*What ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage?
Created you a monster; broken by the rule of love....
And fate has led you through it. You do what you have to do.
Oh, and fate has led you through it... You do what you have to do....
But I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go....*




The flame scorched her skin, but she couldn't let go.

Not now.

If this was his destiny, then it was hers as well.

Because she couldn't let him go.

"BUFFY!"

She didn't hear Faith scream her name, she didn't see the cavern walls shake, and she didn't feel the rocks hitting her as they fell.

Because all she could see was him. The man in front of her, the man she had denied for so long, the man she had broken.

The man she loved.

"Buffy. You have to go, love."

Her eyes were wide as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I can't."

He shuddered as heat singed his skin.

"You have to-" They were jarred as a boulder fell by their feet. "-Buffy, you have to go now!"

She slowly shook her head and he squeezed her hand.

"Why?"

Her lips trembled and her breathing was erratic. but her eyes never left his.

"Because I love you."

The smile that crossed his face out shined the light surrounding him.

"Then you have to go."

She shook her head and gripped his hand.

"I can't-"

"For me." His eyes twinkled with the light of his soul. "Live for me, Buffy."

Her face crumbled as she nodded her head, unlacing their flaming fingers.

"What if I don't know how?"

A smile crossed his face and he gave her a wink.

"You will. You're my girl."

She smiled and nodded her head.

"Yeah." Tears made there way down her face when he smiled. "I'm your girl."

The ground at her feet began crumble and she sobbed as she stepped away from him.

"I love you, Spike."

He smiled at her and gave a joyful laugh as he nodded his head.

"I love you, Buffy."

She forced herself to turn away and ran up the stairs, the sound of his laughter ringing in her ears.
