The Grave Is Empty
As Willow opened her eyes to the warm sunlight streaming though her windows she could sense something was different, but as soon as she looked at the clock on her bed stand the feeling passed when she realised she was late for school. Willow jumped out of bed and ran around trying to get dressed to get to class.
When Willow went down stairs she realised that no one was home and she felt somewhat out of the loop. When she finally got to school she went straight to her class and did not even notice the blond haired girl spying on her from around the comer.
As the girl watch her red haired beauty walk to class, she felt a presence standing behind her. As she turned around she found herself looking into the face of the girl who brought her back, “So does she look good or what?” “W-why did you do this to me?” “All questions will be answered in good time, now lets go before some one spots you.”
As Buffy was walking across the ground of UC Sunnydale looking for Willow she spotted a blond girl in deep conversation with a brunette taller girl, and as she watched the two girls walk and talk she noticed something familiar about the blond wow that girl sort of looks like Tara, hang on …just as she was about to finish that thought she saw Willow coming out of class. As she run to catch up to her she forgot all about the girl that had her all preoccupied a few minuets before. As she got closer to her destination she said, “Hey Will, I have been looking for you all over the campus.” “Why? So you can yell at me again and why we are on the topic how come you did not wake me up this morning like always?”
“Sorry Will I forgot you had school today, besides didn’t you set the alarm.” “Oh, I sort of forgot in the heat of the moment.” “Does not matter, look I came here to talk to you about business.” “Sure what’s up, did you want to go some were more private.”
“Sure lets go to the house.” As they walked home, they started to talk about the fight they has the night before.
When they got home they sat down in the kitchen and waited for Xander and Anya to arrive. “So what’s up Buff.” Said Xander as he and Anya walked though the door.
“Not much really, it is just that earlier last night as I was patrolling I sensed danger but not in the normal way. Then later that night it happened again just as I was getting ready for bed, excepted that this time it was a hell of a lot stronger.” As Willow sat there listening to Buffy talk she suddenly remembered what happened the night before, “Oh, oh I had the same thing.” “What do you mean Will?” asked Buffy.
“Well, I was just falling asleep when all of a sudden I was woken up like a jolt of electricity was shotting though my whole body, it was stronger than anything I ever felt before.” As the other three friends sat there and listen to Willow talk Buffy started to form an idea. “ Look guys I think that maybe me and Willow should go protrolling considering we can both feel this impending danger, and Xander, Anya and Dawn can do some research and try to find out anything.” “But Buff we don’t even know what we a looking for.” “Just do this for me Xander.” “Fine, Fine if that is what you want I’m research guy.”
As Buffy and Willow hit the streets, they both started to look around to see if they could sense the danger. As they started to get close to Restfild Cemetery the evil vibe grew stronger and stronger, “I guess we are going inside.” Buffy said as she looked at her red headed friend, “I guess we are, But I wish we wouldn’t.” “Me to Will, but it is all in the line of duty.” The two girls slowly walked though the gates into the cemetery unaware of the danger that was waiting for them on the other side.
As they walked though the pitch-dark cemetery a dark shadow crossed Buffy field of visions, Buffy fell into her usual fighting stance as Willow took a few steps back as not to get in Buffy’s way. Buffy tried to make her eyes adjust to the light so she could see her assailant, “Will get back.” “No need to tell me twice.”
Buffy’s eyes finally let her get a good view of her enemy and she realised that she was just facing off a run of the mill vampire, “Well I don’t believe it.” “What, what is it Buffy.” “It is a little bitty vampire.”
The vampire got impatient waiting for Buffy to make the first move so it decided to make it first. Buffy realised what the vampire was doing so she leaped at it as he leaped at her, and both bodies collided when they meet in the middle. Buffy got up just as the vampire was up and ready to give Buffy a kick to the face, as the two forte and the vampire got the upper hand, all Willow could do was stand by helplessly and watch as her friend got the shit kicked out of her.
The vampire picked Buffy up and through her halfway across the graveyard and turned to look at Willow and ran. When Buffy landed she landed in something relatively soft instead of the hard compact ground. Willow quickly turned on her flashlight to find where Buffy had landed, when she found her, Buffy was lying in an open coffin. Buffy started to climb out as Willow started to scan the tombstone with the flashlight to find out who used to lay here, as she got to the name her face lit up with horror “What’s wrong Will.” Buffy said to her red headed friend as she saw Willow turn white. Willow knew Buffy had asked her a question but could not find the word to answer, all of a sudden she could feel the ground slip away from her and every thing went black. Buffy quickly scrambled out of the grave to be by her friends side “Willow are you alright? Will can you hear me? It’s Buffy.”
Buffy grabbed the flashlight Willow was still holding and flashed the tombstone that had made her friend faint, when Buffy read the name all she could say was “Oh my God.”
The flashlight fell from Buffy’s hand and settled on the tombstone that read TARA MACLAY.
