"Once more once again" chapter 1


Buffy is strolling purposely through the cemetery clad in pale blue faded jeans, dark brown tank top and black leather jacket. She has her hair done up in a pony tail with loose bits out to frame her face. She is holding a large shiny axe with stakes in various placed on her person.

Spike is behind a tree watching her patrol, ready to her at any sign she might need it. He is unnoticed by her.

Soft music that starts off Evanescence's "Everybody's fool" begins and builds up to rock music and Spike is beginning to wonder if anyone else can hear it or if it is just him when Buffy starts singing.

Perfect by nature

Icons of self indulgence (A/N Slayers)

Just what we all need

She spots two vamps cornering a girl near a crypt close by and reaches into her jacket pulling out a stake and throwing it at one turning it to dust.

More lies about a world that

She uses her shiny axe to behead the other all while singing and then helps the girl up before continuing to stride.

Never was and never will be

Have you no shame don't you see me

You know you've got everybody fooled.

Spike watches impressed by both singing and fighting as she jumps onto a headstone and addresses five vampires who are not fledglings.

Look here she comes now

Bow down and stare in wonder

She swings her axe and soon there are only two confused bloodsuckers and a rather large cloud of dust left.

Oh how we love you

She does a fancy foreward flip down hitting them both in the head with her feet in the process

No flaws when you're pretending

While doing a somersault she puts down the axe and picks up a branch and stakes one with each end.

But now I know she

Picks up he axe and keeps going, Spike keeps following unnoticed.

Never was and never will be

You don't know how you betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled (A/N About her pretending

Without out a mask

Where will you hide

She glances around as if sensing Spike. 'She sees me' thinks Spike

Can't find yourself

Lost in your lies

Sees her reflection in the axe and holds its gaze as she sings

I know the truth know

I know who you are

and I don't love you anymore

She runs towards a small group of vamps

Never was and never will be

You don't know how you've betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Spike comes out and they dust the vampires in no time, she looks around the cemetery

It never was and never will be

Spike puts a comforting hand on her shoulder and she turns around and sings to him.

You're not real and you can't save me

Somehow now you're everybody's fool.....

She holds the last note really well as the rock music magnificently finishes. Buffy looks at Spike pleadingly.

"Please tell me I did not just sing."

"'Fraid you did love but if it makes you feel any better you were bloody fantastic."

"Thanks I think." Buffy said getting up feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Is that really how you feel?" Spike asked.

"About what?"

"Like your living some sort of lie, fooling the people that believe your perfect never being yourself."

"How long were you listening anyway, actually after hearing it in your words I think I might, just a little."

"Well luv you never have to do that in front of me, remember that.'

"Thanks, well I gotta go I don't see how the music and the me singing can be something that occurs naturally."

"Guess not ya better go find the watcher then."

"Yeah see ya Spike." And Spike watched as she collected her axe and walked out of the cemetery.

Please review me I will post the next one or two chapters asap so you get the general idea but after that encouragement or disencouragement is needed!!!
