The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 12 Pt. 2

(Scene 1: Spike walks back into the living room.)

Buffy: Who was it?

Spike: No one. (Anya walks in.)

Anya: You are very, very rude.

Spike: Said the pot to the kettle.

Buffy: You slammed the door on Anya? (Derek walks in.)

Spike: No, I slammed the door on him. (Buffy stands up.)

Buffy: Derek.

Derek: Buffy, I was worried about you (Spike rolls his eyes.) and this very nice friend of yours showed me where to find you. She also hinted that your sister needed medical assistance so I brought my medical bag.

Anya: I did a good deed. You can all praise me now. (Buffy walks up to Derek.)

Buffy: Thank you Anya and thank you Derek. I'll show you where she is. (Buffy and Derek walk up stairs. Spike watches them.)

Spike: Something isn't right about him.

Xander: Could it perhaps be his pulse?

Spike: Could be, but I don't think that's it.

Tara: I know what Spike means.

Anya: Well you're all wrong. He's a perfectly nice guy. Extremely attractive. There's something about him that just draws me in.

Xander: I'm sitting right here.

Anya: I know, but it's true. Something about his eyes.

Xander: OK we're going home before you can spend any more time with the good doctor. Anyway I promised Willow I'd help her move her stuff in our extra room.

Anya: Which reminds me. Tell Dawn to get un-homicidal as soon as possible.

Xander: OK, lets go. (Xander and Anya leave. Tara gets up and walks into the kitchen. Spike sits down and starts taping his thigh.)

Spike: Something's not right, Buffy, but don't worry, big bad can fix that.

(Scene 2: Tara is in the kitchen, she's looking in the refrigerator when someone suddenly grabs her from behind. They put a rag over her mouth and she slowly passes out. Then they began taking her out of the house.)

(Scene 3: Buffy is sitting in front of Dawn holding her hand while Derek is stitching her laceration.)

Dawn: Buffy I didn't mean to do. ..

Buffy: I know it's all right.

Dawn: But the. . .

Buffy: The glass that cut you. It's all right really. It was mistake. (Buffy gives Dawn a look and Dawn gets quiet.)

Derek: OK almost done. (Derek rubs something on Dawn's stitches and then puts a bandages on her.) There we go.

Buffy: Thank you Derek.

Dawn: (Dawn turns to Derek.) Thank you.

Derek: My pleasure. (When Derek smiles, Dawn gives him a weird look and then looks down.)

Buffy: Can I have a few moments alone with my sister, Derek? I'll meet you downstairs.

Derek: Sure. (Derek walks out.)

Dawn: (Dawn turns to Buffy.) It was the only way Buffy. Seeing what I did to Spike and Tara, I had to do something.

Buffy: I know, but next time can you give me a heads up before you sever yourself? You scared the hee bee gee bees out of me.

Dawn: I think whatever I did worked. I haven't had anymore black outs and no one else is hurt.

Buffy: Always a good sign. I'm proud of you Dawn. (Dawn smiles and they hug.)

Dawn: How is Spike doing?

Buffy: He's dead, but he was dead before you stabbed him so he's fine. Now that you mention it I should probably get downstairs before Spike does something well, Spike like to Derek.

Dawn: Derek's nice, but I have this weird feeling about him.

Buffy: He's safe and he helped you. That's all that matters.

(Scene 4: Derek walks outside to the back porch. Spike is sitting down smoking a cigarette. He stands up and flings his cigarette on the ground.)

Spike: Derek right? (Spike begins to crack his knuckles.)

Derek: Right. (Spike puts his hands around Derek's neck.)

Spike: No, I don't think so. (Derek struggles to breathe.) You might pull the wool over to ladies' eyes, but I know your not who you say you are. Now either you tell me who you are or better yet what in bloody hell you are or your as good as dead.

Derek: I doubt that. (Derek's eyes turn yellow.)

Spike: You! (Derek punches Spike. Spike goes to punch him, but Derek grabs his fist.)

Derek: Not even you can protect her. No one can. (Derek throws Spike against one of the trees to the ground and then goes back inside and locks the door. Spike is left unconscious.)

(Scene 5: Buffy walks down the stairs. She looks around.)

Buffy: Xander? Tara? Spike? (Buffy jumps a little when she sees Derek sitting on the couch. He stands up when he sees Buffy.)

Derek: Buffy.

Buffy: Derek, where's everyone?

Derek: They left. (Derek walks over to Buffy and circles her. Buffy gets a little suspicious.)

Buffy: Really, well I have money so I can try to pay you for what you did for my sister.

Derek: (Derek gets behind her and whispers in her ear.) I don't want your money.

Buffy: What?

Derek: She will do just fine. (Derek grabs Buffy. He puts his arm around her neck and one of his hands on her stomach.) There's no fighting her destiny slayer so don't try.

Buffy: Sorry. (Buffy elbows him in the face to get out of the headlock and then knees him.) No can do! (She runs to the door and the doorbell rings. She opens the door and Harmony is standing there holding a tied up Tara. Harmony is about to bite Tara.)

Harmony: Hey Buff can I come in?

Buffy: Harmony let Tara. . . (Derek injects her in the neck and Buffy falls into his arms.)

Derek: I told her not to fight it. (Harmony smiles.) Slayers, they never listen.
