The slayer and her vampire

Hey guys I'm back again with another pure instalment of pure spuffyness enjoy chapter five I worked really hard trying to figure how I wanted to do this one soooo here goes nothing.

In the last chapter:

"Buffy" he stopped her "I want you to know I'll always be with you and I'll always protect you, I love you more than life itself and I would do anything for you. I've loved you from the first day I saw you in college, you were so beautiful, so talented. My heart broke when you married Freddie and I didn't think I would ever love again, but that's changed now hasn't it?" he asked gently kissing her cheek. She pulled his face up to hers and looked him in the eye

"Yes spike, yes it has"

Chapter 5: Grieving and new hopes

The early morning sun rose in the distance and took away the dark clouds from the night sky. It wiped away the darkness and replaced it with pure sunshine, so beautiful. Stirring in bed buffy sat up and stretched her arms in the air mimicking a sleepy kitten. Turning over in her bed, the man that slept next to her stirred and woke as well; his naked body lightly brushing hers. Smiling she leaned down to kiss the gentle lips that he possessed, the one that felt like feather's on her lips; so smooth.

"Morning luv" spike whispered and ran his hand through his hair.

"Morning?" buffy questioned "spike it's almost half past two in the afternoon!" stretching spike wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her across his lap so she straddled him, pulling her down without much force, he kissed her lips lightly and ran his hand along the smoothness of her back.

"Well at least we got a good rest pet!" he whispered and the memories of what had happened last night filled their minds. Buffy was the first to move, after five minuets she got up and wrapped a dressing gown around her,

"I'm going down for breakfast; I'm starving; you coming?"

"Be right there luv just wanna take a shower" he replied standing up and walking across the room stark naked, into her embrace. He kissed her lips lightly and held her in his arms

"Ya know....I meant what I said last night" spike spoke soft and gentle

"I...I love you buffy"

"I know you did, you may think I'm rushing into falling in love with you but truth be told I think I always had something for you ever since you came to college and moved to sunnydale with your dad. I love you too spike and I guess I finally feel free to say that, I should never had married Freddie, he seemed so nice; so me, but I guess I was wrong."

"Hey!" spike spoke with seriousness in his voice; he lifted up her chin with tip of his finger and stared into her eyes

"It's not what's wrong with you, it was something with him. You're smart; you're beautiful I can see why he got jealous when you came to me cos I no I would!" he answered hugging her tight. Smiling a slight smile buffy pulled away and walked away from spike to the door, opening it slowly and closing it behind her as she went out. Spike could only stare as he watched the woman he loved so much, fall to pieces before his eyes. There wasn't anything he could do to help her; she needed to get through this on her own.

Walking down the stairs buffy stopped by the picture frames and picked one up in her hand, it was a picture of her and Freddie on holiday in Mexico. He looked so happy and brown; she was smiling up at him. Thinking of those times, buffy put the picture face down on the table and walked into the kitchen turning on the television and going over to the fridge, opening up the door and peering inside. Just as she did she heard the Freddie's name being mentioned on the tv. Slowly closing the door she peered up to the tv and turned the volume up

"Earlier this morning police where called to the house of spike Williams to discover a dead body, impaled on a picket fence. We have just discovered that the body was that of a young university student named only as "Freddie". Were not yet sure exactly how he died but police are treating it as suspicious. We know that as well as spike Williams, there was Buffy Summers, Freddie's wife taken to the police station for questioning. Back to you in the studio."

Buffy froze and the glass she was holding slipped out of her hand and fell to the floor, smashing into a thousand pieces. Turning around sharply buffy panicked and ran across the room and up the stairs, stopping her self short just as she came to her and Freddie's bedroom. Opening the door slightly buffy could smell his aftershave, he'd left the top off of his bottle and the aftershave had been blown off the shelf next to the open window and on to the floor. Ignoring the sweet aroma buffy ran to a closet and dragged out a suitcase. Opening it she began to pile clothes into it frantically searching for her hair brush at the same time.

Stepping out the shower spike put the clothes back on that he had been wearing last night when he had come to the house. Walking out of the bathroom he heard the sound of breaking glass and stepped out of the bedroom door to investigate. Slowly walking down the long corridor he pushed the door to Buffy's room open and saw a sight he couldn't believe

"Buffy? What the heck are you doing?" he said walking across the room to her and standing between her and the suitcase.

"I...I have to get away spike, they are going to think we killed him, I...I can't go through what happened last night again, I...I don't want to spike don't let them take me away...I'm scared" she cried sitting her self down on the bed and placing her face in her hands. Kneeling in front of her spike pulled away her hands reached up to give her a passionate kiss. Both pulling away for a breath of air after a few moments, spike wiped away the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs and he pulled her into his tight embrace.

"Buffy I'm not going to let them take you away, I would rather them have me than you" spike spoke pulling away from her and looking her in the eyes

"we'll get through this I promise. Me and you forever yeah?"

Half smiling she looked at him and realised how much love and affection he was showing her, but did she really feel the same? Was she just using him as a Freddie? Trying to replace what she had lost, to make up for the mistakes and the arguments they had? She didn't know but just held him close to her.

Months passed and the trial came and went. The saddest part of all was when spike got sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted man slaughter of which he wasn't guilty. But then there were only three people in the room that night and the judges didn't believe her side of the story. Standing up buffy grabbed the bars in front of her which separated her and spike from each other. When the judges gave out their verdict she had tried to get to him but he already told her a few days before the trial had began that he would take the blame, if the verdict came to that and that he asked if she would wait for him? She simply smiled and hugged him tighter; that was good enough answer for him.

Stepping into the front door of her house, buffy closed the door and walked into the kitchen staring around the room. In her rage she pushed all of the glasses that were on the draining board on to the floor. Walking up stairs buffy went into her room and picked out an old duffle bag and a suit case, packing it full of only the things she wanted to keep or needed. Picking up her mobile she looked at it and threw it at the wall in rage. Spike had been sent to prison for something he hadn't even attempted. 'He was just trying to protect me' she thought to her self and a few tears slipped down her face. she had to get away from here for a while, she couldn't bare to see spike behind bars; it would push her over the edge, and she definitely couldn't stay here in this house being constantly reminded of what she'd done or hadn't.

Walking down the stairs a taxi pulled up outside a peeped its horn. Walking to the closet in the hallway she opened the door and pulled out a base ball bat. Looking down at it she thought of all the things Freddie had done to her and all things she had wanted to tell him but never was given the chance, all the pain built up inside her and she walked into the living room and swung the base ball bat at everything that reminded her of him. All the pictures and the ornaments. All the pain she had felt had gone and now she felt nothing but regret for taking out her rage on the house. On her possessions, but this was her past; where she was going was her future. She wasn't sure where that was yet but she'd dropped out of university and was glad of it. The last time she had seen spike was at university and it was also where all her friends where. They had been trying to contact her over the past few months but buffy just didn't answer the phone, she couldn't bare all of those questioning eyes looking at her as though she was scum. Spike had tried to reassure her that would be sticking by her side like glue to wood but it didn't seem to take the pain away, she couldn't run from what she'd done. So She had enough money to get by for the rest of her life and wasn't totally bothered.

Opening the door she walked out and closed it, locking it tight. The driver helped her to put her things in the car and she got into the cab.

"Where to miss?" the cab driver asked

"State prison please" it was visiting day.

Turning up at the prison buffy was escorted into a private room with two guards inside only, and spike was already waiting for her. Smiling he looked up at her but she did not return the smile, she walked across to him and sat down on the opposite side of the glass. Picking up the phone that he had indicated to her, she placed it to her ear and the words simply rolled out of his mouth, so sweet but so innocent. She couldn't help but feel responsible for him being in there. He looked tired and worn out, all she wanted to do was take him in her arms and hold him for eternity.

"Ya know...we got play snooker the other day and...." spike started but was cut off by buffy

"Spike..." she cut in but couldn't finish her sentence

"Buffy what is it? What's wrong pet?" he questioned

she looked at him and saw nothing but unconditional love

"Spike I...I have to tell you something..."

"what is it luv?" he looked completely worried, he looked into her eyes and she stared back into his soul. She saw something in him she had never seen before she saw his heart, mind, body and soul and knew he would give all of them to her in second.

"Spike I'm..."
