A very short story that sprung from Inspiration!… Where that inspiratin came from is beyond me…most things are.
Disclaimer: Not mine…you had to spoil the fantasy. They belong to Joss (stupid name) David (copied name) and Mutant (grr, arr) Enemy (scary name)
Piece of Wisdom: Just 'cos it's SUMMER…don't mean it's SUNNY!
Ain't No Sunshine…
* Nutty *
The rain poured from overhead, each drop like her own tears. Tears were falling out of hate she had done this to him, hate that he had done this to her and grief for her friend that was now gone. Her heart broke in two at the betrayal and the loss her heart was bearing. She couldn't even feel the water as it fell on her clothes and filtered through to her skin. Even the shudder that snaked its way up her spine was not enough to pull this brave woman from her grief. Why did he have to do it? Why couldn't he have came to her and told that he was Hell bent on making it all right again? If she had known she never would have told him but she did. Now his life was over and nobody would be there to share it all with her. Her baby would grow up without a father, without knowing what a good man he was. She would blow to the size of a balloon and he wouldn't be there to tease her about it all. No, he was gone and it was all her fault.
She had made him a promise he begged her to keep. It went against everything that she believed in and to do it took of her resolve and determination now he was just dust in the rain, washed away before she had a chance to mourn. It was just like everyone else she knew, all dead. Willow had died in a car crash with Xander, they were heading into LA to see one of Oz's gigs when a 10 tonne truck decided to take them on and it won. The shock to her heart had been dramatic. They had survived so much together; high school, the hell mouth, various splits and reunions and now they were gone. Dawn evaporated one day into her ball of energy now that the hellmouth was sealed and that Glory had been removed once and for all. The balance between light and darkness once again equal but her light was slowly fading. Angel stood by her side and now she felt invincible. At last her dreams were coming true. Her true love stood by her side and they fought in battle, even Giles was there…well he never could resist a Hellmouth. They all fought side by side until now.
A crack of thunder overhead finally caught her attention and she looked up into the black sky. The heavens were mourning with her, at their loss of a warrior. 'Where was his Shansu now?' She felt like shouting, as if they would hear her. How would she cope without him? The Powers had screwed her over again and this time she wasn't let them get away with it.
A light hand clasped on her shoulder. The stake fell from her hand to where the ashes would have been and stopped dead.
"Come on Cordelia, let's go."

Well I know I knocked it up in under an hour but the thunder and lighting show we have just had has made me depressed. Snow in July…it's meant to be summer. Any reviews for me…give me smiles!
