She wore black.

To sneak through the shadows, he said. To stay unseen, he said. To keep your secrets, he said.

She died on a full moon, when shadows were hard to come by, when she was seen, when her secret was discovered.

*****

She wore white.

To look innocent, he said. To be misjudged, he said. To keep your secrets, he said.

She died on a new moon, when innocence was undesirable, when she was judged and found wanting, when her secret was discovered.

*****

She wore red.

He said nothing, but took up a weapon and her cause.

She lived.

You aren't an idiot, it's just not very clear. Each of the she's is a different slayer with a different watcher, with that last one being Buffy and Giles.

Maybe I should edit it so they are more separated.

Hey, no worries. Hopefully the editing helps not just you, but everyone. I should probably do the same over at open_on_sunday...

I really like this. It's ambiguous, but it makes you think.

mich had a hard time making heads or tails of it - hopefully adding the breaks between characters helps.

I'm glad you like it. I wish I could write something fluffy though. :)

Why, thank you so much. I've read your micro fics and admired them, so your comment is especially wonderful.
