Giles walked out of his office with the Slayer's diary in hand. He looked at the table and found it missing one person. "Where's Buffy?" He asked Willow. "She went out for snacks, she got a sudden attack of the munchies."

Minutes later Buffy returned with a two sodas and a box filled with donuts. "Okay i'm back, let the story begin again." she said announcing her prescence. She sat down and handed Willow a soda. She opened the box and picked out a glazed, warm treat. "Nothing better than a night of sugar and a good drama," she said taking a bite.

"I suggest there are jelly-filled in there," said Giles giving the box the once over. Buffy nodded. The Watcher happily took one and savored the taste. "Giles?" Willow asked between sips of her soda. "Yes?" he asked with a mouth full of raspberry jelly. The girls cringed in disgust. "Sorry," he said then closed his mouth. He swallowed his food and asked, "Yes?"

"Are we going to continue the story?" Willow asked. Giles opened the book to the marked page, "Okay," he began.

date: march 6 1996

I woke up to the sounds of lots of yelling and growling. I quickly walked to the rooms door, took a deep breath, then yanked open the door. I walked out into the hall and into the living room where the sounds were coming from. The room was a mess. The tv was on the floor with a huge crack in the screen. The coffee table was snapped in two. The sofa's stuffing was ripped out and thrown all over the floor. Tiny smashed pieces of glass littered the floor.

"Greg!" I called out to my watcher. "Krysten," came a weak voice from behind me. I turned to see my watcher sitting down in a corner with his arms wrapped around his stomach. I bent down, "Oh my god, what happened?" I asked. He coughed up blood and gurgled, "Behind you."

I turned around too late. The ogre demon wrapped his fat hand around my slender neck. He pulled me close then launched me high into the air. My back collided with the ceiling sending waves of pain through me. I fell back down at Greg's feet. I grunted in pain, these things weren't ordinary demons. They were way too strong. Ignoring me the demon made a grab for Greg.

A kicked out at his outstretched arm and flipped to my feet. I refused to allow Greg to die. I executed a powerful kick at his chest sending him flying into the brick panel above the fire palce. While he recovered i slowly but swiftly lifted Greg into my arms.

I carried him out of the doorway, which was missing the door, and over to my car. I opened the side door and eased him into the back seat. He lied there silent but he was breathing so maybe i had time to get him into a hospital. I hoped into the front seat and proceeded to start the car.

I cursed loudly when i realized i left my keys on the bed in the room. I took a deep breath and exited my car. I walked around to the trunk and popped it open. I pulled out a small hand ax. This would barely bruise the demon but it was all I had. I walked into the destroyed house, ax at the ready.

I scanned the room but did not see my fallen foe. I didn't have time to wonder where he had gotten to, so i quickly jogged to the room where i had been slumbering only half an hour before. I saw the keys and snatched them up. I turned when a low growl came from behind me. There he was. Staring at me with his dark eyes from the doorway. Greg's condition prevented me from engaging in yet another battle with the thing so i did the quickest thing i could. As he started for me, i pushed my self back as hard as i could. I crashed into then out of the window. Before i was completely out i threw the ax as hard as my strength would allow. I knew the ax had reached its mark when a loud shriek of pain erupted from the broken window.

I landed on the soft grass with keys in hand. I turned over and made a mad dash for my car. "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine." i said more to myself than to Greg. I started my car and sped towards the hospital.

After several hours of waiting in the lobby of Healthy Memorial Hospital I began to panic. What was taking so long? I kept asking myself over and over. When i finally couldn't take it anymore a doctor came my way. I prepared myself for what ever news he was about to give me. He came up to me with a grim look on his face. Please god, NO. "Miss Walker," said the Doctor. I took a deep breathe and looked up at him, "Yes?"

"Well, your Husband?" he guessed. "Friend," I corrected. "Well, your friend has lost an overwhelming amout of blood," he told me. Tears began to roll down my cheeks as he continued. "We were able to patch him up, but we ran into other complications with him. His wounds were so severe that we were unable to help him. He has internal bleeding, and a bit of head trauma. We've done all we can do. the rest is up to him." he finished.

As i processed the information i asked in a strained voice, "Can i see him?"

He nodded then led me to the room. "He's resting but you can sit and wait." He left and i entered. The room was pretty dark with only one lamp producing light in the corner. I grabbed a chair and slid it over to Greg's bed. I sat and studied my Watcher. He had looked better since i brought him in. They cleaned him up and bandanged his tiny cuts on his face. His eyes were black and blue and his lip was busted. The rising and falling of chest calmed me a bit. So did the steady beep of of the life support. I fought the urge to wail and scream.

I reached to hold his hand while i silently prayed for a miracle. I gasped when he stirred. His eyes slowly opened and looked straight at me. I gave him a weak smile, "Hey."

"Hey," his voice was hoarse. "Where am i?" he asked. "At Healthy Memorial," i responded. He looked confuse so i explained, "After the demon attacked you i rushed you to the hospital." I stopped then continued, "There's something you need to know. The doctor told me-What?" i asked noticing his look at me. "I need to tell you something," he said.

"You can tell me later, now..."

"No! Now," He whispered loudly. "Okay, what is it?" He took a slow breath then began, "Last night, when you fell asleep, i looked up our demon in one of the books. I found him. I also found a spell to kill him," His face got very serious. "Now listen to me, in the book called Dark and evil beings i saw the spell for their demise, but..." He stopped. The steady beep of his life support began to beep wildly. A loud alarm rang out to signal the doctors to that area. Greg began to spasm wildly, then as quickly as it began it was over. The life support was now flat lined. Doctors and Nurses began to rush into the room. I stood aside and let them work.

After five minutes of intense work one of the doctors sighed. "Call it," he said. My world shattered at those words. This time i cried. I didn't even fight it.
