Chapter 20! Wow didn't realise how much I'd actually written!!

You gotta keep on reading!!

Truth or dare

Buffy stood over Electra, with a stake in one hand with the cavalry behind her. Xander was stood with a cross bow in one hand whilst Willow was holding an old tattered book, presumably magick. Giles was stood just behind Buffy removing the dagger from Spike and Angels hands. The glow that surrounded them had disappeared and now both Angel and Spike were free.

'That has to be the biggest mistake you've made cutie..' sighed Electra getting up from the floor. She dusted herself down to be greeted with another smack in the face from the Slayer. Electra spun her head round and laughed.

'Nice stake Slayer, shame those things don't work.' and with that Electra threw her hand to her left causing Buffy to do the same. Buffy crashed into one of the walls and slid down to the floor with a sickening thud. Electra looked over to Angel and Spike. Angel was being carried away by Xander and Giles, whilst Spike lay on the floor, still drained from the experience Angel and himself had just under gone.

'Oh aint that sweet.' she smirked as she lifted her arm up and threw Xander across the room with out touching him.

Willow had snuck to a corner of the church so not to be seen. She opened ea particular page and started to read.

'Omay, inca prosanus aritat'

Electra then lifted her arm to throw Giles across the church also but nothing happened. Frowning she lifted her other arm. Still nothing.

'Omay inca prosanus aritat' Willow repeated. Electra spun her head to where Willow was crouched.

'You!' she yelled. Willow looked up terrified.

'Nice little protection spell honey. But does it protect you?!' she said walking over to Willow. Willow rose.

OMAY INCA PROSANUS ARITAT! she yelled. She'd now got the attentions of the others. Giles and Angel had stopped. Xander lifting himself up slowly from the ground and now Buffy was stood near Spike.

'Hey Electra?' yelled Buffy making Electra stop in her tracks. 'How precious is this vampire to you anyways?' she asked making Electra turn around her eyes now red with anger. But before Electra could move, Buffy had grabbed Spike now with the stake to his chest.

'Don't even think about it. How about we play a new game. My game my rules.' said Buffy now in complete control.

Electra was standing still now, with pure anger and hatred on her face.

'Nice little spell you were gonna do there Electra. Gonna make Spike here a god?! Yeah 'cause he's god material. Good job we knew what you were plannin on doin huh? You should know by now that spells like these never work.' she mocked still holding the stake to Spikes chest. Spike was looking at Electra with confusion. He didn't wanna be dusted. He wanted Electra to save him. Electra was looking at him and he knew she wasn't pleased with the Slayers interference.

'You meddling bitch!' spat Spike. 'I could have wasted you right now!' he assured her.

'Yeah but you can't so get over it.' said Buffy.

'What are the rules to this new game of yours slayer?' said Electra with a harsh tone.

'You die. Spike dies. I win. We go home.'

'Good plan sept it's not gonna work like that .' said Electra certain of her words.

'Oh yeah well this stake tells me otherwise.' Said Buffy now adding pressure to it making it slightly pierce Spikes chest. He let out a yell, signalling to everyone she wasn't joking.

'So you needed Angels soul and blood to help make Spike into a god? Wow. I'd have never have known that if it weren't for Willow. Ya see. Just when I thought you'd have killed him and there was nothing for me to do. Willow found that you were planning on making a partner to share all the evil in the world with. Someone you knew. You'd wanted for so long. Someone you loved.' said Buffy.

Spike looked at Electra with a straight face. Love? She can't do. Electra's frown straightened. Her face had now become solemn. They all knew the reason why and for that split second Electra felt weak. That's when the tears formed in her eyes. She held back but they were there. She put her head down now defeated of her what she came here to accomplish. Angel looked at Electra now understanding the full reason why she was going to sacrifice Angel for Spike. It all came down to love.

'You're right.' whimpered Electra unable to look at anyone. Buffy's smile had now been wiped from her face. Willow was now moving towards the others not knowing what to do and Giles had removed his glasses overwhelmed by this shocking new statement.

'I'm what?' asked the Slayer unsure of what she'd just said. Electra looked up. Tears now rolling down her face. 'You're right Slayer.' she said walking towards them. Buffy was off guard due to the shock of Electra emotions. Spike was now looking at Electra confused. She was up to something but for once he didn't like it.

'It's either me or Spike right?' asked Electra now stood in front of Spike and Buffy.

'Looks like it.' said Buffy through gritted teeth. No way were both of them getting out of this alive. Electra stood there for a moment and then laughed. Her whole body was shaking with laughter, and then she turned to Spike.

'Looks like I gotta make a choice doesn't it Spike?' she said still laughing. Spikes face had now straightened again. And by the way she was looking at Spike she'd made her choice. He understood why she'd choose him to die. A goddess like that needed to rule this earth, but at least she'd kinda showed she loved him in a way, even if now she was going to kill him. He put his head down ready for her to give Buffy what she needed to stake him through the heart.

'I love you William.' said Electra with one last tear rolling down her face. Spike's head shot up, Buffy had froze just like the rest of the gang. No way had she just said those words. It wasn't possible.

'No... no you can't do this. Kill me. Kill me! No you can't Electra. Don't do this!' cried Spike now trying to struggle free from Buffy's arms.

'I can't go on like this anymore feeling every inch of pain and no one to share it with. If I can't have you Spike then I can't live anymore. I'll always love you.' she said now stepping away. Spike had now been reduced to tears. This was it. She'd killed herself for Spike. She'd killed herself for love.

'I love you Electra but you can't do this!'

'No matter what anyone says Spike. You can never be beneath anyone. You'll always be something.'

The words echoed in Spikes head but were suddenly stopped by the Church shaking. Huge tremors had now erupted throughout the old chapel. It was time for one last showdown.
