Feedback: Please review, good or bad, tell me. Email me at musictosellyoursoulfor@yahoo.co.uk
Oh I know it's been a while since I last updated, though I'm not sure if people are still reading it. I also know original characters aren't popular, but hey there are no Mary Sue's here and if you want Spike, I've got him. Again, still no Angel crossover yet, will soonish, I promise, kinda. Anyway again please review, even if you don't like it, at least give me some response people!
Chapter 8 : The Sky Is A Landfill

They had been tracking her for hours, and much to the anger of Spike and the irritation of Buffy they hadn't been able to find her. Almost every bar in town had been checked out, all the places she usually went, her apartment, the magic shop, even the college and nothing. Spike didn't like the waiting, the longer he had to think about her the worse it became. Buffy was making small-talk and he was listening and nodding and making comments at the right places but Louise, God that girl had driven him mad. Those eyes of her, those deep brown eyes and her smile, when she rarely smiled it made him feel less of a demon and more of a man and for that he hated her even more. He was evil, yes that was what he was. A vampire, not some cute fluffy cat or a little child who would do no harm, he was a goddamn creature of the night. Yet he knew he was fucked in the head and he wasn't even thinking about the chip that castrated him. He hated to admit it but he was different. Maybe not special but strange. He didn't have a soul, no not like his old friend Angelus. But he could love. At first it was Dru, oh his wonderful mad sire, but then Buffy, a human, okay a superhuman but fuck he shouldn't be able to love no not at all and now Louise. Spike loved her in a weird way, much like he had with Buffy he resented loving her but he couldn't help it. There was something about her that called to him, that made him wish he hadn't been so harsh and rough to her during sex, if he had been gentler he perhaps would have realised then that even though she was different, not human nor vampire, he could still love her.

"Spike look over there" Buffy instructed running over the entrance of a bar. She knelt down and picked up the denim coat

Spike was still deep in his thoughts, if he could love that didn't make him normal, he wasn't really a whole vampire, shit he was as fucked as she was and he damn well knew it.

"It's hers" Buffy continued standing up

"Gathered that" Spike grabbed the coat from the Slayer and ran his finger across the material, he briefly closed his eyes and thought of the innocence in her eyes, he had got her wrong, she wasn't evil, maybe he still had a chance.

"I say this way" Buffy pointed towards the path that Louise and Michael had taken.

"Whatever you say Slayer, nice to know your getting back into the swing of things" Spike remarked.

They strode through the alleyways at a fast pace. Spike's change of heart on the woman they chased made his desire to find her run deeper. He needed her, needed her, and he knew it and if that made him less of a vampire then screw it because he always needed someone to love, Drusilla, Buffy or Louise, it's just the way things go.

"She's near" Spike informed, yes he could smell her, but not her normal scent more like one of sexual excitement, her juices flowing like they had with him. Bloody hell she was with someone else, Jesus fucking Christ. What was he thinking? Like she would want to be with him like that? Fuck. His common sense came flooding back to him, his epiphany of love was thrown away, how could he love her? She could still be a threat for all he knew and she had lied to him about her past and 'Fuck it all' he conceded.

It was then that Buffy and Spike found themselves fall to the floor and clutch at their heads. A white light had engulfed the sky and taken them both by surprise.

"What the hell?" Spike blinked his eyes and saw the Slayer covering her own.

"Keep down!" Buffy snapped

The night sky quickly returned to its previous state. Spike stood up and pulled Buffy with him. They could hear screaming coming from the nearby high street and sirens had already begun to approach the scene.

"Maybe Louise was a bigger threat than we thought" Buffy said sombrely. The pair of warriors headed to the direction of the chaos.

When they made it there Buffy's eyes widened, she had seen carnage in her time but there was at least a dozen bodies covered in blood, slashes across their faces sprawled across the roads and pavements. The screaming was deafening, injured people scrambled to run away, others heaved at the sight of the corpses. Cars stopped in the middle of the road. It was Buffy who glimpsed a sight of Louise, she was convulsing on the sidewalk, her hands were covered in blood, her face had deep cuts.

Spike stood, usually this kind of chaos and mayhem made him feel alive again but he quickly moved his eyesight to what Buffy was looking at and felt his rage build. Louise, she done this. She fucking had done this! He ran over to her and spat on her face, she mumbled incoherently at him.

"Spike" Buffy warned grabbing him of Louise and knelling down.

"Filthy bitch, I knew she was an abomination" Spike sneered, he was just a fool for ever thinking he could love her, if anything he was jealous of her power, she had killed all these people!

"We don't know it was her" Buffy reasoned, she checked Louise's pulse.

"See anyone else about?" Spike snapped

"No but" Buffy went to reason once again but she saw Louise open her eyes, they glowed a deep crimson and the marks she had on her face had healed "oh shit"

"Help" Louise mumbled, her body jerked and she fell unconscious again

"Can you lift her?" Buffy turned to the vampire

"I say we kill her now" He responded, before she could curse him again, false him to love her.

"No. We get her back to the Magic Shop and find out what the hell is going on" Buffy ordered

"She's fucking dangerous" Spike relented and lifted the body of his nemeses or love, he still couldn't decide up.

"Well she has me to contend with then" Buffy stated

^^^^^

//Flashback//

She was watching him, studying how he walked, what he said, his persona, his whole being. She had been staring at him for the last few years now. He didn't know it, he couldn't not yet, if he caught her he would kill her in an instant. She needed to make him believe she was evil like his kind, she couldn't pass for a vampire but she could act like he wanted her to, she could be bad.

It was a late evening outside a New York bar, she admired how he fought. Dressed like a punk, he had the attitude but unlike the man he was fighting, he had the strength and Louise saw him snap the neck of this human. He wasn't even fighting him for blood, rather for fun. He needed to be saved from that, this wasn't his path. She knew that, her powers, her intuition had granted her a look into his future, she could save him now, help him become a man again, he just couldn't kill another Slayer. Couldn't, he would become more powerful like he had after that one in China, no, he would damn himself to a life of obsession over every other slayer who would follow the one who currently resided in NY. Louise had seen what would happen, not now in 1977 but then in 2002, if he didn't stop it would be too late for them all. She was here now, it wasn't her job, she had been cast aside, she was running away from so many people, creatures, but if she could help him, help Spike, the vampire she watched, as he went over to his sire and wrapped his arms lovingly around her.

Louise sulked back into the alleyway, soon she would approach him, soon she would help him. No one was going to stop her.

//end of flashback//

She felt his lips gently brush against her own, and hands, fingers begin to caress her skin. She hadn't opened her eyes yet, maybe she was dreaming, but a million little sensations tingled in her body and when felt his fangs on her neck, she found herself smiling, Spike was here, wherever here was. She groaned heartily at his touch and her eyes fluttered opened. It wasn't a dream, he was there, his sapphire eyes gazing back at her. She went to move, to wrap her arms around his neck and never leave but no, she was constrained and as she finally came too, she realised she was chained, her arms were bounded and so were her feet.

"Spike?" she questioned.

He didn't reply, his kissing continued, his fingers worked there way under the waistband of her jeans and teased her gently

"Where I am?" she moaned again, light feather touches, still no response, this time, he kissed her fully, entwining their tongues together, massaging them as he continued to knell down in front of her. He tore away from the kiss.

"How are you?" he growled, oh he was teasing that little bitch so much, he had her wrapped round his little finger. The Slayer probably wouldn't be best impressed with him, but he was seducing this little whore, so she would tell him everything

"My head hurts, and my memory, I can, oh god" she gasped closing her eyes briefly then staring straight back at him "Those people!"

"Dead, at least a dozen" he replied he sat down in front of her, she played the innocent act well, but it didn't stop him from hating her. From that fact that even now when he was kissing her, he still fucking hell, he still had feelings for her.

"Michael" she croaked moving uncomfortable in her restraints, she was still very confused at where she was, what was going on.

"Michael?" Spike raised an eyebrow, the name seemed familiar to him but he couldn't place it, after all it was a common first name.

"You have to stop him Spike, please, for me, you love me right?" she asked praying inside.

He had to laugh at that, she obviously wasn't aware at the fact that whilst they were in the training room, in the Magic Shop, the Slayer and her pals, were no doubt thinking of ways to kill her "What are you?" he was till trying to be kind to her, if that failed oh he could be cruel.

"We met before" she recalled, yes she was remembering a lot more now, but the memories made her life more complicated now and even though she had wished to gain her memory back for the last 6 months, she kinda wished she was still ignorant of who she was.

"I know that, what are you pet?" Spike questioned, he was losing his patience, but was surprised she acknowledged that they had met before, thought she was lie about that.

"I can't tell you" she whispered

"Why?" he began to get angry with her, fucking mind tricks all she ever done.

"I can't Spike, what I am, well think I am, makes us opposites, and I, if I, you won't want to be with me if I tell you" she whimpered, no chance of her and him, a vampire and what she was, it was worse than being a Slayer.

This time his laugh was loud and he moved away from her standing up "Oh Lou, are you that much of a fool not to realise, look at yourself, your chained up!" he scorned.

"I know, why?" she couldn't understand him, so hot one minute, cold as his skin the next. She wanted him to hug her, too stay by her side.

"You think I love you, I'm a vampire I don't love!" he declared pacing the room.

"You said you love Buffy" Louise pointed out.

"That I did, and I still do, but the thing with me and the Slayer, she doesn't kill innocent people, you have to kinda admire that, she doesn't lie about what she is, she isn't a piece if shit like you are. Now pet, what the hell are you!" Spike merged into his game face and leaned in inches from her face, he could kill her like that, fucking kill her.

"Stop it!" she pleaded "Please stop it"

"Why?" he continued in his demonic form, smelt her flesh, oh he could, but something inside of him said no, he would just have to learn to say yes.

"You love me, just now, you kissed me, touched me" her eyes widened, why couldn't he recognise his feelings for her, she knew he loved her, knew it, he had to right?

"Guess I'm little tease" he spat, he reverted back to his human side

"Spike, I think you're in danger, please let me go, I need to protect you" she decided, yes her job, it was, it was, he just didn't know it.

"Protect me? That's bullshit Lou!" he berated her foolish words.

"Please you have no idea, Michael, he will kill you, he could do it like that, and Buffy he will get her, I need to save you all.Spike please" she began to sob, they needed her help, they did, they couldn't defeat Michael without her

"Don't, just fucking don't, you won't give me answers?" he shook his head, her little sobs burned inside of him, she sounded so naïve "Well, Red and the Wicca have ways of finding out, a little truth spell"

"It won't work" she wept, she didn't want to cry in front of him, she had to be strong, save her strength to save him because she knew Michael was coming, she damn well knew it.

"What makes you so special ey?" he scolded

"You have no idea" she nodded.

"Going to enlighten me, let me guess you can't tell me, because then we won't be together. Well Louise, we will never be together, we had shagged once and that was it!" he yelled.

"It was more than once" she stated smiling, her tears began to dry up.

"What?"

"Us, more than once, before, New York, I don't know why I left you then, I shouldn't have but we were together, don't you remember how good it was. I was trying to help you then" Louise remembered

"What if I don't want the help of a murderer?" he stated, he strode off towards the door and left her alone, she could rot in hell, she was nothing, he had his fun, even if he gained no pleasure or laughter from it just more confusion.

"Spike I love you" she called but it was too late, he wouldn't believe her and she needed to find a way to escape, to divert Michael from coming here and killing everyone who resided in the Magic Shop.
