Nightmare
Buffy's Point Of View
"I love you." Angel said
I touched my fingers to his lips for the last time. My eyes filling with tears.
"Close your eyes." I said
My voice sounded strained even to my own ears. I took a step back and plunged the sward through his heart he looked at me with such confusion and innocence that it broke my heart.
"Buffy?" He asked questioningly
I choked back the sob and made my face impassive the swirling vortex enveloped him. Then finally made him disappear. I went crashing down to my knees. The tears were free flowing.
I woke with a start. I looked around my little apartment. Hoping that the past few months were just a nightmare that would end but they weren't. I got up and threw on some cloths and went down the stairs.
I started to wonder the streets. I came to a small shop. I went in. Walked in on a vampire attacking the proprietor. I grabbed the stake that was in the waist band of my jeans and staked the vampire. The woman didn't look any worse for the ware.
"Thank you for saving my life." the woman said
I just shrugged.
"I have something for you if you would come to the back room with me." the woman said.
My eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"I am a Wicca practitioner you have nothing to fear from me. I merely have something that could change the course of your life." she said
"What do you mean?" I asked cautiously
"Everyone has defining moments in life some of them are good some of them are bad. I am offering you the choice to change one of them." the woman said.
