Chapter 3 "The Last."

"Thanks Electra, now can you release me? I can't breathe." He whispered pretending that she was strangling him. His eyes looked at her and he felt happy for the first time since they left him.

"Oh! Besides you don't breathe you idiot!" She retaliated releasing him just to hit him on the arm playfully.

"Me an idiot? Oh?" He said taking a minute to act like he was thinking before reaching over and tickling her.

"Hey! Quit that it tickles!" She said in between gulps of air.

"Duh! That's why it is called tickling. Who's the idiot now Electra?"

"I am!" She coughed as he released her. She smiled and ran at him wrestling him to the floor. "I am so going to get you for that!" She added as she pocked him in the eye.

"Ouch! That's my eye you stupid little girl." He yelled grabbing her hair and pulling it. "You mess with my eyes now you pay the consequences!"

"OUCH! Oh, you did not just pull my hair?" She said laughing as she did so. She wretched over and bit his hand and while he wasn't paying attention she messed up his hair.

"Not the hair!" He yelled putting his hands over his hair, anything but the hair." He said in a girley tone.

"Yes the hair! You pulled mine, first!" She retaliated in their childish match. She smiled and laid her head on his stomach.

"So you wanna drink the hot chocolate now or just lay here and rest for a minute, I choose to rest for a minute." He said taking an unneeded breath of air. "I haven't been in a fight like that in a long time."

"Me neither. I think I'm gonna agree and stay on the floor and rest."

"You've found her my William. You have found the last, take care of her, she is a part of me." Buffy's spirit whispered on a breeze of cool air.

Spike smiled and turned his head just to see her smile then she was gone. "I think I'll get the hot chocolate now." He replied pulling himself to his feet and offering her a hand. Which she took with gratitude.

"I think we need to warm it up now. I'll put it back on the stove." Electra whispered picking up the two cups and carrying them into the kitchen.

"So did you put the little marshmallows in mine? I have always liked the little marshmallows, there really good, you should try them." He said as he sat down at the table. "I always drank them like that when I lived here with Dawn. She would break-up with another boyfriend and come home almost in tears and we would make ourselves sick drinking them until she couldn't remember why she even liked the guy in the first place."

"So Spike what time do you normally go to sleep?" She asked putting the cup of hot chocolate in front of him.

"Well it normally depends how much is out that night and how long it takes me to drink myself into a coma but probably about two maybe three in the morning."

"Well it's now four thirty. Don't make me go to bed. We could stay up and I could make popcorn and we could watch Interview with the Vampire or Dracula or maybe even Gone with the Wind." She proposed smiling at the last one.

"Gone with the Wind it isn't. I was thinking more along the lines of It. Can't sleep clowns will eat me." He mocked taking a sip of his drink. "So how old are you?"

"I'm 16 almost 17. I don't like being that young. It makes you look so childish being that young and I don't want you to think I'm childish. Look Spike I think I need to make a confession. Okay the before I got called I along with my mom and dad died in a car accident. I opened my eyes and I was in this big white room or something and there was this girl. She had green eyes, she wore a moon necklace, and had a white gown on. Her hair had lilies braided through them and she told me that I had to go back to earth. I told her I wanted to be with my family but she said that I had to back because I was the slayer and I had to finish it. She didn't say what but then she hugged me and all her memories seeped into me. It was Buffy. I know I should have told you but I couldn't, I thought you would get all upset." Electra said her eyes sparkling the way they did when she got sad.

"I already knew you were the last. You have seemed so familiar to me and I just knew. I'm not mad I'm actually kinda relieved that you are the last. I know I can finally forget all the slayer that have died because you aren't gonna die, you are gonna live." He whispered running a shaky hand through her hair. The black hair just fell into his hand and slid in between his pale fingers.

"So about that movie. It it is." She replied changing the subject to make the tension go away. They had just met that day and yet they already knew everything. Buffy had made sure he would find her, and she did.

They walked silently into the living room and sat down at the couch. She laid her head over on his shoulder and they began to watch the movie.

******** Later in the morning

"Electra wake up, it's morning." Spike whispered in a sleepy voice looking at the sleeping girl that lay on his chest. He inhaled and smelt vanilla and lilies.

"Just give me a minute. Can I just go back to sleep?" She asked looking up at him wit her sleep filled eyes.

"I'd let you but then I would get scolded for letting you sleep to long."

"Get yelled at I don't care just let me sleep." She whined

"Five minutes but no more." He responded walking into the kitchen to fix her breakfast. 'Okay! Time is up! Get off that couch and come eat breakfast!"

"Okay I'm up really I'm up." She winced as she got off the couch.

"It looks like crap Spike what are you trying to make me eat?"

"First of all it's good and secondly it's not crap. It's food." He said softly a smile spreading across his face at the look of horror that appeared on Electra's face.

"Tell me it's not human? Please tell me that the meat setting on my plate is not human." She said in a very worried tone.

"No it's not human but maybe we should go get breakfast?" He offered pulling the blanket from the chair.

"Okay at least if we get it I know it won't kill me." She joked opening the door for him.

***** Slaying that night

"Okay first rule, The vampire has the power not you. Now who has the power?" He asked softly as he crouched down in front of a fresh grave.

"Well I have the sword." She replied putting it at eye level.

"The stake is not the power Electra! The vampire has the power! How can you answer that wrong?! I just told you the bleeding answer!" He yelled annoyance showing on his face.

"Okay gosh I'm sorry! I thought it was a trick question." She responded putting her head in her hands as she rolled her eyes.

He smiled and laid a hand on her back. "Okay the vampire has the power you are just the girl that wants to steal that power."

"Okay I steal his power?" She asked confusion showing on her now showing face.

"Yes. Okay if he has the power that means you don't. So to win you must steal the power. Get it?"

"Okay I am fighting him to steal his power of killing people?"

"I guess you can look at it that way. Okay now he is trying to dig out so you need to get ready. Now we are going to stand over there and wait for him to be able to get out. You want it a fair fight when it'' a Fledgling."

They walked over and a hand popped out of the soil followed by the other. The vampires arm struggled and finally his head became visible. They waited and then he was out. Electra walked out and the vampire smiled.

His senses picked up the pumping of her blood and his mouth began to water. He felt his features start to turn until his eyes were gold and his teeth in their vampire form. He took a step closer and then he fell. "Damn tree root!" He breathed trying to free his foot of the root.

"Yea Spike he has the power." Electra mocked as she pushed the stake through his chest with ease. "I would hate to see one that was dumb when it as alive."

"Yea well we are all pretty dumb when we just pop outta the ground and out sire isn't there to help us understand the entire digging outta the ground thing." He defended

"Well then where is its sire?"

"I'm gonna have to say that it herd the slayer was coming and got a little scarred because the Big Bad is with her." He replied with his trademark smirk.

"I don't think so. He was so scarred of me. You're just a dumb vamp that is fighting on the wrong side. Now I'm the slayer, the vampire slayer." Electra shot back punching him on the arm.

"Okay maybe we should just try to get you a challenge." He whispered walking down the path to the Southside cemetery. "Don't worry, this is the most active cemetery in all of Sunnydale California. There is always something to kill in this cemetery."

"Whatever you say. But are you sure that this one will have any power to save?"

"Just shut-up!" He teased patting her on the back.

"So I was thinking maybe you should let me fight a real vamp like that one?" She said pointing across the cemetery to a vampire that was sucking the life from a girl's neck.

"Don't ask just go!" He ordered as she ran after him with all the speed she possessed.

"Hi my name is Electra. I'll be your slayer tonight. The special is a one-way ticket straight to Hell!" She yelled as he dropped the girl onto the ground.

She did a spinning kick and nailed him right across his face. He growled and punched at her but she caught his fist and smashed it in between her palms making the bones smash. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with death?"

She smiled and pushed the stake through the vampire's chest. "Way to easy!" She yelled looking at Spike who was holding the girl in his arms.

"Come on we need to get her to a hospital." He said walking from the graveyard.

****** At the Magic Box

"Linnet you should've been there. It was so cool. I killed this vamp and he didn't even land a Punch." Electra explained happily.

"She did a real good job Linnet. He didn't even have time to throw a punch." Spike complemented.

"Well it sounds like we have another first class slayer on our hands." Linnet said smiling at the young slayer standing before her.

"Don't get your hopes up quite yet, it was one fight not an apocalypse." Spike said making her frown.

"Oh yes that reminds me Spike the gang is coming in tomorrow so you might want to stick around tonight." Linnet said softly.

"I'll stay but if one of you touches my jacket you will see a side of me you don't want to."

"Okay reminder to self don't mess with the really old leather jacket that he wouldn't even give us the chance to touch." Electra said with a grin.
