The hospital doors burst open. Buffy and Willow running in out of breath.
"Someone! Please! Help!" Buffy yelled into the crowd.
"Now!" Willow added.
They laid Dawn down on a stretcher and untied the jacket around Dawn's waist while wheeling her through the hall. Buffy and Willow at their sides. Her pulse was fast. Breathing even heavier then when they found her. They rolled up her blood soaked shirt just enough to see the wound.
The doctor was making the nurses take note of her situation.
"Patient is on the verge of passing out, weak but fast pulse, somewhat delirious." One of them said. Opening Dawn's eyes and looking into them with a light.
"We have to get her into surgery." One of the doctors said.
"Right" Buffy replied.
"Buffy? Willow?" Dawn started to say deliriously, then got herself worked up.
"BUFFY! WILLOW!" She yelled, breathing faster and faster.
"Dawn hold still. Dawn." Buffy said trying to keep her down.
"Dawnie it's alright" Willow said trying to calm her down.
The surgeons sedated her. Leaving her to rest. Buffy and Willow followed her until they took her through 2 doors when they said they couldn't come any farther.
The doors closed and the stretcher turned the corner. Buffy immediately broke down and fell to her knees crying.
"She'll be ok Buffy. Just let it out" Will said rubbing her back.
She sat there for a while. On the floor. Clinched in Willow's arms. Crying.
-------- Walking on the sidewalk back home-------
Buffy started to collapse but not before Willow caught her.
"Whoa, you okay?" she asked holding her up.
Buffy put a hand to her head and looked at the ground.
"Um, could...we just...sit a minute will? I'm a...a little weak right now"
"Sure, sure. C'mon, there's a bench. I'll help you too it."
She helped Buffy limp to the bench by the grass and sat her down.
She sighed in relief.
"Oh no. You're weak? Well...that makes it no fun." A voice came from behind.
Willow and Buffy looked behind them. Seeing Faith standing there with her arms crossed and a sly smile.
"Willow run" Buffy whispered. Willow ran.
She got up slowly and stared at Faith.
"You almost killed my sister" Buffy said with anger in her voice.
"Oh, did I? I'm so sorry B...I'll make sure she dies next time." Faith replied
Buffy's teeth clenched.
All of a sudden she lunged at Faith. Going for her neck.
It seemed like the longest fight, but it was only a few minutes until Faith pinned Buffy to the ground.
"You know if I wouldn't to kill you, you would have already been dead." Faith leaned closer to Buffy face. "I'm not after YOU...Well, actually I am, but, I don't want to kill you. I want you to suffer. Watch your friends die and suffer." Faith said getting up running away.
Willow Buffy thought while still on the ground. Jumping up and running as fast as she could to find Faith. She ran and ran until she saw Willow. On the ground.
She ran to her and fell next to her cut body. But no knife.
All of a sudden Buffy was knocked over, flying across the grass. She got back up and looked in Willow's direction. There she was. Faith. Holding a knife to Willow's throat.
What's gonna happen!!!!
