I awoke with a jolt, my eyes snapping open. I was alone. In a hospital wing. In a bag. I yanked myself out in horror, realising it was a body bag!
"Ah, you're awake! About bloody time!" Came a voice from the shadows.
"Who's there?" I called out
Out of the shadows came a bleached haired vampire. Spike.
"Spike?" I asked cautiously
"Yeah. You're lucky to be alive-I risked life and limb for you! Well my sodding chip did anyway!"
Slowly I picked myself up and circled Spike. He watched me intently. I looked around my surroundings. A line of body bags stretched along the hospital floor. The curtains moved in a breeze and I turned once more to look at Spike.
"Wait…I'm…hungry!" I said hesitantly. It was a hunger I'd never felt before.
"Yeah! Just don't drink people! You won't be able to stop!"
I stared at him aghast! I would never eat a…person! Unless…
"Am I a-"
"Yes!" Spike interrupted "But don't worry! I've given you with a soul. A few nerds really don't want to mess with me!"
That set my train of thought going.
"Willow! Her shirt was…bloody!"
"Yeah!" Spike shifted uncomfortably "That was your blood!"
Noticing the small bullet hole for the first time I screamed in fear.
"Well I'm off! Bye!" Spike sauntered off, lighting a cigarette.
"Wait!" I called but he'd gone.
I ran after him but he had gone! Quickly, I dashed off to the magic box to try and find something some ingredients for a locator spell to find Willow.
Running, I tripped on the curb and looked up. There was Willow but she was…different! She had jet black hair, veins and night-black eyes.
"Jonathon…Andrew!" She was saying, "You boys like magic don't you? Abracadabra!" Suddenly, pure dark electrical energy buzzed from her hands and directed at Jonathon and Andrew. What was I seeing? Willow?
"Okay, didn't see that coming!" She looked half-baffled
"What was that?!" Andrew enquired
"We're alive!" Jonathon sighed with relief
Willow however looked just the same.
"You guys wanna take it slow?"
I ran off at that point. I couldn't take it!
Sitting down, I knew it was because she wanted revenge for me. My…murder?
I didn't know who had shot me. It must have been one of those two though.
I knew if Willow saw me, she would kill me immediately, thinking I was a trick or something. I had to leave. I could return when Buffy had dealt with Willow, but until then…
My Sunnydale life was over. For now.
