Buff turns on a light and ever one looks around the place Looks empt enough e can sta herewhile we work on a plan.
ho s up for some good ol fashionedrunning away? Xander, not now. This isn't the time.
If this isn't, I don't know what is.
So I guess e figured out hathappened to all the Slayers.
The gathering That s hat Kenned called it when she was talking to Not this I had no idea this is hatshe meant. She never told me what it she meant She never told me hat itwas.
That doesn t matter no hat elsedid she say? That s it She gave me a bunch oflines about letting me go back to being normal and then had me takethe Scythe. I didn't ask many the Sc the I didn t ask man questions.
The can t kno right I mean theother Slayers can't be walking to other Sla ers can t be alking totheir deaths willingly. Maybe we their deaths illingl Ma be ecould explain it to them.
Xander s right The on t listen Kennedy's given them the same lines Kenned s given them the same linesshe fed Jenna, which probably means she fed Jenna hich probabl meansthat they all think I'm the evil that the all think I m the evilone. We'll have to do this another one e ll have to do this anotherway.
Perhaps it ould be best if e satdown. We're all tired.
Sure Ever Sla er in the orld sabout to die, so why not take a load I just mean that e need to thinkthis through. We can't make any rash this through e can t make an rashdecisions. We should try to remain decisions e should tr to remaincalm.
I just can t believe this ishappening. I can't believe I let it.
Buffy looks at Jenna. She realizes how far Jenna's come in Buff looks at Jenna She realizes ho far Jenna s come inthe last few months, just by hearing that line.
the last fe months just b hearing that line She s right e ll stop this ejust have to come up with a plan.
hich I guess e should probabl dosoon, considering that the Night of soon considering that the Night ofMorel Divineh is less than a day Morel Divineh is less than a da away.
Though Buffy is saying things that make it sound as though Though Buff is sa ing things that make it sound as thoughshe's feeling better, it's obvious that she's not. The look she s feeling better it s obvious that she s not The lookin her eyes tells us that she is very uneasy.
in her e es tells us that she is ver uneas KENNEDY stands in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by KENNEDY stands in the center of the court ard surrounded b HUNDREDS OF SLAYERS. She's giving a speech.
