(Last Chapter.)
"You can do this." Dawn echoes before she lets go of both of their hands and they all walk up stairs.
Dawn looks over at Xander, Giles, and Angel's solemn faces.
"Well then…let's get everything ready."
"Get everything set up, everything must be ready by sunset." She barks at Amy who bows her head and follows her commands without protest.
SPAWNSPAWN
Dear Diary,
I replay the events that happened that night in my head constantly and every time I do, I know I did the right thing. For everyone. I never wanted it to come to that, but there was no way around it. Buffy fulfilled her destiny when she died for me and she never wanted to come back to the hell we live in. I never knew until then that the voice in my head wasn't Spike at all, it was my own sister telling me everything she felt and how much I ruined her, and that it was my job to give her the life she should have had. . .
The two Summers sisters stared at each other, Buffy with a wild and terrifying rage in her just waiting to be released. Dawn knew this was not her sister anymore. This…thing took over Buffy when she was brought back.
Dawn approached her older sister as they battled. Punches and kicks were thrown by the Slayer, not really having any effect on Dawn, other than emotional pain.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you Dawnie, you're the reason my mother died! You're the reason I'm like this!" Buffy screamed throwing punch after punch trying to make her scream, make her bleed.
Dawn smiled sadly as she punched her sister and sent her flying against the tower wall, the same tower that destroyed them both, so long ago.
"You're right. I am the reason you're like this. Now it's my responsibility to give you what you've always wanted." She said somberly looking over to where Spike was standing, a sad look on his face as well. While he was there the whole time, Spike respected Dawn's wishes to do this battle herself, unless something forced him to intervene.
"And what's that? You all dead!" Buffy screamed trying to struggle to stand on her feet while Dawn slowly walked towards her.
"To forget." She whispered tears slowly making their way down her face as she put her hands on Buffy's head and closed her eyes.
"Goodbye Buffy"
She always craved for a normal life once hers was taken away from her. She gave her life for me so the least I could do was save hers in return.
I check up on her from time to time. Her and Willis are engaged, he loves what she does to him, how she takes control during sex, and how she looks at him with love in her eyes. Buffy finally found someone who didn't just like her because of her looks and while she won't ever remember her life as a Slayer, she does remember she had a man named Angel who broke her heart and left her empty until she met Willis. Buffy Ann Gellar has no siblings and unfortunately hasn't had any close friends until recently. No one even remembers who Buffy Summers was thanks to me. It hurts to know I'm not her sister anymore, but I always will be, maybe one day we can meet again.
Giles asked me what happened to all her Slayer strength and I told him the truth. Her Slayer powers went to Faith, the real Slayer, whose destiny hasn't been fulfilled yet. Faith is actually on her way to visit us before we leave. After I pulled some strings and got her out of prison she's been living in LA with Angel and the rest of the gang to get her life back together and train the right way. Faith is getting a second chance and I know she is not going to blow it this time. She remembers who Buffy is and has been very understanding and helpful through this whole ordeal.
Willow however didn't get the same treatment that Buffy got. Whether it be because of what she did to Buffy in the first place or what she tried to that night, I didn't have the same sympathy for Willow and neither did Tara. Her and Xander were both so brave that night and I'm proud of them both. I knew Tara had the strength and I'm glad she knows it now too.
Tara and Xander rushed to the site once Amy was out of the way. Xander tried to get through to her, telling her how much she meant to him and how they met over that yellow crayon, and how he knew he would do anything for her because he loved her that much.
If her hair didn't keep changing from black to red, he wouldn't have even known his words meant anything to her. It didn't do the trick though; she flung him as far as she could and left him unconscious, like he was just a little fly in her way.
Tara stepping into view in that moment, her aura seemed to have glowed because Willow turned to look at her and it took all of her power not to cry.
"Willow what are you doing? You don't want to do this." She said this in a way only Tara could. Like no matter what everything was going to be okay.
"You left me!" Willow screamed and tried to use her powers on her…but it didn't work, Willow's magic couldn't touch Tara, she was pure while Willow's magic was too tainted.
"I wont let you hurt anyone else Willow." She stated and she waved her hand and the book of Agatha was out of Willow's possession and into hers.
"No!" Willow screamed and tried to get it back.
"What happened to you Willow? You used to be so wonderful, so full of joy and life and that's the you I fell in love with. You were my whole world and all I wanted was for you to love me as much as you loved magic." Tara cried but tried to keep her composure.
"I love you Tara!" Willow protested and her hair turned its original fiery red and her eyes turned their normal shade before she crumbled onto the ground in tears.
"I love you so much!" She kept saying over and over as Tara stood over her, her face sad but determined.
"I won't let you do anything like this again." She finally said and Willow looked up with tears in her eyes.
"I wont I promise, I just want you back!" Willow pleaded.
"It doesn't work that way Willow." Tara sadly answered before she closed her eyes and started chanting the words she never knew before that moment.
She heard Willow scream and Tara felt the magic in Willow leave her body and transfer into the air, as all the life and destruction Willow caused repaired and was recovered, including healing Xander.
"What did you do to me?" Willow asked not having the strength to even move.
"Your powers destroyed you, Buffy, and even killed someone, you didn't deserve the powers you were given so I gave it back to the life you destroyed." She said this calmly and listened to Willow's heartbreaking cries until Xander, who was fully healed by Willow's magic, went to her side and comforted her.
Tara didn't stay long after that, she made sure Willow had a rehab to go to in England where Giles and Xander were staying too to help her recover, but after that…she couldn't stay. She gave me and Spike a long and touching goodbye and made us promise to keep our necklaces on, not that we would take them off and she went to LA with Angel. She calls a lot and we make sure to visit her when we can feel her loneliness through our necklaces. Fred has become a close friend to Tara and me and Spike even seem to get along with her. She seems like a good friend and hopefully we will get to know her better. There's something about her though…a feeling that I need to protect her, I don't know but I'm going to trust that feeling. Angel and Tara seemed to have gotten very close and I find myself wondering if Tara is planning on switching sides again…
After Angel saw Buffy for the short amount of time that he did, I knew he wanted nothing more than to go over to her and beg for forgiveness, but he knew what the right thing to do was, and once he saw Willow he knew he had to help stop her, without Amy there to be the willing human sacrifice, the plan wouldn't have worked anyway.
As for Amy, well that rat got everything that was coming for her. Angel and Giles did a perfect job, and performed a spell to turn her back into a rat forever; her new home is with the Watcher's Council, who keep her in a room to be studied and examined until her final days.
Spike would laugh if he read any of this, not that I don't know he will as soon as I walk away and he has the chance, he still keeps a close watch on me. I don't know what I would do without Spike. All this time I have been silently begging for him to save me and he did. He did everything he could to save me from myself and so much more. I love him and I know he's it for me. I still haven't told him the big surprise yet, but I will soon. I hope he can handle loving me forever, because that's how long he has me for.
Dawn Summers.
Dawn closed her diary and smiled thinking of how everything has changed. Surprisingly it's been for the better. Her and Spike were currently looking for a new place to live, they couldn't stay in Sunnydale any longer. Faith was planning on moving down there so the hellmouth will be as safe as it can get but other than that there was no reason for them to stay. Tara was gone and they can visit her with a flick of her hand if she needs us, Giles, Xander, everyone that mattered to her was gone except Spike and he hated that place almost as much as her.
"Hey luv." Spike huskily whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her. She smiled and leaned into his embrace.
"Hey yourself." She replied.
"So I was thinking…." He said as he started to kiss her neck his hands slowly playing with the hem of her shirt. No matter how much she loves him it still surprises her that he feels the same as she does.
"Hmm?" She answered closing her eyes and putting her hand on his head gripping his hair.
"We go ta Jersey again." He whispered into her ear as his hand went under her shirt, his cold fingers leaving shivers down her spine as he cupped her breast through her bra.
"We should, but not forever I want to see the world with you Spike." She moaned before turning around to kiss him passionately on the lips.
"Then we better get started then huh luv?" He smirked once they broke apart.
"Why? We have forever." She smiled at the look of confusion on his face.
They definitely did have forever.
THE END!
