No Hesitation
Buffy leaned her head against the window and looked out at the sky. With the Council’s small plane surrounded by air, it was almost peaceful. The clouds appeared to stretch forever and made the world below seem softer somehow.
She looked around the cabin to see her teammates were all asleep. It was just her, the sound of the engines, and the endless sky. This was the calmest she had felt since she had detected the vamps in that alley, and yet there was still an uneasiness deep inside her. It was hard to believe that only seven hours had passed since then. To her it felt like a lifetime.
The tiny slayer looked forward to returning to the comfort of her own home. Yet, at the same time, she was dreading it. When they arrived she had to begin the search for Angelus. This time there could be no hesitation. There was no chance of saving him again at the last minute. It was over. Her first love was dead, and now she had to kill his body.
Willow had offered to come and help or to have a few slayers sent to Colorado Springs, but Buffy had declined. This was something she had to do alone. This was her demon to put to rest.
She only wished her teammates were taking this a little better. True, they were probably still processing all of the information, but it still hurt. She only hoped this wouldn’t drive too big of a wedge between them. If it did, she’d have to transfer to another team and she didn’t want that.
Even though they were hurting her with their silence, accusing stares, and occasional outbursts, she still cared for them. Trusted them even.

on 2006-03-24 07:40 am (UTC)I like the description of the clouds and that she's determined to take of him herself. Also that, while she more or less understands her team's reactions, she's still hurt by them, at least enough to admit it to herself.
