CHAPTER 3: And So It Begins!

Today was just like any other ordinary school day. I woke up, ate breakfast, put on the glamour spell, went to school and watch Buffy's every move. I have decided to study my enemy, learn her movements, study how her mind works that when when the time comes when I will face her I will have an advantage. This is a typical day for me.

How I wish Spike was still hiding in the basement of the school, then it was easier for me to see him. But I think It was also a good move that he left. Something very evil was always with him watching, It constantly made him talk weird. I dont know who or what it was but I will soon find out, I usually do.

I hear the bell ringing, I guess school is out. My sisters have some investigating to do so we wont be meeting tonight. Well, I guess this is a good time to go out, you might never know I might see Spike but one thing I am sure of . . . something is about to happen on this night of November 12, 2002.

SSSSSSBBBBBBBBBSSSSSS

It is 8:00 pm and I just stepped in to the Bronc (bar they usually go to???). A band is playing a slow song. Then I felt a familiar tingle. I usually feel this whenever Spike is aorund. So I began scanning the room and true enough he is here. He is sitting at the bar and he is in deep thought or maybe sulking. I decided to sit a few chairs from him, ordered a beer from the bartender and observe him. Aside from the occasional sip of his drink, he just stares blankly into space. I cant stand seeing him like this. Maybe now is the time to let him know my existence . . .

Finishing my drink, I stood up and passed by him, but I made sure I was close enough to him that he could hear me speak even if I whispered.

" William! " I whispered and telepathically called him.

I knew he heard me because he immediately sat up straight and began scanning the room.

' William! Over here by the exit . .follow me out! Catch me if you can! ' I teased him telepathically.

Spike stood up from his cahir, his face showed mixed emotions but more so one of anger. He then proceeded to go to the exit.

After I saw him stand, I immediately went out. I knew that within seconds he would be out, I had initailly thought of hiding in the shadows but my instinct told me that he would easily find me. So I decided to use an invinsibility spell, that way I could have the chance to go near him. Seeing him walk out and look around, I slowly apporached him.

" William! Its been so long! " I whispered into his ear.

" Who are you? " He called out. " I am not him and will never be again! " He shouted out angrily.

" Do you prefer I call you Spike then? " I asked him softly.

" Damn you! Who are you . . you bastard! Show me your face you coward! "

" There's no need to be swearing, you will know and see me when the right time comes . . . just remember this . . . I will always be waiting for you! " I softly spoke into his ear. To make it seem that I had left, I conjured up a cold wind to blow. And it worked because after a few more swearing, he started to walk away.

" I love you Spike! " I whispered to his retreating back. I know he would not hear me but I still felt good saying it, at least I was able to say it, eventhough it was his back that I told it to.

Walking home I decided to pass by the cementery, its weird but I feel relaxed in doing so, and guess who I saw??? Right! Who else but the ever reliable slayer Buffy who is now presently having an on and off battle with a former classmate turned vampire Holden Webster. Webster is a psychology graduate and is a very good conversationalist and I think he would easily talk buffy into reveiling her intimate secrets and problems to him. It would have been nice to stay and listen, I could get some more pointers but I decided not to. having seen her all day in school is enough to amke anyone sick and I dont want to spend my free time watching her make mistakes in my free time.

My pace was slow, I did not know how long it took me to reach my home but I knew it was later than usual. As I turned the doorknob and stepped inside, it hit me like a speeding train, my first ever vision while I was awake. I saw an image of Willow in the library talking to a dead girl. Willow looked upset, I could not hear what they were saying but the dead girl she was talking was very evil. I could feel it, she was evil down to the core. Then suddenly I see Buffy and Webster fighting in a crypt. Now I can hear the words, Buffy was asking Webster who turned him and he answered Spike! Then I now see Dawn fighting some kind of dark creature, she was lucky to have killed it. After doing so her dead mother appeared once again I could not hear what they were saying . . . the images started to fade then I heard Dawn's mother say . .. " From beneath you it devours! " then the images disappear. I am surrounded by something black . . it was evil and it was choking me . .. I screamed and I fell down on the floor and I closed my eyes . .. I feel the evil was eating me . . . eating my insides . . I screamed again!. . . opening my eyes I see my sisters around me, there faces were full of worry. As quickly as the pain came, it too disappeared. As I stood up I see myself glowing silver and the only thinig I was able to tell my sisters of what had happen was . . .

" It is here and so it begins!!!!!!! "

Then I fell into a dead faint.
