The Aftermath
It was finally over. Buffy stared out of the window as the school bus bounced over the bumpy road through the desert. Giles had chosen to travel off the beaten track as the media were blocking the highway racing to cover the story of the destruction of Sunnydale. The bus rolled past the city limits as helicopters flew overhead, swooping down to look at the enormous crater.
A few desert residents told reporters that they saw a meteor flying through the sky and crashed into the centre of town, so no one questioned, it was a reasonable answer after all andno one would ever guess the true reason.
Protectively wedged between Buffy and the bus window was Buffy's sister Dawn, exhausted she had rested against Buffy's shoulder. The bus eventually silenced as the passengers nursed their injuries and tried to understand everything that had just happened.
After all, even with the odds stacked against them they had defeated the first evil, the thousands of ubavamps were destroyed. After the intial shock of victory, a joy had spread over everyone, followed by a realisation that very few of them had survived. Buffy, Dawn, Giles, Robin, Faith,Xander, Willow, Kennedy, Andrew and a handful of newly awakened slayers were the only ones left. Anya had died defending Andrew and Spike had died defending them all. Spike...
Buffy's throat closed up, tears started to form. Spike was gone. He had stayed in the hellmouth, wearing the amulet and burst in a ray of light, she wished that somehow he could have left with her and still saved the world.
Buffy glanced over towards Xander, he was dealing with his own grief, he had his head in his hands concealing the patch over the eye that Celeb had earlier destroyed. Willow was bent down over Robin, healing the wounds that had been inflicted upon him. Faith was hunced down next to Willow, although her attention lay solely on Buffy....
Please let me know what you all think so far? shall i carry on??
