An Empty Hear and an Un-beating Heart
Strange World:
She didn't never heard the roar of the motorcycle until it came to a stop about twenty yards from where she knelt. It was HIS motorcycle. She saw HIM tell something to his companion and distinctly heard him yell the word "NOW!" before Andrew fled off past her.
The man clad in a leather duster, worn black jeans, a black muscle shirt, and shiny black Doc Martins came striding towards her with sympathy in his face that one would not expect from a vampire. He reached out his hand and pulled her up, not saying a word. His cloudy blue eyes searched her emerald ones compassionately.
" They expelled me. They want Faith. " she said, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks.
He just continued to look at her and somehow his gaze made everything seem a little less hurtful. No more words were needed between them, he understood. They began to walk further away from her old home, leaving his motorcycle parked on the side of the street.
We walk without a sound Across a barren landscape Your eyes are twisted down To the dew entrailed ground We watch the stars As they slowly fade away And in the clearing sky I see The cold stone face of morning Setting in on me
"The sun'll be up soon. We need to get somewhere, " she murmured.
It's a strange world It's a very strange world That leaves me holding on To nothing when there's nothing Left to lose
He nodded his head and bravely took her hand in his won. She kept following him, not pulling away.
Your touch is cold and damp The devil's in your eyes I wonder why I always Let you lead me on this way
He broke in the door of a hotel lodge, it was recently abandoned due to the impending apocalypse. He walked behind the desk and grabbed a key to a room. They walked to the room matching the key number and went in.
"The windows are fake," Buffy commented with a raspy voice. "How come there aren't any windows from the inside?"
" This is a demon motel luv."
She didn't say anything about him not having told her before about a demon business in Sunnydale, it wasn't important anymore.
'Cause you see only What you want to see Feel only as you want to And I am on the outside Of your strange world
Their eyes met again and they couldn't turn away from each other.
It's a strange world It's a very strange world That leaves me holding on To nothing when there's nothing Left to lose
In another act of bravery Spike closed the gap between them and captured her lips with his own. The kiss was tender and passionate all in one. There hands clasped together above their heads and they stayed that way for several minutes.
We're walking hand in hand We'll walk this way forever Our eyes have risen to the water's edge Watching with the tides The stars have fallen To another day And the sun warms our path to find That reason leaves us far behind In this strange world
Buffy softly pushed him away and turned away from him searching for air and composure. Spike awaited her reaction.
It's a strange world It's a very strange world That leaves me holding on To nothing when there's nothing Left to lose
A/N: More to come, will have more to do with next episode trailer in the next chapter. BTW, the titles of the chapters are the names of the songs by Sarah Mclachlan that I quote.
