Please don't steal my story. I would have to cry.
"Come on slayer, live dangerously. It won't kill you." Spike said, following her like lost puppy yet again on one of her nightly patrols.
"Spike, I'm the slayer. I slay things. I live dangerously ever night."
"No you don't. if you did you'd understand what I've been trying to tell you for the past year. Does nothing get through that stubborn scull of yours? Because I'm really getting tired of this charade you're trying to pull off."
Buffy opened her mouth to respond to one of Spikes usual insults, but was interupted by a very scared Willow. "Buffy!" She bent over and put her hands on her knees breathing deeply. "They've.taken over.the.warehouse."
"They? Who's they?"
Willow stood up and locked eyes with Buffy. "Every demon you could ever imagine is there. At least all the BAD ones."
"No way. How is that possible."
"I can't explain it right now, but I need you AND Spike to come back to the magic shop with me. Anya and Xander are there now.I don't know if there's anything we can do about this Buffy."
"Don't worry about it Will we'll figure out something. We always do."
They got to the magic shop and the mood was even worse than what Willow had shown in the graveyard. Xander and Anya looked up at them as they walked through the door and the looks on their faces gave Buffy a small taste of just how serious the situation was.
"Ok give me the info." Buffy said, sitting down at the round table in the middle of the room and folding her hands in front of her.
"Buffy, this sin't something that you can explain in five minutes. It's serious. I don't think we can beat this." Xander glanced at Anya and she nodded her head for him to continue. "Wesley called here about an hour ago and he was really worried. No that's not the word for it, he was scared out of his wits. As it turns out there's a scroll with a prophecy."
"Xander there's always a scroll with a prophecy."
"Yeah I know, but not all prophecies predict the downfall of the slayer." Buffy frowned at that and so did spike, but she didn't notice. Of course she rarely noticed anything where he was concerned.
"What else did he say?"
"He said that he and the rest of the gang there will be headed to sunnydale as soon as possible because if there's any chance of beating this prophecy it's with them here. Even then Buffy the chances are really small."
Spike sat down in the chair beside her. "What about the demons in the warehouse?"
"They're part of the prophecy. I don't know all of the details. Wesley is going to be bringing the scrolls with him when he comes."
"So Angel's coming to is he?" Spike asked.
"Spike, this isn't the time for yout jealous antics. There are more important things to worry about then who's got Buffy's attention." Xander stated angrily.
"If you would let me finish. I was about to say that I'm glad Angel is coming because from what I've heard about the Grandock prophecy we're going to need all the strength we can get."
"How did you know that's what it's called?" Xanda asked suspiciously.
"It doesn't take a genuis.genuis. Eveyrone in the demon world knows about the gathering. I'' surprised Angel didn't say something about it. Then again he has been out of the loop for a while."
"Who cares about that! What do you know about this prophecy?" Buffy angrily banged the table and caused a big hole.
"scared a bit are yuh luv?"
"Spike."
"Ok.Ok.All I know is that there is a certain day where every evil gathers together and plots the destruction of the final slayer."
"The final slayer? But, I thought everytime a slayer dies they are replaced by another slayer." Xander said, in confusion.
"He means that Buffy is the last of ALL the slayers." Anya said, looking down at a book she was reading. "If this prophecy comes to pass there will be no other slayers to follow and we will all live in a state of Hell for all of eternity."
"Oh.is that all."
"We'll fight it. I know we can beat this." Buffy said encouragingly.
"I hope you're right luv." Spike said softly as Buffy got up and walked away. "I hope your'e right."
1 Chapter 2
Wesley, Gunn, Fred, Cordelia, and angel showed up later on that night with was seemed like a full artillery.
"wow you guys brought enough weapons for an entire army." Buffy said, stepping up to them and admiring the sword Wesley handed her. "I'm guessing what we're expecting is something bad."
"That's the understatement of the century." Angel said with a gentle smile as he embraced her in a hug that they hadn't shared since they'd met after Buffy's return.
"It's good to see you. I just wish it was under better circumstances." Buffy said, hugging him back.
Spike leaned against the wall and tried to ignore the peaking jealousy that was churning in his mind. "Of course wonder boy shows up and she's and she becomes all huggy. All I get is a punch in the face."
"Hey what's Spike doing here?"
"Oh.well I wanted him here." Buffy replied to Angel's somewhat straight forward question.
"Oh are you two."
"yes, in a way. I still fight with him all the time, but it's a love hate relationship."
Angel's eyes widened. "So you're in love with him."
"With Spike? No! I mean we care about each other and he says he loves me, but I don't feel that way for him. No. No way. At all." She rambled, looking anywhere, but at Angel.
"Just be careful ok? Spike is different from most vampires."
She smiled softly and glanced at Spike. "I know that."
She walked away and angel stared after her. "she's in love with him."
"Talking to yourself Angel? That's no a good sign."
"Hello Spike. I was just talking about you to Buffy."
"Ah jealous are you?"
"No, not really. I have my hands full. I'm in no need of a relationship. Especially with someone who's already involved."
"That's right Buffy's involved. So you can forget about her.Oh you kind of just said you did.didn't you?"
Angel grinned and nodded his head. "Yeah. She's safe Spike."
They stood in awkward silence until Spike figured out what to say. "Have you heard anything about the new demon that is supposed to take out Buffy?"
"No, I didn't know there was a single demon that was supposed to do that. I thought it was supposed to be a bunch."
"There are supposed to be a bunch, but that's just because they're keeping him safe until the process is complete."
Angel Grabbed Spikes arm and pulled him towards the group of people gather around the table. "Tell them what you just told me." Spike did just that and Buffy glared at him.
"Why didn't you tell me that earlier?"
"Well I forgot about it until Angelus here showed up."
Wesley pulled out one of his books and sat it on the table. "How did you find this out Spike?"
"Well I was playing poker a couple of nights ago and some of the low lifes were talking about how excited they were about this guy's arrival."
"Let me guess you were playing for kittens." Buffy mumbled to herself as she sat back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest.
"Well did you happen to catch this demon's name?"
"Um yea.Gramgore."
Wesley's eyes lit up. "Did you say Gramgore?"
"Yeah why?"
"I've heard of this demon."
Buffy sat up straight. "Is he as dangerous as everyone made him out to be."
"well it's not like he's a cute little puppy or anything like that, but I would say he's not quite as dangerous as some of the other things you've had to face. In fact I don't really see what all the fuss is about."
"So what you're saying is."
"What I'm saying is I don't really understand why the prophecy says THIS demon will kill you because obviously it's no where near as strong as you are."
Spike shook his head. "You're wrong. It is as strong as she is and it will kill her if she's not prepared."
"Excuse my Spike, but I really don't think you're any judge of that fact. I think you ought to mind your own business and let us handle this. At least until we can find out why the prophecy says what it does."
Spike wasn't even fazed by Wesley's order. "It says what it does because it's bloody well true. If you'd get those damn books out of your ass, you'd see that things aren't always as they seem."
"Spike, we're not interested in your op."
"I'm interested. Go on Spike." Buffy said, cutting off Wesley and looked at Spike encouragingly.
"I've heard about Gramgore from other places. He likes to act as if he's weaker than you are and then he attacks. Catching you off guard and killing you in no time flat. He is the sneakiest of demons and he will know your weaknesses even before you do." When Wesley made a motion towards his books and was a bout to say something he continued. "I don't give a care what your books say. They're wrong, you're wrong and I'll be damned if I'll let him kill her just because I was too proud to say something about it."
"You're not really going to believe him." Wesley asked Buffy.
"Actually that's exactly what I'm going to do Wesley. I mean think about it. If he was going to lie about something why would it be this? He's warning me to be careful and I fully plan to listen." She turned to the rest of them. "Now I'm not afraid to die. Mostly because I've already been there and done that. But I'm not going to allow some wanna be bad ass demon kill me just because he wants to run the world. Now what I need from you guys is an idea of what'll be needed to get all this done. Spike I need you to help me with a few things back at my house. We'll be back within the hour."
Spike followed her out the shop door and caught her arm. "Why me? You could have had Angel go with you."
"Don't look into it too much Spike. I chose you because Angel is needed at the shop and I need someone strong enough to take care of themselves with me."
The house wasn't far and they reached it in no time flat. "Bloodyhell." spike said when the walked up the front porch and saw the door smashed in.
The inside of the house wasn't much better. Eferything that was important to Buffy had been destroyed and she was heart broken. "who would want to do this?"
"Do you really want an answer to that luv?" Spike asked, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder and waiting for her to shrug it off. When she didn't, he knew that something was truly wrong. "You can't be so upset over something like this. What's wrong?"
"Everything that my mom worked so hard to achieve has been destroyed. All the memories, the things that she prized the most are gone." She put her hand on Spikes and gently pulling it off her shoulder.
Spike was surprised when she kept her grip on it. "All the more reason for you to fight this thing. It has not scruples and doesn't care about what's important to you. Use your anger to beat it."
She looked at Spike and was surprised to find how much his presence comforted her. "You're right Spike. Let's go up to my room and get the weapons."
"You're inviting me up to you room? I'm honored."
Buffy grinned and shook her head. "Just get up here."
Spike hesitantly entered Buffy's room and examined his surroundings thoroughly. "I don't think I've ever been up here." He said as Buffy got inside her Chest and pulled out some stakes, and other weapons she ahd always kept hidden there.
She handed him a sword and got up off the floor. "Well now you have are you ready?"
"I'm always ready to dance luv."
As the exited the house, they were imediately bombarded by two very large and angry demons. "Hello Slayer. Our master wants to see you." The largest of the two said as they both stepped forward and grinned evilly towards them.
"we're not going without a fight you know that right?" Buffy asked setting down the big sack of weapons and pulling out an ax.
"Oh we wouldn't want it any other way."
Buffy ran towards them swinging with all her might. None of her swings made contact with the demons and it was jerked easily away from her and thrown across the street. She imediately resorted to hand to hand battle.
Spike was flung across the yard and straight into a tree, crumpling in a heap on the ground. "Spike!" Buffy yelled, before a demon punch connected with her face and sent her right next to spike on the ground.
"These demons aren't normal. We're no match for them." Spike said, holding his side and looking at Buffy.
Buffy glanced at the two creatures yet again advancing on them. "You're right. Let's get back to the magic shop."
I know there wasn't much to this chapter, but just starting out. Please feel free to tell me what you think.
"Come on slayer, live dangerously. It won't kill you." Spike said, following her like lost puppy yet again on one of her nightly patrols.
