As Buffy walked to class by herself all she could think about was that night with Angel the night he died. It had been terrible, Buffy had been fighting a vampire with Angel but the one Angel was fighting knocked Angel out and the other vampire got his friend and they did a death spell. But when the vampire lifted his finger to fling the spell at Buffy, Angel had pushed her out of the way and had gotten the full effect. Buffy knew there was nothing she could do to save Angel except watch him die. She had barely survived herself. After they killed Angel they came after her, she would have been to weak to fight after seeing Angel die like that but, Spike had come and saved Buffy before the vampires could touch her. Then he had picked her up and taken her to Willow's house like she had asked him to. But as for Angel's body they had just left it there. It would disappear. Buffy was still thinking about it when she bumped into someone. She had never seen him before. He had brown eyes and brown hair.

"I'm so sorry," said Buffy trying to act like nothing had been on her mind when she bumped into him. "I just didn't see you."

"Oh it's okay," the boy said flashing a smile. "I'm Dylan."

Buffy thought he was kind of cute but then she remembered Angel again.

"I'm Buffy...nice to meet you. Are you new around here?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah my dad got a job down here. Well what class are you going too?" the boy asked.

"Oh I was going to English. How about you?" Buffy asked.

"That's cool because I'm going to English too. Can I walk you?" Dylan asked laughing.

"Are you sure you know the way?" Buffy joked.

Buffy and Dylan walked to English class together. After English Buffy met Faith, Willow and Giles in the library.

"Hey guys what's up?" Buffy asked "What kind of evil's out tonight?"

"I haven't heard of anyone getting attacked by anything so...Why don't you just watch the grave yard?" Giles asked glancing at her.

"Okay, that will work. Faith you wanna come?" Buffy said looking at Faith.

"Why wouldn't I?" Faith asked looking around like she was thinking.

************************************************************************

Buffy and Faith walked through the graveyard looking for anything weird like vampires. Buffy and Faith split up to look. As Buffy was walking she felt someone or something touch her shoulder and she grabbed its hand and flipped it on its back. Then she realized who it was. It was Spike, of course. He lived in the graveyard.

"Hi to you too," Spike said as he got off the ground.

"Opps, sorry I didn't know it was you," Buffy said trying not to laugh as Spike got up.

"Okay, I haven't seen you since-" Spike shut his mouth.

Buffy knew he was referring to Angel's death.

"Yeah I know and I don't think I ever got to thank you. So thank you for helping me out of that situation and for saving my life," Buffy said trying not to blush.

"Yep. No problem I know what you're going through, I've lost a loved one before. Well I have to go. Bye, Buffy."

Spike waved and Buffy waved back. Then she heard Faith scream. Buffy ran to see where Faith was, Buffy found her and she was fighting 4 vampires. Buffy grabbed her stake and began to help Faith. One ran at Buffy and she moved and stabbed him with her stake and he disappeared. Then she toke one more of the vampires. She stuck the stake through its heart in less than 2 minutes. Then she sighed. She told Faith she needed to head home and check on her sister Dawn. So Buffy did but when she got home Buffy's mom and sister were both asleep. Buffy went to her room and put on her pajamas. That night she had another dream. It was about Angel, of course. She saw him die all over again as he pushed her out of the way and got hit with the spell. Then she woke up and was sweating. Then she saw something move in her room.
