Chapter 7
She jumped as she heard the familiar voice of Xander next to her ear, "Whoa" she was clearly startled "Buffy" he sounded panicky, "did you see that"? He looked at her forming words without sound; she couldn't hear him, "Buffy? Can you hear me...Buffy?" he began to shake her gently "Buffy" She turned as his voice returned to her consciousness. "What the HELL was that", she heard his voice tremble slightly, and then there came a shriek from the back of the bus. "Willow", Kennedy sounded just as panicked if not more panicked than Xander had." What's happening to you"? Buffy looked questioningly at Xander who just shrugged, there was a pause in movement from the pair in which they didn't say a word, then he got up and hurried to where Willow was having some kind of fit. "Willow? Oh my god what happened" he looked at Kennedy whilst shaking willow in the hope of waking her up. "I don't know, one minute she was unconscious then she woke up and her eyes were purple and she began to shake" Kennedy looked thoughtful for a moment then she continued. "What did she look like when she went evil"? Xander looked horrified at the idea that Willow was turning evil before them, and then he shook his head firmly "No" he looked damn certain, "it's something else it just has to be".
In actual fact, Willow was dreaming again; She stepped out onto a park; she could see children playing in the sunlight far across the park. As she walked towards them, the sky began to turn dark and as if by magic the children all rounded on her looking menacing. She turned pale when she saw one of them begin to walk towards her slowly and as he walked he began to slowly disintegrate then he was gone, she looked at the space where the boy had been and there he stood. "Spike" she said quietly, and then she awoke.
Chapter 8
Kennedy looked at her hopefully "Willow"? "Kennedy"? Kennedy gave a sigh of relief and called up to the front of the bus "she's okay Buffy". Buffy hadn't been paying attention, she was busy staring out of the front window at a person standing engulfed in flames, she blinked in disbelief and looked again...there he stood, clear as daylight but no longer surrounded by flames, he was glowing, much like he had done back in the hellmouth. By now Buffy wasn't sure she could believe anything that her eyes acknowledged, and so again she blinked expecting to see something different when she looked again, but when she looked again, there he was, still shrouded in a blanket of daylight looking straight at her. His eyes seemed to be pleading with her to help him, and then she jumped as she heard Willow; "SPIKE"! Buffy turned around startled at hearing her dead boyfriends name being shrieked by her best friend. Willow was pointing straight out of the window which Buffy had just turned away from, it was then that she realised that he wasn't a mirage, he was real.
She spun back around to look again and sure enough, there he stood, tears streaming down his pale features, his cheekbones, his lips, words began to form on his lips, and as he spoke silently, the words he was mouthing began to form on the windscreen.
