Calling an angel
When Xander finished talking to Faith he turned to me with this cold, knowing, look in his eyes. All he said was "Angel?" And I nodded as I pulled a handfull of change out of my pocket and dumped it into the payphone. Of course I had Angel's number memorized, I mean...you never know when you are going to need it.
My hands were shaking slightly as I dialed the phone. It took me a few deep breaths to steady myself enough to dial the damn number. I do have to admit, I was not looking foward to telling Angel. He is going to be...so not happy. Plus, saying that Buffy and Willow were gone it was like finalizing it, and that scared me.
It was ringing now, and boy was I scared. Once I heard the ringing stop and the familiar voice on the other end, my heart started racing again, but I kept my cool...for the most part. My voice was low, dry, and slightly scratchy...it held no emotion and it didn't even sound like me.
"Angel? It's...it's Dawn." And that folks, is all I had in me. The lump in my throat came back and it became obvious in my voice that I was fighting the tears again. "S-something b-bad happened. W-we need you."
