As I was sitting there I felt something rise in me, power, pure dark power, and I felt like retching. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a wad of bills to throw on the counter before hurrying out of the bar. I barely heard the indignant Miss Cosmo calling after me. Outside I barely made it to the alley before I wretched all over the ground and my shoes. I slid to the ground and leaned my head against the cool brick wall. The world was humming, vibrating under my touch. What the hell was she doing?

In that moment of haze, I lost control. For the first time in nearly two years I changed, but I barely felt it. I was in a state of pure ecstasy, it was like I was in her and I was feeling her right down to her very essence. Then it hit me: magic, this was magic. I was stunned to realize that despite changing I was still thinking and my thoughts were telling me only one thing. Go to her, now. It was screaming to me and the animal in me responded by running, towards SunnyDale, towards home.

It took the whole night to get to Sunnydale from San Fransisco. I don't know how many people saw. I was going on pure instinct here, nothing mattered but finding her. Sometime around dawn the feeling peeked. I felt my body seize suddenly and begin to change. When I changed into the wolf there was no pain, but my return to human form was nothing but. This time it was all consuming pain as my body shifted back in place. It was like I was crashing down, and once again I felt her grief only this time it was anguished and twisting. It shook me to my very core and I cried out for her. I sat there in the forest, completely naked with every bone in my body aching and I sobbed, grieving for her loss. Because I knew now that it was loss.

Slowly I felt her grief ebbing away and as it did so did she. She was leaving me. I tried to focus on her face, on the feeling, trying to hold on to her; but it was no use. She slipped away from me, leaving me broken and naked just five miles outside of Sunny Dale.

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed the story, angsty I know, but I'm thinking of writing a sequel if enough people want one. It would deal with why this happened and would probably include Willow and Oz coming face to face.
