Here is the last chapter of the story. I hope you enjoy and don't hate me.
Chapter 17
The time came it was five minutes before the sun was fully set when the gang pulled up outside of The Bronze. They got out and went to the side door in the alley.
Buffy looking through a window and gave Andi a signal. Andi pulled out a bobbi pin and a piece of metal wire and unlocked the door. They went in and hid. They saw a huge hole in the middle of the club and a hole right above it in the ceiling and tied in between the holes and off to the side was a long wooden pole with Joey, Faith and Trey tied to it.
They didn't see Mr. Maclay or Donnie. Then a door opened and out walked Mr. Maclay.
He was wearing a long dark brown robe with a hoodie.
He walked to the tied up girls. "Hey. You all ready to be eaten?" He said laughing. "Not today."
Mr. Maclay turned around and saw Buffy standing there with Xander, Willow, and Dawn to her left and Tara, Anya, and Andi to her right.
"What are you going to do Slayer? Quip us to death." "Actually I was more thinking we'd kill you. 'Cause you know seven of us, ten when we get our friends down, and only one of you." Buffy said as Mr. Maclay smiled.
"Oh, come now Buffy. Did you really think I would come unarmed?" Then at least a dozen vampire came out of the shadows all around the group. "Gulp." Xander said.
"You three handle those six. You three handle those six. I've got Mr. Maclay. When I get him distracted someone get Faith and the others down." Buffy said. Everyone nodded and went to where they were supposed to fight.
"Well Buffy. I'm glad it's you and me fighting to the death and all, but i've got plans." He said as three vampires rushed her from behind. Mr. Maclay turned around to start the ritual. He saw Faith right before she punched him.
Dawn had taken out two of the vampires that were on her and Willow. A guy dressed all in black with scars all over him came up behind Andi and raised his sword to her head.Xander saw this and pushed Andi out of the way as the sword went through his throat.
He fell to the ground next to Andi. Andi looked up anger and tears burning in her eyes.
"You killed my dad. You bitch!" Then she went running at him. "Andi! NO!" Trey yelled, but it was too late. Andi was already flying halfway across the room. She hit the wall and was knocked unconscious. Burn marks from the lighting bolts the guy had sent through her when she touched him, were still sizzling.
As Trey was looking at Andi. A huge vampire came up behind her, picked her up by the throat and threw her. She would have fallen down the hole but she hit the pole then landed into some tables.
No one saw Donnie in the shadows. No one knew he was there, waiting. Then he lifted his gun and cocked it. He pointed it ready to shoot.
Dawn was watching her girlfriend get choked to death and didn't know what to do. Then she saw Anya stake the guy from behind.
Dawn finished off the vampire she was fighting and went running to Joey.As soon as she put her arms around Joey's neck the bullet pierced her back.
Dawn's eyes went wide and her breath hitched. Joey brought her hands up to Dawn's back and felt the warm liquid. No matter how much she didn't want to she lifted her hand and saw the blood.
Joey looked into Dawn's eyes and saw her pupils dilate. Then Dawn crumpled to the ground.
Donnie was laughing.
He looked over and saw his sister, Tara. God how he hated her. He cocked his gun and got ready to shoot.
Nothing happened.
He was out of bullets. "Damn!" He said. Donnie looked around and saw a bat. He picked it up and came up behind Tara.
"Hey sister." He said before slamming the bat into her head. Tara flew back into the wall with such force. Almost the entire wall fell on her.
Willow saw and ran at him screaming.
She pulled out the knife and stabbed him with it. "Just returning your knife." She said before pushing him down the hole.
As soon as Mr. Maclay saw his son get pushed, he knew he couldn't finish the ritual. So he ran.
Buffy finished off the last two vampires and was looking around for Faith. Then she saw her. Faith was hanging on the wall, rope tied around her wrists. Buffy ran to her.
"Faith? Baby? Oh my God. Come on, lets get you down." "Buffy. I ca..." Faith tried to say. "What?" Buffy asked.
Faith looked down at her chest. Buffy didn't quite understand, but she moved her fingers right under Faith's rib cage and felt the very tip of the huge shard of glass Faith was hanging on.
Faith looked at her. "Buffy you...have to." Buffy's eyes went wide. She shook her head. "No! Faith no! I can't, I won't!" "B. Please, It...h...hurts." Faith said.
Buffy shook her head again.
She leaned up and kissed Faith for the last time. Then she put a hand on each side of Faith and pushed her farther onto the shard of glass. Buffy closed her eyes and Faith's body went limp.
Buffy looked around and it finally hit her. They lost.
Trey was stroking Andi's hair whispering for her to wake up. Anya was crying over Xander's lifeless body. Joey was crying and kissing Dawn's hand. Sitting in a pool of Dawn's blood. And Willow was picking Tara's unconscious body up out of the ruble.
Buffy broke down and fell to Faith's feet as sirens could be heard down the street.
****
Two weeks later.
Buffy, Anya, Trey, and Andi had just left the hospital. Willow was still there, sleeping next to Tara's bed. As Tara lay in a coma.
Buffy and Anya helped Trey and Andi out of the car. Trey had a broken arm and a sprained ankle, while Andi was having trouble walking among other easy things.
Buffy went around to the back yard.
The day before she had buried three of the most important people in her life.
There were three headstones and fresh graves in the back of the Summer's yard underneath three trees. Buffy put flowers on each grave. Then walked back to the house.She opened the door and turned back around.
The sky was blue, not a cloud in sight. Birds were chirping and kids played. She looked up at the sky.
"That's it. I'm done." She said. "I don't care what you say. I will find the next slayer. Train her, but then that's it. I retire." Buffy said.
Closing the door on her Destiny.

THE END
Well I hoped you like it. And I hope your not mad at me.
