I was trying unseccessfully to just relax on the bed and watch Van Helsing when Morrigan started crying. At first it didn't seem like a big deal. I checked her diaper. Nothing. I picked up the bottle, she didn't want it or the pacifier. I carried her around the room trying everything I could think of but she just cried louder and louder until I started to wonder if she knew something I didn't. I carried her over and put got ready to leave in case we had to. I packed weapons right along with diapers and formula.
I glanced at the time. The slayers should have checked in by now. Suddenly I wished I hadn't forced Kennedy to involve me in this. I wasn't sure I wanted to be responsible for not getting Morrigan killed. And if this thing got past Ken, then that was just what was going to happen. And that could mean the end of the world...again.
I looked at Morrigan wishing she could talk. Wishing she could tell me want was wrong. She seemed to be looking at me, wanting to tell me something, but I could only guess that something was wrong and she somehow knew it.
Finally, I gave up. Faith might kill me for it, but the only thing I could come up with was that it wasn't safe to stay here. So I was getting the hell out of Dodge. I threw the bag I packed over my shoulder and picked up Morrigan's carseat. I would get Dawn, Xander, and Willow and leave. If they didn't agree, I'd take Morrigan without them. At least I knew they wouldn't be able to stop me. And I highly doubted those men would shot me with a baby in my arms.
I decided to load up the car I'd rented before starting the fight about whether or not we should leave with the others. I was just about to turn around to get Dawn when she ran out. She must have seen me loading up the car from a window.
Before she could question me, Morrigan stopped crying. Just like the crying was a switch she could turn on and off. I glanced around trying to figure out what she was telling me when I heard a scream. A few blocks down, a wolf tore into a woman that got in its way. Thankfully, he was too into his meal to notice us. While Dawn stared in shock, I buckled Morrigan into the car seat. Then I grabbed Dawn.
"We have to leave."
She looked back at the hotel and I knew she was thinking of the others. I was too. But I had to save Morrigan first. She was special and even if I didn't why, the world needed her.
"There's no time Dawn. I have to get Morrigan out of here. Get in the car or stay."
With that, I got in and started the engine, hoping Dawn would join me.
