Best Enemies: What is Human?
by DiabloVixen
The next morning the gang met at the Magic Box. Anya looked tired and drained. She apparently had been working hard all night trying to bring the Magic box back to its usual shine. The mess on the floor was now gone but store shelves remained destroyed along with the items that the shelves once contained.

“How c-can we do this, Giles?” Willow asked. “How can we look at ourselves in the mirror knowing what we have done?”

“We have gone over this numerous times, Willow.” Giles said. “She’s not human.”

“Maybe she isn’t. But she’s Buffy’s sister. Buffy has lost so much. Riley, her mom, and now she’s going to lose her sister. She might not be able to handle it.”

“We don’t have time to concern ourselves with bloody emotions.” Giles said throwing his glasses in anger. Although Willow was surprised by Giles’s outburst it wasn’t unexpected. Lately everyone has been so easily agitated. “It pains us all to see Buffy hurting like this, but in the end this will be for the best. This is the only way we can achieve a peaceful end. Tonight we are going to the ritual and we proceed with the plan.”
