When I got into the kitchen, I closed the door behind me and looked around. There were things that we were going to need and I was going to need blood and she was going to need food. I think maybe we should bring a bed down here, into the kitchen, or move things into the basement. It shouldn't take me long to bring down a bed and a chair and ... I

The only thing that would kill the uber vamps was sunlight, only problem? It'd kill me too. Which means that Dawn would be left alone and ... well, at least she wouldn't be gone. I knew she was immortal to a certain extent, but we didn't know what that extent was and I wasn't going to find out. Besides, I don't want anything to happen to her. Ever. I couldn't take it for one and second ... Buffy couldn't take it. I didn't want her to go through that.

I nodded when she talked about the Bringers and I wasn't really worried about them as much. I knew we could take them on ... mostly, hopefully. But the ubervamps, that was a different story and I kept on hearing thumps at the door, or around the door. They felt close and maybe it was just my body playing tricks. I wasn't sure. I glanced over at Dawn and noticed her eye lids slipping closed. I frowned and reached over, taking the book as I sat next to her. "You can't sleep," I said and looked over the book, but pretty much it just said what she had already said, which I guess was all we really needed to know. There had to be a way to get sunlight around them without it causing me any harm. Maybe ... No, that wouldn't work.

Closing the book, I looked at her again. "Dawn ... you can't sleep. Not yet. After this is all over, you can sleep for however long you want."

I could sleep for however long I wanted after this was all over. Did he have any idea how long I'd been listening to that line for? Probably since the first day a new potential arrived in Sunnydale. Since we found out what was going on with the First Evil. I was tired! And not just from the events of the night, but from the way things had been for the last few weeks. I couldn't help it! It was hard to concentrate like this.

"Angel," I said quietly, pushing the book away as he tried to shove it back into my hands. "I'm tired. They can't get in here until I let them in and I can't look up spells when I'm not even a witch and I'm tired." I was on the verge of whining right now but I didn't care. Not all of us were vampires who like didn't need to sleep. "You look for a little while." I compromised handing him over the book.

Alright I might be Watcher Junior but Angel wasn't a slayer. For some reason he struck me as the type to not immediately grimace at the idea of actually having to read a few words on a page. Buffy on the other hand? Would throw a fit because slayers slay and the rest of us well...didn't.

"They can't get in here." I promised him again and it was mostly true. Eventually the barrier would wear off but for now I needed to sleep or else I wasn't going to be able to cast any spells. Willow was always telling me about how important energy was when you were trying to mess around with magick. If my energy was low I wasn't going to be able to do anything and I wasn't a witch anyway so I'd need every resource I could get.

Okay, so ... that wasn't going to work and when she told me for the second time that they wouldn't get in, I finally stopped trying. I was just ... worried. I couldn't help it, I already let her die ... once. Well, not let her, but yeah, and now there were vamps outside of our door and who kenw when the barrier wasn't going to work anymore. She did look tired. Bags under her eyes were evident and finally, I just closed the book and laid it next to us while she got comfortable.

"I'll just ... sit here and listen for anything," I said and watched her as she turned over. I looked back ahead at the door and scrunched down a bit until eventually, I was even laying down and getting some rest. Vampires had to rest too, just because we weren't alive ... really, didn't mean that we couldn't sleep. We could and that ... well, was something I was excersising right about now.

I didn't know how long it was until I finally woke up, but Dawn was still sleeping and I sat up a bit, listening to what was going on, which would be ... nothing. I didn't hear anything, or feel anything. I frowned and got up and then remembered that I needed to stay behind the barrier.

Well, this was ... weird.
