Summary: Buffy can't sleep at night because dreams of heaven and how it was
taken from her haunt her. The only place she can find peace is at Spike's
crypt. What happens when Willow finds out that Buffy has been sneaking off
to Spike's at night?
~*Chapter 2: Where'd You Go?*~
Buffy lay in her bed. Her hair loose and whispers of 'no' left her lips.
The scene replayed in her head over and over in the two hours she'd been in bed.
~*~*~*~ The coffin was white on the inside. Her breath was coming in frantic gasps as the air supply was decreasing.
She clawed at the coffin and dug through the dirt desperate to reach the surface.
Roots and dirt fell around her and pieces of rock and hard material scraped at her arms and hands as though forcing her to stay in the dark.
She was lost, her hair getting in her face and she made her way to the outside.
She stood her hands bloody and her clothes covered with dirt and grime.
The only thing on her mind was what had she done wrong? ~*~*~*~ She awoke terrified, wanting to scream. She pulled the blankets form her body and stood, patting herself down searching for the dirt and grime when she realized it was a dream, a memory.
She went to the mirror and tears fell down her cheeks.
She was dressed in her Yummy Sushi Pajamas and she searched for her slippers. She found the fluffy pink slippers and left her room as she ran to Spike's crypt taking a jacket with her.
~*~*~*~
Spike lay in bed with the blood red comforter over him, covering him from the waist down.
He heard is name being whispered and opened on eye, lifting his head from the pillow.
In his sight was Buffy in her pajamas before him.
"Buffy, luv what's the matter?"
"I can't sleep." She whispered. He nodded, grateful that he was wearing boxers for once.
He moved to the side welcoming Buffy to join him and she lay beside him. He brought the comforter over her form and she sighed.
"Are you ok, pet?"
"Bad dreams"
"Of what, ducks?"
She turned and wrapped her arm around his waist, laying her head on his chest.
He sighed knowing that if she wanted to tell him she would and just her being in his arms was enough.
"Night Spike"
"Night luv"
~*~*~*~
Three knocks on the white door which was the gateway to the slayer's room.
"Buffy"
Willow stepped into Buffy's room. She lifted the blankets in search of the petite blond slayer. She noticed that Buffy's slippers and jacket were gone. ~*~*~*~
Willow was armed with a stake and holy water.
She reached the crypt of the bleached vampire (! we know and love!)
"Spike, Buffy's-"
That was when she noticed the blond pair entangled in each other's arms and they didn't even sense the witch's presence.
"Gone"
Tbc.....
Look for 'Chapter 3: This I Promise You' Buffy is outraged that Willow wants to take the only thing that makes her feel at peace and goes to Spike. He promises he'll do whatever he can to help Buffy to be happy.
