Chapter 8
Willow was holding the rag to Buffy's forehead and taking her temperature at the same time.
Tara had gone to get a bucket of ice from the kitchen. Giles had just gone out to get Xander and Anya but he came in almost as soon as he went out.
He was holding a letter of some sort in his hand, and In the other he held a small vial that had came with the letter.
"What's that?" Willow asked finding Buffy's temperature was 98.6 degrees.
Giles didn't answer in words he just handed the letter to Willow and looked at the vial closely.
Dear Slayers friends,
Hello me and Dru here. Just thought you guys wanted to play a little game. Guess what it's called. No guess' I am shocked. Its called Take a Chance. You see me and Dru here gave you the cure to the poison. Only when we put it in the vial we may have put in another poison. You know us the attention span of a rodent. But here it is you have five hours before the slayer dies so either you find the cure yourself. Or you take a chance and give the slayer the contents of the vial. Your choice have fun, and remember tick, tock, tick, tock.
P.S. You may want to know we gave it to her at eight.
Willow screamed in rage and threw the letter down. She looked up at the clock and saw that it was midnight. One hour she told herself.
Tara came back and saw the letter on the table.
After she read it she looked at Willow her face pale, "That means we have one hour."
Willow giggled slightly at that but quickly set a straight face again, "Giles call Xander and Anya tell them to get over here. Quickly," She added as he ran to his phone.
Thirty minutes later and Xander, and Anya came through the door.
"Okay Giles this better be good," Xander joked but his face fell when he saw Buffy on the couch.
She was pale now to pale for Willow's liking. Her eyes never opened anymore The only sign she was alive was the gasps of air she took.
Willow set right into it and told them about Spike and Dru's letter.
It took ten minutes or them to explain it to Anya and Xander.
"So why don't we give her the cure," Xander said starting to pace.
They argued for another ten minutes. Still not coming to a conclusion.
Five minutes nothing.
Two minutes nothing.
Two minutes nothing.
Willow finally became desperate and pulled out the syringe they had put on the coffee table. They had already filled it so Willow quickly took it before anyone could stop her.
She ran over to Buffy and injected it quickly into her arm.
Buffy's eyes shot open, "Will," she said her voice almost a whisper.
"Buffy please don't leave not now. Not now." Willow begged crying tears over Buffy's body.
"Sorry," Buffy said and with the last of her strength pulled her head up and kissed Willow.
The kiss lasted forever to Willow but not long enough. Buffy's head fell back down as she took in her last breath of air from Willow's mouth.
