Hello! So, this idea just popped into my head, I began writing and I ended up with 3 chapters already so I thought I would publish the first chapter and see what people think. This is not Buffy/Spike friendly, though there is a romance between them it is very much to the story in the way she acts towards him. I apologize for any grammar mistakes, I looked it over but not very thoroughly.
Please review, let me know if you want the next chapter, if so I'll post it, if not I might anyway I don't know LOL :D
Taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing it out slowly, he turned to the blonde girl beside him.
"So what you're saying love is you need my help" he said, looking down at her. They were standing in an alley, he was leaning against a brick wall, while she was looking through a chain fence beside him, her hand gripping it tightly, wondering if it was a good idea to have met him in the first place. Beyond the fence were Willow and Xander, waiting at a safe distance for her, stakes at the ready just in case.
"I wouldn't say need" she replied curtly, turning away from the fence.
"What would you say then? Want? Do you want me Buffy?" Spike asked, stepping towards her. He caressed her arm and brought his hand up to her chin, tilting her face to gaze into her eyes. "Is that would you are saying, pet?"
Before she could reply, a scream was heard from behind Spike, far off but close enough to be heard. Without a word, they both broke off, sprinting towards the sound. Buffy could hear Willow and Xander following behind, their footfalls bouncing off the walls and was glad she had brought them along. Up ahead they could hear the distinct sound of fighting, the clink of metal against pavement, the grunts of men, mixed in with the sound of fire crackling. When they rounded the corner, they both stopped, taking in the scene before them, deciding how to react.
There were three bulky figures wearing strange glowing green and silver armor, axes in their hands, looming over a bright, flickering object in front of them. They were speaking to it, though their deep voices didn't carry, as they stepped closer to the corner, raising their weapons. Rushing towards them, Buffy and Spike tackled the closest two, while Willow and Xander, rounding the corner, followed suite teaming up against the last warrior. Stealing the weapon from her opponent, Buffy swung the ax and it sliced through her opponents head, green blood oozing out of its grey neck, and dripping off of the ax. With a grim smile she turned towards Spike, who had his enemy pinned to the ground. With a swift movement and a growl, he grabbed its head and snapped its neck, jumping off of it and looked up at Buffy. With a nod, she turned and saw Xander get thrown into the wall near the glowing object by the creature that Willow was clinging onto, her arms wrapped around its neck. It roared and shook itself until she fell off, but its fight was short lived. Buffy lifted the ax in her hand and threw it at the creature's chest; the weapon sunk in, killing the figure instantly.
"Well, that was easy" Buffy said, wiping the green blood off of her arm.
"Speak for yourself" replied Willow, rubbing her backside.
Buffy turned to Spike to tell him off for touching her earlier, when she caught the look of confusion and mild wonder on his face. Following his stare, she looked into the corner where the flickering object was, Xander sitting a few feet away from it unaware, his eyes closed and panting. She looked closer at the object and realized she was wrong, that wasn't a thing at all.
It looked like a small human figure made completely of flames, that was slowly standing up.
With a gasp, Buffy took a step forward, and the figure moved its head to face her, dark orbs where the eyes would be and a thin dark line where she guessed the mouth was. Flames billowed around its head, flowing and licking around, resembling hair in the wind. Stepping up to the fallen armored warrior, Buffy wrenched the ax out of its chest and stood still, looking at the creature.
It blinked a few times, the dark holes in its head opening and closing, and it took a step to the side, looking at the exit a couple feet away. Noticing the tension for the first time, Xander looked up as the figure slowly approached him and shouted in surprise, jumping up. Not wasting any time, Buffy rushed the creature, swinging the ax wide but the creature ducked and missed her target. She turned to face it and saw a barrel of rain water next to her, with a smile she leaped, kicking it over onto the fire demon. With a hiss and an agonizing shriek, the figure fell to the ground its flames sputtering out, leaving behind a blackened silhouette of a body, its arms wrapped around itself shaking. Lifting the axe up, Buffy prepared to finish it off.
"Wait!" Spike shouted, rushing towards Buffy and stopping the ax from hitting its target.
Buffy looked at him with furry in her eyes, "What are you doing?" she shouted.
"I don't think she means us any harm!"
"She?"
Looking down at the shivering figure, Buffy began to notice its silhouette was definitely feminine, its, HER, arms wrapped around her ash black chest. Her skin was slowly flaking off of her, leaving blackened flecks. Underneath was almost pure white skin, glowing slightly.
Willow slowly approached the girl, leaning before her. "Who are you?" she asked gently.
The girl lifted her head slightly, shaking, and opened her mouth, the skin around it cracking and peeling as she tried to speak. "I...I... Malvina," she managed to say before she fainted, her head falling back to the pavement.
Buffy looked down at the figure, puzzled. "But, she's a demon." She said pointing at the burned girl, then looking over at Willow, who returned a troubled look.
"So am I pet," Spike replied, bending over and gentle picking up the girl.
"So am I"
So yeah, like I said, if you want to know how this story goes just leave a review saying so, it only takes a minute :) THANKS!
