Buffy went into the ally not yet realizing that Angel was not far behind her. The scream had come from a girl in the corner of the dark ally way. Three Vampires surrounded her one going for her neck. Buffy tapped the Vamp on the shoulder not wanting this to go to far, "You really need to pick a better location than this. I mean the Ally. Come on!"
Before the vamp could think she had him tackled to the ground and was putting a stake through his heart. "One down…" she started
"One to go…" Angel said through a burst of dust behind him.
Buffy smiled at him great full for his help she wasn't in the mood for a long fight. They turned to the last vampire, he was the biggest of the three. Angel and Buffy took turns kicking the vamp and hitting, fighting side by side.
Just like old times…maybe there was something there? Angel wondered as Buffy stabbed the vamp sending the dust into the wind.
"Angel…" Another scream sounded in the distance, "What the hell…I know this is Sunnyhell but this is ridiculous." She darted toward the scream. Deep in her head she hoped that the scream didn't come from a victim of Spike.
Spike was lying face down on the pavement he had heard the woman screaming for help, but the pain of a broken ankle prevented him from running to her rescue. "What the hell?" One second he was riding his motorcycle out of town, the next a woman ran in front of him and he swerved to miss her. He looked around and saw a woman sobbing. She could barely breath, he had to get up to help, and he stood gingerly on the ankle. "Hey…" he walked to her "what were you doing in the road like that?"
"Its coming!" she screamed for a second time that night this time afraid for her life not his. She pointed into the woods where a large Moon demon came trampling out.
"Moonstruck demon…they only eat…" virgins… That was a personal subject he would rather not know.
Buffy reached the scream and found a very dead demon, the neck had been snapped. "Moonstruck?" Angel asked from behind her.
"Looks like it, I have never seen one before, and they are huge." The neck of the Moonstruck was two feet wide at least "who ever killed this must be strong" She looked around the scene trying to see who had managed to kill this beast. She saw a woman bending over a figure. Buffy ran toward the woman seeing that the figure was human. She walked closer the woman was talking quietly to her self.
"He fell off the motorcycle…he saved me…my fault…he's dead…" the woman buried her head into the body saying thank you as she stood to talk to the police.
Buffy saw it, a platinum head and a leather duster. "Spike!" She ran to him forgetting the waiting Angel, "Spike, no" she knelt by his side. Touching his face she tried to blink away the tears. "You can't go now, no. Not now that understands. You can't be dead."
"Not any more than normal," she smiled as she held his head in her lap.
Angel watched the two former lovers; he realized that this was never going to work. Buffy had moved on, and so should he. He had to get back to LA… and Cordy.
Spike looked into those eyes. They were alive with love, Angel. He had almost forgotten him "you have to go back to him…he's waiting." Spike stood up knowing he had lost her. "Bye Buffy" he walked off in to the woods.
