I went to bed that night listening to a song that we danced to at the Snow-
Ball in 6th grade.
When the lights go down and there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down and the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
And wonder what you're made of
Well we all find out
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
At the end of the day when this game that I play
Has gone another round
As I lay there alone on this big empty bed
With nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things that I wish I had said
When you were still around ***** "Today we are going to talk about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that you read about last night. What are their names?" Phoebe asked. "Courtney." "Famine, Strife, War, and Death." "Right. How were they created?" Paige asked. Xan-man was the only one raising his hand. "Xander." "If they get a chance and miss their deadline to end the world their boss will kill them and take four willing souls from in there and anoint them. They become the next horsemen," Xander answered. "Right.' "How did you know that?" I asked. "Famine said it himself. He worries to much," Xander answered. "Oh yeah," I said mentally smacking myself in the head. "Who's their boss?" Phoebe asked. "The source of all evil," I said. Paige was about to say something when the door opened. "Need to borrow. Xander and Kailie," Professor McGonagall said. "Alright," Phoebe said and we walked out. "What did we do now?" I asked. "It's not you," She said looking at me. "Listen to me. A boggart got into the school-" "Where is he?" I demanded. "He's in his room, but-" She didn't finish because I was already running, throwing off my cloak for more speed. "I...she....Yeah," Xander picked up my cloak then ran after me. ***** I walked into Harry's room and saw Ron and Hermione next to him. He was staring at the ceiling in a catonic state. "Oh no," I whispered then closed the door. The two looked at me then stood, lettting me by. "What did it turn into?" I asked. Hermione and Ron looked at each other. "Harry didn't tell us. He said he was fine then he just collapsed," Hermione said. The door opened aned Xan-man stepped in. "Ron. Hermione. Leave us for a bit okay?" He asked. They nodded then left. Xander walked to my side. He grabbed my hand. I looked at him and let out a deep sigh. "This family has a great habit of going into Comas," I joked then leaned into Harry's ear and whispered. "Harry. Wake up. It wasn't real. Come back." Harry's eyes blinked a few times. Then he stirred. I sat on the bed next to him. He put his head on my shoulder and started to fall asleep. "I'll leave you two alone," Xander said getting up. "Xand," I said. He opened the door and looked back. "Thanks." He nodded then left. I could tell that Harry was trying to sleep. I started to sing. Little bird will fly away........ ***** Xander walked in with Ron and the Sunnydale Xander. They saw Kailie sleeping next to her brother. He walked over and took her sleeping body in his arms. "I'll put her to bed," Xander said then walked out. He carried Kailie to her room and tucked her in. The looked at Lightning. "Take care of her," he told the wolf who nodded then walked out. ***** I woke up in my own bed. Lightning liked my face. "Hey Light," I said then looked out the window. It was still dark. I walked down to the common room when I saw Xander sitting here reading a letter. I was about to walk back up, but decided not to. I walked over to the couch he was sitting on and curled up on the opposite end. "Can't sleep?" I asked. "Well Ron snores, and your Xander sounds like he's choking in his sleep so....." He trailed off. "What you got there?" I asked. "Just a letter from someone," Xander said. It was a letter that Anya had written a while back, but he wasn't going to let Kailie know that. My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad
I set my head on the arm rest and then looked into the fire. Xander sighed. "It wasn't your fault Xand. Quit moping. She died saving Andrew and she probably did it thinking you would be happy for her not moping around feeling sorry for yourself," I blurted out. I put a hand on my mouth. "I am so sorry. I did not know where that came from," I apologized. "It's alright. You are right you know," Xander said. I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again and even if I'm there,
they'll all imply that I might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and *~Flashback~* Bringers have made their way to the fight and are attacking Andrew. Anya fights them off, but there are too many. While she stabs one with her sword, another slices diagonally though her torso from behind, killing her.
"How did you know how she died though?" Xander asked me. "My Xander watched the last ever episode of Buffy. I missed it. When you suggested Hellmouth for a password that's kinda why he said don't remind me. That last season was a living hell from what we watched, and here I am babbling about what I saw on tv when you lived it.... Shutting up now," I joked. Xander laughed. I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life *~Flashback~* I walk in from work sopping wet from rain. Xander walks over and hands me a towel. "Water demon get the best of you?" he joked.
Push the door,I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
"Nope, mother nature. So what's the deal on the finale?" I asked. "Spike and Anya died," He said. "Spike?! Anya?! Cute Spike and Funny Anya?" I asked. "Yeah." "Well then how is Spike coming back?" I asked, "Don't know." I laughed a bit. "What?" Xander asked. "Nothing. Just the iorny of something. Talk to the Angel Investigators lately?" I asked. "Not really Why?" "Buffy and Dawn are going to want to here some news from them that's going to happen in the near future," I answered imagining the two Summers girls faces when they find out that Spike is back. ***** Kailie slept in her bed with Lightning next to her. When she started tossing and turning Lightning awoke. He went over to Hermione and Dawn and woke them up. *****
