The Great Beyond

By Pandora North Star

Dear Willow,

I don't know how to explain what I am about to do. Yet I can quite easily. My complete reason for existance was for her. My Buffy. she is the beginning and the end of everything in my world.

I send Wesley with this note for you. He's to daft to read it and you were always the most understanding of everyone. I'm so sorry for your lose. You must be hurting just as much as I am. But my pain is different than yours. You've always had Xander. Wheras my world revolved around Buffy. She was my sun that I could never see.

That is why this choice is so right. In a few minutes the sun will rise. And I will go and greet it as it heralds a new day. It will bring a new and different world for me. One where I can find my love and we can be together again.

You see I went to LA to wait for her and myself. For my Shanshu to come. We talked about it once when she found out. But then IT happened. How am I supposed to explain this? MY soul ceased to have meaning. I could have reverted back to Angelus and there was non one there who cared enough to save me. You might have tried. But you aren't The Slayer. Buffy.

Tell Xander I'm sorry for loving her and for being the man I am. I couldn't help it.

And tell Giles I will always be sorry about Jenny. Cordelia might try to explain this all. She will take it the hardest I suppose. Just try to help her.

I never thought I would be one to commit suicide. But there is no after Buffy. I know how selfish this is but truthfully how many will miss me?Thats what got me. Not very many. The ones I've helped have forgotten me by now. I've outlived everyone else. This old body has seen to much evil. This soul is tired of trying. It's time for a rest.

I can see the first rays of light breaking the horizon. It won't be long now. I'm taping the letter to the door as I speak. My clatter ring is attached so it won't burn. Leave it on her grave for me won't you? Goodbye Willow. May we meet again in the Great Beyond.

Love Always,

The Vampire Angel
