Buffy couldn't take much more! If she had to hear Spike sing, 'I Wanna be
Sedated.' one more time, she was going to scream. In fact, she wished she
could be sedated! She hadn't been able to sleep all night and it wasn't
just because of Spike's singing. She was worried, but for some strange
reason she felt like she could trust Spike.
It was getting close to sun up and Spike had already said he wasn't going to let her drive his baby. Spike was so different; he acted so not like Angel. Here they were, running for there lives and he was joking and singing. He was like a big kid.
"Spike why are you like this?"
"What do you mean luv?"
"Well, you act so happy."
"I am. This is the type of thing that gets me going Slayer, I love a battle."
"Where are we?" She asked, as Spike pulled the car over to the side of the road under a shady bridge.
"Nevada. Time to get some sleep." Spike said, easing the driver's side seat back and shutting his eyes, "Night Slayer."
"What? You have got to be kidding! You expect me to stay here, in this car all day? Why don't we get a motel room?" She asked, hopefully. Anything would be better than this.
"Oh Bloody Hell! Fine." Spike said, putting the seat back up and starting up the engine.
Meanwhile, the Scoobies and Angel were worried sick about Buffy. Giles had called Joyce to be sure she didn't call the police. Joyce was scared to death; worried that Buffy was in real danger but her friends and Giles telling her everything would be fine; to leave it up to them to find her.
So G-man, what's the plan?"
"Xander, how many times have I asked you not to call me that?" Giles said irritation in his voice.
"Sorry. What about you Angel? Are you going to let Buffy die?"
Angel knew what he had to do, "I'll go to the factory and get Buffy out of there tonight. She'll be fine as long as they don't start the ritual," He said.
Willow and Jenny were busy in the computer lab; researching the ritual and looking for any loop hole they could possibly find in order to stop it.
"Ms. Calendar there is nothing here." Willow said.
"I know," Ms Calendar answered her, "We just have to hope that the others can get to Buffy in time."
"I can't believe you told the clerk we're newlyweds." Buffy said, making an 'ewww' face at Spike.
"What? He bought it and we got a nice discount on our room." Spike said, smugly.
"It figures there would be only one room left. What are you doing?"
"What does it look like? I'm watching the telly."
"I thought you had to get your sleep."
"I'm not tired anymore."
"So, do you watch TV during the day often?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah, now and then."
"I just always thought that vampires slept during the day. I mean Angel does."
"I don't want to hear about the poof."
"Oh my gosh! I have call Giles and let him know I'm ok. I've also got to get some different clothes, and something to sleep in. Know what else? I'm starving. Think I'm going to go to the store. I'll look for a butcher's shop while I'm out, too, ok? So you can get some blood?" Buffy said.
"Oh don't worry about that. I can eat while you're gone." Spike said with a grin.
"Let me guess, you are going to eat the clerk or a motel guest? I don't think so Spike. I'm not letting you feed off anyone!"
"Bloody Hell! I'm not drinking pig's blood!"
"Yes you are."
"Am not."
"Are too. Look, I'm not going to argue with you about this. If you want me to help, you can't feed. Deal?"
"I guess I don't have a bloody choice now, do I?" Spike said sulking.
Buffy smiled and went to make her call.
"Giles, hey."
"Buffy. Are you alright? Where are you?"
"Uh, Nevada."
"Where?" Giles asked with disbelief.
"Look, Spike helped me escape. We got caught and now Al is after both of us."
"Why did Spike help you?"
"Because he doesn't want to end the world and he doesn't like Al, and he wants me to help get rid of him."
"Buffy I hope you have another plan."
"Al was going to end the world using my blood."
"Yes I know. We found a ritual. It can only be performed once every fifty years, which is tonight at midnight. So, that means you can come home soon.
"Actually, I can't come home until after my slayer strength comes back. I was given some type of drug by Al; Spike doesn't know what it was."
"Are you sure he isn't just lying." Giles asked with suspicion.
"No I don't think so, he needs me," Buffy said, then asked, "What about my mother"?
"I called her and told her to let us take care of everything. She agreed, but she wasn't very happy about it."
"Well at least you stopped her from calling the cops. Look Giles, I have to go. Tell everyone I'm ok and not to worry. Bye."
Giles walked out of his office and told everyone that Buffy was fine and with Spike. This seemed to worry everyone even more. Especially Angel, because he knew what Spike was capable of and thought that this had to be some sort of trap. At that moment Cordelia walked in.
"Hey, has Buffy saved the world yet?" She asked, surprised to see Angel there.
"You look even paler than usually. Buffy can't save the world this time can she? We are all going to die!" She whined.
Xander interrupted and said, "As much as I love to see you freak out, Buffy is the one who's in trouble; she's in a motel room in Nevada with Spike."
Giles decided it would be best for him to explain and told everyone to sit down.
"So what did the watcher say?" Spike asked.
"Basically, not to trust you and the ritual can only be performed every fifty years, which happens to be tonight, at midnight."
"So, we're just stuck here until you can kick Al's sodden ass back to where he came from." He exclaimed smiling.
"Yeah, well it's a good thing I can still do normal things, at least. Give me your keys." Buffy said, holding out her hand.
"You're not driving my car!"
"Do you expect me to walk?"
"Yes! There's a convenience store right across the street and a clothing store only a few blocks away."
"Ok, what about blood?"
"You're strong, you can walk."
"But I don't have my strength." Buffy protested.
"Think of it as a test pet." Spike said, with a wicked grin
"You win this time. I'm off to the store. Spike remember to be good while I'm gone."
"I'm not good, I am evil! Hey Slayer, see if you can get some spicy buffalo wings and some beer."
"You eat? Spike you are the weirdest vampire I have ever met."
"I prefer unique."
Buffy rolled her eyes and left.
When Buffy walked back in Spike was standing beside the bed in nothing but a towel.
"Spike put some clothes on!"
Buffy had her hands full with groceries. Spike walked over to help her and his towel fell, at the same time Buffy dropped the bags. Spike wasn't embarrassed he just bent down and helped pick up the bags, but all Buffy could do was stare at his body. It was perfect, from his lean muscular abs, strong arms and legs to his huge cock. Buffy's mouth went dry and her body was getting hot. She had never seen one and here Spike stood in all his naked glory.
Spike decided just to stand there to see what the slayer's reaction would be, but he didn't expect her to get so hot and bothered. He decided he might as well tease her a bit.
"So Slayer, like what you see?"
"I well, I" Buffy stammered.
"It's alright; I know you're a virgin."
"What?" she asked her eyes wide with embarrassment?
"Well, Angelus would have had you a long time ago, but peaches; he's too much of a gentleman."
"Put some clothes on!" Buffy shouted.
"Fine."
"You know my sex life is none of your business!"
"You mean non-sex life?"
"Shut up! I'm going to take a shower."
"I'm sure you will be taking a cold shower luv."
"Ego much?"
"No, just confident .You know this isn't the normal size and mine is larger than Angels; I don't care to tell you how I know this." Spike stated raising his scarred eyebrow.
Buffy slammed the bathroom door, stripped and got in the shower. She made the water as cold as possible. She was not turned on by Spike. It was just he was the first naked guy she had ever seen. She was a normal female after all and had hormones. Yeah, she would have reacted the same way if she saw Xander naked.
Buffy got out of the shower and put her new tank top and sweat pants on and went out the door to find Spike drinking blood and watching TV.
"Did you have a nice shower pet?"
"It was great." She said awkwardly.
Spike just laughed and told her to sit down and make herself comfortable.
It was getting close to sun up and Spike had already said he wasn't going to let her drive his baby. Spike was so different; he acted so not like Angel. Here they were, running for there lives and he was joking and singing. He was like a big kid.
"Spike why are you like this?"
