Chapter 4.........As I fall asleep again
Spike walked down the road to his crypt. He looked at the boy who was walking with him. He looked upset. Spike thought about saying something, but then decided he didn't really care. When they got to the crypt he threw a blanket on the couch, "You can sleep there" he told Aaron.
Aaron eyed the dusty couch with disgust. Is there no place cleaner?' he asked.
"Nope" Spike said annoyed, "I'm sorry if your dainty self doesn't approve of it, but it's what you got. Just be glad I'm not making you sleep on the floor" He told him.
Aaron was quiet after that and went to bed. Spike however had trouble sleeping. He kept on thinking about Buffy. She was so confusing. One minute she acted as though he was good for a fun time, and the next she acted completely disgusted with him. And then sometimes, sometimes she treated him with....with trust, with love, with tenderness.
Spike sat up and turned his lamp on. He grabbed his book off his small night stand and began to read, but couldn't take in any of the words on the page. She was there in his mind. She was haunting him. He continued trying to read until he finally gave up and put the book down.
He turned the lamp off and laid back down in bed. He tossed and turned until sleep finally took him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy walked up to her room and laid her bag on the floor by her door. Her room was dark and she couldn't see much of anything, but she felt him there. He came up behind her and put his hands on her bare shoulders, and ran them down her arms.
"Did you miss me luv?" Spike whispered in her ear. He kissed her neck below her ear, and moved slowly down to her shoulders. She turned in his arms, and clutched at his shirt. She tipped her head up and kissed him.
He walked her slowly towards the bed and they gently laid down together. He moved back to kissing her neck. She sighed with content. He moved away from her neck and their lips met once more. He pulled away and looked down at her.
His eyes that usually sparkled with blue, were a deep brown. "I'm back now" he said. His hair darkened to the same color of his eyes, and Buffy watched in horror as Spike turned into Angel. He vamped out and bit into her neck.
She opened her mouth and screamed in pain. She felt the life being drained from her. She tried to push him off of her but couldn't move. She squeezed her eyes tightly shut and felt tears trickle down her cheeks. She opened her mouth and screamed again, but nobody came.
She opened her eyes and found herself alone in her room. The sun was shining gently on her face. She was soaked with sweat from her dream. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She turned on the water for her shower and took her clothes off and stepped into the shower.
She stood under the running water for a few minutes, letting it wash the sweat from her. She looked at her arms. All the marks were almost healed, though some of them left scars. She felt a deep pain in her heart as she looked down at what she had done to her body. The pain grew as she remembered her dream.
'did you miss me luv?" he had asked her. She did. She had felt so safe in his arms, until he turned into Angel. She could still feal the pain in her neck from him biting her. She started to cry. The tears ran down her face mixing with the water.
Her legs began to wobble. She pulled back the shower curtain and stepped out. She began to feal very dizzy. She reached for her robe and put it loosely around her body. She walked out of the bathroom and looked across her hall to her room. Just two doors down, but it seemed so far. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor.
With a last effort she attempted to pull herself forward, but her arms were weak, and she succeeded only in moving a few inches. She opened her mouth to call out to Willow or Dawn, or Ezra, but they didn't come. She faintly remembered Willow talking about taking them to the Magic shop so she could sleep in. She didn't know what was happening to her. She felt like she was in her dream, having the life drained out of her. Holding her head up became an effort. She felt like the house was spinning. She let her head fall to the ground, and passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spike ran through Buffys back door, and shut it quickly behind him, and threw off his smoking brown blanket. Aaron was at the magic shop with everyone else, and Spike thought he'd come by to see Buffy.
"Buffy" He called out, no one was answered. When Willow came by and got Aaron, she said that she was giving Buffy the day off. Spike wondered if she had gone somewhere. "Buffy" he called again. Still no answer.
He went upstairs to see if She was still asleep. When he got there he found Buffy collapsed in a small heap on the floor. He ran quickly to her side, and got down on his knees by her side. She was lying face down on the floor, in her white cotton robe. He turned her around and held her in his arms.
"Buffy" he said, he got no response. He leaned his head down on her chest, her heart was beating strongly and he felt the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. "Buffy" he said again, and shook her gently.
She opened her eyes half way, and looked at him. "Spike....?" she said in a dry dazed voice, "Spike, I fell" she closed her eyes again.
Spike lifted her up in his arms and carried her to her room. He placed her gently on the bed. Her robe was opening a little, so Spike began to shut the robe. He noticed a small puncture mark in at the base of her neck where it met her shoulder.
He lifted her up towards him and looked closer at the mark. It looked like she had just gotten a shot, or something. Spike laid her gently back down, and put a small blanket over her. "I'll be right back luv" he said, and leaned down and kissed her forehead.
He ran down stairs and grabbed the phone and quickly dialed the number to the magic shop. "Magic box" The cheery yet tired voice of Willow answered the phone.
"Willow it's Spike, listen something's wrong with Buffy" Spike said into the phone. He began taping his fingers nervously on the counter.
"Spike?" Willow said confused "Something's wrong with Buffy? What? Where are you" She asked him.
"I'm at the house, listen Red, I got here and Buffy was passed out in the hallway. She has a mark on her neck, like a shot or something. Has Buffy been to the doctors lately?" Spike explained what happened.
"Um, not that I know of. Listen, I'll have Anya close the magic shop, we'll be there soon" Willow said.
Spike hung up the phone. A dreadful thought entered his mind. He remembered the marks on Buffys arms. What if Buffy had done this to herself? He shook the thought away. Buffy said she stopped. He had to believe her. He had to trust that she wanted to live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"And I'm here again" Buffy said as she sat down next to Faith on the ground.
"You got to stop coming here B" Faith said. "I can't rest as long as you return" she said. Then she smiled, "But hey, as long as your here, wait, why are you here?" she asked.
Buffy thought for a moment, "I don't know, I think something happened, I don't really care though" she said.
A pond formed in front of them. From the pond a woman came. She rose slowly out of the water, though she did not appear to be wet. She had long hair as black as a ravens feather falling freely below her waist. Her face was pale with pink lips delicately shaped below a round nose. Her eyes sparkled with green intensity.
She wore a long dress made out of some thin cotton material, it was a dark shade of green. She wore no shoes. She stepped towards them. "Who are you" Faith asked.
At this question was asked, Buffy began to fear the woman. Though she was beautiful, she looked evil. The woman waved her hand and Faith disappeared.
"I have come searching for the one" The woman said. Her voice came out like a song.
Buffy knew exactly who she was looking for. She was looking for Ezra. She stood up "The one. The one you so loosely cast out of your little clan?" she said angry.
"We do not loosely cast out anyone of our people. She is dangerous. She has a beloved treasure of my people. It was given to her at birth. We must have it back, It belongs with us" the woman said. Her voice came out sad now, as if on the brink of tears.
For a moment, Buffy wanted to give her this treasure she spoke of. Why not give it to this kind woman, her people needed it. But then she saw something in the woman's eyes. A glint. A glint that screamed for power.
"You can kiss your treasure good bye" Buffy said, "You let it go when you cast out Ezra" She stared at the woman.
The woman's eyes grew dark, she seemed to grow several inches. Gray clouds blocked out the sun, and lighting and thunder struck. Wind blew the woman's hair back and it whipped out around her face like serpents. Her dress flew out behind her. "Fool!" she shouted, "I was not asking, you give it to me or you die slayer. And your time is ticking"
With that the woman disappeared and the clouds went away. The sun shone brightly on the pond. And Buffy woke up.
