"Faith. No, you don't want to do this" Buffy said, slowly walking on her knees towards Willow.
"Why don't I B? It's so much fun to be on the bad side. You should try it sometime" Faith replied.
"It's wrong, Faith. You don't want to kill her."
"Oh but I do." Everything turned into slow motion. Faith's arm started across Willow's neck.
"WILLOW!!" Buffy screamed. She could see the blood running down her open neck
All of a sudden Buffy's eyes shot open. Covered in cold sweat. She looked around. She was in her bed...in her room. Everything's coming back to her. She had been sick all this time. The lamp on her bed table suddenly turned on. There was a...a thermometer in her mouth? She looked in front of her. Willow. Sitting on the side of her bed.
"Hey" She said quietly and took the thermometer out of Buffy's mouth and looked at it.
"Well, it looks like your fever has gone down a bit. That's good." She told her. Still laying down, Buffy slowly sat up. A little bit confused still. She looked around and then at Will.
"Dawn...Dawn! Is she okay? Where is she?!" Buffy said.
"She's fine, she's fine. She's sleeping in her room. It's 11pm." Willow said looking at her a little worried.
Buffy lunged forward and embraced her in a big hug. She surprised Will at first but she then wrapped her arms around Buffy and calmed her down, patting her back.
"Will...don't go anywhere. Don't think you're stupid. Don't do anything stupid. Don't think for one second you're not important. Just...DON'T go anywhere okay??!!" Buffy said
"Umm, ok Buff. I wasn't really planning on it but alright I won't go anywhere, I promise."
She pulled her away and laid Buffy back down.
"Since you're awake, I should see how you are. You know...strength...how you feel. Alright?" Willow quietly said. Not to wake anyone up. For a while Willow tended to Buffy's needs. Water and all.
"Okay, you should go back to sleep. Get some more rest." Willow told her.
"Ah" Buffy flinched, closing her eyes tight.
"What's wrong?" Will asked her.
"Oh, nothing. It's uh, just a...my stomach hurt for a minute there...nothing big"
"Sure" Willow said sarcastically.
Willow looked at her with a worried look on her face. She slid down the bed side a bit, took Buffy's hands off her stomach and pulled the covers to her waist. She started to unbutton the bottom of her shirt, Just Enough to show some skin and began to rub Buffy's stomach.
She sat there on the bed side. Rubbing her stomach until Buffy was half asleep.
She buttoned up her shirt and pulled the covers up to Buffy's shoulders.
"Night Will" Buffy sputtered groggily.
Willow leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodnight Buffy. Get some rest. Feel better tomorrow."
She walked to the door and started to close it but then opened it back up.
"Oh and by the way Buff...I'm not going anywhere." Willow looked down the hall and looked back at Buffy with a smile.
"None of us are"
She turned off the light and closed the door.
