Okay, I wanted to say to MusicISmyLIFE that I understand what you're
saying. I know that Spike would never leave Drusilla like that, not back
then anyway, but in my world he does. I just wanted to make things easier
and I really didn't wanna have to deal with her. She was an interesting
character, but I never liked her that much. Thanks for letting me know,
anyway here is the next chapter now that I'm able to put it in if you are
still interested=)
Chapter 9
"She's being held in a cave not far from here. I know where it is, but we have to hurry." Past Spike told them after he paid a visit to Rack. It was easier than he thought it would be. They both followed after him.
"Are you okay?" Buffy asked and he turned to look at her.
"I will be once we get her back. I don't know what it is, but having you two here have opened my eyes up a little. I realize now that I love her, maybe I always did. I know that I need her. Is this how it is with you?" He asked his older self.
"Yeah, that's about right." Past Spike nodded and started walking again. Buffy and future Spike were right behind him. Buffy looked over at him and then grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze; he looked down at her and smiled. He knew that they would have a better future to go back to. They came across the cave and went inside, each being prepared for anything. They went deeper inside and couldn't see anything until they heard Buffy scream. This caused them to run faster and when they got to her they found her chained up with a blue light surrounding her. They then looked to see the hooded man with his arms raised in Buffy's direction. It was like he was somehow sucking the life out of her. Past Spike growled and ran towards him without even thinking. He knocked him down which caused him to lose concentration and started to punch him repeatedly.
"You get her down and I'll help him." Buffy told her Spike as she went to help the other one. He then ran towards the chained up girl and saw that she was unconscious. He yanked on her chains and after a few seconds they broke and she fell into his arms.
"I got you, love." He told her as he gently lay her down. He looked over at the others fighting the hooded man and saw his younger self get thrown into a wall. The man then grabbed Buffy around her neck and it looked like he was about to choke her when the same blue light formed around her. "Buffy!" Spike yelled as he went to help her. He kicked the man and he let Buffy go. He then started punching him and grabbed his neck and twisted it. The man then dropped to the ground, dead. He pulled the hood over so he could see who it was and all he saw was a skeleton. Spike cringed and went back to Buffy. He helped her up and she seemed to be okay. "You alright, pet?" He asked her and she nodded.
"Yeah, he didn't take a lot out of me." Spike nodded also and they headed over to past Buffy. They saw that past Spike was already at her side. He was holding her with her head resting in his lap. He looked up at them.
"She's still not awake. We didn't get here in time." He told them.
"She's not dead; if she was then I wouldn't be here." Past Spike nodded and then looked back at the girl in his arms, the girl he now knew that he loved.
"Come on, love. Time to wake up. I need you, Buffy. You can't be dead, not now. I love you." He said as the tears started to fall down his face. He kissed the top of her head. He then felt her move and looked down to see that she was staring up at him. She touched his face and smiled at him.
"I love you, too." She said before she let unconsciousness claim her again.
