The Seed of Good & Evil (Buffy Fanfic w/ Angel references)

(Scene 1: It's the middle of the night. Spike is talking in his sleep. Suddenly he opens his eyes and sits straight up.)

Spike: Buffy.

(He gets out of bed and grabs his ax and runs out of his layer. At Buffy's house a white wispy smoke cloud starts coming under the front door. It begins to eerily creep up the stairs. Spike is running through the graveyard. The smoke continues to creep and starts to fill Buffy's room. Spike arrives in the house. He looks up the stairs and begins to run up the stairs. When he gets there the smoke has turned into a solid shape. It has a knife and is about to stab Buffy when Spike runs in the room.)

Spike: Oh, no you don't. (He throws the ax at the demon and it turns into a dusty smoke and disappears. Spike goes to get his ax from the ground. Buffy begins to open her eyes and sits up when she sees Spike.)

Buffy: SPIKE! What are you doing here?

Spike: There was a demon.

Buffy: Really.

Spike: It was about to bloody kill you Buffy.

Buffy: I'm not even going to ask how you knew that.

Spike: It was here. I swear it.

Buffy: You know what I don't care. I have a lot to do tomorrow and I'm really tired so shoe.

Spike: Shoe?

Buffy: Yes, now please.

Spike: Fine, don't believe me, the next time I won't even bother to take the bloody trip. (Spike walks out of Buffy's room. Buffy shakes her head.)

Buffy: To tired for this. (She lies back down. She turns on her side. She opens her eyes and finds a knife on her pillow. She picks it up and sits up in her bed.) All right now I'm awake.

(Scene 2: Inside the magic box. Anya Willow, Xander and Tara are listening to Buffy's story.)

Willow: So you're saying Spike somehow knew you were in danger.

Xander: You know we could chalk this up to lurking. We all know how much of a lurker he is.

Buffy: That was my initial thought, but I don't know. He claims he was asleep and all the sudden he got this presage that I was in danger.

Willow: Well that's strange.

Xander: Yeah well Spike is a strange type of fellow.

Willow: I'm not talking about Spike as much as I'm talking about his vision or presage. If Spike is telling the truth and did sense Buffy was in danger that's is a very interesting and possibly useful skill to have.

Buffy: Yeah well I don't need his protection. I'm going for Chinese takeout, anyone wants something?

Willow: No.

Tara: No.

Xander: I'm good

Buffy: Well, OK, more for me, I'm starving. (There is suddenly this loud lashing at the door. Spike runs inside with his leather jacket covering his head.)

Tara: Spike?

Buffy: Great.

Willow: We were just talking about you.

Buffy: What are you doing here, in the middle of the day. While the sun is out?

Spike: (He holds a paper bag out and puts it toward Buffy.) I bought you some Chinese food. Here take it.

Buffy: No.

Spike: You know you want it. You've wanted it since you came here.

Buffy: Fine I'll take it for evidence. (Buffy takes the bag from Spike.)

Anya: Chinese food, hey I didn't know he was a delivery boy. That's an interesting job for a vampire to have, but of course you're not just a regular vampire. You can sense danger. (Xander bows her softly.) What he can?

Spike: (Spike turns to Buffy.) You told them.

Buffy: I had to Spike, I found you in my bedroom during the crack of night and now you bring me Chinese food. The exact kind I wanted it, thank you by the way. What is all of this?

Xander: Somebody has a crush, somebody has a crush. (Buffy flashes him an angry look.) Or not. (Buffy turns back to Spike.)

Spike: I don't know. Do you really think I would risk my after life just to buy you lunch? No, never, but I had this feeling. Like a little voice in my head. It wouldn't go away until I found you.

Willow: Is this voice like the one that told you Buffy was in danger?

Spike: Yeah, the same voice actually. (Spike takes out a cigarette he looks over at Buffy and then puts it back.) Listen I have to go, I'm sure you have enough books to tell you exactly what's going on in my head all right. (Spike looks at Buffy.) Later love. (Spike leaves.)

Buffy: (Buffy watches him leave.) Do you see what I mean? Freaky.

Willow: To the third power. What could be causing this?

Tara: (Tara is reading through one of the books.) Well, that's impossible.

Willow: What is?

Tara: I found something that fits Spike's behavior. He's protective over Buffy, he can read her mine.

Willow: Almost like he's telepathic, but with a few more advantages.

Tara: And a few more instincts, but we would need scrolls to verify this.

Buffy: Wait, so you're saying Spike is crawling around in my head without me knowing it?

Tara: No, but if this book is right, something is definitely inside of you.

(Scene 3: Buffy is at the hospital with Willow.)

Buffy: I can't believe I'm doing this. It's impossible.

Willow: We have to make sure we're not missing something Buffy.

Buffy: Do you hear me? I can't be pregnant OK.

Willow: If it's any consolation you're probably right, but Spike could read your mind even tell when you're stressing you have to admit that is weird.

Buffy: Yes, that is weird, but it's not because. (The doctor comes out.)

Dr. Woodrow: Buffy Summers.

Buffy: That's me. (Buffy raises her hand. She gets up.) I'm not pregnant. I'm going to prove that book wrong. (Buffy gets up and walks over to the doctor. They go inside the office.)

Dr. Woodrow: Would you like to have a seat?

Buffy: I won't be needing a seat. Now I know I'm not pregnant and all I need is for you to tell that to my friend outside.

Dr. Woodrow: I could say that if you'd like.

Buffy: I'd appreciate it very much thank you. (Buffy starts walking towards the door.)

Dr. Woodrow: But I would be lying. (Buffy stops. She turns to him.)

Buffy: What?
