Lady Emily

Disclaimer: I wish!

Pairing: Spike/OC

Prologue

Spike and Buffy walked in an awkward silence through one of the less up kept cemeteries of Sunnydale. Spike had tried to make conversation however Buffy really didn't want to talk to the bleached vampire after his confession of love and chaining her up, but she needed help with patrolling in the bleak dead of the night and he was the most likely candidate.

A shrill scream broke the quiet night and the Slayer instinctively dashed off in the direction of the commotion, Spike closely behind.

Both stood frozen as they watched the grotesque demon and young woman argue, the Slayer could have sworn they weren't speaking English.

Suddenly the woman lashed out sending the slim oozing demon hurtling into the nearest mausoleum, the demon yelped as she advanced, she screamed in the unknown language and pummelled the demon until its horns bleed purple blood; she took pity on the beast and snapped its neck. "Stupid minions." She muttered brushing her hands on her black velvet dress.

"Excuse me," Buffy interrupted her quiet ranting, Spike looked at the blonde Slayer then at the fiery red head with her back to them.

Spike pulled on her arm. "Luv, we should get out of here." Spike whispered harshly, Buffy shrugged him off and trudged up to the red head, who did she think she was coming to the slayer's town and killing demons!

"Excuse me," Buffy exclaimed almost snottily. "I'm speaking to you."

The woman sighed but did not move. "And I'm ignoring you." Spike snorted at the response and quickly regretted it when she cocked her head to the side in concentration. "I know that laugh," she mused, she turned to reveal an elegant face; dark emerald eyes contrasted with porcelain flesh and a smile curled rose lips fondly. "William." She smiled.

Buffy looked bemusedly at Spike as he bowed his head in a respectful gesture to the woman before him. "Lady Emily." He greeted submissively.

"Now, now." Emily scolded. "None of that; come and give me a hug." Emily laughed as Spike looked up gleefully, gleefully! Buffy thought, her mind covered in fog. I've never seen Spike smile before, never mind gleeful.

"Spike!" Buffy yelled prying his attention of the other woman. "What's going on?!?" She demanded stamping her foot much in the way of a child. "Who is this-this kid!?!" The Slayer yelled, for that was all she was, a year maybe two older that Dawn.

Spike looked back and forth between Emily and Buffy, finally deciding that begging was the best option. "Please Emily she didn't mean it, you know how slayers are." Spike pleaded desperately. "She doesn't know-"

"Silence Childe." Emily bellowed, she scowled at Buffy then smirked. "It has been an age since a Slayer has run through my veins." Emily purred. "I wish to renew it." She ended with a growl. Buffy backed off and raised her stake. Emily cackled. "Rupert must be slipping."

"Emily." Spike interrupted quietly, "Why are you here?" He questioned softly. She can't have remembered, Spike thought sourly, no-one else did.

"Why, to send my greetings, of course." Spike looked at her in confusion. "Come now, did you presume I'd forget my baby's birthday?" She laughed jollily. Spike looked down shyly. "So, what other presents have you received?" She question casually.

Spike shook his head sadly, "No-one remembered." He sniffed slightly, why do I turn into that poof William when she's around? Emily stroked his soft peroxide locks desolately.

"Not even Drusilla?" She arched her eyebrow, he shook his head. "Well then. We shall celebrate anyway." She smiled chirpily. "We shall have a party and you invited anyone you like." She exclaimed, Spike murmured something under his breath. "What was that?"

"I don't have any friends." He gritted louder, looking down at his feet.

"Nonsense." She admonished. "What of Clem? And Dawn? Leave it to me."

Buffy turned red. "Dawn is not going anywhere with you." The Slayer yelled.

Emily sighed. "Well I believe that is for the child to decide." Emily announced turning her back on her. "We should retire for the night." Emily stated nodding her head as she thought about sleeping arrangements.

"Yes Sire." Spike replied following Emily as she walked away.

"You'll stay at mine." Emily informed the blonde. "I have errands to run during the day, I'll be back before nightfall." She finished, Spike knew not to question her instead nodded obediently.
