It never dies

Chapter one

Buffy walked on the Restfield cemetery on her way to Spike's crypt. Then suddenly she heard a sound behind her. Somebody placed a hand on her shoulder, quickly she took it and threw the person over her. It was then she saw who it was, and she looked at him surprised.

- Angel, she said and he rose up from the ground. What are you doing here?

- Hello to you too, he said and looked at her.

- Sorry, but I'm just surprised to see you here in Sunnydale.

- I'm here because I need your help.

- My help, with what? Buffy asked him.

- I need to find Faith, he answered and Buffy looked at him.

- Faith, isn't she in jail?

- No she's gone, she just disappeared for two days ago.

- Did she escape? Buffy asked and looked at him.

- No, she wouldn't do that, he answered.

- Yeah because she's so good and not a murderer, Buffy said sarcastic.

- Listen I'm the only one who has never giving up on her, he said. So are you helping me or not?

- Okay but I'm doing it for you and not for her.

- Okay, Angel said. How's old Spike?

- What? she asked him.

- I can smell him all over you, Buffy, he answered. Are you two together?

- That's none of your business, she answered.

- It is if he's evil and you're with him.

- No it isn't, you have your life in L.A. and I have my life here with who ever I want!

Angel looked at her.

- You're right, he said. You have your life here and I have my life in L.A.

- I'm still going to help you, Buffy said. See you later, okay?

- Okay.

- Good, it was nice to see you again Angel, she said and started to walk away from him and towards Spike's crypt.

- Nice to see you too, Angel said and walked the other way.

Buffy opened the door to Spike's crypt and walked in.

- Spike? she asked and closed the door. Are you here?

He came up from the hole, only wearing a pair of black pants.

- Buffy, he said and walked towards her. I thought you said that it was the last time.

She looked at him.

- I changed my mind, she said and he smiled at her.

- Because of Angel? he asked and raised an eyebrow.

- Shut up, she answered and kissed him.

He undressed her red top and continued to kiss her.

- Dawnie it's time to get up, Willow said and Dawn looked at her.

- Just one minute, she answered and pulled the cover over her head.

Willow closed the door and walked downstairs and into the kitchen. The kitchen door opened and Buffy came in.

- Buffy, have you been on patrol all night? Willow asked her surprised.

- Yeah, something like that, she answered and thought about what she had done with Spike. Angel's in town.

- Angel is where?

- Here, in Sunnydale.

- Why? Willow asked and poured up a cup of coffee.

- He needs my help.

- With what?

- Finding Faith, Buffy answered and Willow looked at her.

- Isn't she supposed to be in jail?

- Yeah, but apparently she disappeared.

- Did someone kidnap her?

- I don't know, I just want to sleep now and later I'm going to meet Angel.

- Okay, I understand, Willow said as Buffy walked out into the hallway. You have been on patrol all night.

- Yeah on patrol, she said and went upstairs.

- Hi Buffy, Dawn said when she met her in the stair.

- Hi, Buffy said and went into her room.

Dawn looked at her sister's door and then she went downstairs and into the kitchen.

- God morning, sleeping beauty, Willow said and smiled at her.

- God morning, Dawn said. What's up with Buffy?

- What do you mean?

- She looked like she was down or something.

- Angel's in town.

- You're kidding?

- No and he wants help with finding Faith.

- And he asked for Buffy's help?

- Yeah.

- How's she taking it? Dawn asked.

- What I can see, not so good, Willow answered. You have to hurry now to school.

- I know, I know, Dawn said and took her schoolbag. I see you and Buffy later.

- Yeah, have a nice day!

- You too! Dawn yelled from the hallway before she left the house.

After the sunset Angel stood at the cemetery and waited for Buffy. He thought about all the memories he had with her, he didn't wanted her to be lonely or unloved but he definitely didn't wanted her with Spike.

Then he saw Buffy coming towards him, she had a pair of black pants, a white sweater with long sleeves.

- Okay, where do you want to start? she asked him.

- Can't Willow do a finding spell or something?

- No, she's not using magic anymore.

- Why not?

- She got addicted.

- Oh, so where do you think we should start?

Buffy looked at him and now she stood right in front of him, then she threw herself on his lips and kissed him a long time.

- Okay, now I'm confused, Angel said after the kiss.

- Me too, Buffy said and looked down on the ground when he tried to have eye contact with her.

- I thought you're with Spike? he asked and looked at her.

- I am, sort off, Buffy answered. I guess I am.

- You don't know?

- No or yeah, you made me confused now.

- You kissed me, Angel said. And I'm not the one who is dating Captain Peroxide.

- We're not dating, Buffy said and he looked confused at her.

- So you aren't dating Spike?

- No, but I'm with him in a way.

- Okay, Angel said.

- Don't you have someone special in L.A.?

I used to have Cordy and my son, Angel thought but didn't say it.

- No nobody, he answered. So Spike's special?

- Are you jealous? Buffy asked.

- No, just because you have chosen to be with my enemy and I don't now if you still thinking of me sometimes.

Buffy looked at him.

- Is that what you think, that I have replaced you with Spike?

He didn't say anything.

- You're wrong, Buffy said and looked at him.
