Chapter 4
Buffy opened her eyes. It was the hunger that did it. She was totally hungry and couldn't stay asleep anymore. The hunger crawled under her skin and through her veins and she couldn't stand it! She wanted to eat so badly, but she didn't know if she could move. She felt funny and weak.
"It's alright, luv," Spike said in her ear.
Buffy turned and saw the vampire she loved looking at her. "Hungry," she said.
"I know, luv," Spike said. He looked so very sad. "But you have to wait for Red to do the spell.
Buffy frowned. She didn't understand what Spike was talking about. All she knew was that she was so very hungry. "Eat ...." she said, and whimpered.
"Oh, pet, I know you want to eat. Trust me, okay? You have to wait."
Buffy began to cry. She was so hungry she didn't know what to do, and Spike wouldn't let her eat anything. She didn't understand anything!
"You're pretty weak, huh?" Spike said.
Buffy nodded and whimpered. "Hungry ..." she repeated.
"Okay. I'll go get you something to eat if you promise to stay right here, okay?" Spike said.
Buffy tried to smile, but the pain was just too great. She whimpered again and curled up into a fetal position.
"I'll be right back. I'll just run to the butcher shop and come right back with something for you, okay?"
Buffy didn't hear him. The hunger hurt too bad.

"Dawn, you're such a clumsy little bitch!" Xander screamed.
Willow started crying. "I can't believe you didn't look where you were going! Now the Orb of Thesulah is broken and we can't give Buffy her soul back! Do you know what this means?" Willow whined.
"That ... that ..." Dawn stuttered, tears flowing down her face.
"It means we'll have to stake Buffy!" Xander said, grabbing a crossbow. "I'm going to the mansion. You'd better hope Spike was able to get there in time, or your Slayer sister is gonna be dust."
Dawn cried and threw herself at Xander. "oh, no, please don't kill her! We can get another Orb! We can put her in chains until we get one, so she won't hurt anyone! Willow, tell him!"
"She's right, Xander," Willow said. "I should be able to get another Thesalean Orb on eBay in a few days! You don't have to kill Buffy just because you hate vampires!"
"Even if you get another Orb, Willow, Buffy will still be a vampire! She'll be a dirty filthy soulless dead evil nothing of a vampire and that's disgusting!" Xander pulled away from Dawn where she was clutching at his legs. "i'm going to go put her out of her misery now."
And with that, Xander set off for the mansion.
