Written for: challenge100's "Angst/Broken" challenge.
Notes: Wes/Fred/Illryia; a broken needle, a broken axe, and Wesley's broken heart.

---

I realized it was useless when the needle broke on her arm. While I promised it wouldn't take her, I knew it would. And even as my heart broke, I had to stay strong, to not show her how afraid I was.

Because, make no bones about it, I was afraid. Terrified. My Fred was brave, though. Then she said, "Why can't I stay?"...and died in my arms. But it wasn't over, not yet. She stood up, only it wasn't her anymore.

And as the axe shattered on what was once Fred's head, my heart shattered all over again.

Very nice and eerie.

Thank you!

Speaking of nice and eerie, wasn't it you that had the poem up on FFN from the POV of an adult in Sunnydale? I was looking for it the other day and couldn't find it.

Not I. I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere, but I don't remember who it was who wrote it.

Hah! Found it! Gyrus wrote it.
