Spike had walked off by himself, leaving Buffy and Faith staring after him. Buffy knew she shouldn't have let him go, but pestering him would only make him more upset, so she laid off.
"Yo B, you alright?" Faith asked, snapping Buffy out of her thoughts.
"Um, yeah, I'm fine. I don't think I should've let him go," she said. "I should go after him..."
"He's not yours to babysit B, just leave him," Faith said. "You heard him, if he needs us, he'll scream."
Buffy nodded. "Yeah, I know... But still..."
"C'mon, how about we get something to eat?" Faith said, wrapping her arm around Buffy and starting to walk. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving."
Spike couldn't believe what he had just found out. His father was a vampire, his mother a Slayer. What did that make him? Surely he couldn't be human... But then what was he?
He heard footsteps growing louder behind him, and stopped, turning around. No one was in sight. Shaking it off, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him, he started to walk again, but ran into something... someone...
"Goin somewhere?"
Spike looked up to lock eyes with a frightful pair of glowing yellow ones. Surprised, he jumped back a bit and stared at the creature.
"Actually, yeah, I was," he said bravely. His father was a vampire, his mother a Slayer, and his girlfriend, the now live and kicking Slayer. What did he have to be scared of? "And you mate, were blocking my path."
The vampire tilted his head. "You gonna do something about it 'mate', or just stand there?"
Spike looked around casually, before bringing his fist up, and punching the vampire in the face. He stumbled back, catching his balance, holding his hand to where Spike had punched him.
"Got quite the arm for a stupid human," the vamp said.
"Maybe I'm not..." Spike said, and blocked the punch that the vampire sent his way. Ducking, he moved forward and hit the vampire in the stomach, sending him flying into the nearby tree. Spike shook his hand. "What the... Wow."
Just as the vampire stood, he turned to dust, and Spike looked on confused as Buffy walked out from behind the tree. She ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Are you okay? Why didn't you scream? You said you would scream," she said, pulling away and staring up at him. "You could've got hurt..."
"But I didn't... And the fight was in my favour luv," he said. "Maybe I got some of that super power too. After all, I am the child of a Slayer."
"Maybe, but we don't know for sure..." she said. "And until we do, no more trying to be tough and taking on vampires alone. Even if they are only newly risen. Promise?"
He nodded. "Yeah, but..."
"We'll go talk to Giles," she said, answering his question. "He'll know."
"I don't know," Giles said, taking a sip of his tea. "I have never heard of something like this before..."
"I know..." Buffy said. "But Giles, can't you like... Call up your sources?"
"I will," he said. "Tomorrow. For now, just go home and rest up."
Buffy nodded. "Um, Faith... She said she'd be back in a bit... She was going to meet up with Angel I think."
"Oh, okay," Giles said. "Do you two need a drive?"
"No, we're fine," Buffy said, walking to the door, Spike behind her. "I think we can take care of ourselves."
"Of course, I just..."
"I know," Buffy said.
"I'll call you when I know something," Giles said, and watched as they left.
Buffy looked over at Spike walking beside her, and took his hand. He looked over at her and smiled.
"You're awfully quiet," Buffy said.
"How am I supposed to be? I just found out why my parents' left me, and that I'm some kind of... Mutant."
"Spike, that's not true," Buffy said. "I mean... You just have vampire in you."
"And Slayer," he added.
"Right. But, Slayers aren't mutants," Buffy said. "They're beautiful girls with strength like no other."
He looked down at her and smiled. "They are, aren't they?"
"Hmm. Looks like no one's home," she said, as the two turned up the driveway. "Maybe Darla had her baby extra early."
Spike laughed. "Somehow, I doubt that luv."
"Well I was only suggesting," Buffy said, opening the door and following Spike inside. "Dawn?!"
She waited a minute for her sister to answer, but all she heard was silence. Shrugging, she walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge and searched it for food.
"Looks like we have the house to ourselves," she said, sitting next to him, an apple in her hand. "And all the house has to offer is healthy food."
Spike smiled, but didn't say anything. She looked over at him and frowned. I wish I could say something to make him less sad, she thought. Maybe I could do...
"Spike," she said, and he turned to face her. She smiled at him, before cupping his face in her hand and kissing him. That.
