Weak Chapter 2

By: Bem3373

AN: THIS STORY'S TIME PERIOD WILL NOT MAKE SENSE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT SEASON THIS IS IN. DAWN WILL NOT BE IN THIS FANFICTION. BUFFY'S MOM HAS ALREADY DIED, AND BUFFY STILL LIVES IN HER MOM'S HOUSE. THIS IS AFTER ANGEL LEAVES FOR GOOD.

Buffy's POV

Buffy slowly opens her eyes. For a moment, she can't see anything but the color white, until her eyes adjust. The first thing she see's is Angel looking at her. "You're awake. How, I mean, how do you feel?" Buffy uses her arms as props for sitting up. "I don't really know. Nothing hurts, or anything. But I feel different. Lighter almost." Angel looks down. Giles notices that she's awake and walks over. "Buffy. I see you're awake. I trust you feel alright?" Buffy nods. "Is there something wrong with me?" She asks. Jackson steps up beside Giles. "Well, in actuality no. You're free of all things strange." He says. Buffy looks at him confused. "What is that supposed to mean?" She asks. Angel doesn't look up. Giles makes a small coughing noise and then looks at Buffy and says "The vampire injected you with something called Hertity. (AN: JUST NOTICED HOW YOU MIGHT BE PRONOUNCING IT! HAHA- IT'S HAIRTETY PRETTY MUCH) We watchers used to use it for testing the slayers. It makes you lose your powers." "So that means I don't have my powers right now, but I'll get them back?" Buffy asks. "Not exactly." Giles replys. "You see, Watchers stopped using it because the effects weren't short term. They were lifelong." Jackson says. "My powers, are gone?" Angel finally looks up. Giles then nods. "Is there a cure? I mean how am I supposed to kill vampires without powers?" Buffy asks. "You're not." Angel says. Giles looks at both of them and says "Patroling would be too dangerous for you. Angel will be doing all patrolling. I'm sorry Buffy. There isn't a cure. You're normal." "Normal?" Buffy smiles. "I'm normal? No more patrolling? I can just be a regular girl?" Giles looks at her strangely. "you're happy?" "Of course I'm happy! I don't have to deal with any of that anymore!" Buffy's smile grows. Angel looks at her with a half a smile. "So I guess you feel better." He says.

12 HOURS LATER

Buffy walks around the small apartment while Giles and Jackson sit on the small couch. Angel stands leaning against the wall watching Buffy. "Why can't I leave? I mean it's not like I'm the first person that's been given this. It's not dangerous. Why can't I go home?" Giles looks at her and says "It's not that the potion is dangerous, but that you could run into a vampire. How are you supposed to protect yourself? Even Willow and Xander and me had trouble killing one vampire with each other." Buffy looks at him frowning until she looks at Angel. "Angel can take me home!" Giles frowns, and then looks at Angel. Angel shrugs and Giles looks back at Buffy. "All right. But no detours. Go straight home." Buffy nods and walks towards Angel. He gently puts his arm around her shoulders and they exit through the door.

Spike looks at Drusilla and smiles. "The plan is working. The slayer has lost all her powers. We can kill her easily now." Drusilla smiles and holds up a small yellow canary. "My birdie won't sing for me." Drusilla closes the hand that holds the bird tightly. A small squeak is heard and then bright red blood is seen dripping down her arm. "All better." Drusilla says. Spike laughs. "Soon, my darling, that nasty slayer will be dead. Then we can finally have our fun with Sunnydale." The two share a laugh, and Drusilla leans against Spike and drops the dead, bloody canary onto the ground.

Buffy smiles and looks up at Angel. His arm is wrapped around her shoulders protectively, and he keeps on glancing around, sure that some demon is about to jump out and kill Buffy. Buffy gives a small laugh and says "If you keep turning your head around you're gonna get whiplash." Angel looks down at her confused, and Buffy laughs again. The two walk up to the small two story house and Buffy pulls out a small silver key from her pocket. Buffy quickly unlocks the door, and they both step into the house. Angel looks around the room. "There aren't any vampires here. I didn't invite any of them in." Buffy say. "I just want to make sure." "ok. While you're busy playing detective, I'll be in my room changing." Angel gives her a slight nod, and Buffy rolls her eyes as she walks up the stairs and into her room. Once inside Buffy begins looking through her closet for some comfort clothes. She pulls out a pair of worn-in jeans and a white tank top. As Buffy takes her shirt off, and reaches for her tank top Angel walks in. "All cle- oh sorry." He says and quickly turns around. Buffy laughs and says "There is such a thing as underwear. I'm not naked." Angel still doesn't turn around. Buffy pulls on the tank top and decides to just keep the pants on she has on. Buffy gives a small laugh and then says "You can look now." Angel turns around and shakes his head and rolls his eyes at her easy-goingness. Buffy smiles at him and walks over to him where he puts his arm around her and she lays her head against his chest. Suddenly they are interrupted by a rock being thrown into her room through the window. Glass shatters, and Angel notices a note attached to the rock. "Stay back." Angel warns and goes and picks up the rock. Buffy walks up to him and looks at the note he now holds in his hand. The note reads:

The slayer will die. Then everyone she loves will die. Then all of Sunnydale will die. There is no cure.
