CHAPTER 6:Heartache
I have not gone to sleep since I arrived. I was with Spike all night for the 2nd straight day. And even though in my current sleepless state, I still know that evil was currently residing in the slayers house. How can she be so naïve? Can't she feel the evil presence? New potentials are in the house and the slayer is out to get another one. I just cannot get it, its so obvious .. .Eve is The First in disguise once again. But none of the scooby gang noticed. With their current situation, I can really say that they are no match against The First. I wonder how long will they last?
I just got the info I need, I am glad I have sisters to help me gather it. The only way to kill the ubervamp is through head decapitation. And I should do it now while The First is away playing with the slayer. With my two samurai blades secured to my back, I transported myself to the cave. Appearing in my solid form, I did not care if I will be seen, The ubervamp will die anyway and it would not be able to talk about me and as for Spike, he is too beat up that maybe he will think that I am a figment of his imagination.
" Hey Ugly! You think you're the best? . . . Well you haven't met me! "
The ubervamp, which was hiding in the corner, came out and snarled angrily. It then came running towards me. I just stood straight and tall as I see it taking a punch at my face. I docked, gave a punch at Its guts which then made Its body curl. I then gave It a roundhouse kick to Its face, which sent the ubervamp flying to the wall. Because of the strong impact, the cave gave a little shake, giving a sleeping Spike a jolt. This made him look up.
" Shocked? Scared? You should be! I am the first and one of a kind! You will never meet another person like me! Don't you feel special and honored? " I asked the ubervamp as It struggles to get up from the rubble.
I felt someone watching me from the side, so I made a sideways glance. That's when I saw him staring at me.
" Hey there sweetheart! Nice of you to wake up! Will get you out in a minute, just after I take care of this creep over here. " Then I gave him my sweetest smile and a flying kiss.
Because I was too preoccupied with Spike, I did not notice that the ubervamp had already stood up from the crash. It was too late when I noticed It. It had already landed a punch to my face, which sent me now flying to the wall.
Standing from the rubble, I quickly wiped away the blood from my broken lip. I was furious!
" That's it no more mister nice guy! " I thought.
I decide to do the attacking now. Getting a well-hidden dagger from my back (I bet you did not know I had one did you?) I threw it right at the ubervamps chest where the heart is supposed to be located. I knew that it would not kill It, but it should be enough to get It distracted. With the ubervamp now preoccupied in removing the dagger, I had enough time to approach It and give It a hard sidekick. But the ubervamp had quick reflexes. It grabbed my ankle but I had faster reflexes. I made a jump then twisted my body. Using my free foot, I gave Its head a strong sidekick, which in turn made It release the other foot. The ubervamp was seething mad and I was ready. Taking out my two swords, I then took a defensive stance. The ubervamp came rushing towards me and because he was too angry, I knew that It would not be thinking clearly. I again docked and slashed Its legs making the ubervamp crumble down. I then quickly slashed off both Its arms and for the final act, I slashed off Its head. No sooner after I have done the decapitation, the ubervamp turned into dust.
Looking up to Spike, I see him once again stare at me. His eyes showed many emotions shock, wonderment, and admiration just to name a few.
Sheathing back my blades, I silently made my way to Spike. I wanted to tell him lots of things, I wanted to make a witty remark but suddenly I could not. Just a few moments ago I was able to do that but now it feels that my tongue is tied in knots. Because I cannot get any words out of my mouth, I settled to do the next best thing. I caressed his cheeks.
" I have been wanting to do this for the longest time ever. " These were the first words I was finally able to say. It was more like a whisper but I'm sure he heard it, with his vampiric sense of hearing and all.
" I am here to help you, now I'm going to give you some strength ok? Just relax, I won't hurt you I promise. "
Seeing him nod, I begin to concentrate. Sending him a big boost of energy, I begin to instantly see him improve in appearance.
" Are you a dream luv? " He hoarsely asked.
" No! Just think of me as your guardian angel. " I replied.
I started to work on his rope when Mina appeared. But she made sure that I was the only one to see her. She then told me that the slayer had finally discovered that The First was in her house taking the form of the Eve. I had to act quickly. The First could return anytime now. But not to worry I already had an idea. I quickly chanted a spell and there standing in front of me was a perfect replica of the ubervamp. I made sure It looked, smelled, acted the same as the original. I had to make sure it was very real that it could fool The First and I know I did it well.
Turning back my attention to Spike, I felt guilty. But there was nothing else I could do.
" I have to leave . . . . The First is coming back! I will be back to get you . . . I promise! "
I then gave him a chaste kiss on his lips then I made myself invisible. It was just in time cause the minute I disappeared from Spikes sight, The First appeared.
SSSSBBBBSSSSSS
That night, I saw the slayer fight my created ubervamp and made a big fuss in killing it. If she only knew that It was not the real thing. But because The First never left the cave after ITs little stint with the slayer, I never had the chance to set my Spike free.
Now here I am watching the slayer walk into the cave, she was being the hero as she is. She is here to free Spike. Tears start streaming down my face as I see Spike look lovingly at her. And when I saw him put his arms on her shoulder as he leaned on her for support, I felt like I was dying. How I wish that it was me who was helping him out, I wish it was going to be me who will nurse him back to help. But it was not meant to be . . .it will not be . . . it cannot be . . .. As they both disappear from my line of sight, I finally brake down and cried my heart out. I was so close, but now I am farther that I used to be. Now he is in the arms of the slayer and it breaks my heart just thinking about it. Why has fate been so cruel to me? Why???????????????
