^^^^

"She's killed again."

"W-What?" Buffy asked Giles, stuttering.

"Faith killed another young woman last night. Willow's spell effected her,
Buffy, she's completely insane." The watcher said gravely.

"Another? She - "

"What are we going to do, Buffy?" Willow questioned, fear obvious in her
tone as she looked on at the slayer for an answer.

Buffy was struck with disbelief. She opened her mouth to reply, but closed
it again due to lack of a plan.

"You should go home and rest for now Buffy. You're obvoiusly tired. You can
search for Faith later tonight, as it seems her pattern is only to strike at
night." He explaned.

The blond nodded, her brow still furrowed, trying to understand. 'Faith is
still in Sunnydale. Willow must have done a body-switching spell and it
turned Faith insane. But when she did it with Tara - Oh God, it's my fault,
if Tara were here...'

Her thoughts were interrupted by the redhead tugging on her hand, "Come on
Buffy, lets go home."

^^^^

As Buffy and Willow walked down the street heading for the University, Faith
suddenly jumped out of a doorway, stopping them dead in their tracks.

"Buffy." Faith growled.

"Buffy!" Willow tightened her grip on the slayer's arm.

"Faith." She turned to the witch briefly, "Stay behind me."

Willow stepped behind Buffy, peering over her shoulder. Buffy spread her
feet, ready for an attack.

The dark slayer only laughed, "I'm not going to hurt you, B." She pulled out
a large knife, "But on the other hand, maybe I will!" She lunged forwards.

Buffy skillfully jumped aside and landed on her side taking Willow down with
her, "Don't move." She told the redhead and planted a tiny kiss on her cheek
before getting up and facing Faith.

"Still with the bitch then, B?"

"Don't ever call her that!"

"Why not, B? I mean, I loved you, but you didn't want me, did you?" She held
up the knife, "But she's different, is she?!"

"I love her. I could never love a murderer."

The brunette slayer dived forward again, but this time she landed a punch to
Buffy's jaw. Buffy punched her back, but Faith kicked the blond hard in the
middle of her stomach, which caused her to fall to her knees.

Faith darted behind her and drove the knife into Willow's chest just as
Buffy turned around.

"No!" Faith had gone, the devistated slayer crawled to her lover, "Will! No!
Oh God no!" She held her hand over the bleeding wound as the small redhead
stared into Buffy's tear-filled eyes.

"B-Buffy?" She breathed, "I love you..." Her whole body went limp in the
blond's shaking arms.

"Will? Willow? No, please, I love you!" She leaned close and kissed her lips
so softly, "I wish I never made that stupid wish..." She hugged Willow's
body whilst she cried shamelessly over the loss of her love.

^^^^

"Willow..." Buffy cried, her eyes shut tight.

A familliar voice broke the silence in the slayer's head.

"Buff?"

Buffy looked up to see Xander in front of her. Willow was no longer in her
arms.

"Where is she? ...Xander? W-Where - " Buffy stuttered through her tears.

"Buffy, where's who? Will? She's at Taras', why? What happened?" He was
concerned and confused.

"Tara?" It suddnely dawned on the slayer. The wish was taken back.
Everything was normal again. Willow was alive! But she wasn't in love with
her...

^^^^

End.
