It was early morning, just before sunrise, when Dawn snuck out of the house. She did it most mornings and never got caught. After leaving the house, Dawn would make her way over to the Watchers council. If she arrived before dawn then the training rooms where generally empty!
For a long time now Dawn's relationship with her sister had been straigned and she put it all down to one thing... the fact she was human. She'd never be as good as Buffy, as special!! No one understood! Buffy cared more for the slayers than Dawn, they were more like family to her! And Dawn longed to be... as special to Buffy as they were.
Dawn walked into the training room and dropped her bag. She tied her hair up into a pony tail as she headed across to the cupboard taking out 3 knives.
On a far wall was a target. Dawn stood facing the wall and aimed. She threw the knives, one after another, each one just missing. "Shoot!" [/b][/size][/center]

Lisa walked into the training room, she was so tierd but with everything that was happening she needed to get in as much training as possible. She expected the training room to be empty as it was just before sunrise. She was suprised to see Dawn in the training room, not just because of the time but because genrally it was only slayers who went in there.
"Dawn" she said as she entered the room "Are you ok?" She asked looking at the knives on the floor. She put her bag down and walked over to Dawn and looked at the target "Never expected to see you training"

Dawn heard a voice behind her and turned to see Lisa, one of Buffy's best slayers! "Oh... hi... I ... erm.. sorry i just..." [/b] Dawn turned to face the knives on the floor. "I suck!"[/b] She sighed as she turned to face Lisa. Dawn knew very few of the slayers, but some of them had seen her around, Lisa on the other hand... she actually spoke to Dawn, she'd been to the house a few times. She was the only slayer Dawn didnt resent because she was the only slayer who wasnt a complete stuck up cow! "I dont get why i cant do it! I think I'm just always supposed to be inadiquete!"[/b][/size][/center]

"Its not the fact that you suck, its more of the fact that you dont really get a chance to practise, and thats what you need if you want to learn" she smiled Dawn always seemed to be too harsh on herself, Lisa wonderd how it felt for her to not have the same abilities as her sister and friends.
Buffy had always tried to protect Dawn from the world but if it was Lisa she knew that she would hate it so guessed that Dawn probably did too. Buffy probably would even hate the fact that Dawn was out this early, the sun hadent risen so that ment there was still monsters out there hunting putting her in danger.
"Your not inadiqate, there is probably alot of stuff that your good at that most other people aint, you just need to figer out what your talent is" she smiled

Dawn sighed as she walked over to pick up the knives. "All i seem to be good at... is screwing up! I know it! And Buffy would never adit it but she knows it too!" [/b] She said looking down at the ground. Dawn knew she'd screwed up, she just hadnt told anyone else! And it still bothered her! She still couldnt get him off her mind no matter what she tried. And it wasnt the fact she still liked him, it was the way she let herself be used. She'd given her everything. She just wanted to feel wanted, needed... She wanted to feel loved. [/size][/center]

"Dawn you havent screwed up, everyone makes mistakes!" Lisa sighed putting a hand on Dawns sholder comforting her. "It doesnt matter if people make mistakes, its what they do after they have made the mistake that counts!" she smiled.

Dawn smiled. "Ok.. right.... i think i've worked out my problem...!" [/b] She looked towards the wall. "When i throw, i think im putting my elbow in too much!"[/b] She said holding a knife in her hand. Lisa was right it was what you do after that counts... and Dawn didnt do anything... she suffered in silence... she let her problems eat her up inside! And that wasnt changing!! She'd keep covering up! It was what Dawn was good at!! Suffering in silence... and going off the rails![/size][/center]

Lisa smiled as Dawn changed the subject, she didnt want to talk about it and she wasnt going to push her into talking about it. "Ok well try relaxing a bit more, and then throw it"

Dawn sighed, relaxed and threw. She hit the wall but missed the target. "Or maybe i suck!" She said, dissapointed in herself.

"You dont, it just takes time" she said walking over to pick the knife up and passing it back to Dawn
