While Arrianna was running towards the demon, that hurt her sister before, Meghan calls out to her sister:

Meghan- ARRIANNA! STOP IT'S FOR MOM!

Meghan hangs from the tree, her golden hair blowing in the wind.

Arrianna- Stop what?

Just as Arrianna said this Buffy showed up.

Buffy- Meghan!

Buffy starts running towards Meghan.

Meghan- Stop! Don't come any closer!

Buffy- Are you insane, that demon will kill you!

Meghan- That's the whole point.

Buffy- Come on! Let me untie you.

Meghan- No!

She pulls out a knife from by her side.

Meghan- Come any closer and I'll cut myself.

Buffy- Why are you doing this?

Rebecca- It's part of a spell! She's doing a sacrifice! She is taking her life to save yours!

Buffy- WHAT?

Buffy turns to run to Meghan. Rebecca says softly as she grabs Buffy's arm.

Rebecca- Buffy! Please, she is doing this so you can live! She doesn't want to lose you again.

Buffy yanks her arm out of Rebecca's strong grip, as she turns back her blond hair falling around her shoulders, and spots Arrianna in the thick of battle.

Arrianna stands there, sward in hand as she faces the demon. Arrianna's finely honed muscles quiver in the anticipation, bright blue eyes watch the demon for any sign of attacking, golden hair glows softly in the afternoon light, due to the sweat running down her face and neck from her scalp.

The demon launches its self at the young girl. Arrianna had expected this attack, she dodged in between her sister & the demon, the sword was still up until now, the young girl moved with speed and grace, with every few stokes of her sword eating away at the demon's hide. The demon screamed in agony and launched a fist at the sword, grabbing it from Arrianna. As the demon grabbed the sword he pointed it at her and pushed it in her side, making her fall to the ground with a loud thud. Then the demon pulls the sword out and throws it away, and starts running into the clearing, towards the park.

Buffy rushes to the aid of her daughter compressing her hand against the wound, that the sword did. As Buffy is compressing the wound, Meghan cuts herself down. And screams at her sister in furry:

Meghan- Why did you aggravate it, that was are only chance to save mom.

Buffy- Shut up!

Meghan- What!

Buffy- I said, Shut up! Who do you think you are? A slayer! Well you aren't, so just smarten up and help me!

Meghan- Well she's no slayer, if she was she wouldn't have gotten this way.

Buffy- Oh and you think you can do any better!

Meghan- By a matter of fact I do!

Buffy- Well I don't care what you think you can and can't do! Go get some warm water, a blanket, needle, thread, hydrogen peroxide and some cloths, and hurry about it.

Meghan- Fine!

Meghan rushes to the house grabs the stuff and carries it to her mother, carefully not to spill the hot water all over herself.

Meghan- What now?

Buffy- Hold your sister's head up, but not to high.

Meghan- What's that supposed to do; it's her side that's been stabbed.

Buffy- Just do it!

Meghan- No! Rebecca will you please do this, I have something more important to do!

Rebecca- What are you going to do?

Meghan- I'm going to prove to my Mother here, that I know what I am doing, and I am going to do what needs to be done.

She then runs with the sword that she had found on the way to the house, that the demon had thrown away, towards the park to kill the demon. While mending her daughter, Buffy says:

Buffy- Why is she doing this to me?

Rebecca- Because she wants to do what is right!

Buffy- She calls getting herself killed doing what is right! I just don't understand that girl!

Willow- If it makes you feel any better, I could go with her to help!

Buffy- Please!

Willow runs after Meghan. Willow got to where Meghan was she saw Meghan tare off the demon's head with tears in her eyes.

Willow- How did you do that?

Startled she looks over at Willow.

Meghan- Oh it's you! Instant I guess, why?

Willow- Because that looks prow, does your mom know you can do that?

Meghan- Probably not, she's never around, and if she is she's with Arrianna!

Willow- Don't be hard on them, there just trying to get to know each other!

Meghan- I know; It just makes me mad!

Willow- Well we better get back!

Meghan- Ok! Are you hungry?

Willow- No! Why are you?

Meghan- Yeah! I'm a little peckish!

They head back to the others.
