Chapter Twenty- two: Video

Buffy woke up and looked at her watch only to find that it had been a day since Spike had stormed morning and she was still on the couch wrapped in Spikes coat,

"Spike" She whispered

She then heard Alex crying up stairs and ran up and got him, she began to worry, usually when they had a fight he came back after a few hours and they talked it out, he had never been away all night. She carried Alex down stairs and picked up the phone to call around. Once she had called Xander, Willow and Dawn, she even called the bar they always went to but they said he had been there but he left pretty early, she began to get frantic, tears started to make their way down her face as she called Faith and Angel

"Hello" Faith said sleepily



"Faith, h-h-have you seen Spike" She said trying to hold back her tears



"No, why?" Faith said sitting up in bed with Angel waking up next to her



"Oh god Faith, Spike and I had a fight and he hasn't come back all night, I know somethings wrong, he usually comes back before morning but he hasn't and I going out of my mind..." She said as she started to cry



"Come on B don't cry, I'm sure he's fine"

Buffy looked over to the door as something was slipped underneath it, she walked over and picked it up and gasped at what it was

"OH NO" She screamed as she looked at the picture of him beaten and blooded on the floor, on the back of the picture was written in blood,

'BUFFY'

"Buffy what wrong, Buffy" Faith said down the phone

"What's wrong," Angel asked

"I don't know she just started screaming" Faith said as Angel took the phone from her

"Buffy, Buffy are you ok" Angel said



"Me and Alex are coming round" She said before hanging up

Running over to the couch she picked up Spikes coat and slipped it on, she picked up Alex, grabbed her car keys, the letter and the picture and ran out

*~*~*~*~

Once she got in she ran over to Alex's chair and put him in it, she then sat next to it with her head in her hand as Faith came over and sat down next to her

"What has happened?" She said as Angel came over and stood in front of her

Buffy looked up with tears in her eyes

"W-we had this fight, and he stormed out and then when I woke up this morning, this was under the door." She said handing then the picture, they both gasped and looked at each other then back at Buffy

"What was the fight about?" Angel asked

"This," Buffy simply said, while handing him the letter from Riley

Faith and Angel read it and then looked back at Buffy "But Spike was more angry with me cause I was writing him back"

"Why" Angel said a little to loudly

"I don't know, I was just gonna tell him to fuck off and leave us alone but Spike didn't give me a chance to explain"

"That sounds like Spike, what do you want us to do" Angel said

"Ask around, you have been in LA longer Angel so you get on to your contacts, Faith do you think you can search the streets as Angel cant due to the sun."

"Sure thing," She said getting up

"I'm gonna go home just in case something else turns up, and guys, please find him" She said with sorrow in her eyes

"We'll do our best Buffy." Angel said before he walked to his office and Faith ran up stairs. Buffy looked around and grabbed the picture and letter, stuffing it into the coat pocket she picked up Alex and headed home

Once Buffy got home she sat down with Alex on the couch, Alex sat in her arms as Spike coat was wrapped round the two of them, once Alex asleep she carried him up stairs putting him in his cot, she then went down stairs and sat on the couch think for a couple of minute, she then walked over to the TV and picked up a video, on it, it simply said SPIKES BIG DAY, beside it was another on saying BUFFYS BIG DAY. Buffy smiled and slipped in the Spike one and pressed play and smiled at what was on the screen

"Well why shouldn't I be mate, today the happiest day of my life in it, and what are you sticking that thing in my face for."

Buffy touched Spikes face on the screen before going and sitting down still in Spikes coat

"Well I don't know if things have changed since I used one of these but it looks like I'm filming you, now do you want to tell the nice little camera why you are so happy"

"Alright then, gel king I am happy and by the way happy is an understatement, because today I am going to marry the woman of my dreams, simple as that I can't even begin to tell you how much I love her and today I'm going to show her how much."

Tears were now pouring down Buffys face as she watch Spike hop around and say that she was the woman of his dreams

"What are you doing." Angel said from behind the camera as he watched Spike dial the phone

"What does it look like I'm doing, I'm calling Buffy." He said, Angel walked up to him and grabbed the phone and hung up

"What the bloody hell do you think you are doing?" Spike said to him as Angel still had the camera pointing at him

"Spike, your marrying the woman soon, you don't need to call her, and any way if you call her you will talk then you will go 'I love you Buffy' and she will go 'I love you Spike' and then you will run over there and kiss her and then she will get mad at you for seeing her before the wedding with that bad luck thing she keeps going on about so why don't you sit down and eat."

"Well Buffy, you really gonna marry this one, wow your in for a annoying life aint ya." He said smiling in to the camera then turned the camera back round once he heard Spike voice

"HEY I HEARD THAT YOU POOF." Spike yelled before Angel shut of the camera

Buffy laughed softly as the camera cut to Spike getting ready in front of the mirror

"Nervous?" Angel asked from behind the camera, as Spike adjusted his tie

"Terrified, excited, blissful happy all rolled in to one mate," Spike answered, as he finally did his tie

"Your terrified, why, " Angel asked as Spike grabbed his jacket and put it on in front of the mirror

"Mainly that something is gonna go wrong, and that Buffy wont be happy." Spike said briefly looking at Angel

"I've never been happier" Buffy said to herself

"Don't worry Spike, it will go fine, have you got your vows ready"

"All in 'ere mate," Spike he said pointing to his head.

Angel followed the camera around the room, which lay lots of bottles of ketchup

"Buffy still on this ketchup thing." Angel asked as he lay the camera back on Spike

"Yeah, that's all she eats and drinks, it hilariously disgusting actually" Spike said chuckling as he finished dusting of and straightening his jacket

Buffy chuckled slightly at her pregnancy craving

"Yeah, you love her though," Angel said.

"Yep nothing in this world would change that." Spike said stepping away from the mirror and face Angel with the camera. "How do I look" He said extending his arms for Angel to examine his suit

"Beautiful" Buffy said as more tears poured down her face

"You look ok I suppose." Angel said from still behind the camera

Spike slapped his hands back down to his sides

"See now if it was you I was marrying and trying to impress that would hurt my ego."

"Well your lucky that your marrying Buffy and by the way I think she'll be impressed."

"You think so" Spike said tugging his jacket with a smirk on his face

Buffy nodded to herself as she remembered first seeing Spike in his suit at the wedding

"Yeah sure, hey why don't you tell the camera how you feel about Buffy in five words or less."

"All right then, I-love-you-Buffy-with-all-my-heart."

"God Spike, I love you so much" She whispered

"That wasn't five words you idiot." Angel said

"Sod off its my wedding day and I can use how many words I like."

"Fine, whatever"

"Your not losing that camera anytime soon are you." Spike said facing him again

"No, hey what you doing?" Angel said as Spikes reached for the camera

"I'm taking it off you, what do you think I'm doing" Spike said as Angel started to back up as Spike advanced on him reaching for he camera

Buffy watched as Spike chase Angel with ketchup, she pulled the coat tighter around herself and wished it was him as tears still came down her face

She cried even harder when she watched the ceremony and his vows to her

"Buffy I love you. You are my sun, my Heaven, my warrior. You are so beautiful, and I don't just mean on the outside but on the inside. You are so full of passion. When I look at you I see a blonde goddess with a big heart that is so full of love. And whenever you smile it could light up the entire world,. You're all I live for and all I want to live for. I cherish every part of you, and I promise with all my heart to never leave your side, to be your friend, your lover, your partner for all my days and thereafter, you're my fire and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

She then watched as they both walked in hand in hand through the hotel doors after just coming back from Sunnydale

"You still got that thing mate." Spike said in to the camera

"Yeah of course, how you feeling then Spikey." Angel said from behind the camera, Spike raised an eyebrow at the sound of Angel calling him 'Spikey'

"Err well lets just say, I have to pinch myself every few minutes to check I'm not dreamin'."

Buffy could not stop crying, she missed him so much, and the thought that he might be hurt made her feel sick

She then watch as Angel put the camera down and it face towards the door

"Oww why'd you do that for." He said putting the still running camera on the table next to him with the lens facing the door.

"Why'd you pinch him you big bully." She said smiling with the camera in her hand

"It was fun" Faith raised her eyebrows at him, "Fine sorry."

Spike looked at him and chuckled before receiving a slap in the stomach from Buffy "That's ok" He said looking at Angel then down at Buffy

Buffy heard the conversation in the background while she saw people moving out side of the door, she recognised them straight away and jumped to the screen to get a closer look, she wasn't mistaken who they were

"Riley and Harmony." She knew that was just before Riley took her and she realised it must have been her that was leading the vamps that held Spike and the others back from getting her sooner

Buffy jumped up and grabbed the phone, calling Faith to come round

*~*~*~*~

"Well well what do we have here" Faith said looking at the screen

"Do you think you could try track her down" Buffy asked with her arms crossed over her chest

"Yeah sure, what are you doing?"

Buffy looked at the frozen screen, "Straight to the source himself " She said looking at Riley on the screen

See what Riley says, tomorrow, hope you like it so far, please tell me what you think and please I am very confused with how to code things to make it bold or italic, and I need that for the following chapters, I know its a lot to ask but can someone email me and tell me how to do it, I'm kinda stupid, thank you
