Well, that wasn't right. We should've known something was going to happen when the demons around town got quiet. I blame it on all of us being tired from the patrolling and researching. Even so, we should've been better prepared. Not that you can really stop a surprise attack, that's why it's called a surprise.
It was our team's night to guard the Hellmouth. Things were quiet for a while and then when Clem and I were talking about snakes he saw some demons outside. We alerted the others at the school and called for back-up when they started to break down the front door. Giles shot one of them and I was going after another and then I woke up in the hallway around the corner with dead demons around me.
I found out later that all of the teams had been attacked that night. Many of our members have been injured, and some of Jack's soldiers were killed. We've moved everyone into the school. We're trying to regroup now and make a plan for the next time the demons strike. Which they will, it's only a matter of time. It's rather like a little town now, we have a medical area and a sleep area and an eating area. Well, more like a military encampment than a little town, but that's what we are now, right?
I know that I should be feeling something about what has happened. Everyone else is showing their emotions, yet I'm not sure what is appropriate right now. Yes, I am sad that people died, but it's not the kind of sad like when Joyce died. I knew her, she made me food and welcomed me into her home. I don't think I even knew what most of their names or what any of their favorite colors were. Now I never will. Maybe it's for the best, we need to think about keeping the rest of ourselves alive right now.
