Note: I do not own any of the characters from Buffy or Angel! With the
exception of Kennedy, I own all of the Potentials!
"So, this is the end?" Dawn asked Willow quietly.
Willow turned towards Dawn; "It seems like it is. The First is gone, and the Hellmouth is closed. I just didn't think that there would be so much carnage."
Bodies lay all around. Bodies of Bringers, bodies of demons and bodies of Potential Slayers. There had been around thirty of the Potentials when the battle had started, and now there were around ten left. Dawn recognized some of the dead potentials; Amanda, Rona, and Vi were among the ones she had knew personally. The rest, well, she didn't know their names, but it didn't matter.
"Willow?" Kennedy asked, limping over to her. She was in really bad condition; "Where is everyone else?"
Willow motioned towards the bodies; "Most of them are there."
"What about Buffy, Xander, any of them?"
Willow shook her head, "Haven't heard a thing. I hope they're all right. What about Faith?"
"Dead. Her neck was snapped by one of the uber-vamps. And you know what that means."
"It means that we've got a new Slayer to track," said a voice. The three of them turned around. Buffy was walking with Xander's arm around her shoulder. They both looked awful.
"Buffy!" Dawn said, running over and hugging her sister. She then hugged Xander, "Where's Giles and the others?"
"Dead, all of them. There was nothing we could do."
"What about Spike?"
Buffy looked up. There were tears in her eyes; "He's missing."
"Well, that's good. There's still a chance he's alive, right?" Willow suggested. Buffy gave no reply.
"He is probably the reason we're still alive," Xander said, "He gave himself up for us. He probably died a hero."
The rest of the potentials came over to the group. All together, there were fourteen left. Willow wiped her eyes; "We should go back to the house. I know a spell that can help us figure out who the next Slayer is."
Everybody else nodded. The battle had been fought, but nothing was over yet. Not by a longshot.
