?She died today. Again. But this time she didn?t get up. I couldn?t do 
anything. She just lay so still, but there was this aura, this power coming 
off her. Like she was holding on for all she was worth. I?m in shock. At 
least I think I am. I screamed once, just as she fell. But then I just felt 
this anger come over me and I killed them. Every one of those dirty, evil 
hell spawn. I killed all of them. They had hurt my Slayer, my Buffy. I?m 
crying now, and I don?t know if I will ever stop. I?m sitting next to her 
body. Just expecting her to jump up and be back to normal. But she won?t, so 
I wonder. When will the next one arrive? I don?t think I?ll be here then, I 
think I?ll be dead. How could she be dead? I can hear myself screaming 
again, but I can?t stop writing. I almost have to get this all down, so they 
know what happened. Giles, Xander, Angel. They really deserve to know. Why 
is she gone? After all we?ve been through together. All the fighting, all 
the things we?ve seen. How could she just die? I look at her, and still I 
don?t believe it. I wonder?.?

Willow drops her pen and walks over to the Slayer?s body. During that short 
walk she thinks over everything that happened. While walking home after a 
late research session at the Magic Box they had been set upon by a pack of 
demons. They weren?t too sure which but there also wasn?t a whole lot of 
time to think. With only four demons the Slayer and the Wicca thought they?d 
have no trouble. But when the demons started to withdraw they followed. Yeah 
it was a trap but nothing they couldn?t handle together. But then they got 
onto the demons turf the tables turned. Instead of four piddly demons there 
were fifteen. After fighting hard for a good half-hour it looked like they 
were winning. But in one brief lapse Buffy got caught between two charging 
demons. Buffy was nearly torn in two. If she hadn?t been the Slayer she 
would have been. As it was they just snapped her spine. That one will kill 
even a Slayer. It was sickening snapping sound that made Willow turn and 
look, just as Buffy fell to the cold hard floor of the crypt.

Willow was frantically calling up every spell she could remember. Anything 
that would help her bring back the Slayer. Bring back that beautiful smile 
and those wise, old eyes.

?I love you too much to let you just die on my Buffy Anne Summers!? and with 
that thought Willow stopped dead. ?I love her. Oh goddess, I love her. 
Please, she?s too important, to the fight, to me?

Falling on her knees beside the still body of her best friend, Willow kept 
chanting over again. ?I love her too much?She?s too important?I love her too 
much?? Lying her hands over Buffy?s body Willow concentrated everything that 
she was and every ounce of her being into Buffy. Still chanting as she felt 
the power that she hardly knew she held rise with in her. She was 
concentrating so hard that she didn?t even notice when they started to rise 
above the floor. Willow didn?t know how long they floated there, seconds, 
hours or days, but when they finally fell to the floor she felt a movement 
beneath her hands where they had fallen on Buffy?s chest. Forcing her eyes 
open, Willow saw Buffy breath.
