Tara and Anya made a fruitless attempt at repairing the door, within ten minutes they gave up and left the door lying on the floor in the middle of the doorway. Willow and Xander sat at the Magic Box table starring into the space above the other’s heads. Giles was in the backroom supposedly overseeing Faith’s training session but he too was staring into space. No one had spoken a word about the argument that occurred many hours ago. Only the shattered remnants of a crystal ball on the floor and the door-less frame were proof that the event actually happened.
An out-of-breath Faith appeared from the backroom. She jumped then walked across the table and landed between Willow and Xander.
“This is a place of business not a…a…obstacle course. I would appreciate if you didn’t do that.” Anya said with a huff as she used a rag to wipe off an invisible shoe print.
“Yeah. Whatev…” Faith turned her attention towards a figure that was walking through the front door.
Anya looked up too see what caught Faith’s attention. “Hey Dawn! Hey, it’s Dawn! Why…How…What are ‘you’ doing here?” Anya said as she looked around nervously. Xander and Willow shot glances they both looked at Faith who nodded.
Dawn looked back at the door on the floor she just stepped over. “What’s going on? Where you like attacked?”
“No. Ha ha. Attacked. Ha. No, why would we be attack…ed?” Anya said awfully attempting to laugh.
“Yeah…Right.” Dawn said. “Umm… Buffy’s acting majorly weird. I was wondering if you guys knew what was up.”
Willow stood up from her seat and headed towards Dawn. “W-what do you mean, Dawny?” Willow said.
Faith took this as a cue as she slid over from her seat and headed towards Dawn.
“Faith!” Dawn said completely shocked. “How…what are you…” Dawn turned toward the exit.
Faith lunged and grabbed Dawn’s arm. “Sorry Lil’ Sis, gotta save the world.” Faith cocked back her arm and connected with Dawn’s jaw. Dawn fell to the ground instantly.
Willow stepped up next to Faith and studied Dawn’s unconscious body. She hated every bit of her being. “I’m sorry.”
Faith looked as though she felt just as guilty as Willow. “Tie her up. And do whatever you plan to do with her. I did my part. I’m a bodyguard not a murder. Well… not today, anyway.”
