Chapter 9: The End Has Come
A/N: The chapter is also very angsty and has a little more action. Xander shall appear continuing his cameo. This chapter has violent content. If you are skittish don't read. This chapter was named after Ben Moody's "The End Has Come." I am also changing the layout of Sunnydale High.
Angel and Faith hid in the bell tower. She looked around at her surroundings. This place was falling apart. Angel listened quietly. He could hear footsteps.
Meanwhile….
Spike looked at them door. The loud noises had stopped. Spike kicked Xander, this caused Xander to look at him.
"I gotta know what's going on," Spike whispered eyeing the back door. "Come on let's go."
Xander didn't resist, he followed Spike quietly. Spike crouched while walking, so he wouldn't attract attention. Spike quietly opened the door, and slipped into the hall, Xander followed.
&&&&&&&&
Angel held Faith close to him. "What the hell is going on?" Faith demanded to know.
Angel listened closely. The footsteps were getting closer. "Angel," Faith said.
"Shut up," he said in a hushed voice, "is there any other way out of here?"
"You're looking at it, what the hell is going on?" Faith asked again.
"Jonathan's got a gun, he's lost it," Angel said, unusually calm.
The footsteps stopped, Angel looked at Faith. Faith looked around the room.
"This way," she said walking quietly over to an old wooden door that was covered in dust.
Angel quickly opened it, and quickly closed it when they got through.

Jonathan was beginning to have second thoughts. He gripped the gun in his hand and turned around. He walked back to the hall. Is anger once again broke him when he saw Spike and Xander standing there. Spike was checking for a pulse on Buffy. He shook his head, it was there, faint, but there. Principal Snyder, on the other hand, didn't have one.
Jonathan aimed the gun at Spike, his hand shook as he contemplated if he should take another life or not. His finger curled around the trigger. Xander looked up and saw Jonathan standing there, the trigger was pulled. Xander pushed Spike out of the way. The bullet hit Xander in the shoulder.
He grabbed his shoulder in pain. Spike looked up but Jonathan was gone.
&&&&&&&&
Too much pain, and suffering, and hurt. He had hurt so many, he played God for an hour. Getting rid of another meaningless life wouldn't hurt anybody. It was time to end the game. He held the gun up to his head, his hand shook violently as a tear fell from his right eye.
He was standing in the library, his last words were a prayer. Then the last bullet was fired.
&&&&&&&&
Okay, so how did I do?
