We still hadn't got any answers from Illyria on what had happened with Giles. She'd stepped down for now, content on calling trust after speaking to the 'leader' of this place. Riley. I'd been only too content to take a step back from things then

I was concentrating so hard on keeping Eve in check and making sure that she doesn't take off now that Connor's gone that I don't even notice as I run into someone. "Oh, sorry," they say, and my heart stops for a minute because it's my sister.

Crap.

"Oh, hey, Buffy," I exclaim happily, smiling at her. "I was just, um, looking for you." No, I totally wasn't. I was avoiding her. But too late now.

"I have something for you."

Dawn sounds way too happy to actually be telling the truth when she says she was looking for me. For one, she couldn't have been looking *that* far. The only places I'd been were Riley's office and out dealing with that Smurf once all the lights had gone out.

I smelt something funny here. And I had a feeling it had something to the woman Dawn had attached to her arm.

"Something for me?" I asked, my eyebrows lifting, "I'm guessing we're not talking early birthday presents here..."

"No, not exactly, although if we're on the subject of birthdays..." I pause, look back at Eve and sigh. Mine's coming up, but I guess this isn't really the time.

"Buffy, this is Eve." I don't think the name would ring any bells for her like it did for Connor. I mean, it didn't for me until I knew who she was... and what she did. "She used to work for Wolfram and Hart before it went boom."

I hold off on saying the last bit of information, waiting to gage Buffy's reaction first. I wish Connor was here to back me up. I was so not planning on seeing Buffy all on my own.

The pretty girl is introducing me to someone. Focus. Focus.

I stop looking around the big room, and look past pretty girl to...pretty girl. Two pretty girls! How...

...my eyes narrow. I know this one. I've seen her picture before. Pictures. Lots of pictures.

I step forward.

"I know you! I've SEEN you. Many files..." I shake my head back and forth, "...many, many files on YOU. Slayer. THE Slayer. Angel's Slayer."

I look back at the pretty girl who brought me here. Then back at Angel's Slayer.

Then back again.

I gasp.

"Sisters...."

I whip around and face the pretty girl, and take a step forward.

"I know you TOO."

My eyes narrow.

"Not human...NOT HUMAN."

Screaming.

"...the Key."
