Dawn made a feeble attempt at freeing her tied hands. Glory smiled at her wasted effort. Glory put her hand out behind her hinting that she wanted something from the demons that stood there. The all looked at each other obviously having no idea what Glory was requesting.
"The knife!" Glory said angrily as she turned around to face the demons.
"Oh...umm... He was suppose to bring it." One of the demons said.
"Oh come on. When we get back I'm going to skin you." Glory said as she began her journey back down the large tower. The demons followed.
Dawn was left alone on top of the tower. She looked at the ground. Normally, Dawn would have been terrified to be so far away from the solid ground. She had other things to worry about. It was starting to get dark, but Dawn still searched the ground for a Buffy shaped ant.
When Glory and her minions finally emerged they were followed by two figures.
“Giles!” Dawn said. Her little bit of hope was destroyed by the look on his face.
Dawn looked to Faith who was standing next to Giles. Faith tried to give Dawn a comforting smile.
Glory took the blade of the knife and cut across Dawn’s stomach several times. Dawn cried out in pain with each cut.
“Oops, deeper than I would have liked, but hey what you gonna do?” Glory asked Dawn playfully as she dropped the knife on the metal in front of her. Dawn felt the warm liquid dripping onto her feet. She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else besides the pain.
Underneath Dawn’s blood met the air and a small blue light formed and quickly grew larger and larger.
Glory waited as the light grew. Soon she turned to her minions who nodded in response and jumped in anticipation. Glory jumped off the tower and landed inside the light, the light flashed red and Glory disappeared. This process continued as Glory’s minions followed her through the portal. Soon Giles, Faith and Dawn were left alone on the tower.
The light still continued to grow. Giles picked up the knife Glory left and handed it to Faith. “We must kill her now before the walls collapse.”
Faith held the knife in her hand; it was still covered in Dawn’s blood. She didn’t move, she couldn’t move. Faith had killed people before, she never felt so horrible about it. She looked into the young girl’s eyes and knew she didn’t deserve this. She didn’t deserve a life like this and she sure as hell didn’t deserve a death like this.
“Faith!” Giles said.
“I-I can’t.” She said.
Giles opened his mouth in protest but Dawn spoke up first, “You have to.” She said with tears in her eyes.
Faith looked at the girl for a minute. She grasped the knife hard in her hand.
“Will it hurt?” Dawn asked as tears trickled down her face.
Faith fought a losing battle as tears formed in her eyes. As she blinked drops ran down her face. She couldn’t lie. “It might.”
Dawn closed her eyes and held her head up. “Tell Buffy I…I love her, and not to be worried… I’ll be with mom.”
“I’m sorry.” Faith said as she swept the blade across Dawn’s neck.
