Spike heard the cries echo in his head.
The only time her could hear her was when she cried. It was the ultimate torture. Listening to Buffy cry was worse than anything the demons of hell did to him.
It was special torture. He was stabbed shot beat and burnt daily. They would cut him nearly in half leaving only inches of flesh then put him in a vat of blood to heal him. He was starved and taunted but none of that hurt him as much as the sound of Buffy in pain.
They would drug him into seeing her and dawn dead. Lying in pieces on the ground so that not even his dreams were refuge but torture. He had been in Hell for approximately 200 years.
Only these last few years, who knows how many, he had been able to sense Buffy physically. Some times he could even see her. It was getting stronger. He was building his strength. For what he didn't know. He felt like he could fight the pain that his daily beatings produced. And once, For some reason… while he was being burned by red pokers, He had billowed up his voice and had screamed
'Renee'
He had never in all his years met a girl named Renee. It had just come to him.
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~ Buffy had been sleeping peacefully on Giles's couch for nearly half and hour when she shot up and held her stomach.
"Buffy? Buffy what is it?"
" I had… a dream."
FLASHBACK
She had been sitting in a field somewhere and a little girl came bouncing up to her. Buffy looked at her and the child took her hand
"Follow me mummy"
Buffy stood and followed obediently.
They were walking down the street and she saw a vampire preparing to feed on a woman. Buffy went to grab her stake and attack but the little girl held her hand. She was remarkably strong. So much that Buffy was unable to budge one centimeter.
"Stop mummy. Let me do it"
Buffy stopped. The little girl walked up to the vampire in her white dress and red curly hair bouncing with her step.
She touched the vampires arm.
"You should not do that" she told the vampire. It slumped on a wall. Its demon face shifting to human as it began to cry.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" It sobbed
"Do not be sorry. Love. Love and you shall be forgiven. Come stand with me." She helped the man to his feet. She kissed his cheek.
"You shall live in love now." The scene dematerialized in front of Buffy's eyes. She felt a tug and her hand and turned to see the girl
'What did you do to him"
"I made him better I made him live"
"Who are you?"
"I am peace. But you call me Renee."
"Renee?" Buffy began to cry
"Please do not be sad mummy I will make it better." She kissed her cheek
"Trust in me mummy. I will make the whole world better. Just watch I will do it."
She smiled and walked about 5 feet away
"There is someone who wants to talk to you mummy" She blew into her hand and again the scene dematerialized. She saw Spike in front of her looking around with tears in his eyes
"Spike?" he looked to her in surprise then shut his eyes tightly
"Spike what's wrong
"I won't look!" he yelled
"Why not?"
"I can't see it again. I don't want to watch you die. No more!"
He screamed tears fighting their way out of his closed eyelids.
She touched him
"Spike"
"It's a trick"
"No it's not Spike look at me" he opened his eyes
"Buffy?"
"Spike. O god. Where are you"
"I'm I'm in hell. And you were crying. Don't cry Buffy." He sobbed into her shoulder.
"I'm not going to cry."
"O Buffy I missed you so much I love you"
"I love you too Spike. I never said it but I love you. And I don't know if this is real or not but I love you, I love you so much"
"That little girl she told me" He swallowed
"She told me that I could go home. That she would come and take me home"
"Home?" Buffy cried
He nodded "home."
She hugged him tighter
"Buffy I love you but I have to go. I feel them. They're coming for me."
"Don't go"
"Have to luv," She kissed him passionately and the she woke up
