A/N: First of all thank you for all the comments; they made me feel all special. Second, I hate to say it but I'm putting a song in this chapter, I promised myself I would never do that, but then, I was listening to the song and it worked. Actually, this is the scene that started this fiction in my head. The song isn't mine. (Wish it were) It's By: Evanescence. Last, this chapter is longer than most just to let you know.

Buffy woke up after a particularly bad dream; she could hear Spike and Faith watching TV. She looked out the window to see a darkening sky. How long have I been asleep? Looking at the clock it said 5:30 Shit! I have to get home. She grabbed her bags and ran down the stairs only to be stopped by a large muscular man with spiky brown hair.

"Hi, I'm Angel Gunnerson, William's father, are you ok?"

"Yes, I guess, I don't know. I'm late. I was supposed to be home two and a half hours ago, can you tell Spike and Faith I said good bye?" She held her breath nervous about going back home.

"I'll do you one better, WILLIAM, COME DRIVE YOUR FIREND HOME. How bout that?"

"Um, ok Thanks. Bye."

Spike came in stealing his dad's keys. He grabbed Buffy's hand guiding her to the black pickup.

"Sorry about my dad. He insists on calling me William. He really isn't that bad." Spike started down the road towards the school.

"He seemed nice enough. Turn left on the next street, and it's the one with an explorer."

He pulled up to the house slowly. He wanted to kiss her but was afraid she wouldn't react well.

"Bye Buffy. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Bye Will." She grinned at the nickname.

Sliding out of the car she walked to the house waving slowly as she entered. Putting her bags down; she walked to her room quickly turning on her CD player.

"I'm home" She yelled to whoever was listening. The last Chord of 'Hello' struck and she listened to 'My Last Breath'.

Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid

"Where the bloody hell have you been. You little slut, you like my punishment don't you?" He was walking toward her as she backed away slowly, not realizing until it was too late that the bed was behind her.

"Where are my mom and Dawn?" her voice was shaky and she fell to the bed.

"I sent them out for ice cream. They have been worried about you." He slowly fell onto her hitting her and ripping her clothes. She screamed hoping to stop him.

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms
Holding my last breath?
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you

He Held her tighter raping her slowly. He turned her music louder as he caused her more pain. Why doesn't he stop it has never hurt this much. Why can't I hide? Why does he do this to me?

Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree

"I don't like doing this to you Buffy; I don't like this kind of pain. It hurts me more than you dear." He Lied. He had decided earlier that day that she was his and no one else could have her. Why does she like that boy, she has me, she works to have this. She bit his hand as he tried to cover her screams. Slowly tears fell down his face.

I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.

Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

Slowly she started to whimper giving up on ever getting out, she knew she couldn't do it, she had prayed about it every time this happened, to make it stop. It was no different this time as she had her prayers fail. Closing her eyes she gave away to the pain.

Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there

She gave away to consciousness.

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, Holding me as you fade to black

(Say goodnight)
Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid)
Safe inside myself
(Calling me, Holding me)
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet ruptured light
It ends here tonight

(Holding my last breath)
(Safe inside myself)
(Are all my thoughts of you)
(Sweet ruptured light)
(It ends here tonight)
(Holding my last breath)
