"Dawn...?" His voice shook with fear.
The vampire smiled down at him – evilly, she hoped – then ran her fingers along his jawbone to the pulsing vein in his neck, licking her lips. "What, sweetie?"
"Dawn."
"Yeah, what?"
Xander was still dizzy from the beating, but pointed at something. "DAWN."
"WHA... oh, shit." Dawn let go and ran for cover from the rising sun, smoke trailing behind her.
"Nope. Didn't find her. And she definitely didn't beat me up and almost f... kill me. 'Cause, you know, Dawn couldn't do that."
