Little bit of angst coming up but don't worry, its still a fluffy spuffy story

Chapter Twenty-four: Little Lesson

Spike groaned in pain. The first thing he noticed was that he couldn't move his arms or legs. Second thing he discovered was that he was vertical and leaning against a hard surface and his shirt had been ripped off. Third thing was the reason he couldn't move his arms and legs was because he was chained to a wall. Spike was afraid to open his eyes in fear of what he would see. Who he would see. But, being difficult like he was, Spike did open his eyes and immediately closed them.

"Come on my sweet William, you have been a naughty boy ain't you, mummy's going to teach you a little lesson," She said grabbing his chin and licking his face before slapping him hard The vampires in the background started chuckling before Drusilla whirled around and picked up a knife.

"My Spike is all human again, and now, my Spike belongs to the Slayer, bad daddy bad daddy." She said as she scratched Spike with the knife on his bare chest, Spike winced in pain as his swollen eyes strained to stay open

"Drusilla, what do you want," Spike struggled to get out

"Sweet William, I told you, to teach you a little lesson." She said before slitting Spike in the abdomen

*~*~*~*~*~

"Drusilla" Buffy said as she came in to the hotel holding Alex

"WHERE" Xander said jumping up and looking round frantically

"Not here Xander" She said handing Alex to Dawn "That fucking bitch has got Spike"

"Buffy minor in the room" Dawn said holding Alex's ears

"Dawn, he's six months old" Buffy said glancing at Dawn "Anyway, Riley mentioned something about not knowing were Dru was, he slipped up when I was asking him about Harmony." She said with her hands on her hips

"Wait, you went to see him" Angel said

"Yes, I had to, he is working with Harmony" Buffy said while walking to Faith "What did you find"

"Nothing, I've checked every crypt in every cemetery in town, chicks well hidden." She said to Buffy

"You knew she was going to see Riley, didn't you" Angel said slightly angry

"Yeah, what of it"

"Why didn't you tell me" He said walking to her and standing in front of her

"Is wasn't mine to tell, what you gonna get pissed at me cause I didn't tell you something" Faith said before trying to walk away only to have Angel grab her arm

"No, I'm sorry, I just, get worried when I'm not completely in the picture" He said wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her softly

Meanwhile Buffy was telling Xander, Dawn and Willow everything that happened

"So then he accidentally said that he hasn't seen Dru." Buffy said as she finished

"So how have you come to the conclusion that he is working with Dru and that she has Spike if Riley says he doesn't know where she is." Willow asked

"Because Riley hasn't even met Dru, so why would he mention her name, I didn't even mention her name" Buffy said to her friend

"So what are you gonna do Buf" Xander asked

"Angel you know more about Drusilla can you tell me a few things she like, places you think she will be?"

"Sure Buffy"

"Faith can you keep looking for Harmony" Buffy asked Faith

"No probs" Faith said before kissing Angel quickly and walking out the door The rest of the gang listened to Angel as started to tell them about Drusilla.

*~*~*~*~

Riley walked back to his cell as he turned around to see it being slammed and locked, he smiled and sat on his bunk and pulled out a cell which Harmony had snuck in for him, as she didn't have a heart beat or body temperature, the guards had thought there was something wrong with the machine and all Harmony had to do was use her beauty and sex appeal for them to let her in any way.

Riley dialled, the guards never noticed the phone, they just thought he was talking to him self,

"How's everything going"



"Fine, Drusilla has got Spike she got that warlock guy to put a spell around them so Willow cant find him and I'm staying at your place," Harmony said



"Are you keeping an eye on Buffy?"



"Every night, hey you should see her little boy, he looks just like Spike"



"LISTEN YOU STUPID BITCH," Riley hissed angrily "We are supposed to be destroying there lives not saying how cute there kid is"



"Ok I'm sorry, why do you have to be so mean, we are supposed to be partners and all you do is.... hello...hello...hello"

Harmony threw the phone down as she realised Riley had hung up on her

*~*~*~*~

"Think of it as a game. A funny game. Without all the rules, or any of the bothersome winning part." Drusilla said as she inspected the red raw shallow cuts on his chest (AN, I know, Bring on the Night, I just love the stuff she said during this episode)

"Was besotted with little Buffy, weren't you." Drusilla walked away from Spike and picked up a box of salt

"But is she happy with you, my boy?" She said getting a few grains of salt and flicking it at his chest, luckily for Spike, it didn't get in to any of his open wounds

"Who would be happy with you? A pathetic excuse for a vampire" She said pouring a little salt in to her hand and throwing it at Spikes chest, Spike winced as a few grains hit his wounds

"And now a pathetic excuse for a human" She said pouring more salt in her hand and rubbing it in to Spikes wounds

"AAHHHHHHH GOD DRU STOP"

Dru started to laugh at Spikes scream

"Poor little lost lamb, they put a little tinker-toy in your head and then you fell in love with the slayer, but I knew you know, before you did, I could see her all over you, swimming in you head, swim swim, like little fishes in the ocean."

She said as she started to rub more salt in the cuts on Spikes head Instead of screaming Spike started to chuckle

"What's so funny," She asked him

"I was just think how much Buffy is gonna kick your ass for this pet."

Drusilla backed away as she started to chuckle herself

"Poor William, she's not gonna hurt me, because she's not coming for you my sweet,"

"Yes she is, I know she is she loves me" Spike struggled out

"She doesn't love you, no one does, she doesn't need you, she's got everything that she wants, why would she want you." Drusilla said as she walked towards Spike and looked in to his eyes

"No, your wrong" Spike said shaking his head weakly

"Look in to my eyes Spike," She said grabbing Spikes face and forcing him to look at her, as soon as he did Spikes eyes glazed over and he was under Drusilla's spell

"Look at me Spike, Be in me" She said as she waved her hands in front of his face slowly, as his eyes followed her hand she smiled Drusilla slowly danced to the table and picked up a jug of boiling hot water, and danced back

"Who are you, boy" She said

"No one" He said

"Do you deserve her"

"No"

"Do she want you"

"No" Spike said as tears came down his face

"Good boy, Now do you love her" She asked

Something clicked in Spikes brain as he answered

"Yes"

"No, wrong answer, daddy" She said as she poured some water on his chest Spike screamed as it burned into his chest

*~*~*~*~

After spending the day looking round every place Angel could think of, they called it a day and went home, Willow went with Buffy to keep her company

"How are you holding up" Willow asked

"I fine, I'm just worried about Alex," She said looking up at the baby monitor as she heard her son sleeping up stairs

"You know he won't go to sleep unless he is in my arms and I'm wearing Spikes coat, other than that he just cries, its like he can sense if were both not there"

"And I notice that you have the coat on all the time" Willow said signalling to the leather coat Buffy was wearing

"I know, it just reminds me of him and helps me cope with him not being here, because when I stop and think of what he must be going through I cant breath,"

She said as she wrapped the coat more around herself and started to cry, Willow jumped up and wrapped her arms around her friend as Buffy buried her head in Willows lap

"Oh god Willow, I miss him so much, what if I never see him again"

"Oh Buffy, I'm so sorry, we'll find him don't worry." Willow said as she stroked her hair as Buffy cried herself to sleep

*~*~*~*~

Buffy found herself walking up a beach as the sun started to rise behind her she saw Spike, standing wearing blue jeans with no shirt

"Spike," she whispered as she ran to him, she crashed her lip on his in a passionate kiss as she wrapped her arms around him she felt her own top get damp, she pulled away slowly and looked down at his chest, she gasped as cuts started to appear, followed be burns, and realised her shirt was soaked in blood, Buffy looked up and saw Spikes face was know covered in bruises and cuts,

"Oh god," She said reaching up and trying to touch his face, Spike smiled and backed away, he looked down at the sand, she followed his eye line and written in the sand was

380 Spring Street

Buffy looked up at Spike as she saw him smile again then disappear

"SPIKE NO COME BACK" She screamed

*~*~*~*~

Buffy woke up to find Willow next to her and it was morning and she was lying on the couch, Buffy glanced at her watch, which said 6:00 Buffy thought about her dream and remember the address Spike had given him, then she thought about what he looked like in the dream, and tears came to her eyes She pushed back the urge to cry and woke up Willow

"Willow, wake up"

"Buffy what's wrong."

"I need you to look after Alex." She said getting up and straightening up the coat she was still wearing

"Sure" Willow said rubbing her eyes

"He is still asleep but will need his milk when he wakes up" She as she headed to the door picking up her car keys on the way

"That's fine, were are you going"

"I'm taking Spikes advice" She said opening the door

"Oh ok, wait what," Willow never got an answer as Buffy slammed the door behind her
