Chapter 2:


“I don’t need Buffy.” I said then took off.

The three vampires ran after me.

“They are going to catch up to me.” I thought.

“RUN, JUST RUN” I yelled at myself.

I saw a building and ran for it. I got inside with the three of them right behind me.

I ran to the back of the dark building hoping that their was an exit, but all I ran into was a wall. That’s when I heard the vampire laugh.

“Looks like there is no where to run little girl.” the vampire said.

I couldn’t say anything, because I knew that the evil vampire was telling the truth.

They moved in on me.

I was scared.

They grabbed me.

I punched one in the face, but another one took his place.

I struggled to get free.

It didn’t help.

I screamed.

Nobody heard.

One of them grabbed my neck and they twisted it so hard I heard it crack.

I closed my eyes.

The world slowed down around me.

“This is the end.” I thought as I felt the vampire’s breath on my neck.

I felt them let go of me and then I heard a couple of crashes. My eyes snapped open.

The things that I saw surprised me more than anything.

“What? How?” I grasped.

“GET OUT!!” I heard someone yell. It was so loud that it caused me to fall to my knees and hold my ears.

I looked up trying to see who had saved me, but I saw nothing. All I saw were the vampires getting up from where they were thrown.

One of them said to the vampire that was talking to me earlier, “Victor, what should we do?”

Victor looked around and then he looked straight at me and he said, “This isn’t over, baby. Not be a long shot.” then he walked out of the building with his friends right behind him.

I got up with weak knees and looked around the dark empty building. I stood there for a minute before I heard some say in a very soft voice, “Get out…please.”

“Where…who are you?” I asked.

“Just leave me be.” the guy’s voice said.

“Why did you save me?” I asked.

“You needed help.” was all he said.

“Are you invisible?” I asked again trying to get a straight answer.

They was no reply. I stood there for 5 minutes waiting. Then I figured that he had left.

I walked out of the building and started to head home.

I turned around and memorized what building I was just in, so I could come back if I needed to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got to my door and decided to walk inside and go straight to my bedroom.

I wasn’t that lucky, because Buffy was in the living room waiting for me.

“Dawn, where have you…” Buffy trailed off looking at my clothes, “What happened?” she demanded.

I looked down at my clothes and noticed that I was covered in dust and my shirt was ripped.

“I…uh…ran into trouble.” was all I said and tried to smile.

“You what? What happed? Buffy said more calmly this time knowing that I was alive.

I told her exactly what happened and then I was sent to my room to go to sleep, because I had school the next day.

I laid in my bed trying to go to sleep, but something felt weird. I just ignored it and just fell asleep.



Dawn didn’t notice that her bedroom door opened and then closed.
