Endings

Buffy's knees buckled and she fell to the ground. Xander stepped back at took in the scene that he had created. Spike kneeled down next to Buffy cradling her head.

"Someone call an ambulance!!" screamed Spike. "Luv, I have to take this out…. I know it'll hurt but I have to."

Buffy said nothing, her eyes barely blinking. Spike grabbed the stake and with all his strength pulled out the weapon with Buffy crying out and some bleeding spilling onto her dress and out of her mouth. Her dress was becoming drenched with her blood. Spike could she the gash and took of his jacket and wrapped it around her chest to try and stop the bleeding. Buffy's breathing was getting shorter and shorter. Her body began to tremble, Spike held her close and whispered his love for her in ear. Buffy's eyes felt heavier and she started to close them when Spike said, "Open your eyes, Buffy, stay right here with me." Dawn, Willow, Tara and Anya had all run up to the balcony to see what was going on. Dawn began crying and held onto Willow at the sight of her sister's blood running on the floor. Anya turned her head from Buffy's body and saw her new husband; she went to him and slapped him for what he had done and then fell into his arms sobbing. The sounds of an ambulance were heard outside and the paramedics came through the door and up the stairs. Before they reached her, Buffy had stopped breathing.
