Chapter 7 – Slaying and Prophesies
Angel landed and stood up slowly. "Well that's one way to do it," he commented before moving towards the dragon's head. He then heard something hit behind him. He turned to see Buffy. "Beloved what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Giving you a hand. I figured you might need it," she said and he pulled her to him and kissed her softly.
"There's no one I'd rather have by my side."
"That's good to know," she commented before moving away from him and towards the head. Angel followed her and suddenly was glad that he hadn't sacrificed himself earlier. There's nowhere he'd rather be than here with her. They reached the head and Buffy turned to him. "Now what?"
"We make it blind," he said simply and then stabbed his sword into the dragon's eye. Buffy followed his lead and did the same to the other one. The dragon screamed and blew some more fire. It thrashed and Buffy lost her footing. Angel was by her side in a flash holding her up.
"Thanks, it's nice to know you'll catch me if I fall," she said.
"Always, Beloved, Always," he replied setting her back on her feet.
"Do I get to stick my sword in its head yet?" she asked with child's delight in her eyes. She's one of a kind that's for sure, Angel thought smirking.
"Of course you do Buffy, you are the chosen one."
"Not anymore," she said and he thought he saw sadness flash through her eyes.
"You always will be, you are the last of the chosen slayers. No body can match that," he said seriously and she smiled.
"You always did know how to make me feel better," she told him.
"Are you going to do the honor?"
"Why don't we do it together?" she asked and he nodded.
"Together," and then the both slammed their swords into the dragons head. It let out a screech before plummeting to the ground. As they fell both of them could've sworn they heard Cordelia's voice say:
"Two lovers, bound by love separated by a curse, shall come together for one last fight; the end of days, together they shall slay the evil creatures of the night and set right what so long ago was wronged. Then and only then shall the world return to its rightful ways and light shall once again over come the darkness."
