For Good or Bad, The Memories Remain.

Chapter 12

Disclaimer- I don't still own Buffy and crew, I just use them in my writing, just for fun, never for profit "Cause that's wrong!"

Spoilers- mid 4th season then everything takes a left turn off the charted path

Rating- May get to R eventually

She was too late. It might have been the three dogs she had to kill. It was probably the four human lackeys she had to dispatch. That would have bothered her several days ago. Not now. She knew she should have moved faster but she was still trying to readjust to all the memories so fresh in her head. She could feel them leaving the other side of the cemetery, too far for her to get there, not to mention the other limitations. She saw the body from forty feet away, on her knees, held up by the spear through her chest. When she finally got to her, she was still barely breathing. She knelt beside her, wrapping her arms around her friend. Her tears flowed as fast as the rain did down her face. A brief whispered goodbye between them, then all was silence. She picked up the limp body and began walking to the edge of the cemetery where she knew she would find them.

Giles was soaked to the core in the first five minutes they were outside. He was not sure what he would be able to do for Willow or Buffy but he knew he had to try. He was somewhat glad that Sasha had come with him, since he knew that she could handle just about any fighting that came up. He could also now see why she had been described as ghost-like. She made not a sound and moved so fluidly she seemed to flow. They got to the cemetery Xander had indicated, and were following the trail of bodies when the shapes came out of the mist. Such a small figure carrying another. Giles and Sasha both kinda froze in place, not knowing what to do.

As Buffy walked past the pair carrying Willow's limp body, she looked up at the tall, dark haired one.

"Not a word, Sasha. Not one FUCKING word." Her voice as cold and flat as any they had ever heard.

She walked off into the rain.
