Scoobie Meeting

Nov 16, 2005 15:50

We're sitting in the basement. Tara and I cast a protective circle using sea salt and white candles. Dawn watched from the steps. The three of us sit in the circle, holding hands. I can feel Dawn's emotions through her tense grip. She's giving off a lot of anger and I know she knows I feel it. She wants me to. But I also feel something else ( Read more... )

Of course. This is about Samantha. Ever since... ever since the summer, it's been all about Samantha, ever since she got here. Does anybody even remember the Slayer that was here before her? Does anyone care?

I stare in front of me as Willow talks, but can't help smirking. "I don't think she's our responsibility," I say and I'm surprised at how my voice sounds, like, cold. Totally cold. I don't care about Samantha. I don't. She shouldn't be here. She shouldn't be the Slayer.

"Whatever happened to her before she came here isn't our problem. So I don't see how we're responsible for her." I shrug. Not my problem. Not responsible. I'm not. "And because we had Buffy doesn't make us responsible for her." She's not Buffy. She could never be Buffy.

"No one is saying that she is Buffy, Dawn. No one is thinking that. But it is our responsibility. We have knowledge of Slayers and bad guys that other people don't have. And the three of us together, I think, could be very powerful. We have a responsibility to Samantha and to the world. She has no Watcher and I believe she came to us for a reason."

I'm shocked at Dawn's uncaring attitude. I squeeze her hand and tug on her arm to get her to look at me. "Do you want to see your friends die, Dawn? Do you want to see Sunnydale fall apart?"

I listen to Willow trying to reassure Dawnie that no one is saying Samantha is Buffy, it's very true. "Dawnie," I say interupting which is I confess a bold effort on my behalf. "Willow is right, we've been protecting Sunnydale far longer which is why we should help Samantha. Not cast her out."

I roll my eyes. "Sure. We shouldn't cast her out, okay." See my friends die? My friends won't die because I didn't help out the stupid Slayer. I look at Willow as she tugs on my arm. God, does she have to treat me like I'm twelve? I've never even been twelve.

"I just don't really want to make her our personal little project, okay? We don't owe her anything. She's a lot of trouble." I know that sounds really bad, but what am I supposed to do? The Slayer is supposed to protect people, not be a total head case. Jeez. "I think she should figure out her own deal before she goes acting all big and Slayer-y."

"And what are we supposed to do until then? ... You've brought up a good point though, Dawn. She doesn't seem capable of protecting anyone right about now, what with the crazy crying and rocking back and forth."

The answer came to me and I straightened up with new resolve, gripping their hands.

"We need to patrol tonight. And tomorrow night.. and the next night. Until Sam snaps out of it. And we need to keep our eyes on her.. Something is after her. And it isn't the usual big bad. I think it's worse than that..."

Willow is smart, she usually has a way of figuring these things out. "Do you think it will help?" I ask gently. "I guess wh..what I'm trying to say is what if we can't help her? Shouldn't she be hospitialised?" I look from Willow to Dawn then back. "Isn't that what they do with people who aren't quite...well...I don't mean to say crazy but she is rocking back and fourth."
