“Oh my god.” Cordelia whispered. Her eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth.
Giles’ face was drained of any blood and he stared off into space. Angel’s face was blank and he had tears in his eyes. Xander who stood by Cordelia kept whispering “No.” over and over again as if he were having a nervous breakdown, and if you looked at the situation he probably was.
Willow was sobbing on the floor with Oz holding her protectively.
The group stayed like this for a while until Giles seemed to realize where he was. “Oz would you take everyone home?” he said in a very clam voice.
Oz cleared his throat. “Of course.”
He nodded to everyone and Willow bit her lip and looked at him. He went over to her and hugged her. “Giles…” she started.
“Shh.” Giles said and let go and looked over at Oz. “Stay with her for a while.” He told the teenager and Oz nodded.
Xander glanced back at Angel and Giles as he walked out of the alleyway and past the truck that was on fire. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with terror and grief. He was about to say something when he walked away and helped Oz get Willow past the truck.
Giles took a deep breath and regained what was left of his composure. He turned to Angel. “I’m Sorry.” Was all Giles could say and he went to his car and drove away.
Somewhere Up there
“Buffy!” A voice called and Buffy turned.
“Kendra?” Buffy asked looking around at all the whiteness, she then saw the former slayer in the same clothes she died in.
“Oh God Kendra, I’m dead aren’t I?” Buffy asked.
Kendra nodded. She walked over and hugged Buffy, an act that surprised Buffy. Kendra noticed this and shrugged. “Being dead softens you up.”
Buffy tried to smile but it faltered. She took a look around. “This is the Ghost roads.” She said and looked at Kendra.
Kendra gave her a sad look. “Slayers are lost souls, not many slayers make it to a final destination.”
“So this is it?” Buffy asked.
“Sometimes.” Kendra said.
“What do you mean sometimes?” Buffy asked.
“The Powers that Be, they’re not done with you yet.”
Back in Sunnydale
The car ride to Cordelia’s was silent as ever. Cordelia kept staring at Xander as if to make sure he was really there. Oz drove silently but kept glancing at Willow, who every once and a while would let out a sob. Oz took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, he was starting to panic. What would happen next? But before he could think about that he had to focus on getting Willow home and keeping her safe. So he drove Cordelia home and then made his way to Xander’s.
At first Xander was reluctant to get out of the van. He got out and hugged Willow, which only made her cry harder and then tried to calm Willow down. After he left he was left alone with the girl he loved and he felt a relief sweep over him.
He drove; once again the drive was silent, to Willow’s house. He got her out of the van and got her inside. Her parent’s weren’t home which he was grateful for.
Oz let her get changed into her pajamas and waited outside her door. When she opened it she had puffy eyes and she looked so weak and sad. He hugged her and she started crying again.
He helped her to bed and she fell asleep but woke up in the middle of the night screaming and then crying. “Oz?”
“Yes?” He said as he stroked her hair.
“She’s really gone isn’t she?”
Giles drove home his body was numb. When he got home he went straight to bed. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and never wake up. It seemed like a good idea and maybe if he just went to bed, he would wake up and this would all be a dream. Yes, he would wake up and Buffy and him and everyone else would figure out whom they encountered last night, or no it was best to leave that part out. Buffy would call him tomorrow and tell him how last night’s patrol went and he would let her have the night off to go with her friends. He sighed, yes that’s what will happen. He fell asleep then, sleeping without any dream or without any he could remember only to be woken up by the harsh sound of the phone ringing.
He almost thought that it was Buffy calling but put the idea aside and answered the phone.
“Hello?” he answered with a muffled voice.
“Mr. Giles? It’s Joyce. Do you know where Buffy is?”
