Chapter 7
Buffy kicked Spike in the abdomen and he went flying and hit his head on one of the nearby tombstones. When he got up he was a little peeved. He walked toward Buffy.
"I don't want to hurt you Buffy, but it doesn't mean I won't." With that he punched her and she fell back. He then realized that was a mistake as he grabbed his skull, feeling a jolt of pain in his head. "Bloody chip." Spike mumbled, he also took that as a sign that she wasn't completely evil yet. He knew he had to get through to her. Buffy got up and glared at him.
"You'll pay for that." She told him. She kicked him again aiming for his head, but he grabbed her leg and knocked her down. He used that to his advantage and grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up, making her look into his eyes.
"You have to stop this, this isn't you Buffy, you're the Slayer, and you have to remember what that means. You are a good person, the best I've ever known and the strongest. You have to realize what happened to you and fight it. You don't want to do this." He let her go and she just stood there. The demon saw that the vampire was getting to her.
"You can't listen to him, you're evil now, and you belong to me. You have to do as I say and kill him." The demon yelled. Buffy found the battle axe that Spike dropped on the ground and she picked it up. She moved closer to Spike with the axe in her hand.
"This ends here." She told him as she raised the axe. Spike knew that he was going to die. Then Buffy turned and threw the axe at the demon, chopping his head off. "No one tells me what to do." She said as she felt the same electricity go through her again. She clutched her stomach and her eyes were glowing red again, and then returned to normal. Buffy fell into Spike's arms. He held her, locking eyes with hers.
"Buffy, are you okay?" He asked her, concerned. She looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little headachy, but I'll live." Spike smiled and helped her up.
"I knew you would come around on your own, just had to give you a little push in the right direction. So, do you remember everything?" She looked down then back at him.
"Unfortunately. I tried to seduce you, didn't I?" Spike nodded.
"Yeah, but don't worry, it didn't go too far." He told her.
"Yeah, because you didn't let it. I want to thank you, for what you did. I was out of line, but you didn't take advantage, that means a lot." Spike smiled.
"Well, you're welcome. I wouldn't have taken advantage of you Buffy. You weren't yourself and it wouldn't have been real, so don't worry about it." She smiled at him.
"I just hope the others will be so forgiving, I was terrible to them." She looked down, ashamed of what she said and almost did to her friends. Spike put a finger under her chin and raised her head so she would look at him.
"Buffy, it wasn't your fault, and don't worry about your friends. I know they'll forgive you. They'll always love you, no matter what." Buffy smiled, feeling a little better.
"Thanks." She said as she looked down at her outfit, finally noticing it. "Oh god! What am I wearing!" Spike laughed, happy to have the Slayer back.
"I don't know. I kind of like the outfit." She looked at him.
"Yeah, you would." She said with a grin. They went back to her house so she could change, then they both went to the magic shop. The others were just as happy to have her back. "I am so sorry for everything; let's just say I wasn't exactly myself." She told all of them. Giles nodded.
"Yes, well, we are just glad to have you back to normal again." Buffy agreed. She locked eyes with Dawn, remembering what she said to her sister.
"Dawn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of those things I said to you. You know I love you and you are my sister, no matter what." Dawn gave a faint smile.
"I know, and you weren't yourself, so, I forgive you." Buffy hugged her, and then she looked at Anya.
"Sorry about the black eye." She told her.
"Well, Xander always said I should put more color on my face." Xander put his arm around her.
"Yeah, Buff, let's just be thankful that you didn't kill anyone." Xander said, and Buffy couldn't agree more. Then Buffy looked at all of them.
"One more thing, if you guys ever see me dressing up like Xena again, just kill me." They all nodded in agreement, all except for Spike who just smiled. He really didn't mind the outfit.
The End
Hope ya'll liked it. I really had fun writing this one, I'm sure we all have a little dark side in us. Anyway, feel free to tell me what you think, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can pretty much take anything.
