"I heard a rumour there was one less vampire walking around making a nuisance of himself."
"There is. Guess I have you to thank for the tip."
"Pleasure's mine."
"Course, it would make things easier if I knew how to get in touch with you."
"I'll be around."
"Or who you were?...Well anyway, you can have your jacket back."
"It looks better on you."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo
"I wish we could be regular kids."
"Yeah. I'll never be a kid."
"Okay, then a regular kid and her cradle-robbing, creature of the night, boyfriend."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo
Los Angeles was in flames. There was no water to put it out. So many were dead on the ground. Only a few people remained standing and fighting. They were fighting against so many. It looked like a hopeless fight for the few brave individuals. Evil creatures surrounded them, laughing.
"You think you can beat us, you pathetic beings?" one of the big monsters taunted. "Just give up now, and I might let you live for a few more days."
One of the men turned around, to face the monster. "If we give up now, we're even more pathetic than you, that, and I wouldn't be able to do this," the man said, swinging a sword at the creature, chopping off its head.
The man turned back around with a triumphant smile. "Bring it on," he said, as a massive group of evil beings swarmed him and the other remaining people.
The man's face became clear just seconds before he was swarmed. It was Angel.
Buffy woke up screaming.
Willow, Dawn and Xander came rushing into Buffy's room, not bothering to knock.
"What's wrong?" they all asked.
Buffy didn't answer them. She grabbed frantically for her phone and began dialling a phone number with trembling fingers.
"Pick up. Pick up," she muttered.
She closed her eyes with worry. She let the phone ring for a good minute. After that time had passed, she gave up and hung up.
"I need to get to L.A. now," Buffy said.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Angel is in big trouble. L.A's practically gone, burned to the ground. There are so many dead people there. I need to get there now. And I need whatever help I can get. One of you, please, go to the Slayers, and ask if any of them are willing to come with me and fight. Hurry," Buffy said, as she poured as many weapons as she possibly could into a bag.
"Buffy, just because you had a dream, doesn't mean-"
"Xander, I know you're not Angel's biggest fan, but please. Trust me on this one," Buffy begged.
"Okay. I'll see who I can round up," he said, quickly leaving.
"I'm coming with you," Dawn said to her sister.
"No way in hell are you coming with me. Pretty much all I saw was death over there, Dawnie.
It's too dangerous for you. I know you're tough, but that stuff is not for you. Do not argue with me," Buffy said breathing heavily. "You stay here with Giles, and you help him keep everything under control."
"I'm coming with you," Willow told Buffy. "If it's really as bad as you say you saw it was, I can probably help out a bit."
"Okay, Willow, you're with me. Dawn you go tell Giles what's going on, and you stick with him. Got it?" Buffy said, trying to stay calm.
"Yeah, yeah," Dawn mumbled.
"Good," Buffy said, kissing Dawn's forehead. "Now, go."
Dawn lef,t and Buffy and Willow quickly followed.
Buffy's cell phone rang.
"Who's coming?" was how Buffy answered the phone.
"They're not," Xander said uneasily.
"None of them?" Buffy said, astonished.
"They don't want to leave just because you had a dream," Xander tried to explain.
"Whatever, bye Xander. Keep an eye on Dawn for me," Buffy said, hanging up the phone.
"It's just you and me, Will," Buffy said, pissed off.
"Well, we don't need a plane then. This will be faster anyway," Willow said, wrapping her arms around Buffy.
"We're going to L.A."
With that, the two women took off into the air.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Oo
Buffy felt sick when they finally landed on solid ground, but brushed that feeling aside quickly.
"They were in a big alleyway or something," Buffy said nervously, looking at the destruction all around her. There was fire almost everywhere.
"We're gonna need a little more than an alleyway, Buffy," Willow said.
"From where they were, I could see a big Wolfram and Hart sign, it was almost above them," Buffy said.
"Okay, that I can work with," Willow said, grabbing Buffy again, heading back into the air.
It didn't take long to find the alleyway, they didn't even look for the Wolfram and Hart sign. They saw a huge fight going on and they knew that's where they needed to be.
"Holy crap," Buffy said. "Okay, here's my plan. Angel and his gang are still alive down there. So we do some destruction up here," Buffy said, nodding her head in the direction of all the flying beasts, that hadn't yet spotted Buffy and Willow.
"You fly and I'll slay," Buffy said, holding onto Willow with one arm and grabbing a small sword from her bag with the other.
"Okay sounds like a plan," Willow said nervously. "Where to first?"
"That big ugly blue thing," Buffy said, sword ready in her hand.
Willow flew in that direction, and Buffy stabbed the sword into what seemed to be the neck of the flying creature. Whatever part of it she had stabbed, had done the trick. The thing evaporated into thin air.
"If I could high-five you right now, I would," Willow said, still with a note of worry in her voice.
Buffy laughed nervously. "Orange beasty thing," she directed.
Willow steered in that direction. Buffy stabbed at this thing with the sword, but wasn't really ready for what came next. This thing had a head that sprung out at Buffy, and tried to literally bite hers and Willow's head off.
"Keep flying Will," Buffy said frantically. She withdrew the sword from where she originally stabbed it, and swung it at its head with as much strength as she could muster, beheading the nasty beast.
"That was scary close," Willow said, though she was laughing now.
Buffy laughed too. It was crazy, they really shouldn't be laughing, but what else was there to do when you were this close to death, cry? There was no time to cry, only fight.
"Will, they still don't see us. If we can get rid of these last two flying pieces of crap, we can help them out down there, too."
"Then that's what we're gonna do," Willow said, going after the next creature.
This thing was enormous. "Buffy, you better get another sword," Willow warned, turning Buffy around in mid-air so that now Willow was literally holding her in a hug. This was the only way to free both of Buffy's arms so that she could fight.
Buffy grabbed another sword, and now held two, ready to plunge them into the next creature.
"I know I haven't said it a lot lately, Will, but I love you," Buffy said.
"We're not gonna die yet, Blondie," Willow said.
"I know that."
"Okay good. As long as that wasn't your goodbye to me. I love you too, Buffy."
"Now let's go slay some more demon ass," Buffy said, as the quickly approached the new monster.
This one quickly turned around and saw them coming. Wings shot out so rapidly toward Buffy and Willow that she had no time to blink.
Willow swerved, and Buffy chopped off one of its wings. It came after them again, but Buffywas ready. She plunged both of her swords into this thing's head, and it turned to dust.
Only one left to go. And it still didn't see Buffy and Willow. It was too busy watching the destruction below, waiting to be called down there.
Buffy grabbed this creature's neck and snapped it back, quickly chopping off its head.
"Okay. That's done," Willow said, practically panting. "We need to go down now. I need to see what happened. I'm bleeding, and I can't keep us up any longer."
Willow landed them on a roof, and then rolled over on her side.
"What the hell, Will?" Buffy said worriedly.
"That big one caught me with something."
There was blood all over the place. Willow was bleeding like crazy.
"No. No. No," Buffy gasped.
