The bronze fills with chaos as the attack begins. Xander strikes violently at Buffy, hitting her across the face. She stumbles back a bit and quickly grabs the stake from out of her backpack on the floor. She stands in a ready position as she lifts the stake up. Xander laughs as he watches Buffy with the stake, "What are you going to do, kill your best friend?"

Buffy looks at him sternly, "My best friend died months ago." She then does a jump kick as she knocks him in the stomach. While Oz fights with a vampire, struggling to push him off of him. Amy quickly runs to his aid as she shoves the stake into the vampire from behind, causing him to burst into a cloud of dust. "Thanks." Oz replies as he tries to catch his breath.

The fighting continues as Angel helps fight off a vampire, helping protect Jenny from a vampire attack.

Buffy is backhanded by Xander and is knocked against the wall from the force. "You aren't giving up already are you Buff?" Xander smiles.

"I've only begun to fight." Buffy replies as she jumps to her feet and continues the fight by punching Xander across the face repeatedly.

Kendra at that time enters the bronze; she pulls out her stake as she sees the chaos unfolding. She then quickly makes her way to the first vampire she sees and stakes him with one quick stabbing motion.

"Amy" Cordelia calls out. Amy turns to see Cordelia across the room, she quickly runs to her in the middle of the chaos. "Where have you been?" Amy asks with concern.

"They have kept me trapped here, we have to get out of here."

Amy then turns to see Buffy struggling with Xander. "We've got to help Buffy first."

While Amy has her back turned to her Cordelia puts on her game face and replies, "Oh, don't worry about her."

"Huh?" Amy then turns to face Cordelia.

She then quickly bites down on Amy's neck. She lets out a scream as a sharp pain moves throughout her.

Oz turns to see Amy being attacked; he pulls out his stake from his pocket, and makes his way through the crowd to aid Amy. But before he can reach her, Spike sneaks up behind him and twists his head. Breaking his neck with a clean snap. Spike smiles as Oz's body falls limply to the ground. Spotting the stake next to his body, he picks it up and carries it with him.

One of the vampires grabs a hold of Giles by the collar of his tweed jacket and throws him across the room, causing him to land on one of the pool tables. "Giles!" Jenny yells out in panic as she watches him hit the pool table hard. The vampire then lunges at him, Giles quickly pick up the pool stick off the table and holds it out in front of him just as the vampire lunges at him, causing him to burst into a cloud of dust. Jenny quickly runs to his side and hugs him. "I'm so glad you're okay."

Buffy, unaware of her friend's death, struggles as Xander now has her pinned to the floor. "This is where we part Buff." Xander smiles as he moves in to bite her neck, Buffy then quickly head butts him, giving her a chance to stand up as Xander stumbled back in pain. "Your right Xander, this is where we part." She then lifts up her stake and is prepared to thrust it into him, but hesitates.

"I knew you couldn't do it." Xander laughs as he still tries to rub away the pain from his head.

She then lowers the stake to the side as she looks helplessly at Xander. "I'm so sorry this had to happen to you Xander."

Xander looks at her, not able to respond.

"STAKE HIM BUFFY!" Kendra yells out from across the room as she continues her fight with a vampire.

Buffy wanted to hug him so badly; she has missed him so much. But she knew it wasn't really him and that her friend was really dead. Just then she feels a sharp pain just above her stomach. She looks down to see what she recognized as one of her stakes sticking out of her, just above her gut. She looks up at Xander, tears swelling up in her eyes as Spike steps out from behind her, "A slayer killed by one of her own stakes. Pure poetry if you ask me, looks like you lose, congratulations, you are now my 3rd kill on my list of slayers." He smiles as he walks away, making his way to Kendra, who is on the opposite side of the room.

Buffy then reaches down and yanks out the stake, she yells out in pain as she stumbles helplessly to the floor her wound begins to bleed freely. She covers the gushing wound with her hand as the blood stains her hands.

Xander merely looks at her for a couple of seconds, and then walks away.

Angel looks up from his fighting to see his love bleeding to death on the floor. "BUFFY!" Angel yells out as he pushes his way through the crowd. He finally manages to make it to her; he kneels down to her side and quickly takes off his jacket and lays it on top of her wound. "It's going to be okay Buffy, you are going to be okay." Angel's eyes flood with tears as he looks at her.

"I love you Angel," Buffy whimpers. The blood begins to seep through the jacket as it gushes endlessly out.

"YOU CANT DIE!" Angel says angrily,

The pain becomes unbearable as Buffy begins to see the room grow dark, in her last attempt she grabs Angel's hand and with her last bit of strength she squeezes it weakly. "I love you."

Things then become darker, darker and darker. The last image she sees is Angel's face.

"AWWWW!" Buffy screams as she sits up in her bed with a quick jerk. She quickly looks around her surroundings, realizing she is in her room. She then spots a shadowy figure at her bedroom window.

"Are you alright?" Angel asks with deep concern as he enters through the window.

"Yeah, fine." Buffy replies, still trying to catch her breath.

"That must have been some dream, sorry to wake you, I didn't think you would be asleep yet. What was your dream about?"

"I don't remember." Buffy rubs her eyes. "What brings you here?" Buffy asks as she gets out of her bed and slips on a jacket from her closet.

"I have some info on who has been doing all the killings, its….

"Luke." Buffy interrupts.

Angel looks at her surprised. "How did you know?"

"I don't know." Buffy says a bit confused.

"Well, I guess my work here is done. I recommend that you be careful, Luke is very powerful, he has been around for some time. And you don't live to be as old as him by being careless." Angel then disappears as he exits through the window.

Buffy slides out a trunk from beneath her bed and quickly opens it. She then shoves a few items in her purse, couple of stakes, holy water and a cross. She then makes her way out her window and lands on the ground with ease. She is surprised by a tap on the shoulder, she spins around to see Willow and Xander standing there. "What are you guys doing here?!" Buffy demands. "I though you were going to be at the bronze."

"We thought you could use some help." Willow mutters.

Buffy then puts her hand to her forehead.

"Are you okay buff?" Xander asks with concern.

"It's nothing. Just a bit of déjà vu. Okay, you guys can come, but yall have to be careful!" Buffy takes out a bottle of holy water and tosses it to Willow.

Xander nods smiling, "Already one step ahead of ya," he then points to his cross necklace.

Hours pass as the three patrol.

"Well, this sure was a bust." Xander says with disappointment.

"Yeah, I guess." Buffy says, still a bit confused by what is happening.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow Buffy. I better head home before my mom begins to worry."

Buffy looks up at Willow, trying to remember. Everything seems so familiar. As if she as played out this scene before. Before she can say anything Willow walks away and makes her way home. Xander looks at Buffy, "Hello… Earth to Buffy, ready to head home?"

Buffy's thoughts are interrupted, she looks up at Xander, "Um, yeah I guess."

Buffy and Xander make their way home, Buffy still tries to rack her brain as to why this feels so familiar. "Xander, does something about this feel familiar to you?"

Xander turns to her and looks at her with a weird expression, "What do you mean Buff?"

"I don't know, I just feel I am supposed to do something."

"Could that something be homework? You haven't done that in a while." Xander laughs.

"No it's not that, its just I had this dream, it seemed so important, but as soon as I woke up I couldn't remember it."

Buffy and Xander walk till they reach the front of Xander's house. "This is where we part Buff."

Buffy's eyes widen in horror by the statement. "What did you say?"

"I said, this is where we part." Xander repeats himself.

And in a flood of memories, Buffy's dream returns to her. She then realizes that is wasn't a dream at all, but a premonition! "We got to find willow!" Buffy says franticly as she begins to run back to the graveyard.

Xander quickly runs after her, still confused by what is going on. "Wait up Buffy." He calls out to her.

Buffy runs back to the graveyard just in time to see Luke attacking Willow, Xander is out of breath by the time he catches up with Buffy.

"Let her go Luke!" Buffy says sternly.

Willow squirms as Luke's grip tightens around her. "Slayer!" Luke says with a smile, baring his fangs. "I was hoping you would come."

"Oh god," Xander replies as he looks at poor terrified Willow.

"Give it up Luke! You don't have a chance." A voice says from beneath the shadows. Angel steps out closer. "The master is dead, killed by the slayer. What chance do you think you have if the master couldn't even defeat her." Luke's eyes widen with fear and shock as the harsh realization comes to him. He the lets go of Willow and pushes her angrily towards Xander. Causing her to bump into him, and have her and Xander both fall to the ground.

"If you are planning on remaining alive for much longer, I suggest you leave town." Angel snarls, as he puts his game face on.

Luke looks over at Buffy then back at Angel and growls angrily before walking off quickly, disappearing into the night.

"I don't think we will have to worry about him anymore." She smiles. "How did you know to find us here?" Buffy asks Angel.

I figured that something had to be up since you knew the killer was Luke before I even told you, I went back to your room to question you more about it, when I saw you weren't there I figured you would be here." He smiles, returning back to his normal features.

Buffy then turns her attention to Willow and Xander. "Are you guys okay?" Buffy asks with concern as she helps Xander and Willow to their feet.

"Yup, just fine and dandy." Xander says with a smile as he dusts the dirt off of his jeans. Before Willow and Xander can finish Buffy gives them both a big hug unexpectedly. Willow gives her a weird look while Xander replies, "Uh, we love you too Buff." Xander says sarcastically with a smile.

Buffy finally lets go and smiles at the two, a tear slides down her cheek. "I'm just so glad that you guys are okay, I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to you."

Angel stands next to Buffy, "are you sure your okay?"

"How bout we take a break from the whole slaying thing tonight and have some fun at the bronze." Xander suggests.

Buffy smiles in agreement. "You wont believe the dream I had," Buffy starts as they begin to walk towards the bronze. "Except, it wasn't a dream at all, it was a premonition."

"Really?" Willow says in amazement.

"It was so weird. Luke attacked Willow and made her a vampire. Then she went all psycho with jealousy and made Xander a vampire." Buffy continues.

Xander turns his head sharply and looks at Buffy. "I was a vampire?! Whoa, way too weird." Xander smirks.

"Good thing you were able to stop it before that could happen." Angel remarks.

"I always thought that if I was ever a vampire the first person I would want to kill would be Cordelia." Willow says jokingly with a smile.

The group reaches the outside of the bronze as Angel opens the door for them.

Luke watches from a distance. "You may have defeated the master, but you wont be able to kill me!" he growls. "You can't get rid of me that easily!" he says aloud to himself. Luke begins to walk closer to the bronze as he decides to make his move now, when he is suddenly attacked from behind. He falls down to the ground as the wolf thrashes at him. He yells out as he continues to be clawed at by the razor sharp claws as the full moon shines brightly in the nights sky.

Inside the bronze, Buffy turns around and looks behind her. "Did you hear something?"

"Nope." Xander said with a smile. "But with the loud music it is hard to hear anything."

"It was probably nothing. Buffy smiles as Xander and her head to the table with the rest of the group.

"So, are you going to tell Giles about your premonition?" Willow asks.

"Tomorrow, but right now lets just have some fun and enjoy ourselves." she smiles. "Life is short, we got to live it to the fullest."

Xander looks at her surprised, "Wow, is this a new improved fun Buffy I see before me?"
