Willow's Savior
Chapter 11
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon does, the lucky guy.
Authors Note: Rated R for a few curse words and talk of sex. About the same as an episode but better safe then sorry. Takes place after Spike got the chip and there is no Tara.
The Attack
As they entered the abandoned warehouse, Xander and Giles took the front entrance, while Spike and I entered through the left side. What we saw once we all got down to the ground level was quite disturbing. The Codra was attempting to chain Buffy to the wall next to the other girls, surrounded by an alter-like structure, complete with a sacrificial platform and restraints.
Just as it seemed as if Buffy may have gotten the best of the demon temporarily, he knocked her clear off her feet with an upper-cut to her chin and she collapsed in a heap at his feet. Before the demon could do further damage to the Slayer we all rushed forward and attacked.
Xander with his battle axe, Giles with a Scottish claymore that he just so happened to have laying around, me with the blade that would supposedly kill it, and Spike who was trying to beat it to a pulp with his bare hands.
We didn't do enough damage however, before the demon batted us away like we were merely recalcitrant playthings, haphazardly knocking us across the room. We were still groggily getting to our feet when the Codra demon began spewing more of that green mist he is so partial to, causing us all to start coughing and become extremely light-headed.
The only one of us who wasn't adversely affected by the gas was Spike who took advantage of this fact, by trying to behead the little bugger. Unfortunately, he missed his target by inches, getting clawed across the chest for his trouble, although the now heavily bleeding demon did stop making the noxious mist before it was knocked away from the vampire.
Once the effects of the mist were out of my system, I looked around only to find Spike lying in a pool of his own blood unmoving, a couple of feet away from where Buffy was shakily getting to her feet. Woozily, I made my way to where Spike was lying.
"Spike!" I shook him anxiously. He was still alive, although his skin had acquired an unhealthy gray tinge to it. "Come on, baby. Don't do this to me." I begged, not noticing the tears that were falling down my cheeks, nor the angry demon heading straight in my direction.
"Willow, look out!" Buffy screamed frantically, causing my to look up only to see the Codra demon baring down on me, too late for me to evade it.
