Buffy awoke from her sleep in the middle of the night and reached to her
Bedside table to have a drink from the glass of water she had put there before
she went to sleep. ‘Damn. Empty.’ She thought. So careful not to step on anyone
as she went she picked her way down the corridor and into the bathroom to
refill her glass. Not noticing that Drusilla was following her. But her heart
sank when she walked into the bathroom. Because she found herself walking
into the Bronze. She knew this dream well and she knew how it ended. ‘Not this time’ she said to herself. But as much as she didn’t want to her feet retraced
the same steps as they did the last time she had, had this dream, so she knew she wouldn’t be able to save him. Sure enough though, there was Willow and her monkey, Her mom with her huge Cappuccino, and then there he was. As gorgeous
as ever. She tried to call out to him, tried to warn him, but she couldn’t. She wanted to run to him and defend him, but her legs refused to move any faster then the walking pace they were going at already. She saw her this time swoop in as if in slow motion
She knew what was coming but called out his name none the less when Drusilla plunged the stake deep into his heart.
Buffy woke up screaming his name. And in a split second he was there, sitting beside her, holding her, loving her like only he could. And for a moment she let herself bask in his presence. He was whispering something to her. But she was weeping so hard she couldn’t quite make out the words. She just sat there in his arms feeling safe then realisation came crashing down to earth and she pulled away. “What’s the matter?” He asked her. My god she wanted to tell him the truth spill her gut out and tell him what was going to happen. How they would make love and he would loose his soul, how she would have to kill him only to have him return, then in a years time him tell her he is leaving and go to live in LA. But she couldn’t. Know was not the time so she just shrugged and curled back into her bed covers hoping he would go back to his makeshift bed on the floor but no such luck. He just sat there and looked at her with his big brown eyes. The eyes that over time she had learned not to look into because there lay the man she loved, and their love was to dangerous to ever be allowed to continue. As well as she knew this she didn’t have the will power to let him go. She loved him and she was going to stop the events that were going to happen. Because if she had to kill him again she would surely kill herself as well. After about ten minutes sleep overcame her and she fell once again into peaceful slumber. So Angel returned to his bed and to fell back to sleep.
Tuesday, April 29th, Buffy’s Birthday
“Wake up Buffy, It’s your birthday” she heard Willow shriek at her. When Buffy didn’t move Willow called for Angel. “I think we need a little Angel type persuasion to get the birthday girl out of bed!” Willow said smirking at him. But Buffy didn’t give him time to get any nearer to him on the mention of his name she was up and out of bed as quick as she possibly could be. There was no way he was coming close enough to her to do ‘anything’ today. ‘But maybe a good morning kiss wouldn’t hurt’ she thought and reached up and kissed him lightly. Willow beamed. She loved seeing them like this. Looking like a normal couple, looking like the weight of the world didn’t rest on their shoulders. “Willow it’s eight ‘o’ Clock why didn’t my mom come in and wake me up?” She asked Willow. Willow blushed a little and then took a deep breath. “Well we kinda froze all the other reality if you like so that you can enjoy your birthday with your friends without worrying about jeopardising your identity” she gave Buffy a weak smile. Buffy ran into her ‘parents room’ sure enough her mom was standing there dressed and just opening the curtains, but she was completely frozen. “Wow! That’s realy..Neat and everything Will but won’t they notice the change in time?” Willow beamed obviously pleased. “Nope you can take as long as you like and it won’t get dark or anything!” She said looking obviously pleased with herself. Buffy smiled at her friend lovingly and went down to breakfast.
