Rouge Chapter 1
Buffy stood solidly against the giant towering mass of rock before her.
They had been tracking it for sometime, not knowing what they were going to do when they actually found it. And she was scared, terrified even.
Even with all the slayers in the world it had come down to her and her only constant, Spike.
We was standing at her side and she grabbed his hand enlacing their fingers.
"Buffy, love how exactly do you plan to fight this thing?" Spike asked looking up at it. The creature tilted it's head in confusion.
"With you." she said, turning her head to look at him. "That's how I like to fight my monsters you know."
"I know." He stated grimly "You don't think we'll make it do you?"
"Just in case…." she closed her eyes and tilted her head back, she felt his lips press against hers. She grabbed the back of his neck and deepened the kiss. Wanting it to be the last good thing she remembered.
The creature stared at the two, unable to comprehend the love, compassion and understanding between the two.
Buffy pulled back, her forehead resting against his, they stared into each other's eyes.
"I love you." she said her voice cracking
" Love you too Slayer." he whispered wiping a tear off her cheek.
In unison they pulled back twisting around to fight this thing that they had been pitted against so unfairly.
The Beast understood they were ready.
And they fought.
