FALLEN AND BROKEN
A/N: I've written Gilmore Girls fanfic for a while, and the shows got a very different sound. Whereas GG is light, Buffy can be angsty as hell. After writing all kinds of fluff, I read an angsty Spuffy fanfic and got the inspiration from that one and the song, Slither. I miss the angstness of Buffy.
The song's called Slither by Velvet Revolver
He knows something is wrong the second he enters the dark house. His enhanced vampire senses quickly track down the heartbeats. But there is only one heartbeat and it's so faint.
Her heartbeat is different after she came back somehow. It's only a slight change and he didn't catch it for a long time.
He locates her and runs to the bathroom, where he stops dead in his track.
When
you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, fell to my
knees
Fallen, broken every single time
Always keep me under
finger
That's the spot where you would (sue) me
Might see some
type of pleasure in my mind
Yeah, here comes the water
It
comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Her clothes is scattered around the floor alongside glass from the broken mirror.
The water in the bathtub is red. It's filled with blood and water. Her small hands are holding her body under the water with supernatural strength.
The sound of her weakening heartbeat is the only sign she's still alive.
When
you seek me you destroy me
Rape my mind and smell the poppies
Born
in blood in every single time
Always keep me under
finger
That's the spot where you might linger
But I see some
type of pleasure in my mind
Yeah, here comes the water
It
comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Like
holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This
time with me
Finally he gets himself together and pulls her out of the water.
,,What the bloody hell are you doing, you stupid crazy insane suicidal bint!'' he yells at her. ,,Have you completely lost your fucking mind!''
He shakes her roughly, his tears blurring his eyes. She's crying too.
She naked, but he doesn't notice. He was so terrified, he'd lost her again, and all reasoning leaves him.
,,Is life a sick soddin' joke to you?!'' he asked her angrily. ,,Is life treating you so badly?''

Hey, hey, hey
They slide to the ground, her holding on to him for dear life.
They sit together for a while, until the power of her Slayer blood overwhelmed his senses and he noticed the cut on her wrists. They were so deep; they hadn't had time to heal yet.
He tends to her silently.
When she's finally lying in her bed, she motions for him to lie beside him.
,,Goodnight, Buffy.'' He whispered and she fell asleep, without waking up from claustrophobic nightmares.
They never spoke of it again.
