A very short song fic about the end of Cassie's life and her moving on, based on "Hello" by "Evanescence". Please R & R, it will mean a lot.
What happens next?
Cassie's image of a new poem spun through her head as she looked at Buffy and stoked her hair.
Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Cassie takes a sharp breath and collapses onto the floor. Buffy kneels down at her side.
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
"Cassie? Cassie."
Cassie's spirit slowly rose herself out of her body. She looked back down at Buffy, saw her as her tears flowed.
Hello, I'm your mind giving you
someone to talk to
Hello
"No, don't cry for me." She spoke, but Buffy couldn't hear her. She reached out for her.
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
'See? You can make a difference.' Buffy's words rang through her mind. She bent down at her body's side, at Buffy's side. She reached out to touch her own body, her hand passed straight through it. "Take me back, please take me back." She wept.
Don't try to fix me, I'm not brokenBuffy put her head on her chest, checked her pulse. Checking for any sign of life.
Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
"No, come on! Cassie. Cassie." Buffy wept even more.
"Please don't cry..." Cassie begged, trying to put her hand on Buffy's shoulder but it passed straight through.
Buffy shivered and looked up. "Cassie? Is that you? Are you there?...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
"I forgive you, Buffy." Cassie tried, even though she knew Buffy couldn't hear her.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Cassie stood up, looking at the scene before her. "I was right." She spoke to thin air.
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of her, an old lady.
"Grandma." She spoke to the shinning figure. She nodded. "You must come with me darling."
Hello, I'm still here
"But, I'm not ready to leave yet. I'm too young, there are so many things I haven't done."
"But you must come. It is your time."
All that's left of yesterday
Cassie nodded, the tears seeping from her eyes once more, as she took her Grandmother's hand. Her Grandma smiled and bowed her head as they began to fade.
"Goodbye Buffy and thank you." Cassie spoke as they faded completely.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please review. Thanks.
