She jumped as a Frisbee nearly sliced off her head and landed in front of her towel.

Up ahead she saw the group of guys that had been playing with the Frisbee, she saw one of the guys, the youngest looking one, heading towards her. But she couldn't see who it was because the sun was shinning too brightly.

As the guy approached her, Buffy grabbed the Frisbee and stood up to meet him, but was horrified when she saw who it was.

She felt her whole body go numb and her smile had disappeared.

"Pike?"

Chapter 28

Pike

The Frisbee fell from her hand and she felt old feelings bubbling to the surface, mixed feelings of love and hate.

The guy stopped in his tracks and starred at her, disbelief etched on his face, "Liz? Is that really you babe?" He took a few steps closer and smiled, "Hey it is you! I haven't seen you since you moved away right after you graduated from eighth grade!"

"Pike, what are you doing here?" not really caring why he was here, just hoping that it would not be permanent.

Pike picked up the Frisbee, "You remember my brother, Richard? He goes to UC Sunnydale, Its spring break for us in L.A. so I'm hangin' out with him and his friends."

Buffy nodded, "I have to go." She turned to pick up her stuff but Pike grabbed her wrist.

"Babe what's the rush? Don't you wanna catch up on old times? How've you been doing?"

Buffy yanked her wrist out of his grip and looked at him in disgust, "How can you act like this?"

Pike stared at her confused, "What are you talkin' about babe?"

"Don't call me that, my name is not Babe or Liz!" she yelled, "How can you act as though nothing happened?"

Pike shifted uncomfortably, "Listen Li-Buffy, I don't know what you are talking about, why are you getting' so upset? That is no way to greet an old friend."

Buffy could not believe that he had forgotten, "Old friend Pike? Old friend!" she was yelling again. "We were going out since the summer before you enteredeighth grade and you want to call us old friends? I can not believe I wasted my time on you back then. If I had known how you would treat me I would have never agreed to be your girlfriend."

Pike began chuckling, "Are you still mad about that? Buffy that was almost three years ago. I've forgotten all about that little incident." He was laughing but the anger was starting to build inside of him.

Buffy was fuming, Pike was just so unbelievable, "That was no little incident Pike you got sent to prison for attempted sexual assault!" by now the half the beach was watching them.

Pike glanced around, people were watching them, he would have to keep his anger in check for now, "First of all it was a Juvenile Detention Camp not prison and I was only there for the summer, your bitch friend was too chicken to get up on the stand and say somethin' against me."

"Because you had your stupid minions threaten her!"

His fists were clenched and his anger was gaining on control of him, "I should have taken care of you when I had the chance, you're lucky she jumped me." He took a step closer to her.

Buffy saw him step closer and took step back, "No you're lucky that she jumped you because otherwise you would have had a worse punishment."

Pike grit his teeth, "Listen I'm not scared to try something right here with everyone watching so you had better watch what you say."

Buffy cast a nervous glance around, there were a few people watching them, but they hadn't drawn a big crowd yet. Pike was right he could probably get a few hits in before the closest person could reach him. She took another step back.

Pike grinned at her, "That's right you should be afraid, I guess you picked a bad spot this time Babe."

Buffy hated that he could see that she was scared but there was nothing she could do. She was terrified and at first she'd tried to hide it with anger, but now it was impossible. He had already gotten too close for comfort and he was right, she had chosen a bad spot on the beach. There was no one who could reach her before he attacked.

"I thought they said you weren't to come near me."

Pike chuckled, "They most certainly did babe but what can they do about it now? That was L.A. we're in Sunnydale. And I doubt that this dinky little place has cops patrolling the neighborhoods and beaches."

Buffy took another step back, "Pike you'd better go before I get out my cell phone."

"Am I supposed to be scared? I could be right on top of you before you even pulled it out of your bag." He took another step closer.

Buffy continued backing up and Pike continued walking forward until Buffy's back met the fence that went along the beach.

Pike laughed and shook his head, "Why do you still insist on trying to fight me? Didn't you learn anything from before?" he nodded to the scar that she had on the right side of her stomach, it was long, but fading, you could barely see it unless you were actually looking for it. "Besides there's not much you can do right now but just give in. You're corned babe."

Buffy looked down at her scar, Pike had ordered two of his friends to hold her while he made a nice cuts on her skin with his pocket knife, the large scar on the side of her stomach had been the only survivor. That night still haunted her and once in awhile she would wake up screaming and crying. At first it had been on a regular basis but after they moved the nightmares lessened until they completely went away. She had forgotten about the scar until now. And she was more terrified then she had been a few moments ago. Pike was not afraid though, he wasn't afraid of her or of getting caught. As long as he got done what he wanted to do. And he wanted to finish were he'd left off.

"Pike please." Tears made their way down her cheeks.

"That's it babe bring on the tears, just make my job more fun." His left hand reached in side his pocket and produced a brand new pocket knife, larger than the one he'd had before. Buffy stared at it in horror. "That's right, they confiscated my other one, but I bought a new one and it's got all sorts of funky sharp gadgets to play with."

Tears were streaming down her face now, she didn't know what to do. Pike had successfully backed her away from all the people and into a fence. She was caught trapped. Last time she had escaped because her best friend Kimberly had not shown up and jumped him, things would have been a lot worse.

"You ready to hop into my car now?" he grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the fence.

Buffy didn't say anything, she knew this time there would be nothing to stop him, she followed helplessly as Pike dragged her towards the parking lot.

Author's note

Okay I just want to say one thing. For those of you who have not seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Pike is this nice tall guy with black hair and a goatee. And his friend gets turned and attacks him and he ends up helping Buffy fight off the vamps. (This is all before she came to Sunnydale) In my fic I am making him out to be this Jerk, who beat up his first girlfriend and got sent to a Detention Camp for attempted sexual assault. (I did not mention the beating in this chapter but it will most likely be brought up soon). Pike is kind of like Spike in the way that he had awesome hair and he wears a leather jacket. (But that's in the movie) My Pike wears like Abercrombie, Holister, and Areopostale. (I love Areopostale and Holister. But I am not a prep I swear!) So yeah. That was just a little 411 for you readers who have not seen the movie or read the little cartoon book that they made for it. Sarah is not in the movie but she is Buffy in the book. (I have the book) You can probably check the book out at a library it's called: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Origin. I also recommend renting the movie from Blockbuster. Oh and to those of you who have seen the movie if I made a mistake in my description of Pike please let me know. Because I was just going off of memory and I have an awful memory so it's probably screwed up.I also forgot to mention that in my fic Pike is a year older than her. He is a jounior and Buffy is a sophmore.
