Dawn woke up, but her eyes kept closed. She felt someone holding her hand
and she heard talking..
"Angel how is she here? She died that night, I'm sure of it."
Buffy! It was her sister. She was back home!!!!
"Spike came back Buffy so maybe she came back too," she heard Angel say.
"I hope someone caught the licence on that Semi," Dawn groaned.
"Dawnie?!" Buffy said.
Dawn opened her eyes and squinted against the light. She saw her sister and then she engulfed Buffy in a big hug which the slayer equally returned.
"I'm gonna hurl," A man said from the back.
"Shove it Grease-Ball. No one asked you to be here," Dawn said.
The guy raised an eyebrow.
"You heard my sister. Get out of here Snapey," Buffy said and the man left.
"I'll leave you two alone," Angel said kissing Buffy then leaving.
"When did that...ya know, happen?" Dawn asked as she sat up.
"A while ago. We're engaged and Connor's my son," Buffy said.
"Wha?" Dawn asked.
Buffy laughed. Dawn smiled then she noticed the scar running down her sister's face and the scars on her neck.
"What happened?" Dawn asked.
Buffy remembered that Dawn had died before Spike had gone all nuts.
"Some other time," Buffy said.
She even had trouble reliving it herself and she wasn't in the mood to tell the story. Buffy hugged her sister again.
"Good to have you back.....Even if you're an annoying lil' sis," Buffy joked.
"Hey us Summers women can't stay dead huh?" Dawn joked.
They both smiled.
"Hope I'm not intruding," A voice said from behind.
Dawn looked and saw a guy who looked like a stero-type wizard.
"Wicked," She said.
"You sound like Faith," Buffy said scrunching her nose.
"You're mean," Dawn pouted.
"Dawn this is Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore this is Dawn, my sis," Buffy introduced and they nodded to eachother.
"So what's the what?" Both Summer's girls asked.
Dumbledore chuckled.
"A few students saw the portal, and with Dawn becoming a student it's gonna cause some questions," Dumbledore said.
"Woah! I'm a student now? Sweetness!" Dawn said.
"You'll have to get sorted Dawnie," Buffy said then saw her sisters face. "Later. Okay so what do you think we should do?"
"Well I think you should tell it all since you haven't explained the slayer thing either," Dumbledore said.
Buffy nodded.
*****
Dawn and Buffy walked into the room that they now shared at Dawn's request. Dawn pulled Buffy to their beds and sat across from her older sister.
"Tell me what happened now," Dawn said.
"Dawn-" Buffy said trying to avoid this happening.
"Buffy I-" Dawn started then there was a knock at the door.
Buffy got up and opened the door showing that it ws Harry standing there.
"Dumbledore told me to get you two. Dawn's gonna get sorted before dinner," Harry said apoligeticly.
"Come on Dawnie," Buffy said as her sister came over.
"You know I'm not gonna let you sleep until I get it outta you," Dawn said as she walked next to ther sister and Harry.
"Tonight, swear," Buffy said as they walked into Dumbledore's office.
*****
Dawn got sorted into Gryffindor and started hanging out with Harry during that dinner.
*****
That night.......
"Buffy-"
"Dawn can't we do this tomorrow."
"Buffy."
"Dawn."
"Buffy"
"Dawnie please."
"Buffy! I'm serious tell me. It's not like I can tell the other scoobies cos hell their dead. Tell me."
"Dawn-"
"BUFFY!"
"I'm gonna go for a walk," Buffy got up to leave.
"BUFFY!!" Dawn yelled as her sister reached the door.
"Spike did it Dawn," Buffy said then walked out leaving her sister in shock.
Buffy walked to the courtyard and sat on the stairs.
*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*
"Dawn's never going to forgive you Spike if she finds out what your doing," Buffy said a bit of blood coming from her mouth.
"Shut up!" Spike cried as he kicked the slayer in the stomach again." It's your fault she's dead."
"Yeah cos you were the one who was supposed to be watching her that night." Another kick. "She snuck out while you were dead ass drunk." Kick. "It's your fault my sister is dead Spike." a harder kick that flipped Buffy in the air. "Go to hell Spike."
"I'm already there," Spike said starting to feel off of Buffy who could only sit there while he sucked her blood.
*~*~*
A chill went through the air. Buffy didn't even notice as the air shifted around her. Harry took off the invisibility cloak and sat next to his professor who didn't even look at him, just started into nothing ness.
"You alright Buff?" Harry asked.
Buffy didn't answer just kept staring.
"You want me to get Angel? He's probably in his room awake," Harry asked.
"No. It's alright. I'm fine," Buffy smiled but didn't turn to Harry. "You should go to bed. You have classes tomorrow. It's almost Friday. Finish classes then go party."
Harry noticed that her smile had no heart in it. Her eyes didn't carry that spark anymore. He just nodded then walked back inside feeling a bit sad and mostly worried for his DADA professor.
*****
When Buffy came back to her room, Dawn was asleep. Buffy covered her sister with the blankets then curled into her own bed. Buffy was almost asleep when she felt Dawn curl up next to her. She hugged her sister then drifted off to sleep.
*****
Whistler visited Buffy in her dream.
"Hey slayer."
"Hey Whisy. What's up?"
"Nothing really. Just came to give you a message, a reminder, from the PTB."
"Rant on Cryptic man."
Whistler laughed. "Okay so the bottom like is, even if you don't see `em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we? Helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards Slayer, that counts. That's when you find out who you are. Soon Buffy, you'll see what I mean. A big day is coming. Bigger than Spike, bigger than Glory, bigger than anything you've faced. The question is what are you gonna do? What are you ready to give up?"
"We already had this conversation whistler when I faced Angelus."
"This is different Buffy. Be ready. Like I said before, and I'll say it again. You're alone. No matter how many people are there fighting with you. You're always alone Slayer."
Buffy awoke as the sun started rising. Then a moment later her alarm clock rang.
"Whistler," Buffy said through gritted teeth.
"What about him?" Dawn asked waking up.
"Nothing. Come on let's get up," Buffy said ushering her sister up.
*****
"He can be annoying can't he?" Angel asked smiling as he drank his pig's blood.
"Understatement of the century. What was really weird was the fact that I understood him," Buffy said.
"That's a new one. You actually listened to someone long enough to understand them. Put that one in the book of world records," Wesley smirked.
"Wes," Buffy said giving him a Ripper-Glare of her own.
Wesley put his hands up in surrender.
"What did he say?" Angel asked.
Buffy pauses before answering," Things."
"What kind of things?" Wesley asked.
"Nutting important. Nothing I didn't already know," Buffy said playing with her food.
"Come on Buffy how big of an idiot do you think I am?" Wesley said rolling his eyes.
Buffy looked at him with her eyebrows raised.
"Don't answer that," Wesley said.
"Good cos then we would be here for hours," Buffy said tuning back to her food.
Cordy let out a laugh at that one.
