

       "Where's the injured?" Anya brought one to Giles while the other was directed to Willow. The paramedic was talking to Buffy.

       "Miss, calm down. He's going to be fine. We just need to take him to the hospital, okay?" Dawn noticed Buffy hadn't let the paramedic near Giles. She went to help.

       "Buffy, it's okay; he's just going to help Giles. I need you to let him go." Buffy nodded slowly and looked up. The paramedics did their job and brought both Giles and Willow to the hospital. Xander followed with Buffy and Dawn. Anya just teleported.
