Chapter 2
Buffy and Dawn packed quickly. It was the middle of the night and they tried to be quiet. They were less worried about waking their neighbors than about other things. It wasn't likely that Glory's minions were around, they probably wouldn't take on a slayer without Glory around. But Buffy and Dawn had to be cautious. Dawn was the key, Glory was going to use her to break down the dimensional barriers, not caring that all life in this world would be destroyed. Since Buffy wasn't strong enough to take on Glory she had a different plan, flee. Glory needed Dawn, if they left town Glory lost. Buffy knew they could never return. If Glory couldn't use the key she would have rage issues, take it out on this town probably. There was something else Buffy considered, but didn't want to tell Dawn. Giles loved Dawn, but he was a watcher, they could be ruthless. What would Giles do to Dawn to prevent her from being used by Glory. Dawn shouldn't have to think what Giles might do to her. Buffy knew some of her memories of Dawn were made up, she wasn't sure which ones. But Dawn was her sister, however long she'd been here Buffy would protect her whatever it took.
