Ending #1:

Willow had anticipated the stake, and yet…she hadn’t been quick enough, as hard as that may be to believe. When she felt the sharpened stake puncture her skin, just barely missing bone, she looked down at the object stuck in her heart, and then back to Cordelia. There was a different look in her eyes now, completely opposite of the look her soulless ones had held. In them, there was a small trace of who Willow had been before her siring.

And with her last split second of control, she smiled, before her body faded away to dust.

Cordelia couldn’t believe her luck. Her stake had hit its mark directly; it was firmly lodged in the center of Willow’s heart. She locked eyes with Willow, and was startled to see something… innately human there. In the moment when Willow smiled, she almost looked like the kindhearted girl she once knew back in high school, before Sunnydale had gone to hell.

And then she was gone.

As Willow faded to dust, Cordelia let out a shaky sigh of relief. Despite the odds, she had made it out of this alive. Turning on her heel, she ran back in the direction of the safehouse. After this encounter, Cordelia wasn’t going to risk another run-in that night; she could find Harmony tomorrow.
