CHAPTER TWO


"Spotless!" Fred said, looking at Spike who had collapsed on the floor.

She giggled and sat down next to him.

"Tired?" Fred asked him.

"Bloody hell, I spend 2 hours cleaning up this mess, and I still don't know how the blood got there." Spike said, sitting up.

She took a deep breath and looked at him. "I lied when I said that Angel did it. I knew he didn't do it, I was here when it happened." She stared at him and then said. "See that?" He looked at where her finger was pointing. There was a huge table blocking a door.

"Why is that over there?" he asked, looking at her.

"It's holding back the door so that the demons won't come in here." Fred said, looking at the door.

"Demons?" Spike asked her.

"Yeah, that is why Angel called you. To help us fight them, but when you got here we had already killed them."

"Lucky me, and I still had to clean up the blood." He chuckled, looking at her.

She smiled back at him.

"Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are so amazingly blue." Fred said, looking at his eyes.

"Yeah, something along the lines." He smiled, and leaned towards her a little.

She leaned in a little, and they were inches from each other.

As he was about to kiss her, she turned her head and looked at the floor.

He sat there looking at her and then sighed, turning his head.

"Do you wanna stay the night?" Fred blurted out, getting up from the floor.

"You live here?" Spike asked, getting up from the floor with her.

"Yeah, so.. wanna stay?" Fred asked, walking up the stairs.

He chuckled and walked up the stairs behind her. "Your begging me to stay, aren't you?"

She turned around to face him, he was looking at her now. "Do you want to know the reason why I didn't kiss you?"

"Sure." Spike asked.

"It wasn't the right time." She said, smiling at him.

He smiled at her. He knew that he was gonna kiss her sooner or later.

"When?"

"When what?" Fred asked, playing with his mind.

"When is it the right time?"

"You'll see." She turned around and walked up the stairs, opening the basement door.

She walked through the living room, where she saw Angel sitting in his chair.

"About time, don't you think?" Angel said, getting up and walking to them.

"You could of helped and then it would of gone a lot faster." Fred said, looking at him.

"Spike's staying the night."

"You are?!" Angel said, looking at Spike.

Spike looked at Fred and then at him.

"Looks like it, Mate."

Fred sighed. "I'm tired and I'm going to bed, so goodnight guys." Fred said, walking up the stairs to her room.

"WiniFred, I am not finish talking to you!" Angel yelled at her.

Spike chuckled at him while walking up the stairs.

"Spike!" Angel yelled.

Spike turned around, and looked at him.

"Don't go near Winifred, or I'll--"

"Save it, Mate! I know your jealous of Fred and me."

Angel scoffed. "Jealous of you two?"

"You will be." Spike said, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Shh, you two!" Fred said loudly, coming out of her room.

They both were quiet and looked up at her.

"You don't hear that?" Fred asked them, while walking down the stairs.

A big noise came from below them.

Angel groaned and grabbed one of the baseball bats that was lying on the floor.

"Here." Angel said to Fred, handing her the other bat. Totally ignoring Spike.

Spike looked at Fred. She smiled and handed the bat that Angel gave her. She had a stake in her hand.

All three of them walked down the steps slowly. Fred jumped at the loud, growling noise. Spike holded out his hand and she took it. "It's going to be ok, Pet." Patting it gently.

Angel looked behind him and saw them holding hands.

He turned around and yelled. "Okay! That's enough!"

"Angel, look out!" Fred screamed.

The vampire knocked Angel to the floor. She staked him and dust fell, leaving a mess. She sighed, thinking she had yet another thing to clean up. She helped Angel up, and he held onto the rail.

Standing on the last step, Spike and Fred saw only vampires this time. The mean looking creatures were walking towards them, ready to kill.
