Chapter 10
It was now a month since Buffy had moved to Sunnydale. Her parents had finally found out she was missing, according to Drusilla. Although it took them three days to find out then another 2 weeks before they finally decided to ask Dru and Angel if they knew where she was. Dru kept her secret safe so she was in no danger of them finding out, and that's the way Buffy liked it. She had come to love Sunnydale and the people in it. Buffy had become attached to Dawn and missed her when she was away, like today.
Giles and Joyce had gone to L.A on a buying trip and had taken Dawn with them. Buffy had offered to take care of Dawn while Joyce was a way. The fact was, Dawns father lived in L.A and Joyce had decided she needed to spend time with him, no matter how much she protested.
Having the house to her self was not something that Buffy was used to. At her old home there was always maids and gardeners around to keep an eye on her, but here there was no one. Buffy relaxed into the huge bubble bath she had made for herself and closed her eyes listening to the music she had playing. It was loud and bobby and Buffy realized that maybe it wasn't the best music to relax to, as all she wanted to do was get up and dance.
After spending 20 minutes in the bath Buffy finally decided to get out. Baths were relaxing in the way that they bore her. Buffy drained the tub then stood up quickly when the lights flickered off then on again. Buffy turned down the stereo and looked out the bathroom window. It was dark but that was normal because it was 9:30 but it still looked eerie. The tree by the window was waving furiously and Buffy could now hear wind howling out side. Buffy rushed in to her bedroom and quickly changed into her pajamas, she didn't like the idea of being caught nude in a storm. Buffy ran down stairs and started turning on all the lights, she now knew why she was never home alone, it was too scary. Buffy made her way into the kitchen to grab the torch. Before she got to the cabinet where the touch was kept the lights went out. Buffy stood frozen waiting for the lights to come back on, but they didn't. Buffy stumbled her way to the cabinet and grabbed the torch and flicked it on. Buffy carefully walked to the front window and looked out. The street was dark except for the light of the moon.
"Shit," Buffy said. "Home alone in a storm, what could be worse."
Buffy then heard a noise out side and she jumped.
"Great one Buffy, just calm down and stop talking to your self."
Buffy walked over to the phone and looked at it longingly. She could call some one to come and stay with her or to stay with. Buffy sighed. Willow and Tara were at the dorm, which was barely big enough for the two of them and Buffy didn't want to think what Anya and Xander were doing. A smile crept to Buffy's face. Spike. Spike would be home; he was her best friend he would help her out. Buffy picked up the phone praying that the phone wasn't out too then dialed his number. Buffy waited until he finally picked up.
"Listen you bloody pillock, if you think calling me in the middle of a storm is going to rattle me you're wrong, so bugger off."
Buffy was shocked by Spikes out burst then smiled.
"The storm freak you out too?" Buffy asked.
"Buffy?" he asked.
"Yep, sorry didn't mean to scare you."
"Nah luv sorry to yell at you, there are just some weird noises out side and I thought it was some wanker trying to scare me"
"Yeah I know I am jumping all over the place here."
"So what are you up to?" he asked calming a little.
"Trying not to kill my self in the dark."
"You blacked out too."
"Yep, you wanna come over and tell cheesy ghost stories until the storm passes," she asked hopefully.
Spike laughed. "I would love to but I am grounded."
This time it was Buffys turn to laugh. "Your grounded at 21, what did you do?"
"Burnt a hole in dads leather chair while smoking. He hates that I smoke as it is and in the house is a big no no."
"So, you're grounded?"
"Yep, if I go out and dad finds out he will make me pay board, right now I am living rent free."
"Oh," Buffy said glumly.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing it's just its kinda scary here, never really been home on my on."
Spike sighed. "If you're quick, I could come and get you. Dad's going to ring, but I can just say I was in the shower, he will ring back. You know what he is like."
"Are you sure, I don't want to get you in trouble."
"Nah it will be alright. Just grab a few things for tonight and I will be right over."
"Tonight?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah you can stay the night. I don't want to go in the storm more than I have to. I'll bring you back in the morning."
Buffy was a little unsure. Spike was her friend and they always had sleepovers, but usually it was the whole gang. Although the idea of being on her own with Spike was tempting.
"Alright, thanks."
"No prob. Just be waiting when I get there, I don't want to miss me dad, he will cane my ass."
Buffy hanged up the phone and quickly ran up stairs, well as quickly as she could in the dark. She was already in her pajamas and figured she had better stay in them. She wouldn't have time to change and pack to. Buffy grabbed a pair of socks and quickly slipped them on her feet then searched frantically for her sneakers. She quickly found them and put them on. Buffy grabbed her backpack and quickly shoved in a change of clothes for work tomorrow. Anya would be looking after the front so Buffy would just be at the back as usual sorting things out. Satisfied that she had everything she would need Buffy went into her cupboard and grabbed her leather coat. Spike had insisted she buy it when they went shopping one day. He said it would match her pants but it was probably so it would match his coat. Buffy tied the coat around her tightly and ran down the stairs. She looked at her watch and realized that Spike would probably be there soon so she opened the door and stepped outside into the storm. A minute later, Spikes car pulled out front and she quickly ran to the car trying not to slip on the wet path.
"Thanks," she said throwing her self into the car and shutting the door quickly.
"You alright luv, it's a bit hectic out there."
"Yeah fine. Lets just get back to your house quickly, I can just see one of those tress breaking."
Spike nodded and sped off to his house despite the wet road. As soon as they got to Spikes house Buffy was out of the car and on his porch waiting for Spike to open the door. Spike quickly joined her on the step and opened the door allowing them to escape the storm. Buffy fell back on the closed door and started laughing.
"The storm isn't that bad, but I am acting like Dorothy from the wizard of Oz trying to escape the twister."
Spike laughed. "Does that make me toto?"
Buffy whacked Spike in the chest. The phone rang and Spike stumbled his way to the phone.
"'Ello"
"Hello William"
"Hey Dad, how's the buying trip going" Spike started laughing, buying trip his ass.
"The trip is going fine, thank you for your concern," Giles said sternly.
"So what you want."
"William I do wish you would be polite. I just rang to make sure you are home."
"Yes dad I am home, the powers out, but I am home."
"Are you alright?"
"Yes dad I am fine, don't know what the weathers like in L.A but its stormy here."
"Well make sure everything is locked up."
"Will do dad."
"Oh and can you check up on Buffy for Joyce. She didn't want to ring because she wants Buffy to know that she trusts her with the house."
"Yes dad, I will check up on Buffy, and ring if she has burned the house down. I'll go past the gallery tomorrow too ok," Spike complained.
Buffy smiled. She wasn't Giles or Joyce's daughter, but they were still looking out for her.
"Well good night and don't think I won't call back to make sure your still at home cause I will."
"Yeah dad Bye."
Spike hanged up the phone and shook his head, bloody parents. Spike stumbled over to Buffy.
"Why didn't you tell your dad I was here."
"Cause I umm, aren't allowed to have girls stay over especially when dads not here. He doesn't mind what I do as long as it's not under his roof. You know if I don't see it happening it isn't happening."
Buffy laughed. "Maybe I shouldn't be here then."
"No stay," Spike said hastily. "Its ok dad won't find out."
"You sure," she asked nervously.
"Yeah, now come on, I'll set you up in the guest room, as long as I can find it that is."
Buffy followed Spike through the dark house. She had been there numerous times but never had to walk through it in the dark. Spike opened the door to the guestroom and led Buffy in.
"Dump your bag anywhere. Did you want to go to sleep now cause if you want we could do something."
Buffy shrugged. "I guess I should sleep, Anya wants me at the gallery early."
"Ok well I'll leave you. I'll probably go to bed as well, I can sleep knowing that someone else is here. You know the murderer has someone else to kill before me. If you get bored you know where I am."
Buffy nodded then watched as Spike walked out the door. Buffy undid her jacket and took off her shoes. Buffy folded down the sheets and climbed into to bed. Buffy laid back and listened to the rain. The wind was blowing and it was now starting to thunder. A crack of lighting lit up Buffy's room and Buffy held her sheets tight. Thunder roared again this time rattling the windows. Buffy was terrified. The storm was getting worse. Buffy sat up, looked around, then quickly got out of bed and ran out her room. Silently walking down the hall Buffy made it to Spike's room and softly knocked on the door. Spike didn't reply so Buffy opened the door and peeked in. Spike rolled over and looked towards his door.
"Buffy," he asked unsure.
"Yeah, umm this is really embarrassing, but I am scared. The storm is getting bad."
"Come here," he said sitting up and ushering her over with his hand.
Buffy walked over to the bed and stood in front of it. Spike pulled back the sheets and moved over. Buffy climbed in then Spike pulled the covers over them both. Buffy snuggled into the bed.
"Better now" Spike asked.
"Yeah, thanks. Sorry about this."
"Don't worry luv. I was about two seconds away from camping on your floor."
"Ok, well now I don't feel so bad. Are you sure you don't mind sharing your bed?"
"Well Buffy, seeing how you are so fat, maybe you should sleep on the floor."
Buffy elbowed him in the ribs. "This isn't making you feel uncomfortable is it?"
Spike wriggled in his bed a little. "Nope I am perfectly comfortable."
"You idiot."
"Get some sleep, the storm will blow over."
"Ok and thanks again"
Thunder roared and Buffy practically jumped on Spike.
"Shush," Spike said wrapping his arms around Buffy. "It will be ok."
Spike kissed Buffy on the head the rolled over and fell asleep. Buffy snuggled into Spike's back and fell into a happy sleep.
