The apartment was cold, very cold. The frost build up on the windows made it almost impossible to see outside. Dawn could see her breath in front of her, rising like steam. It was like one of those really cold winter mornings. She reached out to turn on the light, but couldn't find the switch.
"Spooky much?" Dawn whispered.
"Oh yeah," replied Buffy, "definitely a fear factor in here."
The sisters moved further down the corridor, where it got colder and colder. The feeling of an unnatural presence inside Dawn got continually strengthened as they approached Anna's room.
"I can feel it," stated Dawn, "Anna's strong."
Buffy peered through the nearly closed door.
"I can see her." she told Dawn.
"Lemme see!" said Dawn, slightly pushing Buffy out of the way. The sisters rearranged themselves so that they could both see.
Anna stood in front of her vanity, dressed more or less like Faith, applying lipstick.
"What the hell? This demon's got taste like"¦" began Dawn
"Faith." Buffy finished. "No worse, Faith in her evil days," she added.
The sisters looked at each other and chuckled.
"Oh my god she's coming!" warned Buffy, as she scurried backwards.
Instead of coming through the door, Anna went into her bath room.
"Go," commanded Buffy, edging her sister forward.
Dawn rolled her eyes, "And say what? I broke into your house?"
"Make up something!" replied Buffy, "Dawn quickly."
Dawn gathered up her courage and stepped out. She stood in the bathroom doorway. "Hey Anna."
Anna turned around swiftly, nearly jumping. When she saw Dawn she was relieved. "Oh my god you startled me!"
"Sorry," Dawn replied. She kept telling herself to just act normal. She looked around and bobbed her head a little, trying to think of something to say.
"So who's your friend?" asked Anna.
Buffy emerged from behind the door, wondering how Anna had spotted her.
"Oh"¦ That's Buffy, my sister." said Dawn. She felt very awkward. So did Buffy.
"Hi." said Buffy, with a big fake smile.
"So what's happening tonight?" asked Dawn. "Are you going out?"
Anna glared straight at her.
A little intimidated, Dawn blushed. "What?" she asked.
Anna stepped forward, she was about a foot away from Dawn. Staring straight into her eyes, Dawn noticed her eyes were completely empty, like there was no one inside. A little frightened, she backed away a little.
"You're actually going to tell me you came here to see "˜what's happening tonight'?" asked Anna, she seemed angered.
"Maybe we should just go." said Dawn, beginning to walk towards the door.
Anna pointed sharply at the door handle, Buffy and Dawn heard it lock. "No, stay," she said, with a sinister smile on her face. She stared at Dawn's protection amulet and chuckled.
"Anna what's going on?" asked Dawn, still acting a little.
Anna cocked her eyebrow, "Oh come on, like you don't know. I know why you're here."
She then swung an unexpected punch at Dawn. It connected well, throwing her across the room and into the wall.
Buffy assumed a fighting position, and then she threw a punch at Anna. It also connected well, but caused hardly any effect.
"And you're a Slayer!" teased Anna, kicking Buffy right in the mid-section. She also went flying across the room, landing close to her sister.
"You morons actually thought you could stop me?" asked Anna. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."
Buffy reached for a vase. "Think quick!" she yelled, as she threw it. It smashed over Anna, knocking her back a little.
"Wow," began Anna, "didn't expect that, you're a little sneaky aren't cha?" She began moving swiftly towards Buffy.
Dawn jumped up and raised her arms, "Back off!" she yelled. She was trying very hard to evoke some sort of power. Noting happened.
Anna laughed, "You're pathetic!"
She then grabbed Dawn by the throat and slowly she began to lift her off the ground.
"Any last words?" asked Anna.
She then threw her back across to the other side of the room.
"I wanna kill the Slayer first!" she yelled.
Dawn concentrated hard, she closed her eyes. A flash of white light exploded in her mind. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that her whole body was glowing. With all her might, she forced all oer energy towards Anna.
Anna was hit devastatingly, and knocked out cold.
"Still pathetic?" asked Dawn sarcastically, kicking the unconscious demon.
Buffy looked up at her sister, who helped her up. "Thanks Dawnie."
Dawn laughed, "I think I owed ya that one. Come on lets get the others in here."
