What Can I Say?
"Oz"
"Oz"
"Hmmm….Will…" Oz wasn't sure what was going on, a minute ago he had been having the best dream. He knew it was a dream because it had been years since he had last seen his Willow, but…
"Oz listen…"
He must still be sleeping, it was the only option. Willow was in Sunnydale with that girl and the others. Right?
"Oz, please just listen."
"Will?"
"Good."
"Will, are you here?" Oz rolled over in bed slowly opening his eyes, "Where..." He stopped, there she was. His Willow just as he remembered her, well her hair was different but still.
"Oz, uh hi. I...uh…" Willow paused
"Whoa, Will. Hey, what are you doing here?" Oz sat up and turned fully to face her.
"Right," Willow looked frightened, "Ok…Wow I don't know why this is so hard. I…uh…I came to tell you a couple things."
Oz noticed her eyes glaze just slightly as she looked behind her as if checking something, "Will that is a wall." He was confused and happy all at the same time. He had been dreaming of this for years, since the day he left her.
"Yeah, sorry. I thought I heard Dawn." She noted the crease in his brow, "I'm still in Sunnydale, at Buffy's, in my room. We…there is another big bad here. The biggest and oldest. It has been trying to…Well it wants the slayer dead. Yeah I know who doesn't right? Anyway, all of us, I mean Buffy…God…"
Oz was starting to get worried, Willow has always been like this, but this was almost like the time before graduation when she was thinking about everyone dying. Oh… "You wanted to say, goodbye?" He was about to get up, but she waved her hand in protest and he stayed.
"Listen. I just wanted everything to be clear. I am going to do something tomorrow that will…well…let's just say I don't know if I will see you again, and I wanted to make everything was clear. So you understand." She pause and walk over and sat in front of him on the floor. "When you…" Her breath caught.
"Will… When I left?"
"Yeah…I broke. I know you know that but, I mean really broke. And Terra was just really nice, and a witch like me, and…" A rough sob racked her body before she could stop herself.
"Wait, what? Will..." Again Oz tried started to go to her.
"No," she shook her head, "I'm ok... It was the magic, I loved her, but it was the magic. And when she…was killed…I lost it. I know you used to warn me about getting in over my head…and so did she, but her blood was on me, and I just…" For a second the room seemed to grow darker, and then evened out again. "I know why you left. For you it was Veruca. Your first and only. I mean you had tried before, but that was the wolf and…"
"Will, what are you talking about?"
"I killed…Warren…he shot her and Buffy. I wish that was the worst, but I tried to kill them all." Oz had never heard Willow like this before, "I tried to destroy the world." A tear run down her face.
"But you didn't cause, hey we're here." He gave her a small smile which she returned.
"Yeah…I went away for awhile and realized something. I loved you. And I will always love you. I know you have probably moved on and…"
"I haven't, never. I always hoped you'd come back to me." Oz's heart soared.
She smiled a little, "I wanted you to know. Because we're all not going to come out alive tomorrow…" a laugh escaped her mouth but it wasn't a Willow laugh...
"So you are saying goodbye." Oz didn't know what to say. What could he say, the love of his life came back, to say she was going to die.
"I won't lie. It is a really big possibility. The spell I am going to do tomorrow, if it works, will activate all the potential slayers in the world. I mean, I might live. But, I already told everyone that if the power is too much for me…if I go all evil again…that they have to end it...you know kill me."
"What! No, they can't, they wouldn't!" Oz took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second, trying to calm the wolf.
"They can. And they would have to. Oz if I live…and if you want to…I'd still, if you'd still."
"I'd always still." Always for my Willow.
A/N I am going to have two different epilogues for this story. One with a nice happy ending and one that won't be so happy. Anyway I hope you enjoyed the story, it is my first Buffy fanfic, and keep reading. Also I haven't seen the last episode in years, and I mean like the date it aired years, so I really don't remember if she would even have time to visit Oz. And yes I am leaving out Kennedy, I know this. I just have alway like Will and Oz the most out of all the pairing in the show, though Terra and Will did go well together.
