Buffy woke up. She had a terrible headache. She looked around and
noticed she was still in the bathroom. She got up and walked into her
bedroom. Angel wasn't there. 'He still must be getting breakfast,' she
thought. She layed back down on her bed, waiting.
She saw Angel appear with a tray in hand. On the tray was juice, toast, and scrambled eggs. He set the tray down on her bed and crawled under the sheets with her.
He looked at Buffy. He took her hands in his and spoke to her, "I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too, Angel." He leaned over to kiss her. Buffy was lost in the emotion of the moment. She felt amazing. Their love enveloped each other, creating an invisible bubble around them.

Sunnydale, Buffy's real dimension
Willow and Xander were sitting at the Bronze. They sipped their drinks and listened to the band play. They had talked for a few hours, when Buffy's name had come up.
"I haven't seen Buffy around," Willow said, "Do you think something could have happened?"
Xander took a glance at the band and looked back at her, "Nah, she's probably just patroling."
Willow looked at Xander. "For three days."
Xander contemplated about what he just said. "Well," he answered, "maybe she found a whole slew of vampires. Maybe her strength is weakening and it takes her longer to slay them." He smiled.
Willow sighed, " Not likely." Willow was worried. Buffy had never disappeared like this. Not for three days. And Xander's theory didn't prove possible.
Xander had lost interest in the band. "Do you want to leave, Will? This band kinda sucks."
She looked at him. "Yeah," Willow replied, "let's go." Willow grabbed her bag and followed Xander out of the Bronze.
They started walking down the alley that leads to the main road. It was quiet out. So quiet you could almost hear a pin drop. The wind started to blow. Willow suspected something. The hairs on the back of her neck stood straight up. Someone was there. She turned around. She could see the glare of the moon reflecting off of the vampire's teeth. There was more than one. She looked over. A vampire was already attacking Xander. She screamed his name. Another vampire had attacked her, knocking her down. She struggled to get up. The vamp's weight held her down. There was nothing she could do. Willow wiggled around to try to get up. She felt the vampire's fangs push through her skin. She could feel her blood being drained. Willow could tell that Xander was dead.
She was gonna die. She could only say one more thing. The last thing that excaped from her mouth.
She screamed. "BUFFY!"

Giles was sitting on his couch looking at one of his books and sipping tea. He put the book down and found another one to look at. He flipped it open. He had turned to the next page when he heard a knock at the door.
Giles set the book down and got up to answer the door. When he opened the door, no one was there. He shut the door and shrugged it off.
He walked to the kitchen to get some more tea. There was another knock at the door. Frustrated, he opened the door. He stuck his head out. "Hello," he said. He stepped outside, looking around. He saw no one. Giles turned around to go back inside and felt someone jerk his body back. It was a vampire. The vampire pushed him down on the ground. Giles had no stakes. He was forced down. The vampire's fang had struck his skin. The vampire was beginning to drain his body. Giles could do nothing. All he could do was think about Buffy. Would she be there to save him? He hoped. He wished. Buffy was his only hope. But she was no where.
Giles could only say one thing. "BUFFY!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy woke up. She felt a presence. Something wasn't right. Buffy looked at Angel. He was so peaceful looking just laying there. He looked so much more pure now that he was human.
Buffy sat up and wrapped one of her sheets around her. She put her feet down on the carpet and got up to go to the bathroom. She leaned over the counter. Something didn't feel right. There was a disturbance.
She looked up at the mirror. She called out, " Powers that be, send me the messenger that I once spoke to."
A light appeared in the mirror. The messenger was there. "What is it that you want?"
"I felt something," she explained, "I want to see my friends. I think there is something wrong."
The messenger hovered there. "This is your friends. How they are at this very moment." Then Buffy saw Willow and Xander. Lying in the street. She could see their dead, lifeless bodies covered in blood. The image changed. Now she could see Giles. She saw his front door open, with him only a few feet away from it. She saw blood dripping from his neck.
It faded away. The messenger appeared again. A tear formed and fell down her cheek.
The messenger said something to her. "Because you have choosen to live in this world and not in your own, your friends were killed. The powers sent forces to kill them. Your friends were a sacrifice, because of your decision. I'm sorry for your loss." The messenger faded away.
It hit her like bricks. Because she decided to live in peace with Angel, her friends murdered. Tears fell down her cheeks.
Buffy screamed.
