Point Of View
Chapter 5
Several months had passed in Sunnydale, and Spike and Willow were slowly, but surely becoming good friends.
Willow had realised after Tabula Rasa that she was going to far with magic. So she was going to start controlling herself.
*Willow POV*
I know Buffy, she's my best friend, and I can tell that's she's starting to give in to Spike.
About a week ago, Buffy went out on patrol, I could see it in her eyes. I knew something was going to happen that night. Buffy and Spike have been acting different since that night. But I have yet to find out what happened.
Sitting alone on my bed, I was all alone; this was a little while ago. I was surrounded by silence, until I heard Amy running around her cage. I remember thinking, 'I know I can do it. Amy will be back and maybe then people will pay attention to me. Then perhaps Spike will see that I'm not useless, and that I may not be as physically strong as Buffy, but I'm just as powerful magically.
So I brought her back. Afterwards Amy began to show me how much fun magic could be.
She took me to Rack, a warlock who dealt in black market spells.
I became addicted.
I don't think I even realised. Being on a magic high took me away from all my problems. It made me forget that Spike wasn't interested in me, or that Buffy was paying less attention to me.
I didn't realise. Until I hurt someone I loved. I cause Dawnie to get hurt.
The look on her face is burned into my mind, as she slapped me. I started crying, but they didn't notice.
The one I was in love with looked at me in disgust as he took Dawn away.
Buffy pulled me up and before I knew it, we were back at the house.
She told me that I used to be a nerd and that magic gave me power. I promised to quit with using magic, but I knew it wouldn't be that easy.
So I'm here now, sitting alone on my bed. I've made my decision.
I get up and walk to my desk. I pull out a letter that has been sitting there for months.
It was an invitation, an invitation to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I know that it is a risk being around magic, but at least I'll be around people that can take care of me.
Reaching for paper and a pen, I write my reply to the letter and let the owl out. The invitation arrived by this owl and it insisted on staying until I sent something back.
With the letter gone, I've decided to start packing things to take.
I'm leaving all my friends, and Spike the vampire I love behind. I suppose its for the best that he'll never know.
I'm doing this for him.
I have to get better.
I just HAVE too.
