Chapter 5
In the Basement, Spike and Faith were sparring to kill some time before night came. She kicked him in the gut and he went flying into the wall.
"Oops, you okay?" She asked concerned.
"Yeah, you really are good." She smiled and helped him up.
"Well, I try. So, I was wondering, are you a one Slayer kinda guy?" Spike looked at her not sure what she was getting at.
"Yes, I am." He said.
"Yeah, I figured that, couldn't hurt to ask though." She smiled at him. "Don't worry; I'm not doing it again." She told him.
"Doing what again?" He asked her.
"Go for the boyfriend again. First Angel and then Riley, I have to draw the line somewhere." Spike smiled.
"Well, I'm not her boyfriend." Faith rolled her eyes.
"Not right now, but you two were somewhat involved and I can tell you still have a thing for her, besides I think the two of you look good together. Much better then when she was with the other two." Spike had to smile at that too.
"Really?" Faith nodded.
"Now, come on, let's see if you can take me." Spike rolled his eyes.
"That shouldn't be a problem." He was about to go at her when he realized they weren't alone. Spike saw Buffy by the stairs.
"Well, isn't this nice, you don't waste time do you." Spike knew that something wasn't right.
"B, it's not what you think." Spike held up his hand so Faith would be quiet.
"That's not Buffy." Faith was confused when she saw the wicked smile on Buffy's face.
"You really thought I would let you go that easily." It said walking towards him. "I'm just getting started." Then it vanished. Then, like before, the Bringers crashed through the window in the basement.
"Not this again." Spike said as the Bringers came at him. Buffy heard the crash and everyone ran to the basement. She saw the Bringers attacking Spike and Faith. Buffy saw that there were six of them. She grabbed one and pulled him off of Faith. Everyone else was grabbing weapons and attacking the Bringers, even the junior Slayers were holding their own. Buffy grabbed a sword and chopped the heads off of the two Bringers near her. She threw the sword to Spike and he did the same to the Bringer on his left. Another Bringer grabbed Vi and she screamed. Xander grabbed an axe and threw it at the Bringer that had Vi. It fell to the floor with the axe stuck in its back. The last one went after Rona when Kennedy grabbed a sword and chopped off the head. She just stared at the sword.
"Wow! That was cool!" She exclaimed. Buffy looked around.
"Is everyone okay?" She asked and everyone nodded. Buffy heard clapping behind her. She turned around and was face to face with herself.
"Not bad Slayer, you may have saved them all this time, but next time they won't be so lucky. We'll meet again, sooner than you think." With that it vanished. Buffy looked around and saw five dead Bringers on the floor. Something wasn't right.
"There are five of them." She said.
"Yeah, what about it?" Faith asked. Buffy looked at her.
"I know I counted six." She looked around and realized that someone was missing. "Where's Dawn?" They all looked around the basement, but Dawn was nowhere to be found.
