Ch13…
"Please don't ever leave me alone with that guy ever again."
Dawn swallowed her smile as Kayleigh flopped into her seat next to Dawn in the lecture theatre nodding a hello to Connor; she saved her raised eyebrows for Dawn who shook her head glaring at the newbie slayer.
"I did warn you."
It was true she had warned Kayleigh when she had offered to stay back and keep researching while Gunn took her and Connor back to campus for their classes; both Buffy and Angel had been adamant about them not skipping more lectures. Dawn hadn't minded so much; Spike was still a no show and without him Andrew was just annoying, not entertaining.
"I thought you were exaggerating!" Kayleigh snapped groaning as she searched through her bag for something that was clearly missing. "At one point it looked like Angel was going to throttle him but Buffy whispered something to him and he went all silent broody and sat in the corner with his sketchpad, I still can't believe that guy ever nailed puppies to walls for fun."
Connor narrowed his eyes at Kayleigh who had seemed to forget where she was; the group behind them had now abandoned their conversation and were staring at the group of three. Dawn clenched her teeth and turned to glare at the group of girls.
"Eavesdrop much?"
The self-elected leader of the group sneered at her before setting her eyes on Connor.
"Hey if you ever get sick of those two freaks you should give me a call."
Connor either not noticing or not caring about the girls obvious flirting just shook his head.
"I'm good."
Dawn fixed her best Cordelia glare on the girl turned back to her friends. Kayleigh mouthed a 'sorry' to them, which they both waved off. The puppy on the walls thing was probably the tamest of examples she could have used; at least she hadn't mentioned the fixation on nuns or something.
"Class today we have a guest lecturer who is a seasoned expert in mythology, Ethan Rayne."
The slimy man was just as she remembered, slicked back hair smarmy grin and horrible clothes. Her grip on the small table in front of her tightened. Beside her she could feel Connor grow tense, obviously he remembered the name.
"It's so wonderful to see so many young people interested in mythological studies. Just a quick question how many people here believe in what you have read? Alternate dimensions, demons, magic?"
He winked at Dawn chuckling to himself at her scowl. She was just like her sister. None of the students raised their hands.
"How odd for a group of students interested in mythology. I'll make believers out of you yet."
Oh this was so not good.
