"Lookee what I found," Warren crowed triumphantly as he pushed Dawn into the
van. The young girl had her hands tied in front of her and looked terrified.
"Wow, that's incredible...where did you find her, cause Buffy and the rest
of them have been looking for days?" Andrew asked.
"I have my ways," Warren replied smugly. The other two exchanged knowing
glances.
"She's a robot," they said in unison.
"She is NOT a robot. She's the real deal. Buffy's sister."
"What do you want with me? Are you going to hurt me? Please, please don't
hurt me," Dawn said softly, her voice trembling. Her eyes brimmed with
unshed tears. Andrew and Jonathan exchanged glances again. She wasn't acting
like one of Warren's robots. He'd actually found the Slayer's sister.
"We're not gonna hurt you. We're not like that," Jonathan rushed to reassure
her.
"I mean, we're supervillains, sure, but we don't hurt girls, cause that
would be creepy and wrong," Andrew added.
"We're just gonna threaten to hurt you so that Buffy will do what we want,"
Jonathan finished. Warren slapped him on the back of the head. "Hey! Would
you quit doing that?"
"Would you quit telling everyone the master plan? Don't you know that
bragging about the master plan to the hero is the number one supervillain
mistake?" Warren exclaimed in exasperation.
"Sorry," Jonathan said.
"But, she's not the hero in this scenario. She's the bait," Andrew
corrected. Warren gave him a warning look.
"I'm not bait," Dawn whispered.
"Same rule applies to bait. Don't tell her what she doesn't need to know. In
fact, why are your trying to make her not afraid of you? You're a villain!
She's supposed to be afraid of you," Warren finished, looking back and forth
between the others until they nodded acquiesence.
"I'm not bait."
"Hey, can we put her in the gold bikini? You know, the one like Princess
Leia..." Andrew trailed off at the disgusted looks from his companions.
"Hello? I mean, that's just digusting," Jonathan said, rolling his eyes.
"Totally kiddie porn. Not to mention what Buffy would...what is WRONG with
you?" Warren spit out. Andrew hung his head.
"She's the first person we've captured, that's all," he muttered. "I thought
it would make her look baitier."
"I'm not bait," Dawn said again, her teeth clenched.
"So just how do we get the Slayer to do what we want?" Andrew asked. He and
Jonathan stared at Warren expectantly.
"Do I have to think of everything?" Warren exploded. "I'm the one that found
the bait, you guys figure out how to make the trap."
"I'm. Not. Bait!" Dawn yelled. They looked at her curiously.
"God, get a grip," Andrew said snarkily.
"If you're not bait, what are you?" Jonathan asked. The ropes that had been
tying her wrists drifted to the floor. Dawn pulled Warren to her from
behind, her fangs grazing his neck. She smiled.
"Hungry."

(Only thing is, the title and summary together pretty much gave away the
ending.)

both good and funny but you already knew that. <G>

in a literal sense...but I liked the almost Star Warsy sound of it. And you
just know those guys have got that costume sitting around somewhere. :)
Thanks again for the feedback, Dave

Very nice. With, from what I can gather, the amazing ineptitude of the
current "bad guys", I can almost imagine it happening. Liked the surprise
ending as well. I can imagine the other characters being vamps on the sly,
but the idea of Dawn being one......

Well since this group is almost pathological about plot twists and
misdirection, I thought that the title was too obvious to ba a giveaway. Plus I
was a teen when Princess Leia's outfit t first appeared on the big screen. <G>
