Chapter 9 - What's Happening
First Love Dies Hard

It raced through her like a spreading virus. She could feel it in her, crawling inside of her. Neither her nor Spike knew what was happening to her. Spike held her gently rocking her back and forth in his arms. Her body was going against everything it was meant to be yet it felt so right. It made no sense but that's just how she felt. She could feel her mental and physical strength growing, pressure in her arms, legs and stomach made her feel like she was being torn apart. It was filling every molecule of her body
The room that enveloped them was dark with shadows in every corner. The room had a touch of fear and a lot of mystery.
"Spike." She groaned. His fingers threaded through her golden hair as he wanted so badly for her pain to go away.
"I'm sorry baby." he told her holding her tightly.
After a few moments the door to Spike's bedroom opened and there stood Angelus. Both Buffy and Spike started to panic inside till Angelus opened his mouth. "Never thought you would have the guts boy." His snide remark made Spike want to question him, but Angelus could see it in his eyes. "You never did have the balls to turn anyone or watch me do it...tsk tsk. Never wanted to learn from me."
"What are you talking about?" Spike didn't understand where Angelus was getting at.
"You don't remember your tuning do you?" Spike honestly didn't, all he remembered was him and Dru in and alley then he woke up without a pulse. Spike shook his head.
"When the demon possesses the little girl, very hot I might add, that's what happens to them." Spike looked down at Buffy as she shook. Angelus walked further into the room with a smirk.
"When she's done care to share?" That made Spike's blood boil. How could he want to share the woman he loved? Did Angelus not recognize her? Sure he had only seen her once but still. Angelus saw the anger in Spike's eyes and backed off.
"Guess you never did like sharing your toys." With that Angelus left the couple alone in the room. Buffy slowly looked up.
"I'm a vampire?" Spike shook his head
"No! Only way you could be is if I bite you then you bite me."
"I don't understand."
"Me either. he kissed the top of her head. "Me either."

"She's probably going through it now" Giles managed to say as he filled his brown leather bag with stakes, crossbows and battle axes. Ruby, Willow, Oz, and Xander stood waiting for instructions from the watcher. After the weapons were in the bag, Giles brought out a tiny box, opened it, and pulled out a bottle of clear liquid and a needle.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Ruby anxiously wanting her best friend and former sister back. Giles filled the needle with the liquid.
"We're going to get her. She's the slayer now and way too vulnerable to be in the clutches of a master vampire. His evil ways will brainwash her.

"Let the Big Bad in." Spike smiled kissing down Buffy's naked belly and down to the apex of her thighs. Buffy laughed.
"Get away you big perv."
Buffy's reaction had stopped. She had just suddenly stopped shaking and she was filled with some kind of high that her and Spike were taking advantage of, quickly forgetting what had happened.
"Big evil perv to you woman." He said with a smile as he crawled up her and kissed her on the lips. Before they could make love again little did they know that a little window in one of the walls was open and sheer small gusts of wind entered the window and floated to the bed where the couple lay. The spirits were sucked into their bodies. The couple feel limp, they were unconscious.

When Buffy and Spike opened their eyes they saw an old Victorian style room with a big wooden bed in the middle. They looked down at their attire and realized they were wearing the same time clothes. They saw a young man sitting on the bed with a book covering his face. He appeared to be speaking as he wrote.
"Elizabeth, your hair is like the sun..." The book moved to show William. Buffy smiled.
"You were so cute." She laughed. Apparently William couldn't hear them. There suddenly was a knock at the door. They saw William slide the book under his bed when the maid came in.
"Master William, Miss Elizabeth is here for you."
"Thank you Victoria." He said as he straightened himself up and walked out of the room. The couple followed down the stairs following the brown haired William. Suddenly William came to a stop as well as Buffy and Spike. Elizabeth stood not facing them. Suddenly she turned around, a beautiful glow surrounded her and a smile lit up her face.
"Hello William." William smiled and walked up to her.
"Elizabeth, you are doing well this evening?" Elizabeth smiled and nodded.
"Yes, and yourself?"
"I myself am doing fine" Spike leaned over to Buffy.
"You, my love, were beautiful. And still are." Buffy turned to him and smiled.
"Do you remember this day?"
"Not a bloody clue." Buffy laughed. Suddenly the maid ran in.
"William, Elizabeth..." She said breathlessly.
"What's the matter Victoria?"
"It's Scarlet....something's happened!" This day was just starting to come back to Spike but before they could do anything their eyes snapped opened and they were surrounded by the Scooby gang. Spike felt a pain go through his arm and he looked down to see a needle in his upper arm. Xander and Oz had grabbed Buffy and covered her mouth not wanting her to scream. Spike wanted to do anything to get to her but he felt himself weakening. Buffy hadn't figured out how to use her slayer strength yet so she was as powerless as the day Spike had met her. Oz threw her over his shoulder and they all ran out of the house.
