Chapter 3
Buffy's mouth dropped opened and the piece of wood dropped to the floor. Dawn wiggled out of Spike's embrace and walked over to Buffy.
"Are you alright Buf- I mean, Alison? its just Spike. . ."
"William." He coughed. "I er- like to go by William now."
"William." Dawn corrected her self. "Alison are you alright?"
Buffy stared at William's face, still in shock. She felt so many emotions- anger, hate, surprise, relief, happiness- even forgiveness. She realised that she had provoked into doing what he did. All that using him- she was to wrapped up in her own sadness to think about consequences. She forgot that when you played with Spike, it was like playing with a kitten- a kitten that could bite.
"Karen. . .Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know it was him! "Dawn/Karen replied. She'd forgiven him too.
"How could you not know, the fiery blanket should have been a give away?!"
"He didn't need it. she said smiling
Dawn could see the tension between Buffy and William. "I have to. . .Go. . .Somewhere! Yeah, I do!" She ran over to William and gave a hug. "I'm still mad at you." She whispered in his ear.
Buffy walked over to the kitchen table and took a seat. William hesitated, then joined her. Buffy stared up at him.
"How?" She asked.
"It's a long story luv, its not why I am here. I needed to know if you were OK."
Buffy nodded.
"Look. . .Buffy."
"Alison."
William nodded. "I'm. . .I'm sorry."
"You left."
"I had to. I couldn't live with what I'd done."
"It wasn't your fault."
"What? Of course it is!"
"No William, its mine. I drove you to it. I shouldn't have used you. I'm sorry, too."
"No, Alison your wrong!"
"Please can we just forget about it?"
"No I will not forget it. What I did was wrong. I tried to rape you!"
"Tried. Tried to."
"Only because you were able to stop me. If you were anyone but the slayer. . ."
"Then you wouldn't have been able to hurt me. If I was anyone else you would have been on pain as soon as you touched me." Buffy said, unable to look at him.
"Still, it doesn't make it right."
"No it doesn't, it makes us even."
"What?" William asked very confused.
"We're even. I treated you badly, you treated me badly."
"I'm sorry."
Buffy nodded then looked away from him "How did you find me?"
"It's taken me nearly three weeks to find you girls. Imagine the shock when I went to your house and found you weren't there."
Buffy looked up and glared at Spike
"Probably as big a shock as I go when I went to ask you to take care of Karen and you weren't there."
Spike grimaced.
"Well, I asked in demon bars until I found you. Demons can feel where the slayer is."
Buffy smiled. "How did you become human?"
