Chapter 3

Willow went from house to house begging for a room. Her past few nights since the slayer had kicked her out had been spent with Amy. Amy, Willow had thought, had been a good friend these past couple of days. That was all until Willow had found out what a back stabbing liar she was and always will be.

Tonight Amy had taken Willow's addiction to magic to a whole new level. One Willow would never want to experience again.

Willow knew she couldn't keep begging for a room off the citizens of sunnydale. The one person she could beg was Buffy. Buffy Ann Summer's, the slayer and protector of Sunnydale and once best friend seemed t be the only person who could save Willow from a life of evil magic.

It was quiet in the Summer's residents. Just like it had been for almost a week now. Buffy couldn't bare it. She had felt like she just wanted to give up.

With Giles gone and her best friends at each others throats Buffy just had to get out and fast. She went to the bronze. The bronze was always Buffy's usual escape place. She had spent most of her time there between high school and saving the world, it felt like her second home.

Buffy sat in her usual seat and thought. She thought about everything, everything meaning Spike and Willow. She knew she had feelings for the bleached-blonde that much scared her; it was unlike Buffy to even think about Spike in such a way. Buffy kicked herself for it. Why did she always pick the guys she shouldn't?

Buffy kept going over and over in her head of the night she saw Spike die and the weird dream she had just the other day.

She needed answers. And needed them now.

Buffy sat down in Spike's crypt. It was all empty and dark just how she expected to find it. She again sat in Spike's comfy chair hoping to fall asleep as she did before. Maybe, just maybe if Buffy could decipher the dream she had then it may clear her head up. She had to give it a shot.

Buffy kept nodding off to sleep but every time she just couldn't stay in the land of nod. Buffy was so busy trying to get to sleep she didn't even notice the tall man stood at the door. He had been watching Buffy for a good half hour by now before he had to make his presence known.

"That wont work Buffy." The man said.

Buffy jumped up in fright as she recognised the person who stood before her.

Xander had made up his mind. He couldn't go through with the wedding. He couldn't live, knowing what his girlfriend had done. Even though she hadn't meant to, she still did and that stuck out in Xander's mind like a sore thumb.

He would hate himself for this but it had to be done. Xander was going to tell Anya the wedding was off. He picked up a piece of paper and started scribbling his break-up speech down. However what as he checked it he knew what ever he said it wasn't going to hurt less.

Tara and Dawn walked down the street linking arms and sharing a joke that sounded funny at the time. Dawn loved spending time with Tara; she was so sensitive and spoke her mind. She was like a big sister to her when Buffy was away doing her slayer gig.

Even thought her and Willow had long since split, Tara and Dawn still went to the pictures together. Today they had gone to see the new movie, serenity.

The pair sat down at a table in the nearest café and ordered a large chocolate milkshake to share.

"Wow, that's big." Tara had said when it arrived.

Both of them were enjoying their milkshake when the sound of a car beeping and skidding made both of them jump.

As they looked out they saw the horrible sight of a nock down.

Blood covered the pavement and the sight made both the girls sick. The thing that made them even sicker was when they realised the victim under the wheels of the Mercedes-Benz was the body of willow Rosenberg.
