Buffy, Angel, Giles, and Xander are not mine. They don't belong to me.

Part One
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Willow was dead. She was sprawled out on the ground like a rag doll. Her blood was spread out in a pool darker than her hair. She was staring at the floor not seeing anything. Buffy on the other hand saw everything in a horrible speed. She saw the knife rip into Willow's stomach and her fall. Buffy saw the last breath she struggled to make, then shudder with a curious sound. All there was now was blood. It was all over Buffy. All over Wilow. All over the floor. And all over the knife that had killed her best friend.
They were fighting a loosing battle.
It only took seconds before the vampires were on her again. She kicked two off of her. She lashed out a hand and felt it connect with another one. His jaw gave a satisfying crack and he was thrown backwards. She was a whirl of punches and kicks in a desperate atempt to get them off of her.
Angel was suddenly there pulling them off of her. His fangs were gnashing and his eyes were wild. He was snarling and roaring, the vampire side of him letting loose as he faught. They faught together. Not side by side or in any order. They just faught. No thought was made, no plan. It all came down to force. There had to be at least ten of them there. As Buffy faught she didn't see Xander. Instinctively she knew he was dead. Buffy had no stakes, no holly water, and no cross bow. Just her hands. She drew up every skill Merric and Giles ever taught her. Anything she had seen on her own. Anything that came to her in her dreams, from times before her birth. She drew on everything and Angel drew on all the savagery he had perfected into an art a hundred years ago. Still they hardly made a dent in the siege as more joined their attackers.
One of the vampires reached up and grabbed Buffy's cross and ripped it off her neak. She grabbed a vampire by her and picked him up over her head. She threw him at the vampire that had taken her only protection. They both flew through the air all the way across to the other side of the warehouse. She lashed out at another one. Then she heard Angel scream near her. Distracted she looked over to the sound. She saw him, in his human face creased in shock and pain. He held a stake that pocked out of his chest. He looked to her. She was there in a second and grasped his hand. Suddenly he was loosing shape. She felt his hand give way into ash. The rest of him followed cascading to the floor. Buffy in the path was washed in his ashes. He fell inot her hair and cloths. The soft warm ashes brushed her face. She closed her eyes at it stung them. Tears fell down her checks. She opened her bleary eyes. Angel was dead. Giles was dead. Willow was dead. Xander was dead. They were all dead. She was alone. She had failed them. She had failed in her duty. They had won.
The vampires gathered around her. The tears made trails down her face, through the ash and blood. She didn't care. Buffy bent back her head and screamed. She screamed without words and with every drop of pain and sorrow she had. The vampires advanced on her and she made no effort to guard herself. She just screamed letting the insanity that threatened to overwhelm her shroud her. Buffy was surrounded by the vampires completly. They piled on her gnashing thier teet bitting into her. In every inch of her. At some point she stopped screaming. Either she just stopped or she physically couldn't she wasn't sure. It went on for an eternity util they moved away from her. They let her fall and she crumpled to the ground. Her blood was splattered on the floor and Angel's ashes mixed with them. He still covered her underneath her blood. In her hand she grasped tightly a handful of ashes and Angel's ring. Her vision blured and she felt everything slip away from her.
