Buffy Summers decided she did NOT like Miller's Wood.. If fact, if she lived long enough to get out she was going to burn it down. Maybe arson was in her blood. These were simply side thoughts. Her mind was fixed on outrunning the demon behind her. The demon who had killed Riley, Xander, and according to Cordelia, some cop in L.A. Kate, was it?
Buffy knew that she would see Angel again. They were soulmates, weren't they? But she never thought she would have to face Angelus again. That was one of the reasons why Angel left her, wasn't it? So she wouldn't have to deal with a demon with her soulmate's face killing everyone she loved. But still, Angelus was back, people were dead, and if she wasn't careful, she would be too.
Buffy continued dodging trees, rocks, running on and off trails. And she thought Miller's Wood would be the best idea. What better place to fight a vampire but in a forest? The nice branches sticking out evry which way, nice rocks and things to trip him, what could be better? There were two flaws in her plan. Firstly, all the nice and pretty things she hoped would help stop him were helping him stop HER. Secondly, despite everything every part of her that was a Slayer was telling her, she couldn't fight him, couldn't kill him.
It still was her same problem. How could she kill Angel? She would be killing any chance of Angel's soul being restored... Buffy wasn't sure if she could handle that.
Buffy turned as she heard Angelus tauntings suddenly grow louder. Somehow he had gotten right behind her. She whipped her head around, preparing to put on another burst of speed, just in time to see the earth gape in front of her. She felt Angelus's hand on her shoulder, then she was falling. She felt two things very quickly, mind-numbing disorientation and then a complete lack of everything.
