Challenge proposed by littleoldme off of TtH!
----------------------
I decided to keep going with the story instead of writing a sequel… I hope that's alright!
----------------------
You can't take her away, she's needed here!
There's no place for her to go!
And what makes you think she's better off with you?
We're not saying she'll stay with us forever. Our dad wanted to us to find her so he could meet her, at least give him that.
You're lying, what aren't you telling us?
He knows something is wrong here. He wanted us to take Joyce and Buffy away.
You mean before that thing killed her?
We didn't know it was going to happen. Our dad really does want to meet her, and wouldn't it be best for her to get away from this place for awhile?
Why didn't you react to the magic books?
We know about it, but we're not evil. We really just want to help Buffy.
----------------------
Buffy really didn't remember the conversation that took place that night. From what she could remember, she didn't want to remember. She had watched her mom die and she was powerless to stop it from happening.
She remembered Sam carrying her from the house as it burned to the ground. She told Dean to take her to Giles. That's where it got fuzzy. Giles wasn't alone when they arrived. Willow and Xander, for sure. Anya maybe?
They wanted to know what happened and Dean told them. She remembered Willow hugging her, but then rounding on Dean when he suggested they take Buffy away for awhile.
The Scoobies were against it, Buffy was sure of it, but she made no move to calm them down. Willow argued, though they couldn't tell Dean and Sam that Buffy was the slayer, she was still needed in Sunnydale because her family was here.
Buffy sat through the whole conversation on the couch, staring straight ahead while Xander and Willow tried to defend the rights of Buffy.
Dean wasn't going to be persuaded as he reminded them that their dad was probably going to be the deciding vote in where Buffy stayed.
She remembered that Giles hadn't said a word.
Buffy was snapped out of her daze when everyone turned to look at her when Giles finally spoke.
"Buffy, what do you want to do?"
They waited expectantly for Buffy to speak. She hadn't said a single word the entire time, but no one really seemed to notice as they fought over where she should be.
They weren't prepared for what she had to say next.
"I want to meet him."
After she spoke, she definitely remembered their reactions. Willow had almost broken into sobs as she hugged Buffy fiercely. Xander stood with hismouth open and Giles had only smiled and nodded. His reaction had hit Buffy the greatest.
Could she really leave her life behind, even if only for a few months? Could Sunnydale survive without their slayer?
After hearing her reasons, Willow had tried her best to understand, but she wouldn't let go of the fact that they knew about the supernatural. Even Buffy was interested in knowing.
A vague story was told, but it seemed to calm their nerves. Their dad was attacked, but he was able to escape and had started looking into the myths that were suddenly real.
The Scoobies had come to terms that their best friend was leaving, and the brothers had to come to terms that they had a little sister.
What neither group had expected was that Buffy wanted to have more than just words with her father.
----------------------
"She still hasn't said a word," Dean commented. Every so often he would turn away from his driving to check on Buffy, but she remained in the same position, looking out the window with her hands in her lap.
"And dad still isn't picking up," Sam sighed as he slammed the phone shut with his hand. "What are we supposed to do?"
"We keep calling and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Dean answered. "Which, as long as we don't check on any sites for any news, won't be for a while."
Buffy shifted in her seat as the sun hit her eyes. She blinked once and looked at Dean as he talked to Sam.
"Where are we?"
Dean turned to look at her, happy to see her moving, before his eyes settled on the road again.
"We're in Nevada," Dean answered.
"Are you taking me to meet him?" Buffy asked. It was hard to keep the venom out of her voice when she talked about her dad. Her brothers, when they saw her mom on the ceiling, they were accepting of something that shouldn't have been happening.
Even if they knew about demons, they seemed to be familiar with what happened. And Buffy just knew that John Winchester was connected with all of this.
"We don't exactly know where he is," Sam sighed.
"Then where are we going?"
"We're heading to our old town," Sam answered. "There's someone there who may know where he is."
"I need to know," Buffy said. "I left my friends to find my dad; I have the right to know."
Buffy watched as her brothers shared a look with each other. That seemed to happen more often now that she was around. Sam turned around in his seat, ignoring the look Dean was giving him.
"Her name is Missouri," Sam spoke slowly. "She lives in Kansas and she's, well, she's a psychic."
If they had expected Buffy to blow up, then they were wrong. "What kind of psychic? Mind reading, telekinesis?"
"She can see the future, in a way," Sam nodded. "Depending on her mood, she may tell us where dad is."
Buffy only nodded and turned away from her brothers. She didn't hate them, she couldn't and she knew it. They may have seemed more calm that her about her mom dying, but they were only following their dad's orders.
"You're taking this rather calmly," Dean finally spoke again.
"Well, you did snoop through Willow's things, so I assumed you knew that I already knew about this stuff," Buffy said as she let the littlest of a smile appear on her face.
"Care to explain that?"
"Not really, but we are a family, so this is share time I guess," Buffy sighed. "It's not that long of a story though. Willow is a witch, yes, but she's not evil, which I already told you. Giles knows about this and taught her the basics when we were high school. After that, we just found out about the other things."
"And that's how you know how to fight so well and deliver those hard as hell moves?" Dean smirked. "I think we'll accept that for now."
"Gee, thanks," Buffy didn't event try to hide her smile. Even when she felt like her whole world had crashed; the two people she just met could easily keep her sane. She could definitely enjoy having two older brothers.
"You tired?" Sam asked when he noticed Buffy yawning. "We can pull over."
"I don't want to be rude," Buffy smiled. "Dean seemed so determined to drive the whole way."
They were already pulling over to the nearest motel before Buffy could protest again. Even if they wanted to drive, she'd happily sleep in the backseat.
"You're our baby sister," Dean said as he got out of car. "I'm taking care of you and I have a lot to catch up on. So, if you want to stop, then we'll stop."
"It's just best to listen to him," Sam sighed. "He did it to me when we were younger. And it probably doesn't help that you're his sister instead of brother. He feels he has to protect you."
Buffy got out of the car and waited as Dean and Sam got the rooms. Well, she hoped for two different rooms because she really needed her privacy, especially if she wanted to sneak out for a little slaying.
She didn't really have time to grieve after her mother's death, but she knew she could take it out on the vampires and demons if she came across them. And she didn't want her brothers to find out the truth.
While she waited, she decided to get her bags from the trunk. She was fortunate that Dean left the keys in the car. After she reached in and turned the car off, she unlocked the trunk. She found her bag alright, but she also found something that looked like a homemade trap door.
She lifted the cover and gasped.
----------------------
"I completely agree that we get her a separate room, but how do we convince her to spread the salt around the door?" Sam asked as they walked back to the car.
"We'll find a way," Dean answered. "We could wait until she falls asleep, break in and spread the salt around and climb out the bathroom window."
Sam rolled his eyes and sighed. Sometimes Dean could be a little too much.
"Don't worry, we'll think of something."
"I hope so because--" Sam stopped mid sentence when he heard Buffy gasp. They found her standing at Dean's trunk, staring at the huge assortment of weapons.
"So I take it you guysand dad did more than just learn about the supernatural?" Buffy asked when she noticed them staring at her. "Explainy please?"
"I found our answer to telling her about the salt," Dean nodded.
----------------------
Did you really think I'd leave you hanging? Next up, Dean and Sam tell Buffy the truth… sort of…
Anyone have any ideas for chapters until they reach Kansas? Feel free to share!
Read and review please!
