Part Two
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy did not go directly home. She should, she knew, but she needed some more time to herself. She went to the playground and sat on a swing. She wrapped her arms around the chains and gently swayed back and forth. She didn't know what possessed her to come here.
The playground. A wave of sadness hit her like a truck. This was a vampire's favorite breeding. To fee on the innocent was a great accomplishment to the undead. Buffy hated them so much for that. No conscience, no rules. Why was their world so free? Because of their lack of morality, they lived without grief. The mortal world always was drenched with grief. Vampires got a sadistic satisfaction from suffering. Buffy couldn't stand it. Because that was how she was feeling now.
Tears were rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She felt incredible hopelessness. She had never felt like this before. The worst part was there was never anything that would make this lack of hope dissipate.
"Tears for the dead?" she heard a voice call out. Buffy stood up quickly and looked around her. It was a woman's voice. It was the voice of a woman gone mad. It was Druscilla. But she was nowhere in sight. This puzzled Buffy greatly. "Why cry? The dead are just sleeping...shhh...." Buffy felt a gust of wind knock her off her feet. She was on her back. Her head hurt so much... "You love him, do you not? Angel has always had an irresistible nature. Even my mother could not resist his seduction...." Buffy felt like someone was hypnotizing her. Her eyes shut slowly. "Of course, my mother was brutally murdered..."
Buffy felt the voice travel away from her. Her eyes fluttered open and she found herself staring at a sky with so many stars. It was so beautiful. They each seemed to wink at her, wanting her to go to them. Go to the stars.
She stood up and looked around. Everything seemed darker all of a sudden. She felt the world spinning. She had no help to get home. She would have to get there on her own. She slowly planted one foot in front of another and found herself taking steps forward. She found herself walking home.
