Willow trudged up the stairs. She had a long night with Amy, the two had turned the bronze into a whole new place, again. She was wiped out. She just wanted to wash her face and crash.

" Willow, is that you? Come in here," Dawn called from her room.

Surprised, Willow cautiously walked into Dawn's room. There she met Dawn white faced and pacing back and forth like a lion in a cage.

" What is it?"

" It's Buffy, I haven't seen her in hours. The suns going to be up soon, she should be done patrolling. She hasn't called, and she left the house, she was like upset or something. I don't know where she is or what she's doing."

" Maybe she's over at Spike's."

" No I don't think so, she was too upset when she left."

Willow slowly turned her thoughts over in her head.
"Dawn, Buffy is the slayer, she can take care of herself, I'm sure she's all right. If she's not here in a couple of hours we'll go look for her, okay?"

"Fine," grumbled Dawn, " But I'm still worried about her. What if she's hurt?"


Buffy lay on the floor, her breaths coming in short raps. Blood covered the floor around her and her head felt dizzy.

" Damn this slayer crap," she whispered to herself. She had been lying there forever and she still wasn't dead. This was the one time she didn't like her slayer abilities. She wanted the pain to be over with, quickly. She closed her eyes and waited death to come greet her.

Meanwhile the moon had resided and a tinge of pale pink was begining to wash up over the mountains.

" Come on Buffy where are you?" Angel questioned himself.

The sun was almost up, he was in trouble. He would have to reside his look for her till tonight. He couldn't help it. He drove by the bronze and spotted a familiar place, his old apartment. He pulled the car over and got out. Running as fast as he could he pulled his jacket over his head and opened the door just as the sun came up...
