"No, you're not," Angel replied, "And if you want to talk about it, I'll
be here but we really should go back to the library,"
Amy looked at him for a second, "Why? I'm fine just where I am,"
"Its safer in the library," Angel told her.
"Fine whatever," She muttered. She picked up the fire Ax and headed for the door.
Angel followed after, looking at her oddly.
**************************************************************************** ****
"Okay first we're gonna stop by Willow's house and if there's not enough stuff we're going to the Magic shop, we'll leave the dog in the car any questions?" Buffy asked taking a breath.
"Yeah Willow's not here and niether is Giles, whose gonna do the locator spell?" Xander asked.
Buffy thought for a second, "I don't know, it can't be that hard,"
"I can do it," Amy said.
"Are you sure? Do you know how?" Buffy asked.
"Like you said it's really not that hard," she replied.
"Okay, then how about we split up," Buffy said as they headed out the door of the library, Buffy and Angel in front. **************************************************************************** ****
Buffy, Angel and Oz climbed out of the Truck at Willow's house. Buffy paused for a second not really sure it was a great idea, to leave Xander and Spike especially since Amy's been acting weird lately, but she pushed the thought aside, as they drove off. The moaning sounds of Zombie's interrupted her thoughts, anyways, she sighed. Holding her Katana in a fighting stance ready to fight through the crowd of Zombie's to get to Willow's front door. **************************************************************************** ****
"Wait, stop here," Xander told Amy as she slammed on the brake's causing everyone to jerk foreward.
"Here?" Amy asked.
Xander nodded, "Anyone else here get whiplash?"
Spike cracked his neck from side to side making a loud popping noise, before getting out.
They stepped into the Magic shop, Amy scanned the room a second.
"Xander duck," Amy said.
"Huh?" Xander looked at her oddly.
She yanked him out of the way before two arrows thunked into the wall behind where he'd been standing.
"Thanks," Xander said.
A figure stood up, a teenager, with a crossbow in hand, "D-don't move," the kid stuttered.
"Don't worry we're not Zombie's," Amy informed him.
"How do I know that?" he demanded.
"Because we can talk you stupid git," Spike snapped, "How many Zombie's do you know of that can talk?"
He paused unable to really answer the question since he'd only met the ones that had infested the town, he lowered the crossbow, his eyes still wide in terror. "T-they tried to eat me," the kid exclaimed. Walking up to them and litteraly clinging onto Amy like frightened child.
"Yeah that's what Zombie's do," Spike rolled eyes at the kid.
Amy tensed up slightly unsure of what to do. She gently pushed him off of her, "Did they bite you?" she asked him.
He shook his head, "They tried to, but they didn't," he told her.
"What do we need?" Spike asked.
"We'll need sage, Amethysts, um, Athames, um, anything that could be used for protection spells or purifying," She told him.
All of the sudden the kid started screaming histerically, When Amy looked in the spot that he was looking, which was the ceiling, a large tongue demon thing, clung there, saliva dripping from its mouth as it released the ceiling and landed on the floor, Amy was already holding the broadsword in front of her. The kid continued to scream much to her annoyance.
The demon lashed its tongue out at her, she easily dodged it, it flicked its tongue at her again and she cut it off. The demon shrieked, making a noise so high pitched it drowned out the boy's screaming. She quickly beheaded it, But the boy continued to scream obviously in shock.
Xander headed to the book shelf in the back, "Could someone please shut him up?"
Amy stood in front of him, "Hey kid it's okay, It's dead now,"
The kid still screamed, finally getting on Spike's nerves, Spike Grabbed him by the hair, and bit him. He immediately stopped screaming, Amy looked at him wide-eyed.
"Thanks!," Xander yelled unaware of what had happened.
"What? Did you want some?" Spike asked.
Amy shook her head, "No, was that even necessary?" she demanded.
"he stopped screaming didn't he?" Spike said dropping his body.
Amy put her sword to his neck; an amused grin played across Spike's features.
"Now come on love, I don't think you'd kill me," Spike said drawing his wrist across the blade of the sword as he stepped closer to her. With his other hand he grabbed the hand she held the sword in and forced her to drop it.
"Don't you just want one little taste?" Spike asked.
"Spike, no," she said quietly attempting to step back but Spike pulled her closer, Holding his bleeding wrist close to her face. She smelled the blood, and couldn't resist any longer, she grabbed ahold of his wrist and hungrily gulped down the blood.
"Actions speak louder than words, love," he said quietly grinning in triumph.
Xander watched in utter shock from the back, but decided not to say anything to them since they might turn on him. He stepped back behind the book shelf with the book in hand, pretending he didn't see anything.
"Hey, uh guys I think I found something," Xander called.
Amy quickly dropped Spike's arm, and pulled away from him. She licked the blood off of her lips quickly.
"What'd you find?" Spike asked, still smiling.
"A locating spell, a protection spell and some other stuff I can't read because its in some language, that's not english," Xander said walked out, and looking down at the dead kid, "What happened?"
Spike opened his mouth to say something, but Amy cut him off, "The demon killed him,"
Xander nodded knowing she ws full of it, but didn't say anything.
"I think I saw some sage and stuff over there," he pointed.
Amy quickly headed in that direction grabbing a few athame's off the shelf on the way.
**************************************************************************** ****
"Well we might as well stay here, The sun's coming up and I don't think anyone's gotten any sleep," Buffy said to Oz and Angel who sat on willow's couch.
"They're here," Angel stated, hearing the truck pull up.
"Think they need help?" Buffy asked looking out the window as zombies swarmed the truck.
"I think they got it," Oz said noticing the Zombies tumbling down in a domino effect as Amy kicked one.
They burst through the door carrying bags, weapons and a wiggling puppy.
"Did you miss us?" Xander asked slamming the door shut and setting down Blair, who immediately jumped up between Oz and Angel.
"Depends did you find anything?" Buffy asked.
"Y'up, protection spell, locating spells, sage, knives, etc." Xander replied.
"Athame's not knives," Amy said.
"Whatever," Xander said, "Oh yeah we found someone alive, but uh he died,"
"What, alive, so there could be more survivors then, was he gonna turn?" Buffy asked.
"No at least that' s what he said, one of the tongue things killed him, right?" Xander asked them.
Amy nodded.
"Well we're gonna stay here, since no one's slept, and the suns coming up, then we can start again tomorrow," Buffy told them.
****** ONE HOUR LATER ******
Angel had wondered to the kitchen and was looking out the window at the zombies that stumbled blindly through the streets. Since the sun hadn't come all the way up. He was able to looked out the window without burning. Angel's head snapped up as he heard foots steps behind him.
"What is it Xander?" He asked.
"Hey uh, yeah I just thought I should tell you, um, they don't know I saw but, that guy, the one we found, was killed by Spike," Xander said.
"Why am I not surprised?" Angel said bluntly.
"Wait that's not it, um, She was um, drinking his blood," Xander told him.
"The kid's?" Angel asked, turning away from the window.
"No Spike's" Xander replied, sounding just as surprised as Angel was.
"What? Are you sure? Did he drink hers?" Angel said firing off a series of questions.
"Y'up I'm sure, no he didn't drink hers," Xander answered.
Angel sighed and walked out into the living room, Spike was asleep on the floor, Buffy lay asleep on one couch and Amy lay eyes wide open on the other while Oz sat on the floor with Blair in his lap.
Angel touched her on the shoulder causing her to jump, she looked up at him questioningly, and he gestured for her to follow him. She got up and followed him into the kitchen, Xander immediately walked out.
"What?" Amy asked him bluntly.
"Are you.okay?" Angel asked her.
"Didn't we go over this already?" Amy snapped.
"Yeah well that was before you drank Spike's blood wasn't it?" Angel asked casually.
Amy froze, "W-what are y-you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me, please, and please don't lie to me, I can smell him on you," Angel snapped, "Or did you already?"
Amy sighed, "My people, I mean the demon half, they have a natural blood lust, they can't help it, I've been able to supress it, but."
"Spike, figured it out, or he doesn't know what he's figured out," Angel said, "You could've said no,"
"I did," Amy said looking away from him.
"Yeah well, actions speak louder than words," Angel said.
"Funny that's what he said, but I couldn't help it, The small taste he gave me earlier wasn't enough its like an addiction." Amy explained.
"Earlier?" Angel asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah when we went to the uh, military place," She said still looking away.
"You're not to go anywhere near him, or anywhere with him, because, next he's gonna have you feeding off a human and then he's gonna have you killing humans, so stay away from him okay?" Angel told her.
She nodded, "I really hope they invent a patch for this," **************************************************************************** ****
Buffy paced the library, "Okay we should just search the whole Military headquarters, top to bottom, but make sure we don't get caught,"
"That may take awhile, and I'd prefer not to get shot by soldiers guys with guns," Amy said. Blair came up to her sniffed at her leg then jumped into her lap. Amy stroked her head, but then caught a whiffed of the dogs scent, and the blood lust kicked in.
"Oz um, can you take her, please?" she asked.
"Um yeah, are you okay?" he asked picking up the dog.
"Yeah I'm fine I just need to find a bathroom," Amy said darting out of the room.
Spike grinned knowingly, and Angel tossed him and evil glare.
Spike looked at him innocently, "What?"
"I think you know what," Angel replied.
Amy looked at him for a second, "Why? I'm fine just where I am,"
"Its safer in the library," Angel told her.
"Fine whatever," She muttered. She picked up the fire Ax and headed for the door.
