Chapter Seven: Silence
Sunnydale
Xander drove the car in complete silence. No one had spoken since they had left the courthouse. Hank Summers had won. They had lost Dawn. Buffy had surprisingly taken it well. Not good, but not hysterical. Dawn on the other hand, had lost it. Her brave face had crumbled. Right now, Buffy was in the backseat comforting the teenager. Tonight was her last night.
Anya sat in the passenger seat. Giles had insisted on driving his own car. Never in a million years had Xander thought they'd lose Dawn. After Glory, well, it just didn't seem possible. They pulled up to the Summers' house on Revello drive. Everyone piled out of the car, no one said a word.
Buffy felt as if her heart had split in two. Tonight Dawn left for LA. She knew Dawn never thought she'd have to go, so she hadn't bothered packing. Now they slowly grabbed a few boxes and went in Dawn's room to pack. Buffy and Giles were going to accompany Dawn on the trip. While she was there she decided she might just see Angel in person. She wasn't looking foreword to it. She started to pile clothes in the box. It wasn't easy. Finally she just stopped, Dawn followed in suit. Both girls headed downstairs.
Giles told Xander and Anya to keep packing. It needed to be done. He saw the sadness in Buffy's eyes, much like his own. Then he did the last thing he ever thought he'd do. He prayed to God, the PTB's, or whoever controlled the universe that they would find Spike soon.
