"Just calm down," said Sara.

"CALM DOWN" said a blond girl, "WE CAN'T FIND BUFFY! NO ONE'S SEEN HER, SINCE THE ATTACK!"

"But she's Ok, right" said a young brown haired girl, "I mean she has to be?"

"I'm sure she is, Jamie" Sara said, to the brown haired girl, "I'm sure she'll come to us, when she's ready. He just have to."

"OH SHUT UP, SARA" said the blond, "This is you falut! First you let them take the scythe! Then you lefted her, to die!"

Sara punches her, in the jaw, "She told me to, Heather! She said, it was a faimly thing, and I should leave! Then I find out, you've all been put to sleep, and I have to get you to safety. I can't do it all! I know I'm not perfect, but She put me in charge. Are you saying she's wrong?"

Heather knew this was a trap. If she said no, she had to sudmite to Sara's command. But if she said yes, the others would think her a traitor, and turn on her. She turned , and walked away.

"Alright. We go back to camp, and wait for her. If she gone, I'm sure she has a good reason."

"The other girl, start walking, but Jamie pulls her aside. Jamie was a young girl, about 16/17. Kind of skinny, with sad eyes,"Do you really think she's gone," she said?

"I don't know. She wouldn't just not show up."

"Jamie begins to cry. "what are we going to do? I don't know what to do.."

"We fight" said Sara, "If something did happen, we keep fighting. anything else is a betraly."

"I don't know if I can. The things we have to do. Demons are one thing, but people. It makes me sick. I'm sorry, but it does."

"Hey, if it didn't, I'd start to worry about you. I hate doing these thing to. But we're making a better world. Remember how you came to us."

"I remember."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We see Jamie, laying in a bed. In a room, that seems unfit for a human to live in. She's deathly pale. And like she hasn't slept in days. Suddenly a man walks into the room. "I'm home, darling," he said. His name was Troy. He was a 53 year old, bald, fat man. And he was her, leagel guardian. "Come say hello."

I don't want too."

"Come on, Jamie. I've had a hard day. A very hard day, if you understand me. (she didn't move) You little ingrate. Your not saying no, to me."

"N, no."

"After all I've done for you. Who else would take in, a rape baby, like you?" She hated being called that. But she knew it was true. Her father (whoever he was) had raped her mother, to get her pregnent. That's why she treated Jamie, like a dog, and eventualy abandoned her. She had been boucnecd around, from home, to home. Now she was here, with Troy."

"I gave you a roof" said Troy, "I give you food. Drugs. I take care of you. (Troy unzips his pants) Now you can take care of me.)

"I'm fourteen," said Jamie, in tears."

"Troy punched her hard, in the face, and said, "I'm fourteen," in a mocking voice. "We'll now your a fourteen year old, homeless person. GET OUT! (she goes to pack her bags, but he stops her) Oh no. everything you have, is because of me. So it stays here. In fact, I paid for those clothes too." he grabs her, shirt, and pants, and tries to rip them off, but she knocks him across the room, and takes of, out the door, in tears. "DON'T COME BACK, RAPE BABY! RAPE BABY!"

Jamie walked the streets for hours. Why had she let him do that. If she where normal, she could say it was force. But she was a freak. a freak, with stregnth, no normal person, should have. She'd willingly taken the abuse. For years, Maybe she deserved it. Or maybe she wanted it. Maybe she really was a whore, like everyone said. All she knew, was she wanted out. She couldn't even remember being happy. No, that wasn't true. She was happy, when she was asleep. Peace came easy, then. If only she could sleep, al the time. Wait, she could!

She walked into a drug store, and bought every pill she could find. Then to a liquier store, to buy vodka. She mixes it together, under a bridge. And looked at the glass. "This is the right thing" she thought to herself, "I have no right to live. I ruined my mother's life. I'm a sad excuss, for a human being. The world will be better of. And I'll finnaly be free. Peace. sweet peace."

She reaches for the glass. But a hand grabs it, before she can get it. She looks up, to see a blond woman(we don't see her face). "Is this really what you want, Jamie," said The woman?

"Give me that," said Jamie!

"Don't you even want to know, how I know your name?"

"GIVE ME THAT!!!!" Jamie goes at the girl, with full force, but the woman seems to be as strong as her, and a fighting expert. She's easyly beating Jamie, wile holding the glass, without spilling it. She knocks Jamie down, with a spin kick, and Jamie begins to cry. "Please give it, to meee! You don't understand. I need it. I need it. Please don't make me live!"

"I'm not making you do anything. If you want to kill yourself, go ahead. I just want you to understand, what your giving up. Your not like other people, your diffrent."

"So you know about me. You know I'm a rape baby."

The woman slapes Jamie, and says, "Do NOT ever call yourself that again! Your father was the sinner, not you. And you know what I'm talking about. Your power."

"You know about that?"

"Yes, it's a gift. A gift, from God."

Don't talk to me, about God! Even if he's real, he hates me!"

"Your wrong. He loves you, and favors you. Your not evil. You where born to fight evil."

"Listen, Jesus freak! I don't want your help! I just want to die! The only evil in this world, is people!"

"What if I could prove you wrong?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Buffy, the Vampire Slayer."

"I'm not in the mood, to joke."

"Just come with me. See what I have to show you. Then if you want, you can still kill yourself."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She follows the woman, she knows as Buffy, into a cave. There we see, Sara, and other member, of the R/S/M. There is a woman, with long black hair, and an old fashion dress, in chains. As Jamie gets closer, she sees the woman, face. She's a vampire. "DIRTY SLAYERS" said the chained woman," LITTLE WHORES, YOUR CHEATING! ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE ONE! I Shall be very cross with you, when I get out! (She hisses at Sara) Little bitch, killed Miss Edith! I shall wear you eyes, as ear rings. AAAHHHAAAA HELP ME SPIKE!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHAAAA!"

"Her name's Drusila" said the blond woman, "She's one of the worst vampires, of all time. You see, your a slayer too. That's why you have the power. Your not evil. You kill evil."

She hands Jamie, a stake. "No" said Jamie, "This isn't me. I can't believe this. I"

"You pleased him" said Dru, "The dirty old man, made you his slave. He liked the little ballet outfit. He like to watch you in it, dancing, twirling."

Shut up!"

"His little dirty angel. his little whore."

"SHUT UP!" Jamie plunges the stake, into Dru's heart, before she reallise she's even moved.

"This is what your meant to do" said the blond woman, "She has killed thousands, and would have killed thousands more. You've just saved many lives. God has chossen you, Jamie. Just as he's chossen all, of us. (she hands Jamie, the glass) So, you can kill youself. Die a coward. a wealing. Or you can changen the world. This is where you make a choice. Are you ready to be strong?"

Jamie looks at the glass, for a moment, and poors it on the ground. The other slayer, walk over, and hug her. She's not alone anymore. She's not a rape, baby. She's a Slayer."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She saved me. I'd be dead, without her. She has to be alright."

"If she is, we'll find her" said Sara, "But if the worst has happened, she'll be in heaven. And her name, will live on, though us. (Sara hugs Jamie) We have to be strong. This is a war. We may lose people. Good people, but we WILL WIN. For are God. For the inocent people, that suffer, because of the demons. And for Buffy."
