Part 3
She kissed Angel and told him, "I love you." Knowing it would be her last chance.
Buffy jumped up and pounded the vampire that killed the one she loved. She had basically always said, "You slay the vamps, not beat them to a bloody pulp." But this was a special circumstance.
She had him on the ground in front of her, and was punching and kicking and doing everything she could to make him feel pain. After only a few minutes of this, the vamp was knocked unconscious.
Spike came up behind her and lightly tapped her shoulder, "Buffy..." She turned to him, tears were steadily streaming down her face, and her lower lip quivered. Spike felt his dead heart break for her; she looked like a child, so weak.
He reached for the stake in her hand, and she let him take it. She didn't even move as Spike kicked the vampire over onto his back, and slammed the stake into his heart. With gritted teeth he stood and brought Buffy to him and held her limp body.

Spike cried too, and held her to close to him, knowing she was now the only one left, and that she would soon leave him too. She wouldn't survive very long without him, so he had to keep her as long as he could.

He pushed a strand of hair out of her face, "It's okay, I'm not leaving you, yet." Her eyes grew wide, and she slowly looked up, "Angel?"
