Buffy grabbed a knife out of the belt of one of the demons and easily sliced through he ropes binding Willow. "You ready Will?"

Willow nodded her head and Buffy disappeared in front of their eyes and reappearing behind Gramgore. She placed her arms around his waist and held on tight. "Now Will!!!"

Willow mumbled her spell under her breath and Buff watched, as the spell wasn't able to be finished when the spear of a Pulgara demon went right through her best friend. Willow stared down at the bloody thing protruding from her. She looked right at Buffy and said the final word of the spell Sending Buffy and Gramgore somewhere they could fight alone.

They both landed on their feet a couple of blocks from the factory. Gramgore immediately threw her off of him and glared down at her. "Well looks like your witch has more power than I thought. Too bad she had to be killed."He tilted his head as if he was listening to a voice that only he could hear and grinned widely. "Well sounds like she's not the only dead one."

"What are you talking about?"

"You're little friends, they're all dead." He sighed and shook his head. "Including my dearest dawn. Too bad I could have used her. Now my spell is broken."

"No.you're lying. They're not dead."

"Even you're vampire lovers are now on their way to hell." Buffy shook her head in unbelief and he tilted his head to the side in amusement. "You want proof? That can be arranged." He said as he grabbed her hand and her shook from the impact of sudden visions invading her mind.

She saw Angel fighting a demon she had never seen before; she could also see a figure standing behind him. That figure was dawn and she was crying. She had her hands in front of her with blood seeping through. "No.Dawn." Buffy said softly as the vision continued.

Angel didn't see the demon he was fighting pull out a stake from behind his back and embed it deeply in Angels chest turning him to dust instantly. Spike saw the demon heading in Dawns direction and ran towards him heroically. It didn't do any good because the demon just staked him as soon as he was in reach.

Buffy was immediately shown around the room and she saw something that made her incredibly sick to her stomach. All of her friends were piled on top of each other, blood covering their bodies, and a single demon stood staring with a satisfied grin on its face.

It hit her then. Her friends had given up their lives for her. Just so she could save the world. Everyone she cared about was gone and if she didn't beat Gramgore then the entire world would be too.

Gram gore brought her out of the vision and she stood before him dazed and somewhat unaware of him. "Are you satisfied slayer?"

Buffy glared up at him angrily and flew at him with an assault based of punches and back kicks. He easily blocked her and sent a power ball flying straight at her. "Oh you're going to have to do better than that." She said, jumping out of the way.

"You're too confident for your own good. Don't you know when you've been beaten? You're alone in this. It's impossible for you to beat me now." He effortlessly counteracted every single move she made. Buff found her self tiring and beginning to give up. The final straw was when he punched her with all her head and sent her soaring towards and old building. Buffy groaned in agony when she went straight through the house and her leg was impaled by a metal rod.

"Oh really great Buffy. You've really done it this time." She stifled a scream as she broke off the Medal rod and pulled it out of her now throbbing leg. She looked around at her new sanctuary and found that she was now inside an old store that had long since been abandoned.

There was an old rag sitting on the counter and she grabbed it so she could tie it around her leg and stop the bleeding. It was very painful, but it was pain that she was going to bare because she had no right to complain. She was alive and her friends weren't.

Buffy limped over to the window and a tear slid down her cheek as she saw the dim glow of the sun trying to come up. She walked out the door, sat down on the sidewalk and began to cry. She decided that she had better enjoy the perfection in front of her while she still could.

Time stood still and all she could do was stare at the incredibly bright light that was coming from the horizon. There was nothing she could do about the things that had happened to her and the loss that she'd felt over the course of a few hours. All of these agonizing thoughts washed over her in this one moment.this moment that she knew was probably one of her last.

Her only reason for living was gone and she no longer felt as if there was anything important in the world. It had all been destroyed. All her friends and her own flesh and blood. They had been taken from her by a single action caused by her doubt. She had never actually believed she could beat Gramgore and the fight she had just lost proved that.

If only she'd listened to what they'd all tried to tell her. They had believed in her and she had to admit the feeling to give up only happened after she'd been thrown in the house. Even Spike had thought she could do it. He didn't really say that, but she could tell by his look that he trusted her completely. She'd let them all down so easily.

Spike really did love her. He'd proven that when he'd fought with her friends and died trying to save Dawn. That alone pained her that her sister had been drawn into to the situation and used to bring them all down was terrible.

She noticed that the warehouse was so much closer than she thought. She could hear the yelling from and she knew it was time to accept her fate and give it one last shot. Either take Gramgore down or become the last slayer that ever walked the earth.

Her hair blew around her face as she stood up and dusted off the back of her pants. "Here we go." She stated simply as she walked straight into the demon-infested building. Blood covered everything that had once been extremely clean.

She was immediately bombarded by demons. "So Slayer you've returned. I thought you would have given up by now. You loved ones did."

"No, they're the only ones that didn't." She said giving the evil figure a chilling smile and beginning her attack.

They seemed to come from every direction, in every size, and figure. Crowding around her like the cowards they were. Unwilling to give her a one on one fight. Her arms and legs were flailing everywhere and nothing she did seemed to touch them.

"Time to die slayer." Her body went limp as that threat was thought to have been carried out and she was lowered to the floor. Her mind was still aware of what was happening, but her limbs were to heavy to move. She allowed her eyes to close and her mind yet again filled with the events of the day.





I'm sorry that was such a short chapter, but I'm working on Chapter 5. This should be on of the last chapters. Please tell me what you think.
