Dorothy on her way down the not-so yellow brick road.

Funny how when you're protecting a Hellmouth, the former one now all of a sudden ends up needing more protection. Okay, rather than needing my help, it's drawing me there. Not that I mind. Because well, I don't. It's a change of scenery for me, and for Jane. Though, I'm not exactlly thrilled about having to take her with. She sees enough as is. No

Going to the hellmouth. I'm a little scared, I'll say. I'm glad I'm going with mom though. I know she needs to do that and I'm total 100% supportive. I don't feel bad because back home it's not like a actually had friends. No one really liked me and I don't really mind that. I know mom was worried about that, but what can she do about it, Ya know? Make a sign saying "Be My Friend Because Mom Said So!" I don't think so. But like I said before, not caring too much about it.

The thing that worries me the most is Willow and the whole apocalypse thing. Honestly I don't want Willow to die or me to die either. I am so going to hurt that guy who took Willow. But the one thing that I'm actually looking forward to is that I get to see Xander and Dawn and Giles and everyone. I love being around friends and family.

I wake up and look around, I guess we are in the circle of fire. Mom has her worried look upon her.

"Mom, Are you okay?" I ask with my puppy-eyes. No one can resist.

I hadn't meant to wake her up, but I did. In a way, I was glad. I knew I could always count on my baby and my big girl. She was stronger than most people, and a far lot braver. If only people would see that in her and be friends with her, rather than shy away. She's a good kid and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm her mom. I know it. I see it in her heart. She's just like her dad

Yeah. I understood what mom said. It it true, it takes her a shit load of bad news to bring her into depression. I just hope I can be as strong as she is. I don't want to disappoint her. I love her so much. I guess to some teens that might be odd and all but what the hell? Who can't love her

With most of the suitcases in my hold, I listened. Not to just Jane, but to the surroundings. I could feel it. It sang in my veins. The power of this place. The evil. The destruction. And I also felt such a familiar presence here, also. But, I'd listen to that one a little more later

"Oh! I'd love to go eat. Where are we dropping off our stuff?" I asked. Frankly, I really don't want to lug all of this stuff around.

The look in Mom's eyes when we looked around the area was weird. I've never seen her like this. It looks like she is frightened with a tint of strength. I can see how it would be frightening. I'm kinda scared. But she looks so strong right now. I know that nothing bad will happen because I can feel it. I know she will protect me and I'll do the same for her. Not like I can really do anything anyway. But it's good to try, right? I'd rather die beside her than anything else.

I stood there awaiting her response as a really odd looking man passed by us. He was very white and looked really sick. He was wearing a hood over his head and raggedy looking clothes. I wonder if he's okay, maybe he needs a doctor or something. Is he homeless? Why do I care so much?

"At the motel, baby." I said in distraction. My fingers twitching. I felt it. I felt it everytime I was near one. It was like a honing senser. I knew where they were without seeing them. Like a predator with the scent of blood wafting in the air. He'd be able to follow it just as I was able to follow the hum inside my veins towards the vampires. Setting my bags to the ground, I stepped in front of Jane. Cautiously eyeing the hooded figure passing us
