My Letters, Just In Case

by Pink Crane

I know she didn't die and she killed the Master. I always wondered what if she had written letters to her friends and family, in case she died. This is my take on it, enjoy. Rated T just in case

1. Mom and Giles

This is sort of my AU for the season 1 finale. Buffy writes each of her friends a letter, her mom, Giles and Angel of course.

I knew what I had to do, I was the only one who could do it. But, just in case I don't make it back alive. I pull out my notebook and grab a pen,

Mom,

If you are reading this it means I failed. That I'm not coming home, I love you. I'm sorry about what happened back in L.A., I couldn't tell you why I burned down the gym. It was full of Vampires, yes I know those things only exist in stories, movies, and television. But, thats the thing. They are real, and I was born to stop them. To save the world from them, ask Giles, he will tell you everything, I'll write a letter telling him to tell you everything. I'm the Slayer, I had to kill those vampires in L.A. and tonight I have to kill the leader of the vampires here in Sunnydale. He's called the master and according to this book Giles has, when I fight him, I'm going to die. I don't want to die, but if I have to then I will take him with me. I love the dress, if I had more time, anyway tell Dad I love him. I'm not going to write a letter to him, he wouldn't understand. I love you mom, at least if I don't make it back you know that. I know that I disappointed you, a lot. But, know it was for the greater good. So I'm off to save the world, Be safe mom.

Love,

Buffy

I folded the letter and wrote her name across the front. I started on Giles's next. It's funny how even after this short time, her became more like family then a watcher to her.

Giles,

I know you didn't deserve what I said to you earlier, without you I would have been dead already. I want you to know that I am glad you are my watcher, I count on your help alot more then you think. I'm writing this as my might-be last thoughts, I don't plan on dying tonight, if I do though, My mom has a letter I will put in with the other letters to Willow, Angel and Xander. Please after she reads it tell her everything you can. She will need your help, I'm her only daughter and she'll be all alone. I...God, I'm crying. You are like a father to me, I haven't thought of you as only my watcher in a long time. This is my destiny and I will take him with me if I die. It's not your fault, I know that and you should too. So Giles, if I don't make it back. I want you to train my successor, she will need your training and help. I want you to promise me, that no matter what you will not give up. This is what I have to do.

Love always,

Buffy "Slayer and Chosen One"
