thoughts: I'm sorry it took so long to update this! I've just been lazy and more interested in writing my other story, Horrorland. This is also very short out of all of my other chapters. But still, R & R! Thanks anyways. And I got a new internet! Called arczip. And I know the password. Hehehe. Take that dad!



Scene 1

"Whoa whoa! Hold up mate!" Spike said, shielding Buffy. "What are you doing?" Beonca beamed.

"Of course soft little William is going to protect his true love. Always did. Always will. Because you're no vampire, you're love's bitch. And you always will be. If you didn't protect a girl it means you don't like her, or at least it's that way with you. Move or you'll be able to fit into an ash tray."

"No." Spike tripped her by kicking her in the legs hard. "Sorry sis, just wasn't ment to be." He picked up Buffy and ran to her house, Angel on his tail.

"You can't run forever William!" Beonca yelled. They ran in her house, slamming the door behind them.

"Oops." Spike said and laid Buffy down on the couch.

"Oops what?" Dawn asked, then seeing Buffy's leg. "What happened?!"

"Beonca is not as innocent as she looks." Spike answered.

"Yea, we know, Jacko just now got around to telling us." Willow said. Spike ran and got a wet cloth and put it over Buffy's wound.

"Yea, sorry." Jacko said, looking into the light and counting the little spots in his eyes.

"Oh god, what do we do?" Willow panicked.

"Don't worry Willow, I see you panick, it's not good." Buffy said, pulling back the pain.

"You're acting like it's some sort of paper ball rolling in the street!" Willow said.

"Because it is! I'll recover. And if I do die, which I won't, do you plan on doing a spell and bringing me back because you can't stand a couple of tears?" Buffy asked irritated.

"No! Well, I don't know." Willow said.

"You never know." Buffy said.

"Save the fight for later luv, you need your energy." Spike said.

"And when did you start becoming a nurse?" Angel asked.

"Shut-up!" Spike yelled.

"Ooh, cat fight." Jacko said, trying to push away the spots in front of his eyes.

"Shut-up!" Spike yelled at Jacko.

"Rrreow!" Jacko hissed.

"Shut-up both of you." Buffy said.

"Look, what happened?" Dawn yelled, trying to stop the pety bicarring.

"Um, Beonca was trying to kill Drusilla, accidently stabbed Buffy's leg, then killed Drusilla." Angel said.

"OK, now we're getting some where." Dawn said, looking out of the window.



Scene 2

"Beonca hasn't come back all night." Angel said to Buffy when everyone was asleep. Jacko was snorring and Spike was sleeping.

"Maybe she gave up." Buffy said, laying down, eyes closed. Spike was right next to Jacko's chair, sleeping. He kicked Jacko over on his chair with out even stirring or opening an eyelid.

"What happened?" Jacko asked, opening his eyes wide, then started snorring again.

"And those are the rocket scientists of today." Buffy joked.

"If they were, Earth would be knocked off course." Angel remarked. "But I don't think she would give up that easily, she seemed pretty destined to kill Drusilla and succeeded."

"And that's why you're still up."

"No, since Einstien over there isn't up, I guess I'm pretty much stuck with protecting you."

"Pretty much? Is it that much of a chore?"

"No, not at all."

"Then why the irritation?"

"None at all."

"Yea right."

"Buffy, if you are unaware of it, I'm still in love with you, I would do anything to have you back."

"Then why didn't you stay? Too late now, I love Spike more."

"What an insult."

"Only from your point of view. But from others, they like it more."

"Why is that?"

"Because they know Spike won't cause me heartache and leave."

"Because they're supposed to."

"You have no idea what you're saying Angel. I love Spike. So why are you wasting your time with me? Leave."

"Later."

"Can't wait."

"Why is that?"

"Because you'll leave again, and this time, no worries."

"You sure?"

"Possitive."

"Why?"

"Why with the whys?"

"Just wanna know."

"Then I'm possitive because I don't love you."



Scene 3

"Carma carma carma carma carma carmeleon." Jacko sang, waking everyone that was sleeping downstairs. "Great, now that you all are awake... PUT MY CHAIR UP!" Jacko yelled.

"Nah, I like it more like this." Spike said, streching.

"Oh, I'm sorry that you like this more." Jacko replied.

"For crying out loud." Buffy put Jacko's chair up."

"Hey, where's peaches?" Spike asked.

"Don't know, he was still here when I went to sleep." Buffy replied, looking around.

"How's your wound?" Spike asked.

"Better, it's not like I broke a bone, thankfully. At least it doesn't hurt as much anymore." Buffy replied.

"Good." Spike walked over and sat next to Buffy. He gave her a long kiss.

"Ooh, kissy kissy." Jacko said. Spike stopped.

"Why don't we just kill him and get it over with?" Spike asked, practically voluteneering to stake Jacko.

"Look, Jacko broke out of mental hospitals and clinics out of his craziness. He's not doing it again, not in my hands. Until he's not nutsy, he's staying here, besides, everyone doesn't wanna kill him." Buffy replied.

"What makes you so sure he can't brake out of those ropes?" Spike asked.

"Because, Beavus, they did a spell on these god damn ropes!" Jacko said.

"See. And we're all kind of friends with Jacko, wierd enough." Buffy replied.

"I'll be your best friend if you get me some blood?" Jacko asked.

"Shut-up." Spike kicked Jacko's chair over again.

"That's it! We are not friends anymore!" Jacko yelled.

"And...I care." Spike said, biting out of his blood packet.

"I'm going to the Magic Box guys, see ya." Buffy grabbed her coat and walked out the door.

"You know what game defines you, Jacko?" Spike asked.

"What?" Jacko asked back.

"Does bar...bar...lemon come into mind?" Spike asked.



Scene 4

"Hey, Buff! Haven't seen you in a while." Xander said, seeing Buffy walk in.

"Yea, was kinda busy, you know, with Drusilla and Angel stuff." Buffy replied, sitting down.

"Buffy, you're limping, what's wrong?" Anya asked.

"Oh, nothing, just that Spikes sister came and wanted to kill Drusilla and accidently cut my leg then killed Drusilla and she wanted to kill me and Angel left... again." Buffy said more than quickly.

"Well, ok." Anya replied.

"She cut you? Let's have a look see." Xander said, looking down at her leg. Buffy lifted her pants leg, showing nothing but white wrapped around her wound that Spike did.

"Spike did it; helped it." Buffy replied, putting her pants leg back down.

"Oh, well, he did a, uh, good job." Xander commented.

"So, what is the agenda of today?" Anya asked.

"Let's see... absolutly nothing." Buffy replied.

"What do we do with Jacko now?" Xander asked.

"He stays with us. Until, you know, he's a little sane." Buffy replied.

"Oh." Xander said.

"Is today Saturday or something?" Buffy asked.

"Yea, I.... think." Xander said. "Other wise I wouldn't be here."

"What fo you mean? You never go to work." Anya said.

"Hey! Sh-Shut-up!" Xander replied.



Scene 5

Dawn and Willow woke up a little later. Dawn came down stairs and started blasting her boom box, playing City High.

"Uh! How can you stand that bloody music? Here, is real music." Spike took out Dawn's cd and flew it across the room, putting in Linkin Park.

"Hey, I never heard this song before." Dawn said.

"That's because I'm in LP Underground, I got their cd when they were only called Hybrid Theory." Spike replied.

"Hey, I liked City High better." Jacko whined.

"That's because you're a girl, Jacko." Spike replied, turning up the boom box.

"Where's Willow?" Dawn asked.

"Who knows, last time I saw her was 2 hours ago, around 12:00." Spike replied.

"Raah!" Willow screamed, slashing the demon in his stomach.

"Niffery." The demon said and fell down.

"Cool!" Willow cheered. "I killed a demon! Alright!" Willow started to feel woozy. "I've gotta get home." Willow walked out of the alley and headed towards her house, stumbling.

"Willow!" Dawn called as the witch walked through the door.

"I don't feel good." Willow said and fell, Spike caught her just in time.

"Call Buffy, Willow doesn't look right." Spike said and set Willow down on the couch.

"One more time." Xander said.

"OK, rock, paper, scissors!" Buffy said and stuck out her hand. "Paper covers rock." Xander slammed his hand down.

"OK, once more." Xander pleaded.

"Xander, we've played 15 times now and you keep doing rock." Buffy said and got up from the table. The phone rang.

"Hello, Magic Box, how can I be of service to you?" Anya asked, picking up the phone.

"Anya? It's Willow, something's wrong with her. Get Buffy here." Dawn said.

"OK, Buffy! It's Dawn." Anya handed Buffy the phone.

"Hello?" Buffy asked.

"Yea, Buffy, come home, it's Willow." Dawn answered and hung up the phone.

"I've gotta go guys, something about Willow." Buffy got on her coat and ran out of the Magic Box.



Scene 6

"Wake up!" Jacko screamed in Willow's face.

"Hey!" Spike pushed Jacko's chair across the room.

"Bloody good show ol' chap, cheerio!" Jacko yelled.

"Jacko, you don't have a British accent." Dawn said.

"Oh, well look at that." Jacko said, Buffy running in.

"What?" Buffy asked. "Willow! What's wrong?" Willow woke up slowly.

"Big demon guy... killed... he said Niffery." Willow stuttered.

"Well now you wake up!" Jacko said annoyed.

"You killed a demon? What did he look like?" Buffy asked.

"He looked... big and green. Bumpy, slimy." Willow replied, still woozy.

"And he said Niffery? OK, that's a bit wierd." Buffy scratched her head.

"Look, is that your guy?" Jacko asked, looking over at an open magic book. Buffy grabbed it away from Jacko.

"How did you get this book, and turn the pages? Your hands are tied up." Buffy asked, reading the desciption.

"Don't know. It scared me too when the book was right in back of me on the table already turned to that page." Jacko said quickly.

"OK... Willow, is that the demon dude?" Buffy asked.

"Yea." Willow replied, closing her eyes.

"OK. Well it says he's a 5,000 year old demon originated in Arabia. He used to be human, but got transformed by another demon. But before he was forced to leave the country, he had a love. Tall and beautiful, probably still lives today, she's immortal, like she can't die of old age. She has stayed a certain look for 5,000 years, like she's in her 20's. Look, here's a picture. It doesn't show, but she has vibrant red hair. And the demon you slayed Willow, was looking for her. He was asleep for 4,999 and once he woke up, he only had one goal. To find her. Her name was Niffery. And who ever got in her way, he killed. But looks like you killed him first, Wil." Buffy said.

"It's either I need glasses, or that girl looks exactly like you, Willow." Dawn said, squinting at the picture in the thick book.

"I have theory, wanta hear?" Spike asked. "Well, it doesn't matter, but what if he thought Willow was his bloody luv, Niffery?" Spike asked. Everyone looked at him. "What?"



Scene 7

"What if Spike is right? What if that demon thing thought Willow was his true love?" Buffy asked at night to Jacko. Everyone went to sleep, even Spike. But only Buffy and Jacko were awake now.

"So what? What does it matter now?" Jacko asked.

"Because, it says that who ever kills him will have some sort of curse or sickness put on them. But only one person can kill him without getting some sort of sickness or curse. His true love." Buffy replied.

"And? Who cares. Since she's not his true love, she'll get diseased."

"No, that's not just it. If he thought that Willow was his true love, which she's not, the curse is going to get all scrambled up. And not in a good way."

"So..."

"So if Spike's theory is right, we need to get Willow to the hospital right away."

"Then let's go! Road trip!"

"It's not really a road trip if we're going to the hospital, and you're not coming."

"What?? No fair."

"Yes, it is, I'm going to get Dawn and Spike." Buffy ran upstairs and woke up Dawn. "Where's Spike?" Buffy asked, coming down the stairs. She walked in the kitchen.

"So... do I get an award or something?" Spike asked, smoking a cigerette.

"You heard, let's go!" Buffy said. Spike picked up Willow and brought her out to the car. Dawn came down stairs minutes later dressed. Everyone, exsept poor old Jacko, got in the car and drove off to the hospital.
