I Failed
I failed her. There's nothing to argue, I failed. She asked me to protect the Bit but I wasn't fast enough, wasn't clever enough. I could have saved her. If I hadn't let my mouth run, if I had just pushed Doc off the tower. Buffy would still be alive. But she's not. How is that fair that a monster like me get to live when she can't ? But life isn't fair. I stayed to protect Dawn, because that's all I have anymore. I'm just a ghost of what I used to be. I spend my night watching over Dawn and I spend my days crying. How am I supposed to go on like this ? Keep on living but for what ? What's the point ? I didn't know. As years passed I kept wondering why ? As each of them started to die, either because of the supernatural world or of old age, I kept my promise. Dawn got to live. She lived her life to the fullest until it wen down to hell for me. She was dying. And this time there was no saving possible. It was out of my control. I sat by her side at the hospital, feeling helpless as she struggle to breath. I take her hand in mine and she squeezed it lightly.
''You didn't … failed her... She would have... been proud... of you.'' She whispered
The end, her heart stopped. So does my world. I say nothing, I start to walk to the door. And after one last apologies I step outside into the mid-afternoon sun, before everything stops.
THE END
