Dawn knelt next to Willow as she heard everyone else running up the stairs. Xander was the first one to get to the broken doorway. Looking at the wall then slowly looking to Willow, he said "Dawn what happened? Did something break in?"
"No…I-uh" dawn started but was still too shocked.
By now, everyone else had crowded into the room and around the doorway.
"If nothing broke in then what happened?" Kennedy asked hurrying to Willow's side.
Dawn looked around at everyone lost for words, hoping for someone to understand. Finally, Xander got a surprised look on his face and stared at Dawn with his mouth open. Dawn nodded at him.
Everyone else looked at either Dawn or Xander wanting to know.
Ignoring everyone else, Xander said, "You did this?"
Dawn just nodded again as everyone else looked at her.
"How?" asked one of the potentials.
Willow, who had just come back to consciousness, said, "She is the new slayer."
Everyone stared at Dawn no one spoke. Finally, someone suggested that they go downstairs where there was more room and they did, helping Willow down the stairs.
"I don't understand," said Xander for the fifth time, "If Dawn was a potential how come we didn't know earlier? I mean, Will, your spell went right through her and to Amanda."
"No," said Kennedy, "It made both Dawn and Amanda light up or whatever. We just all assumed that it was only Amanda."
Dawn was still mad at Willow and Xander and now they were all talking about her as if she was not even there. Getting off the couch, she went to the door and said "I'm going for a walk."
"You can't that ubervamp is still out there." Said Willow
"Yeah you shouldn't go out alone." Said Xander
'Oh so now they are all worried about me.' Thought Dawn then she said, 'I can take care of myself. I do not need you to making plans for me to get killed. Besides, I am the slayer aren't I?" with that, she stepped outside and slammed the door shut. Running as fast as she could she started heading towards the cemetery. Maybe Spike could help her…
