So the last chapter is here at last. Sorry I didn't put any commentary in last time but I was in kindof a hurry so I decided to skip it anyway the fighting is over and its time to wrap things up.

Chapter 30: after the battle

Heatherfield.

The Guardians were at the beach inside the cave with Caleb. Will pulled out the vile of almost luminous green liquid and an old kitchen knife and took the blade towards the rebel leaders palm.

"So how is this supposed to work again?" Hay Lin was whispering to Taranee.

"That green stuff has regenerative properties. Like for example it can bring the dead or more accurately vampires back to life," Taranee said sounding very scientific has she explained it to Hay Lin.

"Oh ok," Hay Lin replied scratching her head and looking twice has confused has before Taranee had explained how the 'green stuff' was supposed to work.

Will cut into Caleb's palm wincing slightly has he reacted towards the sharp metal slicing his flesh. She open up the veil and poured its contents into the open wound and watched has the two mixed.

"Is that it?" Irma asked after a moment since nothing seemed to be happening. Suddenly Caleb threw his head back has he convulsed in pain. His eyes glowed a brightly in a similar way that the Guardians had seen Spike and Angel's glow when their souls were restored to them. After a moment his head dropped and he began breathing heavily has a familiar thumping sensation returned to his chest.

"Will 'approached cautiously. "Caleb?" She asked nervously. "Is that you?"

"I'm sorry," He said weakly.

"Its ok guys! Cornelia 'release him!" Will said instantly convinced.

"Wait a second shouldn't we test him just to be safe?" Irma said holding her arms up to stop Cornelia.

"Test me? How?" Caleb asked looking nervous.

Irma smiled evilly. She pulled out her hand hidden behind her back to reveal a ball of water which hovered obediently just above her palm. Without warning she tossed the ball hitting Caleb squarely in the face.

"Hey what was that for?" He yelled annoyed his face and hair now soaked.

"Holy water. He's clean," Irma explained.

"Now can I release him?" Cornelia asked in annoyed voice.

"Oh yeah sure," Irma said. Cornelia recalled the vines freeing Caleb. He looked about ashamedly at his friends.

"I'm sorry he said again," Dropping his head ashamed.

"Well you should be!" Cornelia yelled.

"Huh but I-" Caleb started confused.

"First you make us all think your dead! Second you become a vampire and try to kill us all! And third you go after Will before you go after me?" Cornelia yelled furiously.

"Let me get this straight your mad because I didn't try to kill you!" Caleb yelled back.

"No idiot! I mad that you didn't try to kill me first! What am I second choice?" Cornelia yelled.

"I think they need some time alone," Will said has the Guardians left leaving Caleb and Cornelia to their bickering.

"See you guys later," Irma said separating from the group.

"Where's she going, off to?" Asked Cornelia who had rejoined the 'group.

"She has a date," Will said smiling.

"Ooh! Is he cute!" Hay Lin asked excitedly.

"Who said anything about a he?" Will winked walking off leaving behind a stunned Hay Lin Cornelia and Taranee.

"The Summer's residence.

"So 'your leaving again?" Buffy was asking Angel who standing in front of his jaguar one of his parting gifts from Wolfram&heart.

"We got people after us," Angel started. "If we stay in one place for two long then we'll only bring bad stuff their way,"

"I'm sorry it has to be this way," He sighed.

"Me to," Buffy answered. The two kissed briefly pulling away before they could go to deep.

"Has much I'd love to continue we all know were this will end," Angel said pulling away.

"See you around," Buffy said has he stepped into his jaguar and drove off. She stood waving for what seemed like an eternity not even noticing her younger sister Dawn walk up behind her.

"Hey," She said.

"Hey," Buffy answered. "So where's willow?"

"The park." Dawn answered.

"So. What do you wanna do this afternoon?" Buffy asked placing her arm round her sister's shoulder has the two headed back towards the house.

The park.

Irma walked through the park. She was wearing a fur, trimmed jacket to keep off the chilly autumn breeze. Has she admired the peaceful afternoon her eyes came across a bench with a redheaded girl sitting on it. She smiled and approached the bench.

"Hi," She said has she approached the girl sitting there. The girl looked up to her and smiled with those warm gentle eyes and answered. "Hey you,"

"Mind if I?" Irma asked gesturing towards the free seat.

"No! Course not 'sit please!" Willow insisted.

"So I heard you guys are leaving in a few days?" Irma asked.

"Yeah," Willow sighed. "Back to whole slayer searching bit,"

"So I guess that means we won't have much time to see each other," Irma asked.

"Sorry. But I'll try to stop by once in a while and visit and… stuff," willow said slightly hurriedly.

"So I guess that means we'd better make the most of the time we have left," Irma said smiling suggestively.

"I guess so," Willow smiled back.

The two began kissing after a moment that seemed like hours the two pulled away,"

"So were do you wanna go?" Irma smiled.

"I'm happy here," Willow said smiling lazily. And two returned to their exchange not caring what any onlookers or spying friends might've have thought.

End.
