Warning & disclaimer: Not really a fanfic, but rather a
snippet I wrote for personal reasons, only to discover that it
could work as a "Buffy, the Vamire Slayer" POV set around the
episode "Listening to Fear"... Life is funny that way. Just to be
on the safe side, and case you don't know this, I don't own Buffy,
or any of the characters from that show.
I know I'm supposed to be strong. Years of fighting have taught
me to keep my fears and my vulnerabilities hidden, and that's a
lesson I've learned well. No one can see them, sometimes I even
manage to hide them from myself, but not today. I can see my world
crumbling around me, and there is nothing I can do to prevent it.
I know this is a battle I cannot win, and once it's over a part of
my soul will be lost.
She has always been there, and now I face the day when she will
no longer be. Her doctor gave me a long list of instructions,
daunting. Do's and don'ts, medications, schedules... everything. I
live for her now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. And even
though I know it will only be for a short time, I wish it could be
forever. Today, like each morning, as I wake her up, I have to
confront the fear brought by a question I never thought possible:
will she know me?
Go home
