For disclaimer and such please refer to chapter 1.
Note: Thank you for everyone's review. I know the story is kinda weird... but what can I say? I'm weird (creepy laugh in the background). Anyways, can't do this without you! ;p
- BUFFY'S POV -
Giles still hasn't called.
May be the council has gotten to give him the message?
Or they just don't care? Well, I hope not, 'cos I'm not sure how long I can take this crap.
Dawn and Tara are still against the idea of dusting Drusilla, while Xander is all 'go for it'.
Not that his option really matters. Sorry Xander, it just... well, Tara seems to have a point.
We should at least wait for Giles. And Angel is right. In the vision department? Drusilla is definitely the one to ask.
Even if she's a bit crazy. Well, a lot actually.
And I hate it.
Giles, where- wait. Who is knocking on my door? Um... may be Anya? She said she'll come by today.
She usually just pops in. Literally. But may be now she's a human again, she will start relearning some human manners?
Even if she never learn the last-
What the...
Is that Giles who's standing at my front porch?
And who the heck are those girls behind him?
- WILLOW'S POV -
Hello Giles.
You look a bit tired. Must be because of those scary faces I saw in the visions.
You should get some rest, you know?
And will you please not keep throwing glares at Dru?
Even though she is the reason Jenny is dead.
Even though she is the reason you almost died.
Even though she is now holding me in her arms.
Oh! Someone's coming... Is she one of those slayers-in-training? I heard Buffy saying something about three SiTs.
Um... That girl looks nervous.
"Giles?"
"Yes, Annabelle?"
Hello Annabelle. Don't worry. I don't bite. I can't say the same for Dru though.
"Kennedy and Dawn are arguing up stairs, again."
"I'm coming right up."
Oh-oh.
"Annabelle?"
"Willow?"
No, Giles. Don't come closer.
"Rats..."
Goddess...
"You are rat, they are cats. Out of the rat hole, as good as dead."
I can feel Dru's hand on my hair. Do you see, Dru? Do you see her heart? Her soul?
Her bones deep inside those pesky vessels?
"Stay inside, out of sight. Being naughty, mummy will be mad."
I can feel them coming... please Dru... save me...
"Willow, what do you mean?"
I think I hear Giles' voice, but everything is so blurry... so blurry...
It hurts.
And I scream.
- TARA'S POV -
I run down the stairs to my Willow. I can hear the pain in her screams.
"NO!"
Buffy shouts from behind when Giles is trying to get closer to Willow. Too late. Willow's power sends him towards the opposite side of the basement.
It is the one thing we are certain: don't get close to Willow after she has a vision... or at any time. Buffy must have forgotten to tell him.
But my poor Willow. She looks so much in pain. Drusilla is holding her hands, trying to stop herself from tearing her own skin. She is sobbing and trashing and all I can do is standing there, watching her helplessly.
Oh Goddess. Why? Why does it have to be my Willow?
Why?
- XANDER'S POV -
I have never felt this helpless before.
Not even when Buffy died.
Because every time bad things happen, Willow will be there, helping us, fixing things...
But isn't that Willow fixing things got her here in the first place?
Her fixing things with magic?
Her trying to help us, when she is falling deeper and deeper into the black hole?
We never saw that.
We never help.
I never help.
