Drabbled again..
Seems whenever I play with "What ifs" it ends up really dark...
They had forgotten the most important law of all: You don’t mess with nature.
It was a bad idea to import animals into a country that wasn’t prepared for them, and it was a worse idea to mess with the Powers plan where the Slayer line was concerned.
Experiences can change what we have the potential to become, there had been a reason the Powers That Be chose to awaken those dormant powers only in a selected few of the girls born with them.
Demons were no longer a threat to humanity, but the Slayers were. A war was raging.

Trust is good.
She had trusted him. First after she stopped him from leaving and he swore not to go back there; next when the thing with her mom happened and he was by her side on her rampage through the vampire community. Again when he came home beaten and without Dawnie, telling her the chip must have stopped working. When the stake intended for her sister’s supposed murderer got turned around and sunk in his chest she rushed to save him - and froze when instead of dying he crumpled to dust.
Trust is good, but be careful whom you trust.

It had been the right thing to do, hadn’t it?
Her father had said she was part demon. That would have meant she could be a danger to all of them. Who could blame them for stepping back and letting her family take care of her? What else could they have done? Slay her? It was not like she really had had to leave anyway; even if it had been Spike’s chip that had resolved the situation instead of one of them getting involved.
So why was there only disgust and disappointment in her eyes when she looked at them?
