Confrontations
CHAPTER NINE
Spike turned the key in the door, he had come back to his parents house to see Dawn. She'd had called him and when he sounded so happy she demanded to know what had happened.
Dawn and Spike had always been close, it was more than a twin thing. They looked out for each other no matter how much it annoyed the other one.
"Dawnie?" Spike shouted up the stairs when he found the living room empty.
Dawn came bounding down the stairs and wrapped her arms around her brother's neck, "Spike."
"Hey little bit how you doin'"
She scowled at him she hated being called little bit, but Spike insisted on it because he was three and a half minutes older than her. But never being able to stay mad at her brother Dawn's scowl turned into a big smile.
"I thought you were never coming back here. Anyway I want to know what's happened to make you of all people cheery."
"Are you trying to say I'm grump?" He said throwing himself down on to the sofa.
"Yes now continue." Dawn said getting in to her favourite gossiping position, crossed legs facing Spike.
"Well you know prom queen, we're kinda gettin' it on. Don't know where it's goin' just yet but I really like her."
The smiles and hugs and words of encouragement he'd expected hadn't come, Dawn's face was a blaze with anger, "So it worked." She muttered.
"What worked?" Spike asked hearing the comment and feeling very confused.
Dawn stood up and threw her arms into the air, Spike knew this was never a good sign, "The firkin' bimbo charm she was working on you."
"Hold on Dawn you don't even know her." Spike immediately jumped to the defence of his new woman. Dawn was shocked, Spike always took her side but this only fuelled her anger.
"I know enough to know she's a skanky ho."
The twins were both stood facing each other now, anger coming from both of them, they had never fought like this. It was new and it worried them both. Spike decided to leave, if he went they could both calm down think about things.
"I'm going, call me when you've calmed down. I like Buffy and that's it." With that he stormed out the door.
As he walked down the street he heard Dawn shouting to him, begging for him to come back.

Giles stalked the hallways, hoping that he would find Ms Summer. He had been able to obtain a timetable for the University registry, just about now she should be leaving a history lecture.
He saw her, he had no idea what he was going to say but he would have to think quick the time was here and he couldn't waste it. It didn't help that he didn't like the girl.
"Ms Summers do you think I could talk with you?" He asked when he approached her.
"Sure." She answered and he quickly pulled her into a side room.
"I am going to tell you something quite unbelievable but it is important that you do believe it."
"What that I'm your best student?" She smiled blowing a bubblegum bubble.
Giles gritted his teeth, this girl was a nightmare.
"No. I believe that you are the Slayer."
"I'm the what?"
"The Slayer, the one girl in all the world chosen to fight the vampires. I saw you fighting yesterday and your skill is that possessed by a Slayer. Now if you will come with me I will explain it all." Giles said, trying not to think about how annoying the girl was.
"Yeah whatever, you know you should really see a doctor." She went to leave the room.
"You stupid girl you really don't have any idea how important you are do you. Now I suggest you listen to me."
A look of horror passed on her face, he had just called her stupid.
"I'm leaving now."
Giles grabbed her arm, "Ms Summers you really do not have a choice."
Fear passed over her, this man was crazy, bigger than her and she was trapped in this small room with his. She pulled his over her and he landed on the floor, groaning. She was shocked, since when did she have this sort of strength?
Since she became the Slayer.

Navocof laughed, "Looks like the game has begun."
His minions looked confused, "Sir?"
"It seems the council have found the Slayer, in a few hours we will find her." Navocof laughed again. Sparing CHAPTER TEN
Buffy had spent the afternoon with Giles, after he had recovered from his little fall he had explained everything to her. It sounded real, it felt real, but still something played on her mind. She needed to talk to someone and here she was alone in this strange country. Sure she'd made friends but who could she tell about this.
Spike, he might laugh be he wouldn't run away, she hoped.
She pressed the button to call his cell phone. He was going to think she was crazy.
"'Ello." Spike answered.
"Hey Spike could I ask you something."
"Sure."
"How seriously do you take Giles with all that Vampire stuff?"
"Well it must have some point or why would they let him teach it. What's this about."
Spike heard Buffy burst into tears on the other end of the phone.
"Wait a minute pet I'll be round."
Spike put the phone down grabbed his duster and headed out towards Buffy's room.
~*~
When he got on to the corridor on which Buffy lived he saw that her door was open he ran straight in. He saw her on her bed, head in hands still crying.
"What's up pet." Spike asked wrapping his arms around her, he felt an uncontrollable urge to just keep her safe and make things better.
Buffy didn't answer, all she did was sob.
"Buffy tell me." He said shaking her slightly. He pulled her hands away from her face forcing her to look at him.
"You know the Slayer, well according to Giles I'm the Slayer. It's my duty to protect the world for evil vampires." She said still sobbing.
Spike felt like laughing at her, she was so upset because some mad old professor took his job a bit to seriously.
"Tell me what gives him that idea? He's mental, ignore him."
This didn't seem to help, in fact she started to cry all the more.
"No Spike, something is weird. I'm like super strong. I threw Giles over my head."
Spike didn't know how to answer her, she was right she was strong and he had the bruises to prove it. When she had punched him last night it had hurt like hell and this morning the nurse had told him he had a cracked rib.
"Right then love come on, you can show me."
~*~
Spike had taken Buffy out on to the grassy area where they had filmed their assignment, let her beat out some of that pain.
After a while she loosened up, but there was no way spike could deny that she had some sort of power. She ran so fast, she was strong, she was skilled, everything a good fighter should be. But he could feel that she was more than a fighter more like a warrior.
"You feelin' better love?" Spike asked as he dodged a punch.
"A bit. Thanks for doing this Spike."
"No problem for you."
She stopped and started to circle Spike, "Do you think I'm the Slayer Spike?"
'Where did that come from' he thought. He looked at her what did he say to that. The truth, "Yeah pet I do."
She nodded, she knew it to, she could feel it. When Giles had explained all about the Slayer to her she felt as if the missing thing in her life had been put into place. Like she had found the meaning of life.
"Yeah. It's weird but at the same time it's kinda cool as well!" Buffy said before bursting in fits of laughter.
The sound of her little giggles was like music to Spike, to see her happy. Strange how he'd only known her for a few days and it already felt like this. He was sure that he loved her. She was the first girl that he wanted to protect as much as Dawn she was the first girl who he would not just accept what Dawn had to say about her.
Looking into her eyes it was clear. He was in love.
~*~
Hiding in the shadows Navocof and one of his minions watched the couple sparing. It was a dance a beautiful, romantic and violent dance.
"I think we have a way in."
"Sir?"
"She has a weakness, that boy, she loves him and I will take him from her."
"As usual an excellent plan sir."
"I know. I am going to make her want to die."
They continued watching the couple spar, enjoying the dance they performed.
