Note: Written for a prompt at Open on Sunday: enemy. I didn’t actually use the word enemy, but the idea is there.
Note: Mrs. Madison is from the Witch episode. Daryl Epps from Some Assembly Required. Pete Clarner from Beauty and the Beasts. Tucker Wells from The Prom.
Word Count: 101 (with the edit/fix)

Willow lay awake in Xander's bed. He was on the couch. She felt grateful. She didn't want to be where Tara had been shot.

She wasn't sure if Xander was there as friend or guard.

They should kill her. Maybe they still would. Over the years they'd fought humans, humans who'd died or who'd deserved to die. Mrs. Madison. Daryl Epps. Pete Clarner. Tucker Wells. Andrew. Jonathan.

Warren.

Willow turned her head away, but not from what she'd done to Warren. She'd do it again. That's how she knew she was a monster. They should kill her, while they still could.

Thank you. They do try to explore it in the series but it doesn't get much farther than Buffy saying "killing humans, bad" while Dawn and Xander each think Warren is better off dead.


Aaargh. Thank you for catching that! Brain not working as well as it used to. *sigh*
