Chapter Thirty-Six: Trick

Once Buffy and Riley got to the warehouse and Riley pounced on Buffy as soon as she got there, Buffy struggled against him as he kissed her neck

"What are you doing, I thought you wanted me" Riley said

"I...I do but, Riley how are you so strong" Buffy said wincing as he kissed her neck

"Why" He said starting to reach under her skirt

"I just wondered" She said pushing his hand away

"Come on you don't need to know that just yet" He said pushing his hand back up her skirt

Buffy couldn't take it any more and squirmed away from him and walked away

"Buffy, come on" He said walking to her Buffy just backed up again

"You lying bitch, you lying little, I should have killed you when I had the chance, and kill that brat of yours too" He said pulling out the gun

"Hey Buffy, do you wanna see a trick," He said smiling "While I was away, I meet a few people on the way"

"Commander of worlds, hear my plea, open a door to the world of dreams, the place where creatures of hell fear" He said raising his hands,

All of a sudden Buffy heard a crackling she looked up to find a portal slowly opening, getting bigger and bigger, Buffy turned and saw Spike turn in to the warehouse

"Spike" Buffy yelled

"Hey peroxide boy" Riley said raising the gun to Spike and pulling out a knife at Buffy

"Bloody hell, what is it with you" Spike said then looking up at the growing portal

"Riley don't do this, close it now" Buffy said

"Sorry Buffy, it can only close if somebody goes in and kills the beast, now I would stay and watch the show but I have to go" He said backing up to the door and stepping out, locking it behind him

"Well that one problem gone" Buffy said

"Buffy are you ok" Spike said running to her

"Yeah I'm fine" She said starting to walk to him, once they reached each other they hugged

Spike let her go and walked to the growing portal and looked inside, all of a sudden and tentacle came out heading to Buffy

"BUFFY GET OUT OF THE WAY" Spike screamed as he pushed his wife out the way of the tentacle that were shooting out the portal

Spike turned round and looked at the portal and knew what he had to do

"It can only close if somebody goes in and kills the beast" He remembered Riley saying

"Well here we go again" Spike said to himself as he realised that once again he had to sacrifice himself for the world and for his love

He walked over to Buffy, Buffy looked at him and looked at the portal and realised what he was thinking

"Spike, no" Buffy said as tears came to her eyes

"Hey no tears, it will be ok" He said pulling her to him and kissing her passionately as tears came down both faces

"Spike please don't go, don't leave me, don't leave us" She said putting her hand on her stomach

"I'm so sorry Buffy but I have to do this, I can't let anything happen to you or the little ones" He said as he bent down and kissed her stomach,

"Don't give your mum to much trouble ok" He stood back up and gave her a watery smile as tears were still coming down her face

"We had a good run didn't we pet, over five years " Spike said smiling and wiping a tear away with his thumb

"Spike its not over please you can't die I wont let you, we'll find another way to close it"

"Buffy, listen there's not enough time" He said looking back at the growing portal

"There's time, there's lots of time dammit" She screamed

"Please Buffy listen, I should have given this to you before but..." He pulled out a small red velvet box, he opened it to her

Buffy gasped at the beauty of the ring. It was a line of rubies and diamonds incrusted in a gold eternity band

"Its an eternity ring, this ring shows that I will love you forever, I will always be here Buffy" He said placing the ring on her finger then putting his hand over her heart "And never forget it"

"Spike, I don't think I can live with out you" She whispered

"You have to Buffy, for Alex, for the little one growing inside of you," He said putting his hand on her stomach

"NO, not without you, I need you," She cried

Spike couldn't take it any more and pulled her to his chest, as she cried into his shirt he cried into her hair

"Tell Alex I love him and that he'll have to take over being the Big Bad for me,"

He said chuckling slightly, Spike looked back and realised it was time He pulled away from her and looked into her eyes, and kissed her one last time then kissed her fore head before backing away

"Oh god, Spike please don't go, I love you" She said trying to hold on to him

Spike hugged her again "I love you Buffy I'll always love you no matter what" He said before pushing her away and running to the portal

"SPIKE, NO" She screamed as he jumped in, almost instantly it closed up behind him

"No" She whispered as she collapsed to the floor and sobbed

AN: NOOOOOOO SPIKES GONE, what's is she gonna do, she's got a son, a baby on the way and two ex boyfriends who want to kill her poor Buffy
