~ The Mentors // Baby, You'll Regret Me


'Baby, you'll regret me.'

The words echoed through Buffy's head as they fought. She did regret Angelus. She regretted everything about him. She regretted his lies, his manipulation, his threats to her friends and family.

But mostly she regretted that he hadn't wanted her. Hadn't fawned over her and tried to win her. No, that he'd saved for Willow. It was Willow he courted, Willow he won, Willow he turned because he wanted to be with her forever.

Not Buffy. Willow.

One thing she didn't regret was staking Willow.

But she regretted Angelus all right. As she plunged the sword through his heart, those words haunted her.

'Baby, you'll regret me.'

She watched him disintegrate into the tempest and replied, "You first."
