Unmask: Trial by fire.
by axel

I don't own any of the Joss Whedon character.

NOTE. in the last chapter, I said this story took place 2 years after the last
episoid. But I decided that wasn't long enough for the stroy I wanted to tell, so
I've made it 7 years, placing it around 2010. sorry fore the confusion.

We see Dawn walking into a house, and Buffy is standing there. "Hey Dawnie" Buffy
said, as she walked over to hug Dawn, "I missed you." "I missed you to" said Dawn,
"why didn't you tell me you were moving back?"

"I wanted to surpise you" said Buffy, "but I guess I'm the one surpised. How did
you know I was here?" "Buffy, something's happened, there another Slayer, an evil
one, killing people, and, she's saying she's you."

"What" Buffy laughed, "that's ridiculus." "I know" said Dawn, "but Xander believes
it's really you." "Don't worry Dawn" said Buffy, "I've already taken care of Xander."
"What do you mean, taken care of him," she asked?

Buffy opens a door behind her, and Dawn sees Xander laying on the floor, with his
throat slit. Dawn screams in horror. "Oh, I'm sorry Dawnie" said Buffy, "but I guess
I'm going to have to take care of you to." Buffy then stabs Dawn in the gut, with a
sword.

Dawn woke up inside the van, that she, Willow, Kennedy, and Xander were riding in.
She, Willow, and Kennedy were in the back, and Xander was driving. "You OK," ask
Willow? "Yea" said Dawn, "just a bad dream." "She's innocent," said Willow.

"I know" said Dawn, "It's just, it looks bad, you know. but it's a mistake, and we'll
proof it." "And then the whole world will know, that Xander Harris is a moron," said
Willow. "I'm sitting right hear," said Xander. "Oh right" said Willow, "Xander, soon
the world will know, that your a moron."

"Leave him alone, Will," said Dawn, "This is hard on all of us." "OK, I'm not the one
that bitch slapped him" said Willow, "a secondly, why should we go easy on him, he
wants Buffy to be guilty." That's a lie, and you know it" Xander growled,

"I don't think it's buffy. but I have to know for sure. See I had another friend that
I thought could do no wrong, until she tried to destroy the world!" Suddenly the van
stops (even though Xanders foot is on the gas), the van door opens by it's self, and
Willow gets up. "Fuck you, Xander," she says, as she gets out.

"WILL, WAIT," said Kennedy, as she followed Willow! Dawn, and Xander were quiet for a
minute, then Xander spoke. "I'm sorry Dawn." "Don't" she said, "I get it. I don't like
it, but I understand. There is evidence, and we can't". she begins to cry, before she
can finish, and Xander hugs her. "This is like some nightmare" she cried, "eveyone
hates each other, and Buffy, I just want to wake up." "Me to," said Xander, with a tear
in his eye.

"WILLOW," yelled Kennedy! "Leave me alone," she answered. Kennedy ran in front of
Willow, and said, "Ok, you can't out run a Slayer, Red, especially not in those shoes."
"You heard what he said to me" said Willow, "He was completly out of line."

"Yes, he was" said Kennedy, "But, if you hadn't been such a bitch to him, he wouldn't
have said it." "Oh, you just became a nun," said Willow." "I'm sorry Will, but Buffy
moved to Phoinx, without telling anyone, even Dawn, and, at the same time, this
happens. I'm sorry Willow, I know she's your friend, But if it was anybody else, you'd
have douts to."

"I already do" said Willow, with a defeated tone in her voice, "I hate myself for it,
but I do" Kennedy hugs Willow, who starts crying, "She's my best friend. When she first
got to school, she was nice to me. No one was nice to me back then. Sure, she's not
prefect, but who is. She a good person. And I'm bad, I'm bad for douting her."

"You're not bad" said Kennedy, "If anyone's bad it's her. But maybe there is an
explaination. Maybe once we show that woman Buffy picture, she'll say it's not her, and
that'll be that.

But I do know one thing, Buffy wasn't the only one nice to you in school." "I was kind of
a bitch, wasn't I," said Willow. "I'm not the one you need to say that to," said Kennedy.
Willow, and Kennedy walked back to the van, where Xander, and Dawn where waiting.

"I'm sorry Will" said Xander, "I shouldn't of said that." "Yea, well, I said some things
to" said Willow, I"m sorry Xander." The'll hug, and make up. "OK" said Dawn, "Let's go.
The sonner we prove it's not Buffy, the sooner we can get home. I don't like leaving are
traines alone."

"There Slayers" said Kennedy, "I'm sure they can take care of them selves." "I'm not
worried about them" said Dawn, "I'm worried about my house." "There good girls Dawn" said
Xander, "I'm sure every thing's fine" (We flash to the house, where we see a bunch of
teens, drinking, making out, and Rock, n, Roll all night playing on the stereo, then back
to the van).

Later They pull into a driveway, went up to the door and knock on it. after a moment, the
door opens, and the woman, from the attack steps out. "Missies Andreson," said Willow? "I
can't deal with anymore reporters, please leave," said the woman.

"Oh, we're not reporters" said Willow, "We're." "Goverment agents," said Xander, cutting
Willow off. "You don't look like goverment agents," said the woman. Well, we're dressed as
civilians. Right now, a goverment, or Military presence, might panic people, we're trying
to avoid that."

"I see," said The Woman," and lets them in, "My childern, aren't here, ther in a hospital."
"I thought they weren't hurt." said Willow? "No, I'mean a mental hospital" said the woman,
"There not crazy, or anything, they just need some help dealing with, you know. and I can't
help them, I can't help my family."

"It wasn't your fault," said Willow. "No, It was her's" said The woman, "MY Adam, was the
kindest most gental man in the world. He could walk down the worse streets anywhere. See
drug dealers, prostitutes, thieves, muggers, the worset people imaginable. And say, These
are not bad people, there not evil people, they just haven't been reached yet. But she saw
him as evil, she said he was a sinner. How can they possibly worship the same God."

"Wait" said Dawn, "your saying they were some kind of religious cult." "THEY WERE DEMONS,"
said the woman, in anger! "I'm sorry for your loss maam" said Willow, "but if you could
look at a picture for us, is this the woman." The woman got up to take the picture, for a
seconed, Willow wouldn't let go, then made herself.

The Woman looked at the picture, "uh" she said. "It's her," said Dawn, in horror.

But the woman didn't respond, she just fell over. and then they saw the arrow sticking out
of her back. Then the looked over to the sliding glass door (that had been opened), and
saw a girl, holding a crossbow staindin there.

Kennedy ran at her, and knocked the bow out of her hands. they started fighting, and the girl
was holding her own. Suddenly, four more girls jump on Kennedy, and now she was lossing.
"KENNEDY!" yelled Willow, as she fired lighting from her hands, at the girls, knocking them
down.

But, before she could do anything else, another girl (there Slayers, if you haven't figured
it out yet) crashed though the window, and kicked Willow in the head, knocking her down.
Xander, and Dawn tried to fight off the Slayer. They had both became skilled fighters over
the years, but it was no contest (and Kennedy couldn't help, because the other Slayers had
gotten up, and were pounding on her again.

Willow tried to get up, but her head was spining (after all, as powerful as she was, she
still had the body of a normal girl, and a Slayer had just kicked her in the head.) and she
just fell back down.

"She told us you'd come," said one of the Slayers (the one that kicked Willow). "Who," said
Dawn. "Buffy of coarse," she answered. "You don't know my sister," said Dawn, in anger. The
Slayer punched Dawn hard, in the face. Xander tried to help, but got punched to.

"If you want to live" said the Slayer, "never call her your sister again. you were never her
sister. Your an evil thing, that she was brainwashed into believing was her sister. You all
brainwashed her, with your black magic. But God saved her, showed her the light of heaven.
and soon, you'll all be sent screaming to the pits of HELL!"
