britt: Oh, you are so lucky! I've wanted a horse my whole life! But, money is an issue. Big issue at that.
pumpkinbelly: Thank you :o) Um, I'm going to put in more Connor and Dawn action, just for you, and I promise, spuffyness will come in this chapter!
Elizance: That's okay, I was kinda being dramatic when I said no one's reviewing. Although no one was. But I have very little patience. Well, I have patience, I just like reviews, but who doesn't? lol, sorry, I'm rambling.
Buffy had disappeared up to her room right as she finished supper. Spike was going to get her in fifteen minutes, and she was still in her pyjama's.
Reaching into her closet, she pulled out a pair of cuffed denim cropped pants, and a pink tee with "Blondes Have More Fun" on it.
Quickly she changed, put on a light coat of make-up and fell onto her bed to wait for Spike.
The door opened and Buffy looked up to see Dawn come in, followed by Connor. Buffy smiled at the two, but her sister didn't return it.
"Aren't you supposed to be out with Spike?" Dawn asked impatiently.
"Huh? Oh, you're hinting," she said. "Don't worry, I'll go and leave you two lovebirds alone to do your lovey things. I'll just sit downstairs all by my lonesome and-. ."
"Buffy!" Dawn yelled.
"Sorry, I'm going," she said, rasing her hands in defense.
"And your shirt is so not true!" Dawn yelled as Buffy slammed the door behind her.
Buffy followed on Rocket behind Spike. She didn't know where they were headed. They had gone off the main trail a long time ago, and she didn't recognize this area at all.
"How much further?" she complained.
"Just up 'ere," he said, moving Black into a faster gate.
Buffy caught up to him, and slowed down when an old barn came into view. The paint was chipped, and the paddock around it broken. The barn was only big enough to fit a horse, or two.
The trees hid it from any sign of the world, and Buffy wondered how Spike knew about the hidden places.
"Is she in there?" Buffy asked, dismounting Rocket, and leading him over to the barn.
"Yeah, I brought 'er 'ere earlier," he said. "She should be safe. 'S long as she doesn't get out."
"Is that a possibility?" Buffy asked, throwing Rocket's reigns up over his neck and walking towards the barn entrance.
"If she kicks a lot," he said, jogging to catch up to her. "Or if anyone 'appens to stumble across 'er and let 'er out."
"What about food?" Buffy asked, pulling open the door.
The barn looked just as old inside as it did outside. There were two stalls, one on either side. Kamira stuck her head out of the left one, chomping on some hay.
"Brought some over. Should last a while. If not, I can always get more," he said.
"You don't know how much I owe you," she said, hugging him tightly.
"No worries," Spike said. "Why don't you say 'ello, well I go mind the horses."
Buffy nodded and waited for Spike to leave before walking over to Kamira. She opened the stall door, and walked inside, running her hands along the mare's coat.
"You're safe," she said. "Don't worry. Larry might not even find out about this. Then you can come back home with me."
Kamira whinnied.
"I didn't bring any carrots with me, sorry. But I'll make sure to next time," Buffy said, smiling. She wrapped her arms around the mare's neck and clung to her tightly. "What am I going to do Kammy? How do I tell him that I...Love him?"
The sound of horses' hooves stopped her from continuing and she watched as Spike led Black and Rocket into the stall across from Kamira. It was big enough for the both horses to have enough room to roam, so he decided it'd be better to put them in there, then leave them untied outside.
"When can we start training her?" Buffy asked, walking out of her stall.
"I don't think today would be good. You just got out of the 'ospital, you could get 'urt pet. But, first thing tomorrow, once you've 'ad your rest, we'll come out," he said.
Buffy nodded. "I'm just glad she's okay."
"I think she feels the same luv."
Buffy smiled. Spike took her hand, and without saying anything, led her outside. Buffy looked back to the barn and started to speak.
"What about the hor-..."
"We're not leavin'. Just wanna show you something," he said. "If that's okay?"
"Yeah," she said. "As long as it doesn't involve hitting my head."
"Can be sure of that luv," he said, and started to walk again.
A few minutes later, Spike told Buffy to close her eyes. She questioned him, and din't know what he was planning.
"I don't know..." she said.
"Don't you trust me pet?"
"Spike...Of course I do. It's just...I...Fine, closing of my eyes shall begin," she said.
Once he was sure she wasn't peaking, gently he took her hand and led her up a narrow, rocky path. They were walking uphill, and this made Buffy weary again. She opened her eyes, but Spike's hand covered them, and she could only see darkness.
"Don't you trust me not to peak?" she asked.
"How would you know I was covering your eyes, if you weren't peaking?" Spike asked, and Buffy stayed silent. "Gotcha there luv."
"Are we almost there?" Buffy asked, changing the subject. "My feet are getting sore."
"You do complain a lot, don't you pet?"
"Oh, but you know you love it," she said, smiling.
He laughed. "We're 'ere. You can look now."
He took his hand off of hers, and Buffy gasped at the site before her. Looking around her, she felt like she could see the world. Miles of land laid before her, and she was speechless at it's beauty.
Pointing, she giggled with excitement when she saw the ranch.
"Wow," she said. "Wow."
He laughed. "So you like it?"
"Spike, it's...It's beautiful. Where...Where are we?"
She looked down, and saw rock beneath her. Turning, she saw a small trail that led down to the ground, to where the barn was. She hadn't seen these rocks while she was there.
"Don't think it 'as a name. But, I call it Lookout Cliff."
"Real original," she said, smiling. "How do you know where all these beautiful places are?"
"I explore," he said, sitting down.
She sat down beside him, and looked over at him. "Maybe I could...Come explore with you sometime...I mean, if you haven't already explored the whole entire planet."
He laughed. "You want to explore with me luv?"
She smiled, and leaned in to kiss him, but moved past his lips, to his ear, and whispered, "I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else but you Spike. I love you."
She moved back to her sitting position, and no sooner had she gotten comfortable, when Spike pressed his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and welcomed his kiss.
Ek. That sucked...Did it? lol. Tell me, please. I really wanna know what you guys think of this story. I love reviews :o)
