Part 8:
Claire's eyes flickered open and she sat up slowly. Her sight was blurred and she rubbed her eyes, then slowly looked towards the clock. She could just see it in the pale light the moon cast into the room. 1:10 am. DAMN! She hadn't meant to stay so long.
She extinguished the candles and quietly went and put them back where she found them. Picking up the few crystals she had used, she placed them in the drawer with her other belongings.
As she climbed into bed, she thought over the day's happenings. She was pretty sure that Angel would be coming to Sunnydale now. And she hadn't broken any rules...she hadn't TOLD him who she was, she just let him guess. That was okay...wasn't it? She hoped to God it was because otherwise she was in a LOT of trouble!!
Claire closed her eyes, trying to sleep but nothing happened. If anything, she was more awake now then she had been before. She got up again and walked back over to the set of drawers, using the moonlight to find her way. She opened the top drawer and rummaged around until she found her diary, she made her way back to the bed, flipping to the back of the book again. She looked at it for a few minutes, before placing it on the stand next to her, open to a page. On that page was a picture of Buffy and Angel...on their wedding day.
