He Comes Back to Her
By: Unipeg
Part 5
Disclaimer: Again I say, don't own anything Buffy, Joss Whedon and Co. does. But, I do own Dracaino, I made him up.
Author's Note: Now that I am confirmed Kennedy is with Willow.
So, I decided to add her into this. Yes, for those of you confused
this is after Season 7.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, I lose one, I get another. Thank-you Takar for
bringing me this little beauty." Dracaino said admiring the
unconscious Willow.
"You're quite welcome my friend. I warn you though, she's
a powerful Wicca." Takar said walking out the door.
"I don't think she be much of a threat to me." Dracaino
said walking over to her.
********************************************
"We need to save her." Xander said walking around the
room with a worried look on his face.
"We need a plan and I don't believe she will be hurt too
much or killed." Angel said in a comforting tone to Xander.
"Angel's right. Now, stop panicking or you're going to have
a heart attack before we have kids." Anya said patting Xanders
shoulder.
"Kids?! Never mind. Why not? He has her." Xander said
disbelieving.
"Slayers are his interest. He is probably holding her to
get Buffy to come back." Angel replied looking down at the
sleeping slayer.
"We need magic. Willow was our main source, but we'll have
to do this ourselves, so Buffy can save her. Angel, you are good
with magic, are you not?" Giles explained looking at Angel.
"I can, if it'll help Buffy beat him, then that is our only
hope." Angel said softly holding Buffy's hand in his.
"What spell are you talking about?" Buffy asked confused
waking up.
"Giles and I were talking about an enhancing spell to help
you heal." Angel explained to her.
"I guess I should call Kennedy to tell her what is going
on." Xander said picking up the phone and dialing.
**********************************************
"You finally awaken little witch." Dracaino said sitting
in his chair.
Willow muttered something under her breath, then looked confused.
She tried a few more times until she realized nothing happened.
"Don't try any spells, they will only fail." Dracaino
said coming up to her.
"Buffy is going to kick your ass real hard if you hurt me."
Willow said finally looking up at him.
"Oh, really. And just where is Buffy? Oh, that's right,
she left so fast she forgot all about you." Dracaino said
in a taunting voice.
Willow started screaming something in a different language and
her eyes turned black as she stared at him and he flew back.
She spoke something else and melted her restraints off her hands.
She started running out yelling "Thicken" behind her
and slowed down Dracaino.
"She just caught me off guard." Dracaino whispered
to himself then went to the other side of the room to drink from
his blood glass.
************************************************
"I don't think we should try this on me without Willow
here." Buffy said in a tired tone.
"You're right, Angel might screw up while holding his incense
stick." Xander said with a smirk.
"Xander, don't say anything that might wanna make Angel snap
your neck, I am not able to stop him." Buffy said glaring
at Xander.
"Ok, fine. I just don't want him to turn you into a toad.
Because that wouldn't be a very effective Slayer." Xander
said jokingly.
"Haha, very funny. I am not in a very funny mood." Buffy
said smiling slightly.
"Besides I know this magic better than you." Angel said
looking at Xander.
Suddenly the door opens and Willow rushes right into Xander knocking
him onto the floor.
"Hey, guys I'm ok, no need to come save me. Oh, Xander I'm
sorry." Willow said helping Xander up.
"It's ok Will, I'm just happy your here. And you can help
with the spell." Xander said getting up then sitting in
a chair.
"Um, it's a spell to help me heal faster. I would rather
have you do this than these amateurs." Buffy said giving
them looks.
"Hey, I resent that. I am good when it comes to magic and
you know it." Angel said looking Buffy in the eye.
"Sorry, but I wasn't referring to the spell, I was talking
about the bickering between you and Xander." Buffy said
correctively.
"oh, I see. Well, I'll be the mature one and stop fighting."
Angel said sincerely.
"Good for you. Now let's get me healed so I can kill Dracaino."
Buffy said looking at Willow.
"Ok, I'll get started. You have everything I need for this?"
Willow asked them.
Suddenly the door opens again and Kennedy rushes in bumping into
Giles knocking his book out of his hand.
"Sorry, Giles. I am here to go save Wil...." Kennedy
said getting up noticing Willow standing there.
"Hey Kennedy. I'm here." Willow said going to Kennedy
giving her a kiss.
***************************************
"I will have that Slayer no matter what it takes."
Dracaino said to his minions.
"Yes, sir, you will. You are the best! Better than Dracu..."
The minion said being cut off.
"You weren't going to say that name....I thought so. Now
go get on with the plan." Dracaino said sending his minions
away.
"Ok, guys, now we spread around the house and as soon as
the little girl comes out we grab her." A minion said to
a group of vampires.
They headed out and eventually got to Giles house. They circled
it and watched through the windows. One of the vampires accidentally
bumped a window. Angel heard the noise. He went to look out
side, as soon as he looked Spike walked up.
"Oh, Spike. What do you want?" Angel said calmly.
"I just came to tell the Slayer something, but if you don't
want me around then I'll see her on patrol." Spike said
with his head down.
"No, it's fine. She got tortured by him. Willow did a enhancing
spell so she could heal faster. Come in." Angel explained
opening the door wider.
"Alright, plus did you guys know that the house is surrounded
by vampires?" Spike said as he walked inside.
"Spike, what are you doing here, and what vampires?"
Buffy asked getting up.
"Hey, Buffy, I heard what happen. How you feelin'?"
Spike said with concern.
"I'm ok. There are vampires now watching us. Man, he is
really intent on getting me." Buffy said with a hint of anger
in her voice.
"Well, yeah, he has an obsession with Slayers." Angel
said calmly looking at her.
"Yeah, and he doesn't stop until you're dead or his mate
or when he gets tired of you being his mate and then he...he's
very twisted." Spike said taking in that he was saying to
much from the look on her face. "Hey, it's only the truth,
but you have us. You'll make it." Spike continued taking
her chin in his hand.
"Uh huh, I know." Buffy said with a tear running down
her cheek. She then went to upstairs.
Angel went to follow, but Spike grabbed his arm and looked at
him.
"Let me talk to her. She'll probably want you anyways, but
I wanna try." Spike said going upstairs after Angel nodded.
Spike got to the top and barely saw her through the doorway of
Giles room. She was crying.
"Hey now, enough with the tears tell me what's wrong."
Spike said calmly wrapping his arms around her.
" I was trying to be brave and holding it in, but the truth
is I'm actually kind of scared." Buffy said crying out into
his shirt.
"Do you want Peaches, he might be able to help you feel better."
Spike said looking into her eyes.
"Yes, thanks." Buffy said and kissed him lightly on
the cheek. Spike Smiled.
Downstairs Spike told Angel to go up. Her friends started asking
Spike about her.
"She just needs time. Now let the love of her life handle
it." Spike said to them.
Angel grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen and went upstairs.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Angel said concerned handing her
the glass.
"How'd you know I was parched? And I am just a little scared."
Buffy said taking the glass and downing it.
"I see. I know how you feel. I have witnessed him take
a slayer." Angel said sliding closer and putting his arm
around her.
"I know I have you and the others, but this guy really hurt
me." Buffy said starting to cry again.
"It's ok. I know how to beat him. I talked with Willow,
she said it's possible to make him weaker." Angel said comforting
her and looking at her lighten up.
"That's good. I just need time. I am so sleepy."
Buffy said leaning on his shoulder.
"Well, then you should get some sleep. I'll be down with
the others helping." Angel said and kissed her cheek.
*****************************
"Those minions are such idiots. Where are they?"
Dracaino said softly and angrily in a haunting voice.
"They will fail. But she will come to you. Are you prepared?"
Takar said appearing out of nowhere.
"I am. I have all I need. She is just like any other slayer
in her strength." Dracaino said reassuringly.
"Well, all I have to say then, is good luck." Takar
said sarcastically and left.
Dracaino looked curious as to why his friend said that to him.
******************************
Three hours later. Four o'clock in morning. Willow had fallen
asleep on her computer with Kennedy, Giles was sleeping on his
desk, Dawn was sleeping on a chair, and Xander was sleeping with
a book in his face and Anya laying on him on the couch. And Spike
and Angel were still reading wide awake.
"So you still like the night like a vampire, I see."
Spike said softly to him.
"Yeah, kinda a hard schedule to change." Angel said
then looked at the time.
"Well, you gonna go wake her? I can get the rest of them."
Spike said getting up.
"I guess so. We should get him before sunrise." Angel
said getting up and going upstairs to the bedroom. There he saw
her sleeping soundly and peacefully.
"Buffy....Buffy...Time to get up." Angel said softly,
gently shaking her.
"Hmmm?....I want more sleep." Buffy said as she opened
her eyes.
"Well, I just thought we should face him before daylight.
You know attack surprise." Angel said kissing her lightly
on the lips.
"Ok, I guess your right. I don't get any coffee?" Buffy
said after the kiss and used her pouty lips.
"Don't give me that. I am immune to it. But, I'll still
get you coffee." Angel said tickling her.
"Heehee...Stop it.....I give up." Buffy said wiggling
and poking him.
"Ok, I'll go get your coffee, but then I can continue tickles
on you." Angel said teasingly.
Angel went downstairs to the kitchen and started brewing some
coffee. Dawn ran upstairs quickly when Angel went into the kitchen.
Buffy was stretching in her training clothes. Dawn entered quietly
and walked over to the bed. Buffy was in a hand stand. She's
sees the bed move.
"Angel, you got my coffee?" Buffy said while staying
in position. No answer.
"Ok, Mrs. Silent wh.......Ahhh!!..Dawn, what are you doing."
Buffy stopped and looked at her sister with a surprised look.
Dawn was trying to imitate what she was doing on the bed.
"Heeheeehee....You looked so scared." Dawn said laughing
and pointing at her then, falling on the bed.
"You still haven't grown out of the scaring me stage. What
do you want?" Buffy Said glaring at her slightly.
"I was just having fun, it's to tempting when you are training
like that. I just wanted to see how you were?" Dawn said
to her with a sincere look.
"I'm better. I was just being scared with the whole thing."
Buffy said reassuringly.
"Ok, I just worry. And I know you probably don't want me
involved in this so, I'll just go home and good luck." Dawn
said understandingly. Buffy nodded.
"Ok, here's your coffee, hope you still like it the same
way?" Angel said entering as Dawn walked out.
"Yeah, I do. By the way, I have to ask you something that's
been bothering me. How do you still have so much strength?"
Buffy said and took the coffee.
"The PTB said I could still be a champion, even though I
am human." Angel stated plainly.
"Oh, neat. So, you are still my hero?" Buffy said sipping
her coffee and hugs him with one arm.
"Always. Now I have a question for you. Are you cookies
yet?" Angel said still holding her as she looked at him.
"I have been through a lot since the big battle with The
First. I feel like I'm pretty baked and it's you who gave me
that last heating." Buffy said then laughed at how she phrased
it.
"Oh, that's good. Because I would be willing to wait."
Angel said smiling.
"Let's go beat Dracaino, then there won't be anything standing
in our way." Buffy said as she started walking out of the
room. Angel nodded and followed.
"Hey, Buffy, you ready for the big fight?" Spike said
with a smile.
"Yeah, let's get rid of him once and for all." Buffy
said getting her stake, a sword and holy water in her pocket.
Willow and Giles told what the plan was about how to beat him,
which a lot of his power is in the tattoo on his wrist.
Angel, Buffy, Giles, Spike and Willow all got there stuff and
headed towards Dracaino's place.
