Buffy sat on the couch in her living room in shock. Tears rolled
slowly down her cheeks. She couldn't believe it. She and Spike had been
fooling around for months. Buffy had constantly told Spike that it meant
nothing it was only physical. That's all it was, she had even told him
they should stop. Somehow it always started up again, usually that same
day. He said he loved her and Buffy liked that she needed someone to love
her.
The break up was different this time. He had called it off. He had never done that before. He had walked in with this vampire he had made, Edenn. She had called him daddy. Buffy had invited the girl right in, and she left the room. When she came back they were kissing and Spike said he was back, evil again. Buffy knew Spike and when he put his mind to something he did it. He had been after her before, he was the one vampire she let get away.
Suddenly Buffy realized she was home alone and a sitting duck for Spike and his new girlfriend Edenn. They had an open invitation to her house. Buffy grabbed the phone she had dropped when she caught the couple kissing. She knew Willow went to Xander's to sulk about Tara breaking up with her. Xander was able to cheer up almost anyone. She quickly dialed his number.\
"What?" Anya's voice came out of the other end. "No wait let me start that again. Hello. It's Xander's house. Well I don't mean it's Xander's house, because houses can't talk. I mean unless you do some kind of spell. But why would you want to make a house talk?." There was some scuffling noise as Buffy sat in confused silence. She stared at her phone.
"Hey!" said Xander after taking the phone from Anya. "Whoever this is, I'm very very sorry. That was my crazy neighbor, I have no idea how she got hold of my phone."
"Hey!" said Anya in the background. "I'm not crazy.!"
"That's debatable." Xander said into the phone by accident.
"Xander?" Buffy asked.
"Hey! It's the Buffster, you gonna come over and join us?"
"As much fun as your place sounds right now I don't think I can make it.. We have a big problem going on."
"What is it?" Xander asked suddenly serious.
"It's Spike. He's back in the really bad sense of the word." Buffy explained trying to hold back tears.
"What happened?"
"He's got a new girlfriend named Edenn. Punk girl he turned. They came in my house and then they threatened to come after me."
"He's evil? Again? How could he...? After all we...? Nope I can't act even a little surprised. I knew we should've killed him a long time ago." Xander said proud that he was right and everyone else was wrong.
"Gloat later. You were right. Can you put Willow on the phone now?" Buffy asked him.
"Sure Buffy. Hold on."
Buffy heard Xander telling Anya and Willow the news on Spike. A few seconds later Willow cam on the line. "Xander told me everything. Are you ok?" Willow asked worried about her friend.
"Yeah I'm fine for now. But remember when Angel turned evil? He was able to come in and out of my house at night without me having a clue. Spike is the kind of guy that would take advantage of that and wouldn't be drawing pictures. He's more the kill the Slayer in her sleep and brag about it in a bar the next day kind of guy."
"You need me to do a Spell?" Willow asked excitedly.
"Yeah could you? Soon. No one's safe in the house until you do. One for Spike.. and one for Edenn." Buffy said after a short pause.
"You invited his girlfriend in?" Willow asked in shock.
"I thought she was harmless." Buffy said trying to cover up the situation.
"Buffy..." Willow said reprimanding her.
"You can yell at me later ok? Look Dawn's sleeping over her friend's tonight but you and I are sleeping here. Could you do the spells when you get home?"
"Sure, I'll leave right now and pick the stuff up at the Magick Shop."
"You better pay me this time." Anya said loudly.
"I will!" Willow said annoyed. "I'm gonna go right now ok Buffy?"
"You don't have to go if you're having fun." Buffy said in a small vulnerable voice. Willow knew that meant Buffy really wanted her to come over, Buffy just didn't want to say it.
"You're all alone. I'm coming right over. I have my resolve face on. You know what that means." Willow said full of determination.
"I know what that means. You're all business Will." Buffy said smiling slightly.
"I'm already on my way." Willow said.
"Ok I'll see you when you get here." Buffy smiling slightly.
"Bye." Willow said then hung up. Buffy hung up her phone and dropped it on the floor again. She curled up on the couch, pulling her knees to her chest and hugging her legs to make herself as small as possible.
