Part Two

Buffy finally left Willow to get help. Willow gasped as air shoved down her lungs, she looked around confused.

"Oh god, where's Buffy, they're all gonna think I'm dead!" Willow exclaimed as she got up and shivered as she saw the blood covering her chest.

"I should be dead!" Willow exclaimed as she examined her wound.

"You were dead, but now you live." A stranger said as he came from out of the shadows, he was tall dark and handsome with long black hair tied up.

"How?" Willow remarked still shocked.

"Your immortal." Duncan said simply.

2000

Willow leaned into Duncan. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't of found me." Willow said sadly.

"Shh, your alive, don't dwell on the past, no matter how much it hurts." Duncan said soothingly.

"I wish I could." Willow said sullenly.

1956

Willow watched over Buffy for the next few days after her death, it was the night before she was leaving town that she peered in on Buffy in her room.

Willow was frightened at the look on Buffy's face, her eyes were wide with tears, she stared in her mirror and picked up a razor.

"Love is forever." Buffy said passionately as she fulfilled her promise to Angel and brought the razor down on her wrists, quickly, one by one. Willow couldn't hold back anymore she ran into the room crying at Buffy's side, she couldn't keep her eyes off of Buffy.

"Willow? You've come to take me to Angel." Buffy murmured, a smile on her face as she went limp. Willow cried for hours until she heard Joyce knocking on Buffy's door. Willow fled the room crying and went home into the arms if Duncan.

40 years she stayed in Sunnydale, visiting Buffy and Angel's combined grave, every night lilacs were placed, their sweet scent filling the graveyard. The night after the anniversary, she visited the graves one last time before she was leaving for France. Willow sat cross-legged in front of the grave.

"Hey guys, I'm moving away tomorrow morning, it's gonna be a while until I see you again. I found your rings, I searched for them for forty years, I knew you would have wanted it this way, I hope you'll be happy." Willow said as she shed one final tear, she placed two rings on the tombstone, then started to walk away.

Two figures materialized in front of the grave. One a tall dark handsome Angel, the other a petite blonde Buffy.

Angel walked over to the grave and picked up a ring, Buffy did the same. They walked over to each other.

"Finally." Angel whispered as he placed the ring on her finger, the heart pointing towards her.

"Finally." Buffy repeated as she put the ring on his finger, heart pointing towards him.

"Our love is forever." They said in unity. The two lovers met in a passionate embrace, one that lasted an eternity, they both turned to light and then were gone.

Willow smiled, turned and walked away, knowing they were finally at peace.
