Unseen Angel

*~*~*~*~*

"Don't do it." When she didn't respond he continued. "I love you. Don't do it, for me. Stay and let me love you."

She stared at him unsure of what to do. The silence was broken by someone shouting for help.

"That's Tara." Xander said as Tara ran up and hid behind him.

Oz/wolf came running up, and Faith moved faster that ever before. There was a loud bang, then silence as Oz/wolf fell to the ground whimpering.

"Only trust a silver bullet." Faith muttered before she broke down and started crying. Xander had never seen her like this, and rushed over to her. Pulling her into a hug for comfort.

Tara made her way over to where Oz had landed. He was going to die, no question. But at the moment he was still fighting for life. She sat next to him and took his hand. He was shaking and blood was oozing from the hole in his chest.

He struggled, but he managed to whisper, "Lover her… for me." Oz took one last breath and was gone. He looked pained even though the pain had left him.

Just then, Willow, Buffy, Spike, Dawn, Anya, Wes, Cordy, and Angel arrived at the scene. They had heard the gun shot at the shop and cam as fast as they could. Fred and Gunn had stayed with Connor.

"What happened? Is everyone -" Buffy was cut off.

"Oz?" Willow rushed to his side, checking his pulse. "Is he… " She couldn't bring herself to sat it, even though she knew it was true.

Tara shook her head and watched her love cry over the man next to her. He had been Will's first real love, and he still meant a lot even though they broke up. Slowly, Tara took her into her arms and held her.

'I loved him. Hell, I still love him. He's gone, and he's not coming back. Oh God, Oz is gone.'
