Summary: Dawn has been called as the new slayer, Buffy's been kidnapped, and all hell's about to break loose
Season: 5
Dawn ran as fast as she could to Giles'. "Giles open up!" she screamed, pounding on the door. Giles opened his door, and he, along with Willow, Xander, Anya, Spike and Tara crowded around her as she walked in. "Bloody hell, nibblet, what's the matter?" Spike asked. "It's Buffy. She's gone. We were patrolling, and now she's gone." Everyone froze. "Wait, rewind. Buffy took you patrolling and now she's missing?" Xander asked, confused. "You haven't told them?" Dawn asked Giles. He shook his head, "I was waiting for you and Buffy." Giles answered. "Alright. I'm lost here. What the hell is going on?" Xander asked. "Dawn's a Slayer." Spike said, his eyes widening in shock. "What? How can you tell?" Anya asked. "I'm a bloody vampire. We can sense these things. How do you suppose most of us survive for hundreds of years? We can smell a Slayer from a mile away." Spike replied, rolling his eyes. "He's right. After Faith died I was called. Buffy told me this afternoon and we went patrolling. The vamps were out in force. When I dusted the last one, I turned around and Buffy was gone. This was all that was left." Dawn handed the purse and cloth to Giles. He smelled it. "Ahhhh. Chloroform. Which means they wanted her alive. Stay here. I'm going to go call the council. I swear if they had anything to do with this..."Giles grumbled on his way to the phone
"Password." A raspy voice said on the fourth ring. "Bloody Hell Walters don't give me any of this password dribble. I know you have caller ID. Now Put Quentin on the phone, it's an emergency." Giles ordered. "Rupert? Is that you? How are you mate? Good, I hope, is that Slayer of yours still a handful? You know we have ways of dealing with uncooperative Slayers. Now hold on a second while I put Mr. Travers on the phone." A few moments later Quentin picked up, "What is it Mr. Giles?" Quentin Travers asked icily. "It's Buffy. She's disappeared." Giles answered. "That's been known to happen Rupert. She's probably dead." Quentin replied dryly. "No. Her and the other Slayer were patrolling. A cloth with chloroform was ground near her purse. She’s been kidnapped. We, I, would like the councils help in locating her." Giles replied. "Very well. I'll send a team. They'll be there tomorrow." Quentin answered and hung up. Giles went back to the living room. "Well?" Willow asked. "The councils sending a team. They'll be here tomorrow."
Dawn awoke to a strong male arm shaking her roughly, and the sounds of music she didn't even want to know the name of. "What the hell?" she asked sleepily, none to happy at the intrusion on the only sleep she'd had in over 24 hours. "Time to wake up little bit, the councils poofs will be here in an hour." Spike replied. Dawn came fully awake. "Crap." she said as she grabbed the jeans and shirt closest to her and raced towards the shower. Spike rolled his eyes and lit a cigarette. *It's a shame she's going to have to die* he thought sarcastically as he took a long drag off his cigarette and waited for the young slayer to get out of the shower.
An hour later Dawn, Willow, Xander, Anya and Tara waited nervously for Giles to arrive with the councils representatives. When the doors to the Magick Box opened they all turned towards it, slightly apprehensive. Council visits were never fun. Coming through the doors were Giles and six strangers, three men, three women. Giles motioned for them to sit and introductions were made. The tallest woman, she was about 6'1, and the councils most powerful witch, Greenlea Stone, had waits length raven black curls and penetrating eyes that were black as night. Her features were sharp and angular, her skin, a light golden shade. The tallest man was none other than Wesley's older brother, Julian Wyndham-Price, a warlock whose features were nearly identical to those of his brother, except for the startling fact that he had one blue eye and one green. The Watchers sent were an Irish husband and wife team, Shaelyn and Cole McNamara. Shaelyn had shoulder length auburn curls and dark blue eyes, and was very short. Cole was about 6'2, with wavy black hair and piercing green eyes. The two members of the councils Special-Ops team sent were Cheyenne Nixon and Dallas Hughes. Cheyenne was Amazon like, about 6'0, she had white-blond hair, cropped short, and pale blue eyes. Dallas was about 6'3, with golden-red hair, chocolate brown eyes. Both had more muscles than Arnold Schwarzenegger. After all the introductions had been made the group sat in silence, the six Scoobies sizing up the six council members, and vice-versa.
It was Dawn who took the first step, asking the question that was on everyone’s mind, "Where the hell is my sister?" Shaelyn looked at the young girl kindly, "We're still trying to figure that out. So far we have no leads. Greenlea and Julian both have their covens scrying for her." Dawn nodded. "In other words the councils got nothing, as usual." Xander broke in, frustrated. "Not necessarily." Greenlea replied. "My coven has been able to reassure us that you're sister is still in Sunnydale. We just haven't been able to figure out where at exactly. I'm surprised you didn't know that yourself, considering that Willow here is the most powerful witch to have lived since Morgan Le Fey." Willows eyes widened and she blushed. "I'm not, I mean, I'm really only a beginner." she stammered out. "Yes. But you have more power than even me and Julian, and have successfully performed spells that even we cannot. Do not doubt yourself, or your magick." Greenlea replied. "Look. This is all very not interesting, but could we please get back to the subject at hand." Cheyenne broke in. Willow and Greenlea glared at her, and Julian put an end to a potentially explosive situation by saying "Watch Yourself Cheyenne. Greenlea and Willow are not women you want to disrespect unless you fancy having four legs and a tail. Greenlea and I do believe that there is a spell hiding Buffy's location from us. We also believe that with Willow and Tara's help we can block the spell within 24 hours." "Then that's it. The four of you work on finding Buffy. Giles, Shaelyn, Cole, Anya, and Xander will search the books and Cheyenne, Dallas, and I will go patrol, see if we can find anything." Dawn said, and everyone went their separate ways.
