Disclaimer: I own Ellie, Dusk, Lox and Brooke. The rest I have no claim to at all!

Author's note: Well, this is the last chapter. Finally! I really haven't been very happy with this story, I should have spent more time developing characters, especially with Brooke. I killed her off before anyone got to know her, which I'm totally regretting.

If you want to read one of my better stories, check out "What's that smell?" It's an "Angel" kidfic, which I've worked really hard on, and I'm sure it's better than this one!

Penny: Hi to you too! I'm guessing that means you like it?! Thanks for reviewing.

Brennan's Angel: I love your new name, even though it's not so new now. I hope you like this ending!

Fred-V-Illyria: Sorry if you're worried, but you should be! Thanks about Lox, I liked her too.

"Ellie. Get back!" Buffy demanded, shooting Willow and Xander a look which even Ellie knew meant "why did you bring her?"

"No!" The ten-year-old cried. "It needs her blood to stop, right? Well I'm her sister, I have her blood."

Buffy stared at her in shock, not understanding how Ellie could possibly know what was going on, let alone be so brave about it.

"Giles isn't the only one with fancy books", she explained, her heart pounding with fear, but refusing to show it. "I read as well. I know what I've gotta do." Feeling tears spring to her eyes, Ellie turned away.

"If you've read the books then you know I'm made up of you. My blood would work just as well as yours." Buffy argued, one eye still on Lox, lightning crashing around them.

Ellie looked her right in the eye, blinking back tears. Elizabeth Winters was not a cry-baby, she could handle anything, she'd always had to.

"You might have my 'essence', but you don't have my blood, and besides, people need you."

Willow watched her, with a strange feeling of pride for the child, suddenly realising just how mature she could be, without the 'bad words'.

Xander grabbed her arm gently, holding her back, Willow might have found Ellie's mature side, but the witch wasn't ready to see her jump. and Xander knew that.

"She's ours now, Ellie, and I want you to take care of her, and protect her from the monsters and things that go "boo", just like I've done with you."

"You have to let me do this."

Buffy knew it was true, she'd done the same thing when it had been Dawn, but she didn't want to believe it. Ellie was only ten, with her whole life ahead of her, she didn't want it to be the only possibility.

"Take care of Dusk," Ellie instructed quietly, none of it feeling real. "She's got no one else."

Willow turned and buried her face in Xander's shoulder, as Ellie ran to the edge of the platform. She'd have to do it quickly, she'd have to be brave, Elizabeth Winters didn't get scared.

"Bloody Hell," She added with a shaky smile, it was after all, the thing she was most famous for saying.

Ellie wanted to run away more than anything as she stood on the edge, she wanted to be as far away as possible, but it was down to her and she knew it, as she jumped.

Lox screamed, throwing Dusk to one side, her dreams crashing around her, Glory's only chance. Gone.

"Ellie!" Dusk cried, tears rolling down her cheeks as Buffy held her back.

The feeling of falling only lasted for a few seconds, and then there was nothing. Nothing but silence around the little girl as she fell, or maybe rose, to wherever it was she was going. But she knew her mum would be waiting, she knew she'd meet her there, and she knew she'd done the right thing.

She'd achieved more in her ten years than most people had in a lifetime. She'd saved her sister, saved the world, even learnt about orgasms from Anya, and what ten year old could say they'd done that?

Ellie watched as Willow and Xander welcomed Dusk into their arms, and the last thing she heard, before being reunited with Brooke, was Xander, saying, "I guess she really was an Angel"

Ellie smiled to herself.

"I guess I am"
