Title: Flicker spoilers: through "the Gift" summary: a series of poems from Dawn's POV when Giles is sent to a mental ward disclaimer: with part 1

everything happens for a reason

I had always thought that this was bull

I had always thought that there was no reason for horrible things to happen

look at Mom did that have a reason?

I walked down the street worried

looking for Giles

he stood in the middle of the road

for no reason

"Giles!" I screamed

he turned tilted his head and blinked and then he slowly came towards me

"Dawn" he smiled it was off "do you know where Buffy is?"

he was almost gone again

I panicked Buffy would know what do to she would make it better

"Magic Box" I said

he ran

so did I

he's surprisingly fast dammit why couldn't I be in Track?

there's a reason my ass

we both burst through the door the bell knocked right off the wall
