Part 7

Buffy returned back to reality, crying.  She could see Willow's body.  While there were no stab wounds, Willow wasn't breathing, and she had no pulse.

Willow had sacrificed herself for Buffy.

That caused Buffy to cry harder.

Giles put his arm around Buffy.  "She's with Xander now," he whispered, trying to comfort her.  Buffy stopped crying, and faced the others.

"Let's find Druscilla.  Angel, do you have any idea where she'd be?"  Angel nodded.  "fine.  You and me are going.  The rest of you, stay here, and do not go to sleep, under ANY circumstances," Buffy warned.  They nodded, and Buffy and Angel were off.

"Buffy, I'm really sorry about- everything," Angel started.

"Angel, I've just lost three friends.  I am really not in the mood for one of our angsty conversations, which always end up bad.  Just drive," Buffy ordered.  Angel nodded, and drove to this place he knew Druscilla liked.

"What a way to spend Christmas Eve," Buffy muttered. Angel smirked, but did not answer.  They drove in silence.

"So, where is this place Druscilla's at?  How long will it take to get there?" Buffy asked.

"It's in Wyoming, and should take about a day," Angel answered.  "Probably less."  Buffy groaned.

"Now would be a good time for a cappuchino," she said.

"No time," Angel answered.

"Then motor," Buffy replied.
