Where are you? He smiles at Buffy she smiles back sadly. His smile fades. He changes from Spike to Angel one last time and then dies as Angel. Buffy cries. Where are you? Cut to Giles’ body leant against the wall. Cut to Andrew lying with his eyes open across a chair. Cut to Chris lying on the ground with blood trickling from his mouth. Cut to Dawn’s body with blood streaming down her. Cut to Xander’s lying flat on his face in a pool of blood next to the barbecue. Cut to Siobhan lying in a broken position, with her eyes emptily looking upwards. Cut to Kennedy lying, blood streaming from the wound in her head and flowing into the tide. Cut to Willow lying on the ground next to Kennedy with blood pouring from her neck. “Silence” ends. Slow motion does to. Sound can be heard again. Buffy is weeping over Spike. A figure appears next to her. She looks up with tears streaming down her face. Buffy: Why? The man is stood there. Man: To show you. You can never live a normal life. You think that you can be happy with these people? Never. Buffy: I can I- Man: As long as evil remains, you will never be able to rest. These girls are not going to stop. The camera shows the Rogue Slayers frozen. Man: You are doomed Buffy Summers. As are all that follow you. Buffy stands up slowly. She stares at the man. Buffy: I may not be able to live a normal life. But I’m not gonna stop living. She punches the man in the face. He falls back and changes into the larger demon from before. The beach scene fades and Buffy and the larger demon are back in the dream world. Larger demon: You’ll die. Buffy: Been there. Done that. Twice. And here I am now. Funny how much that really doesn’t stop me. Larger demon: You can’t- Buffy: Can’t what? Can’t fight you. You’re nothing. You’re a dream. Trying to stop me. Well you know what? Don’t. Because I’m not gonna stop even if it kills me. She walks up to the demon and punches her fist through his face. He screams and the world fades. Cut back to the kitchen in the Summers’ house. Everyone can move again. They all look around uncertainly. Dawn: (softly) Wow… THE END - Top
