It's weird. It's like all of a sudden I just got transported to
my soul.
Not sure where here is, but there's some funny lookin' bloke talking
to me. Oh, he wants be to get out of his boat. Boat?
After getting out, I see this dog. Either I'm drunk or that dog
really
had three heads.
Now I'm standing before three more blokes. They say that they've
judged me. That because I helped the Slayer for five years that
they're gonna allow me enterance into Elysium. Whatever that
is.
Okay. I'm starting to get sick. They keep on doing that
transporting thing. It's hell on the stomach. I should
real--- My
god. There she is. My Red.
She looks so bloody happy. Who's that bloke? And why is
she
hugging him? "Red!" I call out, but she doesn't hear me.
I run to
her. "Red." I grab her shoulders, turning her to face me.
She
looks at me blankly. "Red. It's me. Spike."
Still that blank look.
I can't believe she doesn't remember.
"This is my friend. Jesse." I hear her say. How can she
not
remember?
"Luv, can we chat over here?"
"Um, sure, why not?"
She follow me over. We sit down on the ground. "I wish you
would
just remember." I say as I lean back against a tree. This
tree's
hard. And knotty. I turn to look at the tree and I see
it. "Luv, look.
Remember when I did this?" She looks as though she's trying to
remember. "This tree. Right by the park bench. please
tell me
you remember."
She nods, but I can tell she's not sure. Kinda like the lights
are on
but no one's home. "Red. Willow. We were in lo--"
"What did you call me?"
"Red?"
"No. After that."
"Willow, it's your name."
"I remember the first time you called me that. It was in your
crypt.
We'd just made love and you held me in your arms. You
whispered that you would love me forever. And you called me
Willow. Not Pet. Not Luv. Not Ducks. Not Witch
or Red. You
called me Willow."
"You remember."
"How could I have forgotten? You are my love. My only love.
My
true love."
She nudged over closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her as
the sun of Elysium rose.
We sit like that everyday. Both enjoying the warmth. Soon
hades
will split us apart and send our souls off. Red promises that
we'll
find each other. Says we're than Soul Mates. Says we're
one soul.
