A/N: Ok I'm back, it's been like six months and I just reread my chapters
and realized I liked them too much to stop writing. So I'm gonna post a few
more chapters in hope of reviews. This story is really more in character of
Rhett and Scarlet than Buffy and Spike but oh well, I really think that
they are so much alike maybe I can still pull it off. Ok also Principal
Wood will be kind of in Dr. Mead's role.
Ashes in the Wind
Chapter Five
Buffy walked through the mass of injured teenage girls strewn about the high school halls after their latest battle with the bringers. She couldn't deal with this anymore. She was tired of fighting, tired of seeing young girls attempting to save the world. She had to get out of there, the Scoobies could clean up the mess.
She walked out the front entrance into the night. What she found was more chaos. Sunnydale residents had had enough, and this time they were fleeing. Cars and pedestrians alike jammed the streets. She had never seen the resilient town in such a state of panic. She wasn't sure what to do. Then she saw Spike drive up on his motorcycle.
"Buffy! Get on, this is no night for walking, luv. You'll get run over.
She ran up to the bike and swung her leg over the back of it and wrapped her arms around Spike's hard chest.
"Will you take me home Spike?" she asked her voice choked.
He started the engine and took off maneuvering it between people and vehicles.
"Panic's a pretty sight isn't it." He began talking casually. "That's just another one of the First's calling cards. He's loving this no doubt. "
"Don't talk to me like that Spike! I'm so scared I wish I could just leave Sunnydale for good."
"Why don't we get out of here together? There's no use waiting around here, there's too many nice places to visit before the world ends.Tahiti, Rome, Africa."
"With you? Are you kidding me?"
"Yes pet, with me. I'm the one who understands you and admires you for just what you are. I figure we belong together, being the same sort. I've been waiting for you to get the broody old pouf out of your heart. I hear he's started his own little crime fighting business up there. It's going to be hard to lure a man with a successful business in another city. Well her we are" he said pulling up to the house. " You gonna come with me or are you getting out?"
Buffy jumped of the bike and turned to look at him. " I hate and despise you Spike, and I will hate and despise you till the day that I die!" She turned and started to stomp off.
" Oh no you won't Buffy!" he shouted at her retreating form. "Not that long!"

Two weeks later Buffy was in her room packing.
"Gong somewhere?" came Robin Wood's suave voice.
"Yes," replied Buffy in a choked voice. "And don't try to stop me. I've been through too many apocalypses, I can't handle it anymore. I just want to be normal now, I don't care what happens."
"You can't leave now! Those girls are counting on you, the world is counting on you!"
"Screw the world!"
"We're in the middle of an apocalypse, you can't just quit!"
"Look, if I see any demons, bringers, or other nasties wherever I'm going, I'll kill them. But I will not stay around here any longer."
With that she stormed out of the house with her leather bag. She didn't know where she was going but she only knew one way to get out of there. She ran to Willy's Place and found Spike walking out the door.
"Spike! I knew I'd find you here!"
"Good evening. Nice weather we're having eh?"
"If you make any jokes now I'll stake you, I swear!"
"Don't tell me your frightened?"
"I'm terrified Spike" she yelled have angry and half crying. " If you had any sense you'd be scared too. We've got to get out of here."
"At your service madam, and just where do you think your headed? "
"Um, well I'm not sure. Oh! I sent my mom to live with Grandma in San Diego. I want to go there. I want to see my mom!"
'You want to go to San Diego? Don't you know that a lot of bad stuff had been happening there? Little girls getting kidnapped, bum fights, and have you seen how the Padres are playing this year?"
"Spike! If you make one more joke your dust! Take me to my mother NOW!"
"Listen pet, I hate to tell you this but your mum probably fled the city, all the major Californian cities have been faced with The First. There's not a big chance of you finding her there."
"I'm going there if I have to walk every step of the way! I'll kill you if you try to stop me! I will! I will! I will!" she shrieked hysterically.
"It's all right pet, it's all right. Now you shall go there. I guess anybody who did what you've done these last few years deserves that at least. Stop crying. Come on my bike's in the ally. We'll get you down there nice and safe."
