Chapter 6

Angelus ran on through the Cemertry dodging the old tombstones as he went. "You know you cant defeat her." a voice said in his ears.

"Who said that??" Angelus growled stopping dead in his tracks

"You love her to much..She will overcome you."

Angelus continued to run, the voice following him in his head. "Shut it soul boy you know I'm more powerful than you!" Angelus smirked to himself pleased he was back in control.

"You may be more powerful Angelus but she will overcome you" the voice of Angel continued inside Angelus' head.

*************************

Spike awoke dazed. He crawled from his position on the floor to the old bed in the corner of the broken down crypt. "Bloody Slayer" he murmured looking down at the hole in his shoulder. He curled up tight, wrapping his leather duster around him. Although he couldn't feel temperature he felt comforted, he slowly drifted back to sleep the pain slowly numbing and healing in his shoulder.

***************************

Buffy could sense he was close. She had been with Angel long enough to sense that it was him. "About 20ft away to the left.." She thought to herself. Trying to imagine what she was going to do when she finally faced him.

"Lover." His hushed voice drifted across the wind as she spun miss-judging his actual position.

Angelus ran at her with incredible accuracy. Before Buffy could react he kicked her to the ground, landing on top of her, hitting her in the face. A new cut appeared on her lip as his fist made impact again against her jaw. Buffy kicked off hard from the ground, forcing Angelus off of her, she stood ready, ready to kill him.

Angelus rose slowly looking deep into her beautiful green eyes. Again the voice spoke "let me take her Angelus, let me win" Buffy watched as Angelus fought an invisible force inside of him.

"Buffy.." A soft cry echoed from his mouth. "Angel??" Buffy relaxed and ran towards him"

"NO!!" Angelus fought Angel back, winning easily and had caught the slayer unaware. He spun kicking high catching Buffy across the head knocking her off balance. Quickly she retained balance and swung for him, knocking him clear to the ground.

*****************

Desimus smiled to himself as he gazed in his seeing stone. He watched as Buffy and Angelus fought on, battle after battle.

"Jetta!! It is time!" He stepped back, turning to the cauldron behind him. "We must begin now while the slayer is..occupied" Desimus smirked as he began the opening spell..

"Hi, Giles?"

"Yes, willow what is it?" Giles answered the phone.

"I-Its Buffy.. I think she's in danger" Willow calmed herself down. "Its just I havent seen her in two days, ive tried calling her but shes no answering, ive been to Angel's but the place is wrecked!" Willows fears broke lose

"Take a deep breath, now calm down, im sure Buffy is fine! Have you tried Spike?" Giles tried to calm the red-head down

"N-No"

"Well im coming with you" Giles hung up, grabbed his coat and made his way to meet willow.

*******************

Spike finally made it back to his crypt. He slumped down infront of the tv when Giles burst in.

"Hey! Ever heard of knocking!!" Spike lept from his chair, wincing in pain.

"What sort of dodgy dealings are you into these days Spike" Giles sighed nodding at Spikes shoulder.

"Your sodding Slayer did this to me!" Spike cried out, not wanting Buffy to come into any danger.

"You've seen her" Willow squealed from behind Giles.

"Yes ive bloody seen her" Spike began to tell them everything.

************

"What? The mighty Angelus has given in?" Buffy shouted at the black-clad figure who lay infront of her.

Angelus rolled again in pain. "Give in!" Angel's voce still was persuading the evil vamp to stop.

Finally he lay still. "Angelus, you better tell me what's going on. you and Spike had it all planned out so don't tell me that there ain't nothing going on." Buffy paced around the silent body.

"Buffy..Its me" Angel slowly rose, not wanting to frighten Buffy into another fight.

"Don't pull this one on me Angelus" Buffy aimed another kick at Angel's stomach, bringing him down hard.

"No, its me" Angel grimaced as he fell down to his knees. He looked up at Buffy, staring right into her eyes. She looked deep, deep enough to see the soul, deep enough to see the love..
