disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this fanfiction. They either belong to Joss Whedon or the creators of a cd rom game called Alice; soon to be a movie in another 3 years. But I own Doosle Keleprity and the skeleton dudes.

title: Horrorland

chapter: 3 Stay on the Path

rate: PG-13 (because I said so)

genre: Horror, Romance, and Adeventure

summary: Spike and Buffy should stay on the path if they know what's good for them.

thoughts: I really have a report to do for school and I haven't started it yet, and at least on my time, it's like 9:30 and I go to bed at 11:30, but I don't wanna do it! It's on Shakespeare. Oh, and I'm making my own geocities site soon. But it won't be big since I am too cheap to pay up $8 every month. It'll be on practically fan fictions. And also, if you know how to make a site, tell me! Thanks!

Spike yawned, waking up. He looked over at Buffy, who was nestled in his duster, naked. He grinned and shook her, waking her up.

"What?" She asked.

"Remember? Horrorland? Home?" Spike asked.

"Oh crap." Buffy found her clothes and put them on quickly. "Not a word." She got out of the cave. "Come on, there's no sunlight to be seen."

"What about to be felt?" Spike asked, dressed, coming out of the cave.

"Which way were we going? The blue path is right there but which way were we coming from?"

"Um, that way?"

"Are you people alwaysss thisss uselesss?" The cheshire cat asked, stepping right up to them.

"Which way did we come from?" Buffy asked.

"That way! Meaning you go thisss way." The cat hissed, disappearing.

"OK, good." Buffy started walking.

"Sleep well?" Spike asked.

"Shut-up. Just another mistake."

"You know, I'm getting the feeling you don't learn from your mistakes."

"Not when your in the way."

"Neither my cock." Buffy pushed him into a bush hard.

"Ay! Get out of my home!" A fat worm yelled at Spike.

"Ah!" Spike leaped out of the bush, running back to Buffy. "Luv, stop it! You keep fighting your bloody love for me! Stop! I know you love me too."

"I don't love you."

"Then explain those bite marks." Spike pulled down her shirt, revealing a bite mark on her shoulder.

"Another mistake."

"What about this one?" Spike pulled down her shirt on her other shoulder blade to reveal another bite mark.

"Another mistake."

"You know, it's either you never learn from your mistakes or you love me."

"I'll go with... don't learn from mistakes."

"I'll go with you love me, fighting it is not helping anyone Buffy! Do you really think that everyone is counting on you to mess up my life?"

"No!"

"Then what is it? That I'm a vampire? That you're afraid I might leave you like the others? I am more in love with you than Riley or Angel put together, I'm not like those bloody poofs. If they really ever loved you, they would have never left. But look, I'm still here. After everything. Even when I hated you, I was always here."

"I know."

"Then what's wrong??"

"I don't know! OK? You're hot and helpful and stuff, but it doesn't seem right!"

"Why?!"

"Because I'm afraid of heart brake again! My dad, Angel, Riley, and Giles did it to me in different ways a lot! I guess you can say I'm afraid of love!"

"Buffy, I would do anything to please you. I think you're the one who's causing the heart ache right now! You keep toying with my emotions!"

"I'm sorry! I keep changing my mind a lot! Give me time, God!"

"You've had plenty of months now."

"Will you leave- did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That." A loud shriek came from behind them. They turned around, seeing a mob of bloody, dirty skeletons from behind them.

"Run!" Spike grabbed Buffy's arm and ran down the blue path.

"In the trees!" Buffy yelled.

"Are you kidding? We can't lose the blue path!"

"It's safer!" Buffy pulled Spike into the dark forest and ran away from their path. They hid behind a bush, far away from the blue road. The skeletons didn't notice Buffy and Spike's retreat into the forest and kept on down the path. "Is it safe now?" They got up.

"Yep, no skeletons, but also no bloody blue path!" Spike yelled.

"Cheshire cat? We need help!" Buffy yelled. Silence. Not even a bright, flashy smile on a tree branch.

"Great! Genius here got us lost!" Spike yelled.

"Hey! I saved our lives! Be grateful!"

"Buffy, you saved our lives for a while, but we'd probably die anyways out here. So, yea, you saved our lives, but what would it matter anyways? It just gives us a few more hours to live."

"Then let's just find the path!" Buffy walked one way, Spike the other. "Where are you going?"

"This way, this way was the path."

"No, this way."

"I clearly remember which way we came from."

"OK, which side of the bush did we hide? Because the side we hid on would not be the side we came from.

"It was that side."

"No, that side."

"Look, moss always points to civilization." Spike pointed to a tree.

"How do you know? This is no civilization, Spike. It's a fucking messed up Wonderland."

"This way!"

"Fine, you go your way, I'll go my way!"

"Fine, because either way we won't make it out alive." Spike started walking his way. Buffy looked back at him. She didn't want to lose him, but she also didn't want to lose a fight neither. So she did what she could to bring him back with out losing their war.

"Spike... You wouldn't leave me, would you?" Buffy asked, leaning against a tree with the most sexiest, innocent look she could come up with. Spike stopped and turned around, looking at her just feet away. He saw her and froze, thinking of what to do. "Spike, I thought you loved me?" He didn't know what to do, lose to her and have the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, or win and not be able to see her.. maybe ever. "Please Spike?" She put on a pout and walked up to him, snaking her arms behind his back, head on his chest. He couldn't take it.

"Fine." He finally said.

"Thank you, my way it is." She started walking in her direction that she chose. He couldn't help but follow.

**********

"You're brilliant." Spike said sarcastically as they ran down the blue path, being chased by the skeletons once again.

"Hey, at least I found the path again." Buffy replied in defense.

"We have to go in the forest again." Spike grabbed her arm and pulled her aside. The skeletons kept running down the path. "Well, when they were created, they didn't bother putting a brain in their skulls."

"OK, there's that path, don't lose it again."

"You lost it, remember?"

"Well I found it, remember?"

"Let's just go." They started walking down the blue path again. After hours of endless and dangerous walking, it started getting cooler out. Assuming it was getting dark above the canopy. Buffy shivered. Spike saw her trembling of coldness. "Here." Spike took off his duster and put it around Buffy.

"Thanks." She put her head on his shoulder as they walked.

"Cozzzy?" A familiar voice asked. They looked up and saw the one and only, cheshire cat. "You are coming to the point of the ocean, it will be a tough tasssk, but you can over come it. Got it?"

"How?" Buffy asked.

"Simple, my friendsss. There isss a fairy leading to the other land point, but you won't be the only onesss on it. There will be othersss different from you and they won't like it."

"Well?"

"You have to disguise. And the only man that can do that isss Doosssle Keleprity." The cheshire cat jumped off of the tree limb, still keeping his evil, glowing smile on his face.

"So..."

"He can help your situation and disguise you with a small spell. He won't care how you look like, if you know me, it wouldn't matter that is."

"Where does he live?"

"Down that blue path." The cat pointed to a different direction of the path, covered by a bush.

"Then let's go." Buffy started stepping over the bush and down the path. The cat suddenly appeared right in front of her, grin still blazing.

"Are you sure you're up to it? It's black magic we're dealing with." He asked.

"Yes! You're the one who said we should." Buffy replied. The cheshire cat disappeared, still smiling, then all that was left was his flashy smile, then that disappeared too.

"Come on." Buffy said to Spike and they walked down the blue path, which was darker and more scarier then the other one they were headed down.

(email me if you know how to make a site for geocities, I'm kinda confused, and don't say I'm dumb, it's hard! Or at least for me it is...)
