Chapter 8
"Summers, get your ass out here now"
"Do I have to Spike"
"It's just the hospital luv, nothing to be scared off"
"Yeah well when was the last time you were in a hospital, Never?" she said walking out into the lounge. She was wearing a new pair of jeans. "So you like the jeans there a little big"
"That's ok luv, you can grow into them, but isn't that my shirt, getting attached to them are you"
"Yeah well I only bought stuff I need and I figured I could just wear your shirts, that's ok right"
Spike shrugged and opened the door allowing Buffy to walk out before following. The ride to the hospital was quite. Buffy seemed nervous because she kept playing with her hands.
"It will be alright luv, I got us in with a friend of mine so there is nothing to worry about"
When they got to the hospital Spike filled out the necessary forms then went and sat by Buffy. She looked really worried and Spike couldn't understand why. Spike wearily put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry it will be over soon, the nurse said he will be out in a moment"
"Ok, hospital just give me the major wiggens"
Spike nodded.
"Buffy Williams" A doctor called.
Spike stood up and Buffy looked at him strangely.
"Oh I didn't want Riley to figure it out, so come on"
Buffy got up and followed the doctor down the hall.
"Hi Buffy, I am Doctor Mega, those are some nasty scratches, I think I should take a look at them first before we discuss why you are here, just go in that room and put a gown on, I'll be in there in a second"
Buffy nodded looking rather scared but walked into the room leaving Spike and the doctor out in the hall.
"Hey Joe thanks for seeing us" Spike said shaking his hand.
"Ok, Spike so what's this all about, what's with all the scratches, did you do that, is she all like grr, like you" he said baring his teeth.
"No I didn't do that to her, her husband did and no she's not a vampire, she's the Slayer"
"That's the Slayer" the doctor asked shocked. "That little thing, wow and her husband did that to her, I thought she was supposed to be strong"
"She is, or was. That's why we are here I think he may have drugged her"
"Ok, ok no need to jump to conclusions look I better go in and see how she's doing alright"
"Ok I'll wait out here alright"
The doctor knocked on the door then walked into the room to see Buffy sitting nervously on the table.
"Hi Buffy, are you alright"
Buffy shrugged. "Where's Spike"
"Oh hes waiting outside for you, why do you want him in here"
Buffy nodded.
"Well that's ok I'll just get him" the doctor stuck his head out the door and looked for Spike. "Hey Spike can you come here"
Spike quickly walked over to the doctor. "Joe what's wrong"
"Oh nothing, she just seems a little nervous, she wants you in here"
Spike raised his eyebrows but followed the doctor in. "You alright luv"
Buffy didn't speak but Spike understood that she must be a little scared he hated hospitals and doctors to, it reminded him of the initiative. Spike sat next to on the table.
"Ok Buffy" the doctor said walking over to her "I need to look at those cuts, they look kinda nasty". The doctor took Buffys arm and raised the sleeve on the gown to get a better look. "Well they seem to be healing fine, does the wound continue all the way up"
Buffy nodded acting the same way she had when Spike had examined her.
"Ok well I better take a look at them to make sure they are not infected"
Buffy shrunk away from the doctor, Spike noticed Buffys disposition.
"Listen Joe, I checked them out there alright" Spike said glaring at the doctor.
"If your sure, now where are these puncutre wounds"
buffy turned her head arpund and allowed him to examine them.
"Yep they are definatly made my a needle. Well I will just need to take a little blood then ok" he walked over to a drawer and pulled out a syringe.
Buffy scrambled closer to Spike and held on to him.
"Its ok luv he just needs to make sure your ok"
"I know its just I'm scared"
Spike pulled Buffy off him then nodded to the doctor to proceed. "Haa I never thought I hear the Slayer say she is scared"
Buffy got angry "Hello, I am getting a test done to see if my husband has been giving me injections, and your asking me what's there to be scared about" the doctor stuck the needle in Buffys arm and started to take blood out with out her noticing.
"Its just a little prick"
"Yeah well you're a little prick and look how much trouble you are, I am now trusting my enemy, when the person I am supposed to trust has now turned onto my enemy, I have every right to be scared".
"All done" the doctor said.
Buffy looked at him confused.
"The test" he said holding up the syringe with the blood in it. "Ill have to send it away for tests but your all done here, Spike was the perfect distraction"
Buffy looked over at Spike and saw him grinning.
"Come on Spike lets let her get dressed."
Spike got up and left a shocked Buffy in the room. Once the doctor was out of the room, Spike bombarded him.
"So what do you think it is"
"Take it easy pal, I just took some blood, she seems ok so I am guessing it was just a sedative, if she had been human she would probably been sleepy but because she is the Slayer its probably just drained her strength. That's just a guess"
"Well that's good"
"She's not going back to him is she, poor thing"
"She was, she didn't have anywhere to go. I said she could stay with me, your mother in law convinced her this is a nice town"
"Well that's good, say hello to the old women for me, I haven't had a chance to go around and see her I have been doing double shifts"
"Yeah I will, so you think she will be alright"
"Yeah ill call you in the morning with the results, just be careful she seems really fragile she probably clinging on to you cause your someone familiar, she may need to see a psychiatrist"
"Nah she's ok, she just doesn't like hospital once I get her home she will be as right as rain"
Buffy walked out of the room and looked at the two, she knew they had been talking about her and was hoping it was good.
"You ready to go luv"
Buffy nodded and followed Spike out of the hospital.
"So what did he say"
"He thinks you will be alright"
"Well well, what do we have here"
Buffy and Spike turned around saw three vampires. Buffy shrunk behind Spike when she recognised them. Spike looked at the Slayer strangely then looked back at the vampires.
"What do you want"
"Looks like you got a nice little human there Spike we were wondering if you would share, seeing how you cant actually hurt the poor darling" the vampire quipped.
One of the vampires took a step closer to Buffy and Spike and took a good look at Buffy. "Hey isn't that the girl from the other night"
"Yeah she looks like her doesn't she" one of the others said.
The vampire talking to Spike began to grin. "So her little mate letting you play with her and watching from the shadows huh. We had a bit of fun with her the other night I am sure he wouldn't mind if we joined in, just wait until after when he lets you watch them have a little slap and tickle"
Spike turned at look at Buffy and saw tears in her eyes. With out looking Spike grabbed the vampire by the throat.
"She's not that girl"
"What" the vampire stammered with his feet dangling in the air.
"She not that girl, take a look at her, it's not her"
The vampire looked over at her. "Well her hair is different I think it was longer and darker"
"Exactly" Spike said throwing the vampire at his two comrades. "The girl you are talking about is dead, her husband killed her. This girl here" he said snaking his arm roughly around her waist. "Is mine" he then roughly planted a kiss on Buffys lips "And you best remember that, because if anyone lays a finger on her there will be hell to pay"
The three vampires began to run off in fear.
"Oh and boys, I hear there is a Slayer in town and she's mighty pissed"
The vampires continued to run off into the night leaving Buffy and Spike standing there with his arm still around her waist
