Losing hope

Willow ran her hand through her hair "I can't do this anymore" she exclaimed. She and Giles were drowning in piles and piles of books. Everyone else was reading and trying, mostly failing, to understand anything about what they said. "I give up" Everyone looked up at her confused. "What did you say" Dawn asked. "I give up. This is impossible. I can't do it. The spell doesn't exist. I can't create it" Xander shook his head "what are you saying Willow?" he asked a little shocked. She sighed "it's over." Giles nodded sadly "I'm afraid she's right, I don't think this anything left to do"

Dawn was desperately trying to stop herself crying again. The house was silent, everyone letting what they had just said sink in. They would have to kill her. Layla frowned "No" She exclaimed. Willow looked up at her. "Layla there's nothing we can do." Layla shook her head "there is something we can do. Only one thing we can do. That is, don't give up" Giles sighed "we have to." Layla glared at him "when you losing hope the only thing you can do is not give up. When there's no hope left the only thing you can do is go and find some. Then when there is no way in hell you can do anything you turn your back on whoever says you can't do it and you try anyway." She sighed "or you can give up now, convince yourself there was nothing you could do, but if your just gonna give up now, I'm not gonna help kill Buffy. That's the only other option. Maybe your right, maybe there's nothing left to do, maybe if we carry on like this we'll just fail completely, but maybe there is a spell out there, maybe we can do it, if you give up now, there is no way we'll ever know, and I hate not knowing. Don't you?"

Willow was going to have to leave the house at some point. Buffy smirked. Time for a little fun. Kill Willow; show them there really isn't any hope left. Willow had gone out to get a few supplies, see if they could contact anyone who might have any idea on how to restore Buffy's soul. Buffy followed her. Unfortunately she wasn't even going to make it home, never mind contact other worlds, or find a way to create a spell.

"Who's there" Willow called out. She had been in the Scooby gang to long not to realize when there was someone following her. "Oh just me" Buffy said with a smirk. Willow dropped the brown package in her arms. "What do you want?" she asked a little shocked but not at all scared which annoyed Buffy. Buffy shrugged "I want to know if you think you can create a spell," Willow nodded with a smile "we'll get it." . Buffy laughed "right even if you could you'd have to have a part of the old Buffy for the spell to cling onto. And that, will never, happen!" the way she said it, with such anger, and evil in her voice, made Willow take a step back. "Oh yeah also I thought I might kill you" Buffy said with a nod and a smile. "Because you guys seem to have hope, and I really don't like it, hope, it's such a useless thing, because hope never gets you anywhere" Willow shook her head "You're wrong. Hope is all we have left, and it's going to get us through this" Buffy sighed "well the scoobies gang is about to lose all there hope, because there about to lose you. Oh you'd better run"

Willow watched the houses, street signs, trees, and everything else, fly past as she ran. It wasn't Buffy, she could see it, and if there was any part of Buffy there she was never going to be found. She glanced behind her, no one there, but she didn't stop running. She turned off down an ally and heard footsteps behind her. Dead end. Damn it, she should have paid more attention, she was supposed to know Sunnydale. She turned around and backed up against the wall and saw Buffy there smirking. "You can't do it you know" Willow told her "there's no way you're going to destroy this world. You of all people should know that." Buffy smirked "The world?" she asked "what has the world ever done to me? It's just this town, so much hurt, pain, anger. I died here, three times. It's not the world I'm going to destroy, it's just this town. Then I'm going to go and see the world, if I like it, I'm taking over, making it mine and anyone who is there. If I don't like it, I'll destroy that to." Buffy got closer to Willow, now they were just inches apart, "and there's nothing you can do to stop me, because I'm going to kill every single one of you" she laughed. "Goodbye Willow. This is your stop. Your turn." Willow frowned "my turn?" Buffy nodded "I died three times, now it's your turn. Any last words?" She asked smiling. "Three" Willow replied "just three" Buffy frowned "what?" Willow smirked "look behind you."
