???: "Ashley. Ashley. Wake up little sister."

Ashley felt gentle hands rubbing against her back.

???: "Come on Ashley. It’s okay they’re gone."

"That voice..so familiar..My sister..Emanuel?"

Ashley forced herself to open her eyes.

Emanuel: "There she is. We were worried about you."

Ashley: "Emanuel? Is that you?"

She tried to get off of her stomach but found it terribly difficult.

Emanuel: "Don’t. Your going to hurt. The slayer did some bad things to you."

Ashley: "Where are we?"

Emanuel: "This is my masters house."

Ashley looked around the room she was in. The sun was shiing brightly through see through curtains. She was laying on a very big bed with nice soft covers. She realized that her shirt was off. No wonder her wings felt so much better.

Ashley: "Master?"

Emanuel: "They..they took pity on you."

Ashley: "Excuse me?"

Emanuel: "Ashley please calm yourself."

Ashley: "Who is this master you speak of?"

Emanuel: "Mr. Weasely."

Ashley: "Emanuel we can leave here-"

Emanuel: "No ashley. I can’t. My owners have been good to me and-"

Ashley: "Emanuel they’ve enslaved you!"

Emanuel: "Please hush sister. You’ve been out of it for days. I begged them to let you stay."

Ashley: "You what?"

She looked at her sister in disbelief.

Ashley: "How could you?"

Emanuel: "Ashley they’re good people."

Ashley: "Buffy is going to kill me."

Emanuel: "No she’s not."

Ashley: "How do you know?"

Emanuel: "I won’t let her Ashley."

Ashley: "Emanuel..where’s everyone else?"

Emanuel: "Well..Mom’s still alive. I have no clue where she is."

Ashley: "….Emanuel. I did what you told me to do."

Emanuel: "I see. What I told you kept you out of captivity. Why are you here?"

Ashley: "I..I got caught."

Emanuel: "Why Ashley? What happened?"

Ashley: "I..I was saving these kids from Buffy and Faith."

Emanuel: "Two werewolves? Three girls?"

Her smile was growing.

Ashley: "Yeah. Why are you smiling?"

Emanuel: "Oh Ashley, I knew they’d find you. Nicole’s sons and Misandra’s daughter."

Ashley: "Misandra’s daughter? Misandra has a daughter? How did that happen?"

Emanuel: "Nevermind. The point is that you saved them."

Ashley: "Let me take a wild guess, those other two were…uh-"

Emanuel: "Gemnia."

Ashley: "What?! Seriously? O my God..wow."

The door to the room opened. A tall man with flaming red hair came in. Emanuel stopped rubbing Ashley’s back and stood up.

Emanuel: "My sister is better now sir."

Ron directed his attention to Ashley.

Ron: "How do you feel?"

Ashley: "Recad fra twile for kime."

Emanuel: "Ashley! Language!"

Ron: "What did she say?"

Emanuel: "Nothing."

Ron: "Did you tell her yet?"

Emanuel: "No sir. She just woke up. I’ll tell her now."

Ron: "Okay. You know what to do. Make it fast I can’t hold them for long."

Ashley: "What!"

Emanuel: "Thank you sir."

Ron: "Nice meeting you Ashley."

He left the room.

Ashley: "Emanuel what-"

Emanuel: "You’re leaving Ashley. You have to go back home. No ones been there since we were enslaved."

She looked under the bed and pulled out a pink nike bag.

Ashley: "Why am I going back there?"

Emanuel: "Do you remember that ladder  that we told you to NEVER EVER go up?"

Ashley: In the castle yeah I think so."

Emanuel: "Well, we want you to go up there now. I don’t neccesarily know whats up there but whatever it is it’ll save our people."

Ashley: "Okay. I understand."

Emanuel handed her the bag of stuff and gave her a hug.

Emanuel: "I love you Ashley. Make us proud."

Ashley: "….."

Emanuel: "*tear* Now go on. Fufill your destiny fatty."

Ashley: "I’ll see you on the outside."

She opened up the window and jumped out ready to continue her life on the run. Only this time she knew where she had to go. And her wings were fixed. Nothings stopping her now.
