Chapter 2 La Citta Eterna. So very sorry for the really big delay. Here it is. Tis better then I would have expected. It was worth the wait.
They all head outside of the club. Buffy releases their ears and they face her.
"What are you doing here?" ask Buffy.
"Ah, aren't you surprised to see me?" ask Spike.
"No! You didn't call," says Buffy with an attitude.
"What, Angel you told her?" says Spike turning to him.
"I didn't tell her," replies Angel.
"It was Willow. She's working with big powers," says Buffy. "And she found out you were back. Also Andrew proved it when he came back from LA."
"I'm going to kill that little..." says Spike.
"Enough!" says Buffy. "Why are you guys here?"
"We um heard something," says Angel.
"Yeah, um something bad," says Spike.
"And I couldn't take care of it myself because?" says Buffy.
"Okay Buffy I was informed that you were with a dangerous man," says Angel. "We came here to save you."
"What dangerous man?" ask Buffy annoyed.
"That guy over there looks like a dangerous man," says Spike. "He took us out in two seconds. What are you?" Spike goes up to the guy and grabs him by his shirt. The guy pushes Spike away.
"Spike he is not a thing," says Buffy walking up to the guy. "He's a man with a pulse. Something you two don't have." The guy looks at Angel and Spike.
"They're vampires," says the guy looking at Buffy. "You went out with vampires?"
"Yeah, I was insane," says Buffy.
"Hey," says both Spike and Angel.
"We resent that," says Spike.
"Guys I moved on," says Buffy getting very close to the guy that wup their butts. "To the living for that matter." Angel and Spike glare at her then look at each other.
"Did they suck your blood for pleasure?" ask the guy. Buffy hits him on the arm.
"Yeah," reply Spike and Angel at the same time. They look at each other. "You did? When? Buffy!" The both look at her.
The other guy looks at Buffy too. Buffy puts a sweet innocent face.
"That's so none of your business," says Buffy as she turns away from them with her arms folded on her chest. She turns to the other guy. "That's in the past. I'm sure you did kinky stuff like that too." Angel and Spike look at the other guy.
"Not that kinky!" he replies.
"I've gotta go," says Buffy. "You three can play nice together." Buffy walks off.
"Buffy," calls the other guy. He pulls her back. "You not going to see him again are you?"
"I have to," says Buffy. "Thanks to these clowns I have to go to his place instead."
"Buffy," says Angel. "Who are you going to see?" Spike pushes Angel aside.
"Bloody hell," says Spike. "There is another man?"
"It's part of the job," says Buffy.
"Whoa wait a minute," says Angel.
"Have you become a hooker?" ask Spike.
"Spike!" say Angel.
"No! God no!" says Buffy. "It some big bad demon I think. He's been around for while and hurting people. I decided to go undercover as..."
"A hooker," says Spike.
"That's it let me at him," says Buffy ready to beat the crap out of Spike. Angel and the other guy held her back.
"She's working undercover to stop the immortal," says the guy with Buffy. "Heard of him?"
"Yeah," Spike and Angel say with attitude.
"Buffy you're going home," says Angel. "I'll handle the immortal."
"No," says Buffy smacking Angel on the face. His head almost does an exorcist. "Why don't you go home and let me do my job."
"Yeah, you tell him Buffy," says Spike.
"That includes you Spike," says Buffy. Spike pauses for a moment.
"I'm not letting the immortal touch one hair from you," says Spike.
"Deal, okay," says Buffy as she walks off.
"Buffy you shouldn't..." says the other guy trying to stop her from going to the immortal.
"Pike don't tell me what to do," says Buffy walking away into the darkness.
"Pike. What kind of a sissy name is that?" ask Spike as he walks up to him.
"Look buzz off," says Pike. "I kill the like of you every night." Pike walks away from them.
"So you're human," says Angel. "Pretty good skills."
"Learn from the best," says Pike with his head turned away from the two.
"Buffy," says Angel.
"Yep," says Pike. He turns around to face them. "I've known her before the both of you."
"So, that doesn't bloody mean she's yours," says Spike. "I saved the world for her and this is what I get in repay." Spike points at Angel.
"Spike shut up," says Angel. "Where is the immortal?"
"Lives at villa about half a block from here," says Pike.
"Why don't we pay him a visit," says Angel with a grin.
"Buffy is so going to kick our asses," says Pike as he passes in between the two vampires.
"Yep, you better believe it," says Angel and Spike. "Will you stop that!" The two vampires storm off after Pike leading the way to the villa of the immortal.
"Buffy, I was hoping to see you tonight," says the immortal as he opens the door to the room.
"Me too," says Buffy as she walks over to the man. "I wanted to..."
"Excuse me sir," says one of his servants entering the room.
"What now?"
"There is someone at the door for you," says the servant. "They said is very important."
"Business or pleasure," ask the immortal to the servant. He shrugs. "Buffy, I'm dreadfully sorry. Wait for me in my quarters."
"Sure. I hope it's not pleasure," says Buffy as she walks out of the room.
"I'm going to kill who ever is at the door," says the immortal as he walks over to it. "What do you...want?"
"Hey, buddy nice to see you again," says Angel. Spike smiles and the two punch him in the face at the same time. The immortal falls flat on his face. Some of the immortal's minions attempt to fight them but Pike pulls out his crossbow and dust the three.
"You're pretty good with that," says Spike looking at Pike. "Just try to keep it away from me."
"I'll do my best," says Pike with a smirk. Angel grabs the immortal and pushes him against the wall.
"I know you can't die," says Angel. "But you feel pain." Spike pulls out a metal bar from one of the windows and hands it to Angel. He sticks it into the immortal and he yells in pain as the bar goes into him pushing his ribs apart.
From upstairs Buffy could hear the immortal scream in agony. She quickly heads for the stairs and sees Angel, Spike and Pike. She walks into one of the immortal's rooms and pulls out a wooden spear. Buffy stands at the top of the stairs and throws the spear at Angel.
Spike sees the spear coming and warns Angel. Angel pulls away but the immortal grabs his arm allowing the spear to go through Angel's arm. He fell to the ground in pain. Spike looks up to where the spear came from and sees Buffy. She walks down the stairs and towards Spike who is the closest to the stairs.
"You shouldn't have come," says Buffy in a whisper. "I'm really sorry."
"For what?" ask Spike. Buffy punches Spike in the face and blood comes spilling out. She then kicks him the gut making him fall backwards.
"What are you doing?" ask Spike.
Angel still on the floor tries to pull the spear out of his arm. The immortal does the same with the metal bar in his gut. The immortal pulls his faster than Angel and goes to over to Angel. He pulls the spear out for him and attempts to stab him in the heart.
"You vampires think you're so special, but your not," says the immortal getting the spear closer to Angel's heart. Angel tires to push it away with his other hand but he seems to be failing. "You can die and I live forever."
Buffy turns around and sees the immortal try to kill Angel. That put her off guard and allows Spike to give some pay back. He tackles her picking her up over his shoulder. She smacks him on his back with both of her elbows making Spike fall to the ground and on top of her. Buffy quickly pushes Spike off her. She gets to see the immortal about to stake Angel with his spear when Pike shoots his cross bow and a stake goes into the immortals back.
"Dam..." He turns to Pike and Angel moves away from the immortal quickly. The immortal furious takes out the wooden bow.
"This can't kill me," says the immortal. He then sees Buffy and she gives him a wicked smirk. Pike turns around to catch that smirk.
All of sudden the two vampires and Pike are lifted from the ground. They become very confuse.
"What the bloody hell..." Spike says looking down at Buffy and the immortal. Buffy puts her arm around the immortal and looks up.
"Have a nice trip boys," says the immortal as the three are push through a second floor window. Pike drops his crossbow before he is thrown outside through the window.
"Oh," says Buffy walking over to the crossbow that Pike dropped. "A present for me. How sweet of them." Buffy smiles at the immortal and helps him upstairs.
