***June 12*** (Willows pov)

It's been almost two weeks and Buffy hasn't spoken more than a word to anyone. I'm writing now because this is still her story and it needs to be written down, even if she won't come near this journal. I read what she wrote and decided that it couldn't end here. So here's the rest.

Everything did not go as planned with the turning and the curse. From what Giles was able to gather, the Counsel had Buffy's house watched. They discovered what we were planning and stopped us. The stopping involved… Oh God! This is hard for me; I can't imagine what Buffy must feel! They stopped us by shooting an arrow through Angel's heart. He's dead!

I think Buffy blames herself. She couldn't save him, what with being chained up and all. I know she feels horrible. She's determined to go join Angel as soon as she can. But, the really sad thing is, I think she may be getting better. That long awaited Slayer-strength has finally kicked in. Now that she may live, I wonder if she'll even want to…
