Buffy ran out of the airport, breathing fast from worry as he went to Dawn, grabbing her by the shoulders roughly. "Stay here, Xander and Giles are supposed to show up in an hour. Wait for them. I am going to fight." Buffy began running down the road, she knew where she was going, all she had to do was go against the screaming crowd of humans.
Willow gave Dawn a hug and ran after Buffy, knowing her magic would help with the battle as Willow took off behind Buffy, knowing she wouldn't catch up as easily.
Buffy saw the beasts as she came across scattered dead bodies. She went towards the noise and bodies as she froze, walking by a huge dragon. It was dead and blood poured from its stomach, the stench over whelming as Buffy ran away from it, knowing she couldn't get sick now.
She grabbed an ax from a dead demon and picked it up, walking into the smoke, hearing cries all around her as a demon came at her. She slammed the ax into its stomach and pulled it back out, continuing on her way to find Angel.
She moved into a clearing and saw Angel fighting three demons. He was covered in blood and sweat as she moved forward, ready to take out the demons. A demon grabbed Buffy from behind as she turned away from Angel to flip the demon over and slam her ax into it.
As Buffy pulled the ax out she turned her head and flipped her hair back, to get a view of Angel and let out a gasp. She watched as a demon slammed the wooden end of his ax into Angel and Angel cried out, turning to dust and scattering the bloody ground. Buffy let out an anguished cry as she ran at the demons, her ax swinging and catching several, killing them.
Buffy kept at the demons, killing anything that came near her. She didn't know how long she was killing, she just kept going. Her anger showed as any creature that came near her didn't have a chance to even get a hit at her.
Hours later Buffy looked around, dead bodies were all around her as her eyes searched for another body, another anything to kill. She felt someone behind her as she let out a cry and swung her ax around. She was stopped by someone grabbing ahold of her arm. She looked up to see Spike.
"A-A-Ang-Angel" Buffy muttered. Spike just nodded slowly and Buffy collapsed in his arms, crying.
"She okay?" Giles asked, coming up to Spike. Spike sat on the bloody ground, Buffy in his lap, crying as she gripped his arm tightly, to saddened to even recognize Giles' presence.
Spike looked back up at Giles and just shook his head slowly. "She is in her own world now; she is saying things that make no sense. She saw Peaches get dusted." Spike just shook his head sadly; rubbing his hand on Buffy's back, trying to console her.
"Come on then, we will take everyone back to the hotel…" Giles said, helping Spike stand. Spike felt weak as he held his weight plus Buffy's. He had been fighting for hours and felt like he was about to pass out.
"Come on Love, it'll be okay…" Spike whispered into Buffy's ear quietly. She didn't hear him; she didn't hear anyone or see anything. But Spike continued to gently console her, trying to bring her back to the real world.
"I promised I would remember him… I promised…."
