I couldn't resist putting Spike's speech from "Touched" in here. Most of it anyway. I just wanted to say that I don't own it. I don't really own anything unfortunately. Happy Valentine's Day!

Chapter 3

"You can't keep me here." Buffy said after she woke up to find herself chained to a bed. Spike took her back to Wolfram and Hart and brought her to Angel's room instead of taking her to his apartment.

"Actually I can. I have to make you realize the truth." Buffy glared at him.

"Yeah, I'm realizing that you're psychotic. Let me go!" She exclaimed as she pulled on the chains and he shook his head.

"Can't do that, love. Not even you would be able to break these babies. So, I would suggest that you stop trying if you don't want to hurt yourself." Buffy gave up and sat back in the bed.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked in a small voice and Spike's look softened.

"I want to help you remember. You have to focus, love. There has to be some part of you that still knows who I am." Buffy thought about it.

"I admit you do look familiar, but that's it. I just figured you had one of those faces." Spike nodded when Angel then walked into the room and grabbed Spike's arm as he pulled him away to talk in private.

"What did I say about the kidnapping?" He asked and Spike shrugged.

"I got her here, didn't I?" Angel sighed.

"Did you have to chain her up?" Spike then let a smile from on his face.

"It wouldn't be the first time I've used chains on her." Angel rolled his eyes.

"I'm not even gonna ask. Have you made any progress?" Spike shook his head.

"Not much, she thinks Lindsey's her boyfriend and that I'm psychotic." He explained.

"Well, she got part of it right." Spike glared at him, but didn't say anything. "You stay here and try to get through to her. I'm going to look for Lindsey. He's the only one that knows what's wrong with her, whether I like it or not." Spike nodded as Angel left. He went back into the bedroom to join Buffy. She seemed to be lost in thought when he went back in there and he was wondering what she was thinking about.

I've been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine, and done things I prefer you didn't. I don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong bloody calls. 100+ years and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of: You. When I say"I love you" it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.

Buffy broke out of her thoughts to look at him. "Spike?" She whispered. "That's your name, right?" Spike nodded and remained silent. "You're a vampire?" Spike nodded again.

"I see that's the first thing you remember." Buffy nodded also.

"You have a soul? I didn't know that was possible." Spike sat down next to her.

"Yeah, Angel and I are both with the soul having. Do you remember anything else?" Buffy shook her head.

"I can't, my head hurts. I don't understand any of this." She said and Spike reached out and massaged her temples. She closed her eyes and felt comfort from his touch. She opened her eyes a few seconds later to look into his. He then caressed her cheek.

"Maybe this will help." He said as he brought his lips closer to hers and kissed her. She kissed him back after a few seconds. She suddenly pulled away and shook her head.

"No, I can't. I still don't know you." She said as she looked into his eyes again. "I'm with Lindsey. I...I love him." She said not seeming so sure and Spike sighed. He knew he was starting to make progress, but it wasn't enough.

"I love you, Buffy. I should have come to you the second I realized I could. I keep thinking that if I did none of this would have happened. You remember those last few nights we spent together in Sunnydale before the battle? You remember when you said you loved me? I may not have believed it then, but I would give anything to hear it right now. You have to remember, Buffy." Buffy looked away from him and then felt tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I don't. I don't know what you want from me." Spike cupped her cheek and brought her gaze back on his.

"I only want you." Buffy was about to say something else when she suddenly felt dizzy. She held her head to try and stop the spinning.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked him when she then passed out on the bed. Spike went closer to her to feel that she still had a pulse. He grabbed the key for the chains and unchained her as he felt her head. She was burning up and Spike was really starting to get worried. He figured that Lindsey was the only one that would know what was wrong with her. He really hoped Angel would hurry up and find him before it was too late.
