A Way With Words
Disclaimer- Not mine, unfortunately. If they were I would have spike and buffy happy in their own little spin-off called "Spuffy: the Vampire and the Slayer." But alas they belong to Joss and since he is creative in his own, evil way, the show is over and spike and buffy are on other sides of the planet. *Sigh* oh well. Well anyway enjoy my fic and don't sue!
Distribution- sure just ask me!
Spoilers- all the way up to the end of S7 of Buffy and S5 of Ats.
Pairing- Spike/Buffy of course!!!!!
Summary- Sequel to "A tribute to a man". This Fiction is about Spike coming back and Buffy being all depressed because she doesn't know he's back. Sad at first, then fluff all the way!!!!! Second chapter POV is pretty much everyone's. Then then it turns to Buffy POV.
A/N: this chapter takes place a little over a week before the first one. So in other words if you're confused: in the first chapter, Buffy gives a speech 6 weeks after the final battle at Spike's funeral. So this fic takes place about a month after the final battle. Spike's in L.A. at Wolfram and Hart.
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Two-
One month after the final battle:
Angel's crew at Wolfram & Hart were gathered in his mahogany office examining the small enveloped package on his desk.
Angel made a move to open it but Wesley stopped him.
"Angel, it could be dangerous! Do not open it until we know precisely what it contains." He warned his employer in his high class British accent.
Angel rolled his eyes in response. "What do you suggest we do, Wes? X-ray it?"
Fred piped up nervously, "Well, I could-"
"No! Fred, an x-ray might just set it off, I still suggest we-"He began, but was interrupted by a groan.
Harmony, who had been in a corner examining her perfectly manicured fingernails, stomped over to the desk impatiently. "For the love of Macy's!" She grumbled as she tried to rip open the envelope and failed. Wesley made a move to stop her but Angel held up a hand. If anyone were to risk opening the parcel, why not Harmony? Angel and Gunn smiled in amusement and Harmony tried again to rip it open, only to break a nail. She growled in frustration and vamped out. Then she sunk her fangs into the envelope and successfully tore it open. Harmony pulled out a trinket chain first.
Everybody, save Harmony's, eyes widened when they saw the amulet. She held it up so she could survey the gem.
"Ooooh pretty!!!!" She exclaimed excitedly, not noticing the shocked expressions of the others, while they launched into a conversation of their own.
"Dear lord!" Wesley whispered. If he wasn't wearing contacts, he would be cleaning his glasses right this moment.
"Why do you think we have it?" Angel inquired, looking curiously from the amulet Harmony was oogeling to Wesley.
Gunn raised his eyebrows as well to the former watcher, "Yeah, I mean Angel said he was supposed to wear the charm thing and then it would destroy itself."
Wesley thought a moment and then cleared his throat, "Yes, well obviously we assumed many things. We really weren't quite sure what would happen," as an afterthought he added, "Or that Angel wouldn't be the one to wear it."
There wear murmers of agreement all around the room, save Gunn and Harmony.
"You didn't wear the amulet?" Gunn wondered, thinking he obviously missed something. Then another thought came to him, "Wait, if you didn't wear the amulet, who did? You are the only souled vamp we know, so who else could of fit the prophecy? It said..." He cut of seeing the look on Angel and Wesley's faces. "What?"
"Spike." Angel muttered to himself, but Gunn picked up on it.
"Spike?" Gunn mulled the name over In his head until recognition hit him, "Oh you mean, soulless, evil vampire that had a freaky obsession with your Slayer at one time?"
Angel sighed as he sat down at his desk and ran a hand over his face. "The one and Only. Only not so soulless anymore."
Gunn once again quirked a dark brow, "He has a soul now? Are you sure it wasn't **you** he had an obsession with?"
"H-How did he get cursed?" Fred wondered.
Angel's brows knitted together as he replied darkly, "He didn't."
"Huh?" was the reply of the others, save harmony who was still too caught up in the beautiful gem to pay attention.
"He went looking for it. For Buffy." He answered sadly.
There were small gasps and a "Dear Lord!" from Wesley. Angel nodded in agreement.
"A vampire who searched for his soul! It's quite unheard of!" Wesley really wished he had worn his glasses today.
Suddenly, there was a shriek from the other side of the room and a load "clunk" as Harmony dropped the amulet in surprise. All heads shot to her and the necklace. It was-
"It's glowing!" Gunn exclaimed, wide eyed.
"And Shaking!" Harmony chimed in. Sure enough, the amulet sat on the table, the jewel glowing bright yellow as it shook violently. Angel and his employees walked towards it cautiously.
Harmony reached out to touch it. "Harmony! Don't!" Wesley yelled, but before she had the chance to pick it up, it shook harder and the stone stopped glowing just as the power went out.
"What the F-"Gunn started to gasp, but Angel made a Shhing noise in the dark.
Angel used his acute vampyric hearing to find out what was going on inside the pitch black office. Then there was a crash and what Angel could of sworn was a "Bloody hell!" when the lights abruptly turned back on.
Everybody looked down at the table in front of them, or rather, where the table used to be. Now it was broke in half, the pieces in a heap on the floor, along with a black-clad figure moaning on top of it.
The man stood up on wobbly legs and looked confusedly at his surroundings. Gunn and Fred looked equally bewildered, but a look of recognition spread across Wesley's face and Angel narrowed his eyes at the figure.
"Spike?"
Spike turned around at the voice of his grandsire. His eyes widened and he cursed "Bloody Hell!" as he fell to the ground in a dead (no pun intended) faint.
The last thing he heard was Harmony's high pitch shriek., "Blondie Bear!"
