chapter 74

Buffy returned to school on Thursday September 27th. Every student, and a few teachers, were staring at her. They often stopped talking when she came around. Buffy could tell, they thought she was a freak. Buffy asked Willow how many days until graduation. Willow said 252. Buffy looked forward to getting out of here. During her lunch hour Buffy went to see Mr. Giles.

Buffy: I need you to train me.

Giles: You want my help?

Buffy: I need it. Dana was a potential slayer, wasn't she?

Giles: I believe so. Dana was insane, and I believe manipulated by the forces of evil.

Buffy: Are my mom and sister potential slayers?

Giles: Dawn yes. Your mother no. It seems you are descended from Sinea on your father's side.

Buffy: If I do this, we need to keep them out of it. I decide when to start training Dawn. This is about protecting them.

Giles: Understood. We can begin training this afternoon.

Buffy: Okay then, I'm in.
