Some Spuffy goodness and Riley getting his ass kicked! Also, quick thanks to wannabite for correcting my spelling! Thanks and enjoy!
All he could feel was pain deep in his chest. He tried his hardest to regain consciousness, 'Have to save Buffy.' Suddenly, it was as if the world had just stopped. Icy blues met emerald greens.
He gazed at her with complete awe. The fire that can be usually found dancing in her windows of sight, were now deceased.
She looked absolutely lifeless. Her usual glowing skin was more pale then his.
'So much blood' he silently notion to himself.
He started to pull at the chains. However, it was no use.
They were extremely tightened around his wrist. He was chained to a thick pole parallel to Buffy. He began to pull with more force, which caused his wrist to swell.
When he looked back towards the petite slayer, he noticed that terror had replaced her features, as Riley entered.
"I'm going to rip your bloody head off, Captain' Cardboard." Anger was flourishing within the bleached vampire.
Riley's lips slowly began to curl as he walked over towards Buffy.
She helplessly stared at him, being too weak to do a damn thing.
"Now, now Spikey. I watch what you say. I could easily destroy you."
"Pfft! See if I give a sodding damn!"
Pure darkness roamed in the air, and Spike could feel it. Riley gently lifted up Buffy's chin, "Or I could easily destroy her."
That shut the vamp up.
Using whatever strength she had left, Buffy spoke, "Why Riley?"
"SHUT-UP BITCH!" Riley hollered, as he smacked her.
As he did so, Spike's eyes became a disturbing gold-yellow. His face turned hard and rigid, as his teeth enhanced into sharp points.
He hated this feeling. The feeling of not being able to do a damn thing.
"I don't even know why you even care Spike." Riley stated harshly.
"After all, you are a demon. A soulless monster. Just last week you wanted her dead, and now you're risking your sad unlife for her well-being."
Spike glanced at Buffy. 'Sod the right and wrong crap!'
"Because I. Love. Her." It came out through gritted teeth.
A look of disbelief took over the commando's countenance. "Don't give me that crap!"
"Admit it Spike. You just wanted a hot 'shag'. Vampires don't love."
Spike resumed in yanking at the chains, harder then ever.
"Think of it as me helping you out. When I summon the White Demon, it will drain her essence through her cuts. Then I can use the essence on my boys and myself, so we can become fierce. You wouldn't have to waste your precious time in trying to kill her."
Riley made one last cut in the frail slayer's skin, causing her to flinch.
"With every new slayer born, we will steal her strength and power. The world won't need these bitches. It will have us."
He went over to the corner and grabbed the blue container of gasoline, and started to pour it in a semi-large circle around Buffy.
We walked over towards the struggling vampire, and stole his silver lighter out of his duster's pocket.
As he began to light the flammable substance, he started to recite, "Ego advoco candidus malum. Abigo auctorita! Ego advoco candidus malum. Abigo auctorita!"
The vampire's eyes bulged. He new what those Latin words meant. The flames were out of control. They violently moved as Riley's voice got louder.
Then he saw the demon. A brown cloak demon, floating towards Buffy.
It stood directly in front of her, and spread open his cloak. Buffy's horrified screams motivated Spike to struggle harder.
He then felt a great release when the handcuffs gave out. In total bewilderment, he turned to see Harris standing behind him gripping an acid blade.
The vamp leaped forth, attacking Riley, ignoring his head pain and chest injury.
Riley stumbled on to the ground, trying hard not to break the rhythm of his words. That had failed when Spike took a right blow to his face, knocking him out.
The vamp grabbed his head in agony. Although he wasn't going to let it some him from getting to Buffy.
The minute the words stopped flowing, the White Demon vanished in a flash. Willow was reciting a spell to put out the fire, but Spike refused to wait. He stumbled then leaped, using his vampire endurance, in the middle of the flames.
Neither of them could be seen.
Giles went over to Riley, who was starting to awake, "Buffy may let you live after this, but I'm not as warm hearted." His words dripping with venom, as if he were ripper again.
Before Riley had the chance to retort, Giles placed two sets of fingers on both temples on Riley's head, and applied a great deal of pressure. Then Riley's body went limp.
Willow's casting soon paid off, when the fire was beginning to fade out.
Through the clearing, Spike could be seen cradeling Buffy in his arms, with his morphed face snuggling in her neck. However, her heart was faint, as she was becoming closer to death.
"Can't die." He helplessly spoke.
"I truly love you now. Ready to accept it."
The scoobies just watched, as they listen to Spike's faint breath of words.
Xander gently let go of Anya, to go help Buffy get out of those cuffs.
The second he stepped up, Spike's eyes flashed. A low, threatening rumble, caused Xander to back up in surrender.
"It's a vampire trait. He's protective of what is his." Explained Giles, as he cleaned his glasses.
"But Buffy isn't his" Xander's voice rose in anger.
Anya gripped his arm in trying to calm him down.
Xander, leave him be. He looks so heart broken and concern." Willow tried to reason.
"No way! This is."
"ENOUGH!" Giles shouted in a mere whisper, causing the three of them to jump.
"I understand the awkward circumstances, but Willow is right. Lets allow him to have this." Everyone agreed in silence.
"Anya and Willow, go pull up the car. Xander, come with me, so we can talk Spike into bringing Buffy to the hospital, before she dies."
Just as they were about to follow orders, Spike's soothing voice caught their attention.
Still cradling the slayer, he softly sang;
"Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings."
TBC?
Should I continue? What do you think.
