Chapter 242
Dawn spent much of Saturday January 19th with Kit and Carlos. She tried not to think of Conner. Dawn didn't neccessarily blame Conner for what he'd done. He had been faced with an impossible decision, his mother or his girlfriend. But he had put Darla's life over Dawn's, and he would have to live with that decision. Today these three mentioned that it was Obama's last full day as president. None of them followed politics but they knew that much. Around 5pm Carlos and Kit left Dawn. Dawn tried following them covertly. If Carlos was really hurting Kit Dawn would stop him, somehow, but she had to make sure. Besides, if Dawn really was a potential vampire slayer, this might be good training. She followed them back to Carlos' house, they both went to his bedroom. Normally Dawn wouldn't care if they were making love, but she had to make sure Kit was okay. Dawn snuck up to Carlos' window. But Kit snuck up on her. Dawn clearly still needed some practice.
Kit: What are you doing here?
Dawn: I'm sorry, I had to make sure you were okay. I saw the bruises.
Kit: And you thought Carlos did it?
Dawn: Kind of.
Kit: It was my father. Carlos has been letting me stay in his room to be safe. And no, he hasn't tried to seuce me. He sleeps on the floor while I sleep in his bed.
Dawn: I'm sorry.
Kit: Tell noone. And don't tell Carlos what you accused him of. He's a good guy, he doesn't deserve false accussations like that.
Dawn: Okay, I won't say a word.
