AN:
For those of you who are a little bit confused with the events, each chapter is based on each episode of BTVS final season. For example this chapter will tackle the events on the episode wherein Dawn thought that she is a potential (Episode 12: Potential).
If you have any questions or clarifications just feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer all of them.
Once more I thank the special people who reviewed my story. Your reviews encouraged me to continue writing.
CHAPTER 7: Picking Up The Pieces
A few days have passed since Spike was freed. But the events are still fresh in my mind, it seems like it had happened yesterday. And each time I would remember, I feel my heartbreak further into pieces. Waking up each day was a big obstacle. And the days events would pass in a haze. After waking up I would eat breakfast, go to school, go home, eat dinner and then cry myself to sleep. I know I sound pathetic but I just could not help myself. I am beginning to understand why Spike was always brooding about the slayer, not its my turn to brood over him. I am pretty sure anyone who have had experienced the pain of seeing ones loved one love another, would act the same. Maybe there are some who don't . . . . Lucky them . .. I envy them!
As I curl myself in bed trying to shut out the memories, I felt a light tap on my shoulders. Turning to face the disturber, I see Endy sitting at the edge of my bed.
" Hey there Sere! I just wanted to ask you if you are up to going on a patrol with me? We are going to your favorite place! Sunnydale Cemetery! " Endy asked cheerfully.
" Go away, I want to sleep! " I snarled as I turned my back to him and tightly wrap the blanket around me.
" Come on now! Just a few minutes. Patrolling the cemetery is never fun without you. " He pleaded. Even though my back was to him, I knew that he was giving me his puppy dog eyes.
" And besides it will make you feel better! " He added enthusiastically.
I just could not help my self from imagining him with his sad look and puppy dog eyes. Then I start to giggle.
" Ok! Lets go on that patrol! "
SSSSBBBBBSSSBBBBSSSS
We have been patrolling for an hour now. Already dusted a couple of rogue vampires. Endy was right, I did feel better and patrolling with Endy is never dull.
15 minutes have passed since the last vamp. When seeing that there were no more vamps lurking around, me and Endy started our way home. Passing by the crypts, I heard talking and some fighting. Concentrating on my hearing, I could hear someone's heart rapidly beating . . . .someone was very scared. Looking at Endy, I knew that he too knows what has caught my attention. Looking at him, we then had a silent agreement of checking it out.
Nearing the crypt where the sounds came, I then saw Spike with a potential in his grasp. He was teaching them. Then steeping up to show the proper way to stake a vamp was Her! That's when I noticed the slayer was also there, how could I miss it? After a few moves, the slayer had Spike pinned down. I could not believe my eyes . . . .they had held hands tenderly . . . and the exchange of looks . . . .The potentials had started teasing . . . I could not stand it, I have to leave! I was about to run off when Endy grabbed my arm. He gave me a small nod and a smile and with that we both disappeared.
SSSBBBBSSSSSBBBBSSSSS
The site overlooking Sunnydale was spectacular tonight but I did not pay attention to it. I was crying my heart out on Endy's shoulder. And that's how my sisters found me.
" Serenity, you have to get it together! . . .The world needs you! We know that you are hurting more now than before, but you gotta see this! " Mina angrily spoke.
" I will be surely punished for doing this, but you should see what would happen if you never get over what you are in now! " Rei added.
Mina had never spoke to me in that tone of voice and Rei would never risk making the powers that be and our ancestors angry. This must be something very important! So I wipe away my tears, then I turned to face them.
Rei had started chanting, appearing before all of us was this mirror like orb. Then after her chant. The orb started to show pictures just like a movie, very cool! I never thought Rei could do such a thing.
The movie like picture showed on how Dawn was supposedly chosen as the new potential and how she had trouble accepting it. Then the movie showed how Dawn was with Amanda in the school fending off a vampire and at least ten Bringers. But it was all to much for Dawn and Amanda who was the real potential. They were killed. Then the movie showed Spike getting sick but none took notice. They were all to depressed of Dawn's death. And because of it Spike dies. Then the orb bursts.
I could not believe my eyes . . .
" You still can change the events! All of what has happened could be altered, no one would die. And its all up to you! " Rei spoke.
I was speechless as I try and absorb every detail. If I continue on the path I am in, I am not only breaking the oath I made . . I also kill the one I love. I should get it together, I am the best warrior there is, I should not let this little love problem get to me. The slayer had caused Spike many pains and problems before and she will surely cause more. And what I should do is be there for him when she makes her errors. And for the world .. the slayer was its best bet . .. but that was before. Now it has me! And I should live up to it. I then know what I had to do. I give them all a knowing smile and we all disappear from the lookout point.
SSSSBBBBSSSSBBBBSSSS
I was waiting at the school grounds when Dawn and Amanda arrived. I did not help them with the vamp, they should have that experience. And as for the Bringers, I made sure only three of them got in. I slayed the rest of them after which I made sure that Dawn would not die. I made sure that she was ok until the slayer arrived. With the events now changed, I have a feeling that Spike would not die . . . I just would have to keep an eye on him.
It still hurts to see him with her but I do not cry anymore. I know that someday he will come to know me and love me. I had already started before, and I stopped, I should continue on what I did. I will find ways of making my presence known to him. And tomorrow would be a good day to start all over again. But for now, I will just give him a flying kiss as turn to walk home.
