Willow's P.O.V.
The days dragged on, each one seemingly more painful and tearful. I heard Giles lose his temper at Dawn, he was usually so calm. Tempers ran high. When I woke up one night, wanting to ask Tara to get me aspirin, I heard Buffy talking to Giles.
"Giles. I can't watch this go on. I can't watch her die. We need to find a cure." she seemed to be pleading with him.
"We've tried Buffy. There is no known cure. Everybody, except Tara, that has seen Kartan has died. The only known people to have survived, committed suicide, drove themselves mad, or died soon after their attack. There is a very slim chance, you know that Buffy." he reasoned with her. I felt a brick drop in my stomach.
"Yeah, I do. But I don't care. Willow is strong, she's seen things that most of us have only dreamed of. We can't give up on her now." her voice broke.
"You heard Giles, I'll die anyway." I had gotten up and hobbled out the room.
"Willow! I didn't mean for you to hear that." she apologized.
"I was gonna hear it sooner or later." Buffy hugged me, I winced as her hands touched the scars on my back.
"Lets go downstairs, maybe have a cup of tea." Giles took my arm and led me slowly down the steps. Once downstairs, We sat on the couch and drank tea.
"7 years." Buffy sighed.
"I've know you for 7 years." I nodded.
"Don't say it like thats gonna end soon, I'll always me your friend, sister." I squeezed her knee. I suddenly felt light headed.
"I'm gonna go outside, I don't feel well." I stumbled out to the porch. As soon as I made it down the steps I blacked out.
