Kidnapped!: Chapter 4: Confrontations and Explanations

Buffy POV

Buffy walked into the library and immediately shouted at Giles. "Why the hell is Angel all evil and vampy?"

"Well, Angel wasn't always Angel. He was a demon called Angelus who ran amuck in Europe for several centuries with his family. Then one night he drank of a Gypsy girl, which angered her family so much that they cursed him to have his soul returned and live for all eternity in misery, feeling guilty for what he had done. There, however, were a few clauses in the curse....." Giles explained.

"Clauses? What kind of clauses?" Buffy demanded.

"Well, he, for risk of losing his soul, could never experience true happiness and contentment, another thing is he can't ever drink human blood willingly," Giles continued. "Why do you ask? Come to think of it, how do you mean 'all evil and vampy'?"

"Just like I said. Last night he was all evil bad ass vampire, less good sweet Angel. You mention him drinking blood willingly?..... Oh my god! That's it! He drank my mom's blood!" Buffy burst out in realization.

"Your mother's blood? Then we're all in very great danger!" Giles ran to the one thing he always seemed to get answers from: his occult books.

"Giles! What are you looking up? Why is it worse if he drank of my mother instead of any other person?" Buffy called after him.

"Because Buffy your mother's blood is also somewhat your blood and Slayer blood gives a vampire a definite advantage. When he drinks of a Slayer, he gets stronger and faster than ever before. That's why vampires wish to kill Slayers for more than the obvious reason of getting in their way. You see when a vampire bites someone it has no lasting affect and the power they get from it goes away after awhile, but Slayer blood has lasting affect that withstands time, another useful advantage," Giles explained.

"Is there another reason someone would want me?" Buffy asked quietly.

"Buffy, you must understand. There are many prophecies and creatures which involve the Slayer in some way or another. I can't just pull out the right answer out of my hat. It takes time and careful analysis," he replied.

"I know Giles. Could get you back to me on it when you have something?" Buffy asked as she turned to leave.

"Buffy, what happened last night that you are so curious about prophecies?" Giles asked her curiously.

"I was kidnapped. By Angelus and a British vampire named Spike. I also heard what sounded like the Master and two vampiresses. I think their names were Darla and Drusilla," Buffy explained. "They were going on about how you would be too busy looking for me you wouldn't see it coming."

"Spike? Drusilla? Darla? Angelus? The Master? It?" Giles shot her a quizzical look.

"I think they're planning something. I'm not sure exactly what. But I do know it can't be good," Buffy replied.

"With those particular vampires involve, I'm quite sure you are correct. I'll get right on it," Giles turned toward his office.

"Thanks Giles," Buffy called out as she walked out the door.

Later that night on patrol

Buffy had been feeling better after dusting a few vamps. She was just about to head home when out of nowhere he appeared. She turned to run away but he grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him.

"Slayer...." he smiled. "I don't even know your real name."

"It's Buffy," she told him. "Now if that's all you wanted to know...." She turned to leave.

"No, it's not. I came to talk about what happened," Spike pulled her back.

"There's nothing to talk about," she brushed him off.

"Now that's where you're wrong. You see, I think there is. In fact, there are many things we need to discuss," he let go of her arm.

"Like what?" she snapped at him; her mom would kill her if she didn't get home soon.

"Bloody hell, you're testy. What, did you have a bad day or something?" he asked.

"No, it's just I have to get home soon," Buffy muttered under her breath.

"The thing is.... We have to do something to fix what happened last night. No offense, you're great at snogging, but that was wrong beyond all reason," Spike told her.

"I'm fully aware of that. Now, you know what I think we should do? Pretend it never happened. We never kissed and I didn't let you drink my blood. You and I never had any close physical or emotional contact. We don't even know each other, and that's the way it's gonna stay. Clear?" Buffy snapped again in annoyance.

"Crystal," Spike growled and backed off, letting her turn and go.

She turned and walked away leaving him standing there for a few moments, before he called after her, "You're a bloody piece of work, you know that? Just lead'em on and then pretend it nothing happened."

She ignored him and began to walk home.

He, not taking the hint to leave her alone, continued to yell at her, "Well, I've got news for you, sweetheart, life doesn't always work that way. You can't always erase things from existence just because you don't want them there. It isn't a game. You can't cheat it. You can't pretend something didn't happen just because it was wrong. Many things in life that are wrong, happen and nobody can control it, nobody can stop it no matter how much they want to."

He continued to follow her home and spent the night staring at her window from underneath a tree, watching her. When he was sure she was asleep he crawled to her windowsill and stared in at her even more closely, for he was uninvited and could not enter.
