Chapter 13
Buffy walked outside to get some fresh air. She looked up at the sky when she then felt a presence next to her. "So, how are things going?" A male voice said and Buffy shrugged.
"Not that good. They still seem to be at each others throats. I think me being here is making it worse." She said with a sad expression.
"Don't worry about it, Slayer. Those two can be difficult, it takes time." Buffy sighed and looked at the demon next to her.
"Why are you here, Whistler? The Powers didn't have to send you here to check up on me. I can handle those two." Whistler smiled at her.
"I'm sure you can, but I was sent here to look out for you. They have to work together in the upcoming apocalypse if either one of them is to become human. They're the keys to saving the world." Buffy let out the breath she was holding.
"I'm working on it." Buffy went back inside and headed up to her room. It was late and she was tired. She decided to talk to Spike later as she lay down on her bed and drifted off to sleep. Buffy got up the next day and headed downstairs to see that Connor was back and talking to Dawn. Buffy smiled as she watched them, she could tell that they really seemed to like each other. Dawn smiled when she saw Buffy and waved to her. Buffy smiled and waved back. She walked around a bit and wasn't paying attention when she bumped into Wesley. "Sorry, I was in my own little world there." She said and he just smiled at her.
"That's quite alright. You must have a lot on your mind." Buffy agreed.
"You have no idea. Do you know where Spike is? I need to talk to him." Wesley shook his head.
"I haven't seen him. You should probably ask Angel." Buffy nodded as he walked away.
"That's what I wanted to avoid." She said to herself as she went to find Angel. She couldn't find him in his office so she decided to look for Fred when she then saw Spike talking to Harmony. She sighed and walked over to them. Harmony saw her and shrieked again.
"Buffy, we were just talking. I didn't do anything with him, I swear." She said and Buffy rolled her eyes.
"I'm not going to kill you." She told her as she turned her gaze on Spike. "Can we talk?" Spike nodded and they both walked away to talk in private. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what happened. I know you're probably mad at me, but kissing Angel didn't mean anything. I didn't even want to do it." Spike held up his hand to stop her.
"It's okay, Buffy. I talked to Angel and I realized that it was a mistake. I should have just let you explain when I found out." He told her.
"You talked to Angel? Did you guys fight?" Spike shook his head.
"No, we just talked and he made me realize a few things. He also seems okay about us. I have to admit I didn't see that one coming." Buffy sighed in relief. It looked like they were finally starting to get along. She knew that she would have to tell them the truth sooner now, but she could wait a little bit for that.
