Prologue: pt.6
/ "I'm leaving for England. I'm a watcher, and without a slayer, I have no place here anymore."/
/ Pink scratchy, coffin, darkness, ground, mud, panic, screams, struggles. Punch. Kick. Scratch. Dig. Up, up, up. Reach for breath. Can't breathe, need air. Not much staleness left. Dig, reach. Void, breathe, gasp, pull, out. Headstone. Fire, flames, ugly skin, and herself in chains. Pulled apart.
"Buffy! Noooo!" pulled apart.
Run. Hide. Kick. Hit. Done. Where? Home? Alley behind the Bronze.
…"Why are you following me?"…
Sink down against the wall.
…"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I don't bite."…
People are coming. Hide, stay still. Don't look. Who are they? What do they want? I can't hear them. Pain, sting, scratch, breathe. Don't touch me. Who are they? What are they saying. Demons, skin. Piercings, mean evil. Don't touch.
… "What if I don't want a friend?"…
Friendly? Weapons, laughs, cackles. Evil, bad. Stand, not in charge, she takes over.
…fightanddie…
punch. Kick. Hit, slash, toss, bang. Bump, catch, it, smack, attack, punch, throw, squeeze. Demons all gone.
… "I didn't say I was yours."…
Don't touch me- I said don't touch. Why can't they hear me?
Where's home. I can't find home. Home was here, and he left and I died. Who am I? Where? Whimper. Run. Look, find, see. Can't find home. Climb. I was here. Where is here? Where is home.
… Jumping. Falling? Flying? Heaven? ...
Not home. Down walk, jump, leap, ground. Ouch. Where's home? Where'd he go?
Jump, run, kick, find, look, feel. Follow the pull home. Run, breath, sit, run, don't stop till you get home, where.
Fire, flames, can't find. Four pulls. Which one? Close one. Where. Find. Brownish hair, teary eyes?
"Buffy?"
Am I Buffy? Yes I'm Buffy. I'm here? Where's here? Where am I? James?
Hug kiss, struggle, cuddle, walking. House, familiar, shake head, stop look, listen. Home? Almost.
"Ho-ome?"
"Buffy, it's Dawn- your sister. Buffy, you're in Sunnydale. We'll get you home soon, okay?" Prongs?
Nod, will go home.
Bleached blonde. Yell, bathroom, clean the cuts. Ouch. Hurts, stings, bends knuckles. Cuts, blood. I can't feel it.
… "Dammit, Angel! Drink!"…
Angel. He's home. Where's home. I wanna go home.
/ "Mommy?!" "Buffy… Oh my God! You're back!"/
/ "Dawnie, I was in heaven, and they pulled me out of it." "Oh, Buffy…"/
Note:
The scoobies never called Giles to tell him that she was back because they didn't want to cause him any pain if she died again soon. I am aware that it wouldn't happen that way, but work with me here. Pretend that he was never notified.
He knows of the wizarding world because he was one, but being a watcher, his father took him out before he could finish his seven years, and he was strictly trained on how to be a Watcher.
He went to Hogwarts, and was a noticeably good student, but work with me here.

/ "That's right, you came back wrong, slayer."/
/ "I-its Angel. H-he knows. I have to go see him, now."/
/ Buffy?" "Hey." "They don't know, do they?" "What?" "Don't play dumb with me Buffy, you haven't told them." "I can't. They're so happy that they took me out of hell, that they can't see it." "Oh, Buffy..." "I can't fit in there anymore, not that I ever really did." "Shh..." "I was done. Finished. I didn't have to fight anymore." "You need to tell them." "I can't."/
/"I love you Buffy." "I love you too my Angel." "Forever." "That's the whole point." "Buffy, you still" "Always."/

"Hope, do you have any sisters?"
