A Wiccan's Revenge

Chapter 4 - Training with Spike

Buffy slowly woke up and the first thing she thought about was the day

she had experienced yesterday. She was still fuming about the entire

situation with Spike even though she wanted it out of her memory for

the rest of eternity. She sat up and looked at her bandaged hand, she

automatically went to unwrap it. She grabbed the end of the white cloth

and slowly unwrapped her hand. Sure she was barley awake but she wanted

to see if there was any evidence of the day before.

Finally pulling it off she saw it was completely healed, and smiled

until she saw a little scar above her ring finger. At that she sighed

angrily, now every time she saw that scar yesterday would flash through

her mind. She got out of bed and automatically went to her closet and

pulled out a red top and a pair of faded jeans and changed then went

downstairs to have breakfast with Willow and Tara before they went to

school. The moment she entered the kitchen she saw Willow sitting in

front of the island eating pancakes and Tara putting pancakes on

another plate.

"Morning." Buffy groaned walking over to the fridge, which she opened

and grabbed a bottle of orange juice out. She popped off the top and

stood in front of the fridge taking a sip of it.

"Good morning, Buff." Willow said taking another bite of her pancakes.

Buffy could tell that they were giving each other the silent treatment,

as she sat down next to Willow.

Willow and Tara grabbed their bags off the couch and headed for the

door.

"Bye Buffy." Willow said giving Buffy a hug followed by a still quiet

Tara.

"See you guys later." Buffy told them as they walked out the door. They

headed for Willow's black SUV. Buffy sat on the couch again with

nothing to do the house was

cleaned, no vamps around to kill. She thought about going to Spike's

but then moved the idea out of head as she remembered certain events.

She then remembered that Giles wanted her to train today since they had

been lacking lately, well more correctly he had. So she walked up the

stairs to her room and grabbed some sweats and a workout bra. She was

glad she had to train, today wasn't a good day to visit the blonde

vamp. She wanted to avoid him at all costs.

Buffy walked thought the Magic Box door as the phone rang. She made her

way over to the table where Xander and Anya sat, waiting untll Giles

got off the phone to train.

"Hey Buffster." Xander said turning to the slayer.

"Hey guys." Buffy said sitting down, Xander and Anya could tell she was

down.

"What's wrong?" Asked Xander as he closed the magazine he was reading

before.

Buffy shook her head.

"Nothing much. Just droopy I guess." She said resting her chin on her

hand. "Have you guys found anything out about the big bad yet yet?"

"Nope. There is absolutely nothing about her in the books."

"Xander!" Anya yelled with wide eyes.

"What?!" Xander asked looking around to see if there was something

wrong.

"What if she's too old and predates the written word?"

"Huh?" Xander asked utterly confused about what his girlfriend was

saying.

"Xander what if she so old she was here before they started writing,

before they had books."

"OK." Xander was still not getting it, as Giles who was finally off the

phone, walked over to where they sat.

"Xander, she's old." Giles said rolling his eyes.

"Oh." He said as a response.

"Hello Buffy." Giles said addressing his slayer. "That was Quentin

Travers and the council." Giles informed them.

"What do they want?" Buffy whined.

"They are going to come here Monday, that's only a few days away and

they wanted to give us time to prepare. They have information about

that demon we're researching. They will not give it to us till we show

they aren't giving the information into the wrong hands." Buffy just

groaned. Giles turned his attention to Buffy.

"I set up the training room for you to practice. Spike is in there now.

I asked him to help you train." Buffy's eyes widened.

"Spike, there's a Spike, Spike's here? Why Spike?" She asked a little

too quickly.

"Well I, figured since you two have never seemed able to kill each

other then he can help you." Buffy scrunched her eyebrows before

getting up and walking to the training room. She mumbled to herself on

the way there.

"I could kill Spike. I just don't want to."

"What's that?" Giles asked.

"Nothing." She sighed.

When Buffy entered the room Spike was hitting the punching bag in

nothing but black sweat pants. She craned her neck to the side to look

at him in a different angle. Then when her presence was noticed Spike

turned to face her she quickly snapped her neck back to the natural

position. She had a fake smile on.

'Lying here on the floor where you left me

I think I took too much...'

"Ready for a rough and tumble, Slayer?" He asked walking over to her.

"What?!" Buffy asked with widen eyes to what he had said. Spike raised

an eyebrow.

"Fighting." He offered waiting for a reply. He wasn't sure exactly what

she thought he was talking about but he had a pretty good idea.

'I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun...'

"Oh, I knew that." She said with a smile. Spike just turned around and

threw a pair of boxing gloves in her direction, which she caught with

ease and quickly put on. She stopped as she saw the scar, frustrated

she shoved the gloves on.

'Can't stay on your life support...

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

Cause it's making me itch ...'

"Have fun yesterday?" She heard Spike ask. She turned around and looked

at him thinking he meant something else other than yesterday. But to

her dismay he had a smirk on his face.

"Shut up and lets fight."

'I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I think I'll get out of here...'

"Can't wait to feel me on your skin again, Slayer?" With that Buffy

punched him square in the jaw.

"Fuck, Slayer! Not my fault." He whined.

'Where I can run, just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear, you're just like a pill...'

"You started it. Now hold the bag." She said pointing to the punching

bag that hung by the wall. He walked over and grasped the bad and

waited for her to come, and she walked over and started to punch the

bag. Spike watched every move she made, every angle she turned every

time she blinked. Spike watched it all. He realized that if he watched

her this intensely when he was with Dru he probably would have been

able to kill her. What was happening to him? He was one of the most

feared vampires next to Angelus. Slayer of Slayers and now he was

falling for one.

'Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making me ill...'

Buffy stormed through the front door of her house and slammed the door

so hard the entire house shook. She then realized that Tara and Willow

were home. She figured they were busy if they didn't hear that. She

walked into the kitchen to get some water; she glanced out the window

to see Willow sitting on the ground meditating.

'I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

This must be a bad trip

All of the other pills they were different

Maybe I should get some help...'

She noticed she looked so peaceful not a care in the world, she and

Tara must have made up. Buffy wished she could feel like that, all

these issues and problems were circling around her head never giving

her a moment of peace and she couldn't stand it. Buffy reached up and

pulled a glass out of the cabinet and filled it up with water as she

watched Willow.

'I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

Cause it's making me itch...

Willow must have sensed her staring because she opened her eyes to see

Buffy through the window. Willow smiled and waved. Buffy gave a tiny

smiled then waved back. She then turned away from the window and drank

her water in one gulp. As she walked upstairs she heard some chanting

form Willow and Tara's room. She couldn't understand what Tara was

saying. She moved closer until and slowly, quietly cracked the door

open for a view. Tara heard and turned her way.

'I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I think i'll get out of here...'

"Sorry." Buffy apologized. "Just was curious about what you were up to."

"Curiosity killed the cat." Tara said and this made Buffy frown till a

smile erupted on Tara's lips. "I was just doing a house blessing." She

said and Buffy smiled then continued on to her room, but once Buffy was

out of range, Tara's smile turned to a sneer.

'Where I can run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You're making me ill

You keep making me ill...'

"House blessing my ass."

Authors note- Hope you like it so far. The song is Pink - Like a pill.

As you probably noticed I think songs are important parts of chapters.

Especially if you listen to it while you read. Also the reason I

haven't updated lately was because I updated my site and I've had a lot

on my Spuffy plate.
