All Buffy characters belong to Whedon not me.
*Xander and Buffy have been dating since he came back from his road
trip after graduation (season 4). The relationship will be shown
throughout the story.
*Anya was killed during Graduation and had never gone to the prom with
Xander.
*Willow and Oz never happened. They went out on a few dates and he
did become part of the Scobbies, but that was it. Willow did go all-mental
in season 4 and cast different spells. Xander was mute. Giles was still
blind. Buffy was did not have any slayer powers. She went off the deep
end after she realized that she would never be able to be anything other
then will. D'Hoffryn still shows interest in her though, and wanted to
make her a demon.
*Tara and Willow are an item.
*The initiative did put the chip in Spike. Reilly was only Buffy's
friend and she was never part of the initiative. She did defeat Adam.
*The First Slayer told Buffy her gift was life-in-death.
*For the sake of my story Buffy was killed battling Glory July 25.
The story will start August 1. Immediately after the battle Giles was called
to England by the council and still is not back.
Now to the story.
The sun was just slowly rising over her grave
when he got there. He fell to his knees in front of the stone, sobs racking
his body. His body was covered in sweat, and cuts littered his arms.
"Buffy…" was all he managed to get out before his
sobs overwhelm him. Trying to regain his composure he takes several deep
breathes. "Dawn is…well she is alive. We all are thanks to you. God Buffy
I love you so much it hurts. I bought you something before…"giving up he
lets the sobs overtake him as he stares at the stone.
A beeping sound grabs his attention. Looking down
at his belt he sees the number of the hospital on the beeper. Standing
up he glanced around the cemetery once more. "I'll be back Buffy, Dawn
comes home today and we all want to be there for her." Turning around quickly
before he could change his mind he left her grave behind.
