Chapter 13
Buffy stared at the spot where her mate had been standing just mere seconds ago. She shook her head and she suddenly felt her mark tingle and like her blood was boiling. She frowned but then understanding dawned on her face and she managed a little smile.
"He's angry… That's why…"
Dawn looked at her sister. "What did you s…" Her eyes widened and she almost jumped up and down on the sofa. "Oh my god, oh my god!" She pointed to the plaster on Buffy's neck.
All eyes turned to Buffy but she just smiled. Giles paled and took of his glasses.
"Buffy…" He asked when he finally put them on. "I think I speak for everyone here when I ask you; why do you have a plaster on your neck?"
Buffy smiled slightly and got up from the couch. She turned to Willow.
"Willow… Could you do a locator spell, I want to find Riley."
She turned away from Willow when the wiccan got up from the couch to gather supplies.
"Giles…" She sighed. "I know you probably think that I'm… Crazy. But, I want it this way, and if you don't approve, well, too bad for you, because…"
She pulled off her plaster and the Scooby gang gasped. "A claim isn't something you can undo."
Spike stormed through Sunnydale, stopping occasionally to check if he could feel Riley's smell somewhere. He remembered it very clearly, Riley often smelled of antiseptics and strangely enough, corn.
Spike roared loudly and kicked on a garbage can.
Why couldn't he sense him anywhere?
Willow felt the energy run through her and she looked at the crystal that, moments ago, had swung back and forth above the Sunnydale map. It was now pointed…
"He's at the cemetery!" Willow yelled from her place in the kitchen and Giles frowned.
"Can you face him alone, Buffy?" She nodded and Giles waved towards the door. "Off you go then… We'll talk later."
Buffy ran through the cemetery, running faster than ever before, the anger that Spike felt coursing through her veins.
She stopped in the middle of the cemetery squinting to see anything in the darkness. Then she felt him behind her, running his hands over her bare shoulders. She regretted wearing a dress.
"Well, hello, luv." Riley did a bad impression of Spike's British accent.
"Riley." Buffy greeted, feeling disgust emerge from the pit of her stomach.
"Well… Why aren't you cheating on me with your little vampire?" He spun her around so that she was facing him and she winced at his tight hold of her upper arms.
He lowered his voice. "I would've hoped that he was dust by now… After all…" He clenched his jaw when he saw Spike's bite marks on Buffy's neck.
"Whore!" He yelled and before Buffy knew it, she was on the damp ground, his hands pressing her down. "You're mine!"
She glared at him and then she spit in his face. "I'll never be yours…"
She tried to get up from the ground but he had the advantage as he used his whole bodyweight to keep her beneath him. "Let me go!" She screamed and she felt herself panic.
He lifted his right hand and slapped her over the face.
"Shut. Up. You filthy excuse for a woman…" She looked away from him.
"Look at me! I'm your fiancé!" He hit her again and she bit her lip not to cry. The anger in his eyes was dreadful.
"Now, let's make you my loving wife to be, again…" He smirked evilly and began to pull on the buttons on her dress.
Buffy began to struggle beneath him and the panic she felt was worse then something that she'd ever felt before.
Spike sighed and ran his hands through his tousled locks. 'Bloody hell… I have to find the wanker before he does anything else to her…"
He ran back to an underground garage where he had parked his Desoto and drove back to the Summers' house.
Dawn paced back and forth in the living room when she heard the door open. "Spike!" She exclaimed running towards him.
"Niblet…" He said, his voice low. "I couldn't find him…Where's Buffy?"
Dawn bit her lip and looked away from Spike. "Well!"
Dawn looked up at Spike. "She went after Riley…"
"She knew where he was?"
"Willow did this spell you know… And she we…"
Spike interrupted her.
"Where?"
"The cemetery."
And before she had the time to react, Spike had sprinted out the door.
Buffy almost cried in panic as she tried to get Riley off of her.
"Riley, let go of me! Leave me alone! Please, don't do this…" She screamed.
But Riley didn't stop. Buffy turned her head and bit him hard in his left arm. She didn't hesitate and she quickly stood up from the ground and began to run away from him, but her legs were numb from having been on the cold ground and Riley soon caught up with her.
"Bitch!" He swore, punching her hard in the face, and she felt her blood trickle down her lower lip.
She answered him with a kick in the stomach but he seemed oblivious to it. Buffy felt weak from having to struggle from getting raped and it didn't take long before he had caught up with her again.
She felt herself once again pressed down by his hands and she really began to panic. With her last powers she tried to break free, but useless.
"Hold still! You should be grateful I even want to touch you!" He yelled at her.
He ripped her dress open and began to pull down her underwear.
Spike felt something in the pit of his stomach. He felt like he was trapped and he wanted to get out of there, but he ignored the feeling, until it dawned on him. "Buffy!" He yelled, running faster towards the cemetery.
A/N Sorry for leaving you like that… But we're having a storm here in Växjö, Sweden… Don't want to risk my computer getting struck by lightning… Or something. My mum always tells me to turn the computer off when it's storming… But please review and I will post next chappie tomorrow!
Lots of love/Anna
