The Harvest
"The earth is doomed."
They were only children. Special children, naturally. But children nonetheless. Children with good intentions, children who are now the protectors of the earth.
Buffy and Willow and Xander. And…I suppose I am going with them too.
Three children are the earth's only defense against the mystic energies of the Hellmouth.
They're friends now, I believe. At the very least, they are not enemies. Imagine if Cordelia or Harmony or one of those girls found out about all of this. At least Willow and Xander can be practical—something Cordelia and her group would never be able to achieve.
Buffy is the Slayer. Can she really have…friends?
Sometimes I wonder if the Watcher's Council is right in wanting the Slayer to be alone. She seems so much more like a real child now, as she talks with Willow and Xander. She seems so much freer, so much happier…
But she is the Slayer. And she must fight.
She can't be free and happy. It will just make her life harder.
