Chapter Three: Delirium

She eyed her surroundings carefully as she stood perplexed in the middle of a dark forest. She sensed movement around her, and the familiar scent of blood drifted from beneath the overgrown trees that towered over her. She wrapped her arms around herself automatically as the sound of a howling wolf echoed through the jungles.

She took a step back, startled as a moan of pain reverberated through the night. On instinct, she grabbed at her back pocket, and was bemused to find it empty of her usual weapons. 'What's going on?' she thought, a sense of panic slightly taking over her.

From a distance, she could faintly catch the distinct shape of a being lying helplessly on the ground. Realization dawned on her, the moans were coming from it, and it was clearly hurt. She made a move to go towards it, but something held her back, and before she could change her mind. She spun around and distanced herself all the more from the—strange creature...The strange creature whose eyes suddenly gleamed the color red...the color of blood, the color of pain...the color of anger.

An icy shiver ran down her spine, just as the creature stretched out its hands...she screamed.

*** ...And they danced through the night and they lived happily ever after.

A smile of giddiness and contentment spread across Dawn's peaceful face as she slept, dreaming about her newest crush. Her Prince Charming. Her dreamed seemed so real until a scream broke it and snapped her back to reality.

"Buffy?" she wondered out loud, her voice tinged with panic. Quickly, she jumped out of bed and headed out the corridor where she bumped straight into Willow who looked just as alarmed as she did. They exchanged a look of apprehension before banging Buffy's door open.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" Dawn asked glancing around the room in terror, half-expecting to see a demon of some sort running around the room in pure insanity.

Willow rushed over to Buffy's bedside, and was bewildered to see her still asleep, but with beads of sweat running down her forehead, and a incredibly pale face that was almost impossible to see on a slayer. The red-head motioned for Dawn to get a glass of water from the kitchen and the younger Summers' was off in a flash.

With the way Buffy's eyes were moving under her eyelids, it was apparent that she was having a nightmare. Gasps of breath escaped her lips as she tossed and turned under the sheets. "Buffy," she whispered, coaxing her best friend to wake up. "Buffy," she tried louder. Willow soon realized that Buffy had no intention of getting up—yet. Which was strange, considering the fact that she was a Slayer. And slayers are supposed to have these enhanced senses that would probably make her feel Willow ten feet away.

Dawn soon arrived carrying a pitcher of ice-cold water and an empty glass that was glinting harshly under the moonlight that streamed through the bedroom window. "What's happening to her?" she breathed, stopping dead in her tracks.

"Nightmare," Willow stated pressing the back of her palm to Buffy's forehead. It was ice-cold. She wondered what Buffy could be dreaming about. 'Maybe she's having a vision' that sudden thought scared Willow. "Dawn, quick, splash some water on Buffy's face."

Dawn didn't bother pouring the water in the glass, she dumped the whole pitcher on Buffy's face.

And the Slayer awoke.

*** The dream was so vivid. Almost real. And for the first time in her life, it scared her. Terrified her even. 'It was a vision.' That thought followed quickly. She knew the difference between nightmares and her unfortunate slayer gift of foresight. Nightmares tend to be more unclear, and you don't get that icy feeling of danger.

Speaking of ice...

Cold water splashed her face, and a freezing sensation ran down from her neck and down to her arms. Her eyes snapped open, and she was astonished to see a frightened looking Willow and a very worried Dawn. Wiping the chilly droplets away from her face, she sat up on her bed and realized that her back was soaked with sweat.

"What's wrong?" Buffy asked, her eyebrows knitting together in concern at her two companions, but fully knowing exactly what the other two were fretting about. They evidently heard her screaming in her sleep.

"What's wrong?" Dawn practically shrieked. "You're asking us what's wrong? You're the one who woke us up in the middle of the night screaming your head off." She was now waving the water pitcher in the air along with the empty glass. The sight would've amused Buffy if it wasn't for the horrifying images that kept flitting through her mind.

"Sorry," Buffy muttered. "I just had a little nightmare is all." She considered telling them about it. Telling them that what she had wasn't any ordinary nightmare. What she had was a little trip to the future. But one look at Willow's troubled face made her think otherwise. This wasn't the right time, not when they were heading off to Hogwarts tomorrow. That would just ruin the whole trip. And she didn't want Willow doing anything stupid.

"Are you sure your alright?" Willow asked, disquietly, taking out her handkerchief and giving it to Buffy who took it gratefully, wiping the beads of water that was starting to dampen her face.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Buffy lied. "You guys just go back to sleep."

And the two left, trusting Buffy's words.

Buffy wished her words were spoken in truth. She just couldn't believe what had just happened, or rather, what would happen.

Spike was back.

And he wanted to kill her.

The scene in the bathroom replayed once again in her mind for about the hundredth time since it happened. And the words that were uttered between the two of them. Not to mention, what she felt during that time.

Hurt.

Pain.

Guilt.

Guilt? Yeah, guilt. Spike may have hurt her. But she hurt him too. She used him as a release of her emotions. And then he left. She had no idea where he went. But she had a sinking feeling that he was up to no good.

And judging from her dream.

He really was up to no good.

A/N: Sorry if its so short. I'm already working on the next chapter and I'll try to post it around next week. For now, just review!!! And send me more suggestions for pairings!! Do any of you want Spike and Buffy together? Or Harry/ Buffy? Or Willow/ Harry? Actually I kinda like Draco and Buffy together 'cause he sorta reminds me of Spike. But then I forgot that they really are in their mid-twenties and just took that potion to look younger...and it really is kinda freaky...But anyway! Keep sending in those reviews and suggestions!!! :-)
