Chapter Title: Twilight
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Dawn and Connor had been pulling at the chains for quite some time, with no avail. That was when the door opened to reveal Roxinu Girhattiza and two vampire henchmen beside him. "It's time," he rasped. Dawn breathed inwards for a scream, when the vampire put a gag in her mouth.
Connor yanked at the chains again. "If you hurt her-"
"Don't worry. The bleeding will be fairly quick and the pain will only last until she passes out." With a flip of his coat, he strolled out of the room with a struggling Dawn in tow.
***
Tara shook her head to clear the cob-webs forming. That had to have been the most powerful spell she'd ever done. She glanced up at Lorne who was smiling widely. He picked up her hand and kissed it gently. "Good job, Strudel." The witch smiled equally as wide, until she saw Faith and Spike making out. She coughed gently, but loud enough to get their attention. "W- We're done with the s-spell now, so we can go fight outside."
Lorne interrupted her embarrassing stuttering. "She means that we'll all have a love-fest after it's all over."
After he helped Tara up, she looked around. "Did it work?"
***
"No! Not again!" the Slayer buried her face in her hands, a picture of the horrified look on her lover's face refusing to leave her mind. She threw her fists down, cracking the cement. "Why? Why?" she wailed, tears streaming down her face. She pounded her fists down again.
A low grunt followed the blow.
"Buffy? Buffy, I'm still here," a voice said. Buffy looked down. Through her tears she saw Angel lying on the ground beneath her, a stake protruding from his chest. She hadn't even noticed that she was still straddling him.
"Angel?! You're alive! Sort of. How?" Buffy asked. "Oh who cares!" She leaned down and kissed the vampire. When she finally came up for air she got an answer.
"Seems your aim is a little off nowadays," he said, pulling the wood from his body.
"What happened?" she asked. His answer was cut off by a loud scream from the upstairs. "Oh, God. Dawn."
Buffy got off of Angel, running out of the room, right into a Pargsolth demon. "Duck!" yelled Angel. Buffy rolled to her right, and the vampire punched his fist through the demon's chest. After it fell down, Buffy saw the intense battle between her friends and the demons.
Angel, seeing her hesitation, he made the decision for her. "Go!" As she flew up the stairs, Angel threw himself into the fray.
***
Girhattiza smirked as his key was being placed on the platform. He took out a large dagger and she began struggled more. His smirk broadened. He liked it when they squirmed. Placing the blade on her throat, he ordered, "Release the gag."
She managed out a brief scream before the blade slid deeply across her throat.
Girhattiza turned when he heard the sound of grating metal and stone. He knew this was not part of the ritual. Letting the girl drop and bleed, he signaled for his two men to investigate the sound.
They were five feet from the door when Connor tackled them down, dusting one and then the other with an extra stake from his pocket. He stood up, ready to charge when a hand gripped his shoulder.
"Go help Dawn," said Buffy. "This is my fight." The Destroyer could smell that she was human, but was still wary of her. He was about to argue until he saw Dawn's prone body on the floor.
Buffy turned around, expecting some banter to be thrown and instead received a punch in the face. She managed to block the next two blows and give a sharp kick to the gut. They fought on in this manner for some time. As Buffy drew back for a jab, everything she had done as a vampire came back to her. She didn't feel the kick that took the breath from her lungs. Roxinu placed his hands around the Slayers head, ready to snap it when he felt a sharp puncture in his back. He looked down to see a piece of wood protruding from his chest.
Roxinu Girhattiza was no more.
"Good-bye, R. G.," muttered Angel with no remorse.
Buffy began sobbing, her entire body shaking. Angel knelt down and held her.
***
Connor knelt down beside Dawn and gently lifted her into his arms. He took off his over shirt and tried to stop the bleeding, but in the back of his mind, he knew it would probably never happen.
Suddenly, a dark hole appeared and slowly began to get bigger. After staring at the hole for a few moments, he looked down and saw Dawn was gone. Frantically he began searching for her. Connor went to stare at the edge of the hole, and saw a white light far down, coming closer. Suddenly, the light enveloped everything.
"This must be Twilight," the voice from his dream whispered.
Connor looked up to see Dawn gliding towards him in a white flowing dress. "Guess so." He held out his hand, which she took and came closer to him. Slowly he lowered his head and she lifted her face to him. They kissed.
The light grew blindingly brilliant.
***
It was seven days after the battle had commenced. There were no deaths, but there were many injuries. Everyone was supporting a broken bone or stitches of some sort. Fred, Xander, and Anya were still in the hospital with concussions and broken bones. Dawn, Tara, and Willow were at the Summer's house trying to help Buffy with her morale. Oz, Lorne, Connor, Faith, Gunn, and Spike were all at the mansion resting.
Giles, Olivia, Gwen, Angel, and Wes were at the Magic Box working in it. In between customers, Giles went to Angel and asked, "One of the things that I do not understand is why you and Buffy were so insistent on keeping Connor alive. It clearly closed the Hellmouth. I thought your goal was to keep it open."
Angel just shook his head. "That was R. G.'s plan. We wanted to close it so we were the evilest things in Sunnydale. Not the Hellmouth."
Their conversation was interrupted by a brief laugh from Gwen and Wes. Giles took off his glasses. "According to my research, by closing the Hellmouth, there will be strange waves of energy going around for about a year that I fear will affect people both physically and mentally."
"We'll be ready for it." Angel picked up his coat and walked out the back entrance and into the night.
