Sunshine and Sadness
Nightbird
"In a blink of an eye
You were there."

A Blood red tear runs slowly down a pale face before landing in the grey ash, turning it pale pink.

"With a half-hearted smile
You were gone,
In a blink of eye."

The man remembers days and years gone by when the two of them were feared around Europe and their names were written in the blood of a thousand bodies.

"And I don't know why,
You never said goodbye,
You were gone in the blink of an eye."

Angelus had turned her, but she had bitten back and he was left with her, together they became feared. A Slayer-vamp and a Master vamp. A terrible combination for their victims.Until a run in with the Slayerettes, resulted in free souls.

"I still wonder why,
You never said goodbye,
Gone in a blink of eye."

The blonde man shudders as the red tears fall harder and the sun slowly creeps towards him.

"And I wonder now,
If I'll make it though the day,
With out you by my side."

Standing up, he awaits the sun, a prickling sensation surrounds him and his instincts make him want to bolt for the shadows but he stays there uttering one single sound "Buffy." Before the sun hits him and all that's left is ash, falling down to mix with the tears.

"Days are lonely,
And the nights are hard,
Cause you were gone in a blink of an eye."

The sun's light falls over the ash, as the door opens,

"Buff, Spike are you here?"

"Gone in a blink of an eye."
