AN: And so, this is the end. I thank you for all of your reviews, they have been most helpful. I will be taking a break from the Buffy fanfic, because at the moment I don't have any more new ideas. There will be others fics, and even soon… but Buffy will be spooking through my head until a new story finds its way. Again, thank you!
Revenge chapter 26
Buffy shivered, laying under the blankets of her cozy bed, not wanting to hear or see anything from the outside world. She didn't read newspapers or watch television, afraid of what could have happened to Spike. A soft knock came on the door then and she raised her head, trying to figure out who this could be. Joyce wouldn't knock, nor would Willow or Tara… although perhaps Tara…
"Come in."
A blonde head poked in, along with a few brownish streaks, where the blonde had grown out. The hair curled softly and the rest of the face followed suit, sculpted cheekbones, dark blue eyes… No!
"Spike!" She screamed as she barely could see through her tears. She jumped off the bed and ran straight into his arms, which made him bump into the doorframe with a quiet 'oof', but he didn't mind at all.
"You're here." She murmured.
"Here to stay, luv." He said in response with a smile. He noticed how tight she was holding him, how much strength there could be in such a lithe body.
"But? But the trial?"
"I'll tell you later… but everything is in order… I'm a free man."
"I'm sorry for…"
Spike quickly laid a finger on her lips and shook his head. There would be no more apologies about this, of neither of them. She had rescued him after he had let her escape from her mental cell… they had saved each other time and time again.
"A new beginning… entirely. No regrets."
Spike whispered softly and Buffy nodded. Finally, after so many days, weeks even… they found each other in a soft kiss, which would last for an eternity, or so both hoped.
In the next morning, the newspapers who had wanted to get rid of Spike so badly, had taken a completely different turn. The title of the biggest article in the Sunnydale Times read:
"A victory for love. The tale of Spike and Buffy."
