Chapter 14
Buffy felt they were all connected somehow. The flying knife, Marcie's suicide, the serial killer in Chicago. They were all pieces on the puzzle. But Buffy wasn't sure how to connect them. Caligo might be able to manipulate impressionable young girls, lost sheep, but could he really make a knife attack her like that. Someone had that power, and Buffy couldn't think who else wanted her dead. Buffy wanted to protect Dawn from this. As annoying as her little sister was she was still family. On Saturday afternoon a cat wandered into the Summers home. They had never seen this feline before. Perhaps the cat had known the previous owners. Dawn took to this cat immediately, within an hour Buffy was also playing with this adorable feline. Joyce was hesitant to let her daughters get too attatched, but soon realized there was little she could do about it. Joyce took the cat to the shelter to make sure it was cean, and see if anyone claimed her. Joyce eventually relented. As long as the cat was clean and bolonged to noone, they could keep it. But Buffy and Dawn had to take care of it. Cats were more independant than dogs, but they still required great care. Buffy told herself that Dawn needed this cat to make her happy, but Buffy also found the feline cute. The three of them tried to think of a name, they finally decided on "Selena" Catwoman's name.
