Electra's still mine though!!

One good turn deserves another

Buffy stood there. Mouth open frozen to the spot. She couldn't believe it. Her mother lay there oblivious to what had happened. Not realizing she had actually died!

'Oh I'm sorry Buffy, I didn't realize we had company. All I remember is I had a headache and then I woke up. I must have nodded off I guess.' said Joyce. Buffy moved towards her mother and leant down to touch her face. She was moving, breathing and talking. Buffy became overwhelmed with emotions and burst into tears. Joyce now looking confused looked at Electra.

'I'm sorry mom, just.. well I've had a bad day. But it's all ok now.'

'It's ok honey.' she looked at Electra once more. 'I'm sorry but do I know you? Just you seem so familiar..' Joyce was now intrigued. Electra stood from her laid position on the floor with a little help from Spike. She looked at Joyce. The pain in her head was gone. Joyce was now back to the living realm.

'In another life perhaps?' smiled Electra. Buffy looked over at her. She'd seen another side to Electra. To say she was the she-devil she had saved her mothers life and her best friends. All in one night. That set alarm bells off in Buffy's head. Why had she done all of that?

'Hey are you ok?' asked Spike in an ushered tone to Electra. She could feel his concern. Although his heart wasn't beating, she could hear the rhythm of relief.

'Never been better' she smirked at him. He smiled at her. He was just glad she was ok after what she'd done. He had no idea what she was up to though. She looked over at Buffy and Joyce who were hugging and laughing and talking. She'd given Buffy the greatest gift of all. Her mother. But she was sick of being the hero. This time she was going to show her true colours. The REAL Electra.

Buffy turned back again to look at Electra and Spike. They were stood smiling at each other. Maybe Electra wasn't as bad as Giles and Angel had made out. Speaking of Angel he was stood in the corner, pretty much reeling from everything that had just happened. Then something had dawned on her. She turned back to Spike. She stood up and walked over to the duo. Spike turned to see Buffy cautiously walking towards them.

'Aw Bloody hell what's the matter now Slayer. She did what you asked!' said Spike now on Electra's defense.

Yeah I know she did.' replied Buffy looking at Electra. 'But you know what Spike that's not what I came over here for. Just answer me one question. How is it that your in my house.... and I didn't invite you in?' asked Buffy. Spike stared into Buffy's eyes, at which point Angel had now approached the trio and was also curious as to Buffy's question.

'Aw what.. now you have to have an invitation to step over someone's doorstep? Damn things change' laughed Electra. Spike just stared at Buffy.

'You drank her blood...' muttered Angel as to not alarm Joyce. Buffy looked at Angel and then at Electra.

'And that would be a crime because.....?' sneered Electra.

'Don't worry luv. No one will understand fully. Sept Angel... isn't that right poof? teased Spike.

'Get out.' said Buffy sternly through gritted teeth. Spike and Electra now stood and glared at Buffy.

'I said get out!' screeched Buffy. Just the sight of them made her blood boil.

'Buffy honey what's the matter?' said Joyce now approaching the gang.

'Nothing mother. They were just leaving.'

'Yeah Joyce we were just gonna go.. you know... bring someone back form the dead and the next thing you know your getting kicked out. Man this is a fucked up little world!' said Electra now smiling at Joyce. 'But first I need my payment.' and she looked at Buffy.

'Back from the dead?.. Buffy sweetie what's she talking about?' questioned Joyce.

Ignoring her mother she glared at Electra. ' What do you want?' spat Buffy.

' It's not obvious? C'mon Buffy baby! What did I come here for?' Electra's eyes then wondered over to Angel. But before Buffy could register what she was talking about Electra was now stood behind Angel with stake to his heart. And her hand was resting on his chest. Buffy tried to reach out for Angel but she was paralyzed.

'Like you said Slayer. One life for another.' She laughed so hard it made the walls tremble. Angel was struggling to get free but her arms were like iron gates.

'C'mon Spike. This party's as good as dead' said Electra. With Spike and Angel in her grasp she walked out of the door with Buffy still frozen in the same spot. She'd lost Angel again. And it was her fault. She'd killed him twice, and both time his blood was on her hands.
