I don't own the characters, don't sue me please.
I also don't own the song "She Said" by Collective Soul. I am just using the characters and the song and promise not to damage them in anyway.
{Warning} This story happens a few months after a fictional event. Several of the characters are dead,(sorry. I love all the characters, even Cordelia)
"Life's rivers shall rise,
she said
and only the....strong shall survive,
she said
but I'm feeling quite weak,
and she said
would you comfort and forgive me?
Chorus from "She Said" by Collective Soul
Buffy kicked hard at the practise dummy, obviously angered. When she finished, Giles, her Watcher, clicked the stop-watch that he was holding.
Those round-houses looked a little stiff." the middle aged British man said.
Well, I'd like to see you do perfect ones when you have somthing ELSE on your mind!" Buffy said with her hands on her hips.
Oh, um you have me on that one," Giles said, knowing what she was thinking about, "Why don't we call it a day, shall we?"
Thanks Giles. Bye." Buffy picked up her duffel bag and walked out of the library.
Giles just watched her leave, with a worried expression on his face. It had been three months since she had made that fatal mistake, and went out on a hunt that led to a trap. She had been stupid and let her guard down.
"But I'm feeling quite weak
and she said"
She had lost all of her friends because of one mistake, but she was the Slayer, and mistakes were no option. When she thought of Xander and Willow, and how they had died clutching each other, it made her want to weep, but she had done to much of that. She felt like kicking and screaming at the stars and telling them how unfair it was.
"And only the....strong shall survive
and she said"
Then her thughts turned to Angel. Angel, remembering his face and the way he looked at her, always brought tears to her eyes. He was once a beautiful, knid man, but Drusilla had cast a spell on him that could not be broken. The spell had brought the demon out of Angel's soul where it had been trapped for years. When she had looked into those eyes and seen the demon looking back at her she knew she had to kill him. The Angel she had known would have wanted it to be that way. He would have wanted it to be her. She had put a stake through her true love's heart. She had died when he had turned to dust.
" Life's rivers shall rise and she said"
As she walked home she thought over the last year and thought about all the memories she had of her friends. Xander and the praying mantis lady, Willow and the Eskimo outfit, and Angel. Those were the thoughts that tore her heart out. Xander and Willow were dear to her, but they had died by another's hands. She had killed Angel.
Buffy went into her room and took off her make-up and put on her pajamas. As she laid down to sleep, she sighed and prayed that Xander, Willow, and Agel were all in places where they were safe and happy. Buffy's last thought was, Please God, let them be happy.
"Would you comfort and forgive me?
...forgive me...she said"

Did you like it? I hoped it wasn't too stupid. Please give me feedback. I'd really appreciate it. Oh, yeah and I can't spell. :)
