Sara tried to sit up but the pain in her head was just too 
much. `Where the hell am I', she thought trying to remember.
`Oh 
yeah, campus, big guys, teach me a lesson'. She sat up and
moaned. 
Her eye was swelled shut and she had the taste the blood in her 
mouth. She buttoned her shirt and found her pants thrown in the 
bushes. `Shit I am a god damn slayer, how could I have let this 
happen', she asked herself angrily. She crawled to a bench and
stood 
up. Her head was pounding and she collapsed down onto it. `No
this 
didn't happen to me, I am not weak. I have saved the world to
many 
times to count and I can't fight a couple of human college
boys.' 
Sara put her head in her hands. She sat there until she had gathered 
enough strength to stand up. "God damn son of a bitch", she
screamed 
to anyone who might be listening and kicked the bench, sending wood 
and concrete everywhere. She picked up a piece of the wood and threw 
it at a tree; it hit dead on and almost went through it. Sara started 
for home, `the last thing I needed was for someone to get worried
and 
come looking for me'. She hoped that they were all in bed; all
she 
wanted was to be alone. She noticed all the lights were off and 
quietly slipped in the front door. She made her way to her room and 
stripped off the ruined clothes and threw them in the trashcan. Sara 
turned on the shower as hot as it would go, stepped in and started to 
shake. She scrubbed herself trying to wash the violation away. She 
fell to the floor of the shower and began to cry uncontrollably. She 
punched at the wall putting her hand through it in several places; 
she needed to feel the physical pain for a while, so the emotional 
pain would go away. Sara didn't know how long she stood in the
shower 
fighting the emotional demon but finally stumbled to her bed, falling 
into a restless sleep. 


Sara sat straight up in the bed and had to fight not to scream. She 
had awakened from the nightmare in her dreams but not the one in 
reality. Sara got out of bed and paced the room, `I am so pissed
at 
myself, how could I let this happen to me'. She looked at the
clock 
and saw that it was almost time for everyone to get up and went to 
her training room. She shut the door and turned the CD player on as 
loud as she could get it and hit repeat. The sounds of
Nickleback's 
Never Again filled the room. She punched and kicked at the bag in the 
middle of the room as the song played over and over again.



Buffy and Willow went into Sara room to say good morning. They both 
noticed that the bed had been slept in but was empty.
"Training room", Buffy told Willow. They opened the door and
were 
assaulted by the sound of the music. Willow looked at Buffy, who just 
shrugged her shoulders. They walked over to Sara and Willow put her 
hand on her shoulder. It took all of Buffy's strength to keep the 
fist from connecting with Willow face.
"God damnit don't sneak up on me", Sara yelled over the
music and 
walked over and paused the song. 
"Sara what the hell happened to you last night", Buffy asked
and 
tried to touch her cheek.
"Nothing", Sara told her and stepped back to avoid the touch,
"Vamps 
snuck up on me. No big deal they won't be doing it again".
"Doc, you need to have someone look at that eye", Willow said
in a 
concerned voice.
"I told you I was fine", Sara told them with a look of
coldness that 
made Buffy step back.
"Sara.
"Look I need to work out, could you guys just leave me alone for
a 
while", Sara said and turned the music back on. Buffy grabbed
Willow 
hand and pulled her out of the room. 


"Buffy what the hell was that about".
"I don't know but something happened last night but she
doesn't want 
to talk about it and we need to respect that", Buffy told her,
"Come 
on I'll help you make breakfast. Then you can drive us all to
school".


Sara waited until she knew that everyone was gone before she came 
out. `Shit I almost hit her', she thought. Sara went to her
room, 
fell into bed and cried herself to sleep. 


"Hey Sara wait up", Xander yelled finally finding her at the
second 
cemetery he looked at.
"Xander, what are you doing here".
"Will and Buffy thought you might want some help tonight. You
tool 
off before anyone could ask you", Xander told her. 
"I DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER" Sara yelled.
"Hey friend here, don't kill the messenger".
"I'm sorry, just haven't felt like myself today. I'm
did need to talk 
to you alone for a minute. I have a project for you but I need you to 
not tell anyone."
"Sure anything to help", Xander said.
"Well I sort of threw a temper tantrum last night and put some
holes 
in my shower wall. Do you think you can fix it quietly one day"?
"Yup sure can, how about I take a look tonight when we get home.
You 
could send everyone to the movies on Saturday and I could fix it 
then. Can I ask what you were mad at so I know not to do it".
"Just had a bad day. Needed to take some frustration out."
"Wanna talk about it", Xander asked with concerned voice.
"Naw, XANDER LOOK OUT" Sara threw him to the side and jumped
the vamp 
that had appeared out of the shadows. Sara kicked the vamp in the 
stomach, knocking him to the ground. She jumped on him and began to 
pound on him. At some point she knock him unconscious and was beating 
on a limp body.
"Sara he is already died. Just stake him and get it over with"
Sara pulled the stake out of her back pocket and the vamp was 
dust, "Umm, I-I guess I got carried away".
"Yeah I little. Feel better"?
"No not yet but maybe after a few more", Sara told him
honestly.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk".
"Nope just fight".
"Ok then lead the way, lets go make some dust buster food".



"Buffy, I mean she just went ballistic on the vamps. Not just one
but 
all of them. I think you guys need to talk to her", Xander told
them 
the next day.
"We've tried, she just tells us that she's fine and to
let it go", 
Willow answered.
"Have never seen anything like it. Even when you were the most pissed
off 
Buffy, you wouldn't torture them. I almost felt sorry for one of 
them."
"I'll talk to Giles today and see if he knows anything",
Buffy told 
them.
