The things we leave behind

Chapter fifteen-The things behind

By Slaya

«I left my family, I left my friends, I left my life, I left them all.

And for what?!?

To let all the world down and let somebody destroy it?

I don t think so.

No.

Buffy told me to live and forget the non-sence about me dieing in five years or so.

I am a slayer, I am strong and I must live.

It has been told. It shall be done.

So now I will rip all of the monstreous chains surounding my weak being…and set myself free.

Caus I do not want to leave in vain the things I left behind.

It all comes to be so clear, so vivid.

A dream that I might have had.

I am in the right place. And it s the right time.

I havbe left all behind.

Love, joy, memories, sweet things and midnight sleeps. I have left it all.

To die, to fight trying, to be a strong stone in front of them all.

This is my duty.

This is my destiny

This is my all.

This is me.

I am Cassie. The vampire slayer.»

A big bang was heard from the room where the slayer was held.

Something in Lumie makes him hide the hope from his eyes. He musn t fail now. He has to play his part of the big bad demon till the end.

Black didn t seem worried.

The doors were locked shut.

And no thing alive or dead could penetrate the adamantium shield.

But a demon could.

Lumie did.

As Cassie set everyione free still with bloody hands of hers.

The glowing sphere stood stronger and wilder, empowered with anger.

Cassie remembered a spell that Red has taught her. And she managed to do then something that she never thought that she will be able to do.

She destroyed it. She used the witch in her and combined her with the slayer and added just the right amount….of herself.

Then she colapsed. Her work was done….for now.

Black was foolishly dead. He made Lumiere too strong.

It was all over in a heartbeat.

Then a demon picked up Cassies body and went off with her.

A demon whose body and face were not recognisable. He became the thing he never wanted to be. A monster. Inside and outside.

Damned to walk the streets only at night. Just like a stupid vamp.

Caus he was now the boogie-man, a creature that children fright of with endless tears.

He left Cassie inside of her house.

He removed Spike s ashes and Red s dead body.

And left before the brake of dawn.

With no return.

The end
