For Good or Bad, The Memories Remain.
Chapter 26
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
He didn't know where to take her, so he went to where they always went with their problems; Giles'. When he got there, before he could knock, the door swung open, Buffy in the doorway holding her short sword.
"What happened?"
"I found her walking down the sidewalk, dripping blood. She mumbled enough for me to know she seems to have killed someone." He looked into Buffy's eyes as he said this, noting no change. "Somehow you're not surprised. What has gotten into you, and what did you pass on to Willow? Tara won't have anything to do with her, screamed that the love of her life is dead, and Willow is evil. And now Willow, the kind caring one of us, hacked somebody's head off with a pocket knife. Once again, what is going on?
She looked up at Xander with those hazel eyes pooling with tears at the idea of going through the whole thing again
"I can't explain right now. You just have to trust me that she will be fine."
"Fine! I found my friend walking down the street covered in blood and you tell me that everything's FINE! Fine don't cut it!" He feels Willow stir. She opens her eyes and looks at Buffy.
"You should congratulate me Buffy, Now I'm a monster, just like you." As she holds up her blood covered arms.
At these words, all her anger and firm resolve vanished. Her eyes two hollow tunnels into her soul, she slumped to the ground on the porch, blindly staring at her feet.
Willow wrapped her arms around Xander heedless of the ruin she made of his shirt.
Xander stood dumbfounded, even more at a loss for what was going on. He slowly walked into Giles' living room.
