(Buffy's POV)
I walked to the Bronze because I knew that's where everyone would be nearing sundown. I had more confidence in my walk tonight even though I knew this would be the battle where a lot of people would die; I'm not one of them. I had my stakes where I could access them quickly and my holy water where I could throw at ease.
I took a deep breath before I entered the building then proceeded with the up most caution.
"Welcome slayer to your final resting place." A voice rang from above my head.
I walked over and stood in front of the stage to find my family standing around or sitting down on the stage. They all looked at me with smiles from ear to ear and I just returned it. They all stood up to look down on me like I was the meat they were all hunting, but in the end they would go to sleep hungry.
"I'm ready to play now who is ready to go first?" I said with a smile.
Dawn stepped down first with a smile on her face.
"I never thought I would see the day when I get to kick my older sister ass." She said the lunged at me.
My sister never knew what hit her until I said good bye in her ear then nothing but dust hit the floor. Xander stepped down next, but was more cautious than Dawn with advancement. Our feet worked for the first 5 minutes without making advances. The others just stood around like nothing and watched patiently.
"Come on Buffy I've seen you fight better than this make a move and start already." He said while still shuffling his feet.
I smiled at him then lunged while pulling out a bottle of water and catching him on the left side of his face. He knocked me to the ground and screamed out in pain so I caught him under his feet and he hit the ground. I drew up the next stake and then nothing but dust hit the floor once more.
I stood up and turned around to find Anya as my next competitor, which was going to be fun because she was an ex-demon. She advanced then got me off guard by swiping my feet out from under me. I hit the floor hard and I saw birds afterwards, but not for very long. I jumped back up onto my feet and Anya was on me again with punching my lower jaw. I felt it and staggered but never faltered once so I kept going.
"Come on slayer your line has been doing this for generations since the beginning of time. Don't tell me that you're getting rusty now," she said not even out of breath.
All I did was smile at my next move because she was about to be taken down. I advanced on her, but as she came toward me I side tracked then she pasted me and I stuck her with my next stake. Dust fluttered onto the floor once more and I was left with nothing but a bloody nose. I looked up at the stage to find the three magic experts standing there with smirks written on their faces.
"Okay who is next to get an ass betting?" I said standing up straight.
I watched as the girls draw in for a passionate kiss, I knew it was their last before they met back up in hell. Tara dropped from the stage to face me and I knew they had something up their sleeves.
"No magic this time Buffy I promise a fair fight." Tara said to me, but I didn't really believe it.
Tara advanced on me and got me to the ground faster than the others. She smiled down at me as Willow came and stood over my head smiling down at me. Tara was sitting on my waist area while holding down my arms.
"Maybe a little magic because it won't hurt…too much at least." Willow said as Tara got off of me.
The next thing was I found myself up on the wall above the ground. I couldn't move in any way, shape, or form so I did the next best thing, screamed.
The girls dropped me to throw their hands over their ears from the loud noise. I took my chance and threw two stakes at them and caught them right where I wanted. They looked at each other before dust flutter in the air to hit the floor.
Claps rang out from on stage. I knew that there was only one family member left to send to hell, Rupert Giles.
"Wow Buffy so many down in such a short amount of time I think I'm impressed finally with your performance. Good girl, but now it's time to die for real this time." He said hopping down from the stage.
Jumping down off the stage I knew now that I had met my match with Giles. The man stood there and I remembered when we first met in the library at Sunnydale High on my first day here in Sunnydale. Flashes began coming across my mind as I stood there looking at the man that had become more of a father to me than my own.
"Don't tell me that you are going to back down Buffy." He said with a smile.
"Sorry Giles, but this time you won't be able to have the last word." I said then made my move.
I came at him low trying to catch him at his waste, but he threw me over his head and into the front of the stage. I didn't land on my feet, but it did make me stop and catch my breath back.
"Awe are you losing your touch slayer? I never thought it would be this easy to take you out the two of you." He said walking slowly towards me.
"What are you talking about the two of us? Where is Faith?" I asked slowly standing up.
"In Hell were she belongs just like you. You see I got tired of taking orders from a little girl so I took her out. Oh yes the scream she let out before dust fluttered the floor was absolutely amazing Buffy you should have seen it." He said standing now 3 feet in front of me.
I stared at the man that used to be my watcher. He took out a slayer vampire without even trying and was still standing here today. Never in the years that I have been a slayer found it possible, but here is the man that proved me wrong.
"So let me ask you a question…are you ready to join the rest of the slayer line Buffy Anne Summers?" he asked.
I looked at him in his eyes then giggled before I gave my answer.
"No Rupert, but I think you are ready to join the past watchers. Remember one thing before I say goodbye Giles thanks for all you did for my friends, my family, and me." I said then advanced on him.
Giles turned sideways and I followed his step then found my stake hit home. The man just smiled at me before turning into dust. I fell to the floor after my task was completed. Tears finally came as I broke down from what had just happened. I was running on adrenaline when I first came to the Bronze and I was ready to complete my task of taking out my family.
Black came to my vision and I was out cold on the floor of the Bronze.
A dream came to me one that comes often. I saw everyone at my house and we were all sitting around the big table eating a big supper that Dawn and I cooked. We just sat around laughing at jokes that Xander tells all the time. Giles tells us stories and sang to us once or twice. Dawn tells us about her day at school and how cruel people are. Willow and Tara just sit there listening while taking glances at each other. Anya tells us about how much money she made at the Magic Box.
I sit at the head of the table listening to my family. They all turn to look at me with smiles across their faces.
"So Buffy how was your day?"
