rate: PG-13 (for non-graphic...things)

genre: Horror and romance

summary: Spike and Buffy have a run in on a demon and that demon costs them their lives in a suspicious place.

thoughts: Yet another story of mine. It like only took me half an hour to write this, I know, I'm cheap. But any who, I was inspired by a cd rom game I have called Alice when she goes back to Wonderland and everything is screwed up. I was also inspired by the Labyrinth, strange huh? Not just the Labyrinth, this girl wrote a fan fiction about Spike and Buffy and them in the Labyrinth, it was so cool! Look it up on geocities or something, her username is Vampy and her site thingy should be called Vampy Index or something like that. Well, anyways, read and review and flames if you want because with out flames, I think you wouldn't really know what people think on your story to make it better. People that don't want flames don't wanna face the facts on what their story really is.

"Slayer, we need to talk!" Spike said, running up to Buffy at the cemetery. Buffy rolled her eyes and kept walking. He pulled her shoulder and turned her to face him.

"What do you want?" Buffy asked irritated.

"You know exactly what I want. We have to talk." Spike replied.

"What ever it is, I don't care! Leave me alone! I'm tired and I want to go to bed." Buffy started walking away.

"Need an escort?" Spike asked.

"Go away."

"Make me."

"What do you want?" Buffy turned around and faced him.

"You to...run away!" Spike sprinted off.

"Don't mind if I do." Buffy turned back around to go home but was face to face with a big, red, horned demon. Buffy kicked him in the stomach and shocks of pain went through her leg. She got the point of Spike and ran off to follow him, back in the cemetery. "What the hell was that?" Buffy asked, running next to him.

"What do you think? A big, red demon!" Spike panted. They made into the woods and lost the demon. "I think he's gone."

"Where are we?" Buffy asked, looking around. "Haven't been around here before."

"Look, there's a cave, we have to stay there for the night, that big demon thing might come back." Spike said, pointing to a small opening of a cave. Buffy wanted to object, but figured he was right and went in the cave.

"Well, this is cozy." Buffy said, looking around the small space she had. Spike came in next, on hands and feet.

"At least the demon won't be able to bite our heads off, maybe with his claws, but his head wouldn't fit in." Spike said, looking around with Buffy.

"Just get this night over with."

"Don't mind." Buffy tried laying down but wasn't used to sleeping on hard stone and rocks. Spike on the other hand seemed to be getting along quite well. Since he had nothing to do, he closed his eyes. He could still hear Buffy's uncomfortable movements. It lasted for 10 minutes. He got fed up with it and grabbed her, slowly laying her body down on his stomach, head on his chest. She didn't complain, it was very comfortable and warm on his chest and she stopped making her little movements.

"Comfy, luv?" Spike asked her after awhile.

"Mhm." Buffy said, eyes closed. Spike started pulling his fingers through her hair, she still didn't complain. Buffy comfortably rubbed her head against his chest in reply.

**********

Spike woke up early the next morning, seeing his slayer had moved her way up under his chin. He smiled, wishing it were that way all of the time. She woke up to and looked up at him. She moved away quicky, knowing that she should but all of her wanted to still be on his warm chest.

"Sleep well?" He asked.

"Unfortunately yes." She replied, yawning. "Gotta go home now." She crawled out of the cave but saw just a few feet away, the big, red, horned demon sleeping. She crawled back in hastily. "Or not." Spike smiled. Another few hours. Thank God. He thought. Buffy started browsing around the small cave, seeing if any animal was in there.

"Hey, Spike, you've gotta see this." Buffy said, looking down at something. He crawled up next to her and saw it too. A big hole in the ground. Not just any hole, it had clocks and rocking chairs flying around.

"What the hell?" Spike mumbled. Buffy threw a rock in it. Spike threw a rock at a clock, the clock started spinning and fell in mid air, deep in the hole.

"What is this?" Buffy asked, putting a hand in it.

"Don't know." Spike couldn't help it, he bent over and started kissing Buffy tenderly, allowing his tongue in her mouth. She allowed him. He pushed her against the wall, hoping to deepen the kiss. She put her hand on the back of his head and pulled him closer. They got a little to close to the hole and fell in it. Buffy pushed away instantly.

"What the hell?" She yelled, falling deep in the portal.

"Cool." Spike wasn't paying attention, as he fell, he kept grabbing a clock and smashing it against the wall.

"Well thank you Eienstein!" Buffy yelled, pushing a rocking chair at him.

"Hey!" Spike pushed it back, and his body. He kicked the side of the wall and pushed himself towards Buffy, sticking his tongue down her throat. They held each other, falling, kissing.

"Oof!" They fell on a cushiony mattress.

"Where are we?" Buffy asked. They looked around. The tiles were like a chess board and the corridors were slanted.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say that we're in Wonderland." Spike answered.

"What do you mean Wonderland? More like Scaryland." Buffy was right, on the walls were blood stains and knives.

"Come on, let's go." Spike said.

"Go where?"

"How the hell should I know?" Buffy looked up, the clocks were still in midair, twirling around. There was no way back up.

"Come on, I've seen Alice in Wonderland, she followed the rabbit." Buffy said.

"What rabbit?"

"I don't know! Let's just go." They got up and walked down one corridor. It led them to a dark room.

"What are you looking for?" A deep, raspy voice asked in the darkness.

"Who said that?" Buffy whispered, jumping close to Spike.

"I did." It said again, showing only a bright, evil smile this time.

"Who are you?" Buffy muttered, behind Spike.

"Cheshire cat, you shouldn't be here, you don't belong." The cat showed himself. He wasn't stripped purple and fat. He was skinny, practically a skeleton, grey, yellow eyes, pointed ears with holes, and silver claws.

"Oh my god." Buffy said.

"You're not going to kill us, are you? Because I have you know that we are trained professionals in fighting!" Spike said.

"You look different. They will kill you once they see you. You don't look right." The cat rasped, moving around them.

"We look different? Look at you!" Buffy said, stepping out from behind Spike.

"Silenccce mortal! You are brave to come here, but your courage won't matter out there! I will help you." The cat offered.

"But I thought Wonderland was supposed to be happy and mad." Buffy said.

"Ha! Soundsss like a myth to me, or a dream. And thisss isn't Wonderland." The cat pointed at the darkness, but the a little of it lit up and showed a sign that said Horror Land. It disappeared right away, showing pitch black again.

"Horror Land? Sounds like a myth to me, or a nightmare." Buffy said, turning back to the cat. "How do we get out of here?"

"Quite simple. But in your cassse, hard like steel." The cat replied, walking up to them.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Spike asked, taking a step back.

"If you don't trussst me, then what chanccce do you have on finding some one you can trussst out there? Trussst me, I am probably the only guy you can trussst. I wouldn't be talking to you if I wasssn't trussst worthy my friend." The cat replied.

"How can you help us?" Buffy asked.

"With thisss." The cat lit up the room with just a wave of the paw and showed rows of guns and swords. "Take one each." Spike and Buffy ran up to it and grabbed one gun, one sword.

"Do we need bullets?" Buffy asked.

"No, they are everlasting." The cat answered, walking right up to them. "Now thisss isss very dangerousss, are you sure you're up to it?"

"Hell yea." Spike said.

"OK then. Onccce you get out of the door, no matter what happensss, follow the blue path. Never get side tracked. And if you do, make sure you find the road right away again. It will lead you through the foressst and onto something else. There will be enemie'sss on your way there, trying to kill you, and there will be me, checking up on you. Now no matter what you do, alwaysss have your weaponsss handy. But don't kill right away, some may be harmlesss and helpful, othersss dangerousss and in the way. Got that?"

"How do we get home?" Spike asked.

"Your destination you will know onccce you get there. Go through that door." A door suddenly appeared on one side of the room. "I leave now good bye." The cat disappeared little by little, all until his smile was left and that blurred away too.

"So, we get to be in a movie. Or, I scary movie." Buffy said.

"Yea, and we are probably the stunt men." Spike answered, pulling open the door.
