Disclaimer: I own nothing except my own twisted mind. Joss Whedon owns all things Buffy. I do not own Highlander, either. Or Highlander: The Raven.
Authors Notes: This takes place after "Ted". So Xander and Cordelia are together, Angel never lost his soul, and Kendra is still ticking. Faith has been activated. Angel has already given Buffy the claddagh ring.

Prologue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy and the Slayerettes were fighting and evil sorcerer in the Crestville Cemetary. This particular sorcerer happened to be undead, and commanded around fifty vampires. Buffy and the others were losing badly.
The Slayerettes were crowded together on top of a mausoleum. Buffy and Angel were fighting back to back, with vampires surrounding them on all sides. The sorcerer was floating in mid-air, watching all of this. His face was contorted in an evil grin as he watched the fight.
"I can't take this much longer, Angel!" Buffy shouted to the vampire at her back. He staked another vampire and replied "There can't be many more. We have to keep fighting!"
Finally the vampires were dust. A seriously out of breath Slayer, and a rather beaten-up vampire with a soul faced the sorcerer.
"The jigs up, Ungasta!" shouted Buffy. She waved a stake in his direction. "I've got a stake with your name on it!"
The sorcerer flew at her. Buffy jumped out of the way, punching him as he went past. Unfortunately, she failed to notice the jagged knife he produced out of no where.
Buffy fell to her knees in the grass, holding onto her stomach. She heard Angel's scream, and the sorcerer's laugh. With all the strength she had, she flew at him, and buried the stake in his chest.
As he turned to dust, she crumpled. Angel caught her, and she was aware of the others running towards her. She saw Angel's face over her's.
"Angel..." she gasped.
"Buffy, hold on! Come on don't give up!" said Angel as he fought to staunch the bleeding. Buffy shook her head. "I can't. Angel... I love... you.."
As Buffy fell towards darkness, she was aware of Angel's cry of "No!" and Giles screaming in Latin. The last thing she saw was a face framed by black hair, with black lipstick on.
The world fell away.
