Chapter Four - The Cell
"Spike?" she repeated when there was no response from the depths of the cavern.
"Bloody Hell!!!" was the reply.
"Oh, Spike, thank God I've found you. Giles came back, and, there was a prophecy, and, we didn't know where you were, and, you left me MONEY, and," she realized she was babbling from shock. "Sorry, I'm surprised. Where are you?"
She heard a rumbling growl. "Stay away, Slayer. I've got my rocks back, now, y'know, and I don't think the Nibblet would appreciate me killin' big sis."
"You got the chip out?" Buffy said in amazement. "Wow. How did that go?"
"Slayer," Spike ground out, "I don't wanna have a bleedin' conversation here with ya. I'm tryin' to give you a runnin' start, 'cause of our past relationship. I can only hold myself back from killin' ya for so long."
"Spike, why would you want to kill me?" Buffy asked, to prolong the conversation. She was trying to pin-point his location from his speech. Then, if he attacked, she would be ready.
"Slayer, I told you, I'm de-chipped and re-fanged. I'm the Big Bad again, baby, and I won't give you another chance. You'd better go."
"Go?" Buffy replied skeptically. "In case you haven't noticed, we're locked in here, and it's pitch black, AND way stinky too."
Spike sighed, "Yes, I know. Just feel your way along the wall until you come to a corner. Walk down the wall about ten steps. If you tap, you'll hear a hollow sound. It's a patched area. With your Slayer strength, you should be able to kick through. There's a path goes all the way to the surface."
"Really." Buffy considered. "Why are YOU still here then if you know how to escape? What is there, Trolls or something on the other side?"
"No, Buffy," Spike said gently, "There's not. Please just go now, while you still can."
Buffy was having very mixed feelings about this whole scenario. Her slayer senses were telling her that Spike wouldn't harm her, but he was telling her otherwise. And him calling her Buffy just now, in that tender and sweet way that he used to have, that didn't mesh with him threatening to kill her. Suddenly, she remembered the flashlight that JB had given her. She had tucked it into her boot as the demons were manhandling her into the cell. She reached down quietly and pulled out the light. * Let's see what we've gotten into here * she thought. She pointed it in the direction that Spike's voice had come from, and pressed the switch.
"Oh My GOD!" she cried, and reflexively pressed the switch again, plunging them once more into total darkness.
"I told you to leave, Buffy," Spike sighed. "You never listen to me. Sodding women!"
