Chapter 2 Night of the slayer.

Buffy walked up to her house after a long day at work she opened the door and saw Dawn and Willow sat watching cartoons on the TV. She smiled at them and walked into the kitchen where Xander was fixing the back door and Anya was watching him.

"Hey Buff!" Xander turned round and smiled.

"Hey." She said sweetly.

"I'm nearly done!" He nodded and got back to fixing the door.

"Stupid vampires." Buffy sighed and jumped up on kitchen side.

"How was work?" Xander asked without stopping.

"Ah, you know." She shrugged and jumped down off the kitchen side.

She walked up the stairs and into her bedroom. She had moved into her moms old room now, it felt more right now Tara had died. She opened her wardrobe and pulled out some dark clothing and slipped them on. She walked back down stairs and into the living room.

"Hey!" Dawn cheerfully said filling her mouth fill popcorn. "Where about to watch a movie. Wanna join us?"

"I can't. Gotta go patrol." She said waving a stake in her hand.

"Oh. Okay." Dawn said disappointed. She had grown up in the last six months.

"I'll see you guys later." Buffy said and walked out of the house and down the street. She looked up at the night's sky she was so fixed on looking at the shining stars that she didn't notice the man she bumped into. She startled back and looked at the young man.

"Sorry." She half laughed.

"It's okay. I can see why you would bump into me." He said looking up at the stars. "They are beautiful." He smiled at her. "So where you headed?" He asked her.

"Down town I guess." She said with boredom.

"Me too. Maybe I could walk you?"

"Um no that's okay, I was going to stop off at a friends place anyway."

"Oh okay, well I just skip to the killing you part." The man morphed into his vamp face and tried to bite Buffy.

Before he could even get close to her she hit him in the nose and staked him.

She walked though the dust and walked to the cemetery. She scanned the cemetery and looked at Spikes crypt. He headed over to his crypt and opened the door with a struggle. It looked like nobody had been there in awhile she looked over at a tomb and she flashed back to when her and spike slept together on there. She quickly came back to reality and heard growling coming from outside and rushed out of the crypt.

She got home late that night and crept inside the house so she wouldn't wake anybody. She got up to her bedroom and laid on her bed and pulled out a black T-shirt from under her bed. It was Spikes she knew everybody hated him and even she hated him but a part of her couldn't let him go even though he tried to rape her. She laid on her bed hugging the T-shirt.
