Willow puts down her cup and heads to the fridge.
"You were all I had. Now I have nothing. All I have done is death and destruction. I get knocked over in a fight. Maybe it's best if I just leave. No one would miss me. Would anyone miss me? They are all happy and charming, but if I didn't help neutralize the vamps then how would they see me? Hey!" She says as she turns around. Her cup is gone.
"Who took my cup? Dawn? Buffy? Giles was that you?" She leaves the kitchen and heads up stairs.
"Dawn? I'm coming up. If you're trying to get all hide and go seeky on me, I should warn you I am a master hide and go seeker when I was young, so no use in trying." Stops at Dawn door and gets a bad feeling.
"Dawny you left your door open," walks in, "Dawn?" She sees her diary open and her glass of water barely touched. she walks out of the room.
"Dawn? Dawn where are you?!" She goes quickly down stairs and calls out for Dawn and then checks the kitchen and living room. she goes back up faster and heads for Buffy's room.
"Giles, please help me! I can't find Dawn, we need to," walks into Giles' room. "Giles? Dawn? Anybody?" she runs down stairs heads for the kitchen phone and dials.
"Come on Xander pick up."
"Hi, you have reached the devilishly handsome Xander Harris. I'm not home right now, so leave your 411 and I'll get back to you."
"Xander please! If you are you're there pick up! Xander?! Giles and Dawn are missing and Buffy is on patrol. I'm gonna wait here a bit and then go look. Hopefully Buffy will be back soon. Ah, I don't have Anya's number, please let her know. Bye." Paces back and forth.
"I know, a locator spell!" She goes back up to her room and gets the stuff and puts it on the floor. She sits in the middle and performs the spell.
"What? Nowhere, but that's ... that's impossible. I must have done something wrong. Always with the screwing up. Now..." Tries again.
"Okay, calm down, they can't be nowhere. Try Buffy." Yet again she tries.
"Not even Buffy? Where are you guys?" Her eyes dart back and forth and her breathing now heavy with panic.
"I don't know what to do. I can't go out there alone. It's night. the darkness and the vampires. I'm no fighter, but Buffy may not be back for hours and..." Tapes her fingers. she stands up and heads downstairs. Out from the weapons chest she pulls a crossbow.
"Vampires of the world beware. Willows coming into town. Okay, perhaps I won't say that out loud." She heads to the front door. It's unlocked.
"Giles' coat is missing. He must have gone looking for Dawn. But why didn't he get me? Maybe he doesn't trust me to ... no. If Giles was going he would have got me, so that means ... Giles is in trouble too." She opens the door, locks and closes it.
"Graveyard first. Got to get Buffy, she'll know what to do." She starts walking.
"Look at me all cowardly. I don't fit in. I'm just not like everyone else. I'm edgy and always excitable. I don't know how they put up with me all the time. Xander. Oh Xander I used to have such a crush on you, but all you ever did is turn the other cheek. You even dated Anya. You'd rather marry an ex-vengance demon than be with me. We used to be such pals. Pals? Don't say that in front of the demony creatures. Anya. Oh I hate her, I really shouldn't say that, but ... oh I hate her. She's so demanding and pushy and bitchy all the time. Honestly what would anyone see in her? No wonder her ex is a troll. Probably the only one that could stand her. Giles," she kicks a stone, "you must be so disappointed in me. I know you said you were not, but coming off that magic high you probably didn't want to hurt my feelings. With your shameful, smug British face. Spike, for him I am just another person to rescue to make good with Buffy and Buffy, I don't know how you'll ever really trust me again. I feel so bad about what I have done. I never meant to hurt Dawn. Dawn..." Falls to her knees and puts her hands on her face. She cries.
"I don't deserve this. I don't deserve any of you. I'm a bad bad friend who kills people. I should live in darkness forever." She takers her hands off her face and realizes she is now in the cemetery. A voice whispers,
"You're alone now..." Lifts her head.
"What? Who said that?" She pulls out the crossbow and readies it.
"You'll never escape..." comes the voice again.
"Will too! I'm a powerful witch and my best friend is the slayer. You have no idea what kind of powerful magicks you are dealing with. What ever kind of demony thing you are, I'm sure an arrow through the heart hurts ... unless of course you have no heart..." Startles by a noise she turns around.
"Where are you? Buffy!" The noise comes from all around her.
"Ah ha!" She fires. Nothing there. She hears the footsteps. They start running toward her. She screams.
"Buffy! Buffy help me! God! It's after me! Buffy!!!" She fires again and again and the arrows fall to the ground.
"You were all I had. Now I have nothing. All I have done is death and destruction. I get knocked over in a fight. Maybe it's best if I just leave. No one would miss me. Would anyone miss me?
