Into the Darkness
Diana awoke with a fright to find herself in Spike's arms. A cold sweat came over her but she found herself yet again unable to speak. Had she spaced out and dreamed up the whole thing. She had figured that Spike played the whole prince charming gig and told the girls something like she had fainted from exhuastion and needed to go home.
They all trusted him so easily. As they arrived at the car Spike slid diana in the back seat. Once her friends were in on the other side he leaned in and kissed her on her forehead. Diana was still a bit dazed and weak so she just calmy winked at him.
"Hey ladies.. you should join miss Diana here next weekend. Because we have a date. Goodnight ladies." He then walked off into the darkness towards his crimson colored car. The girls gigled as they drove off and very excitedly asked Diana for the gooshy details. She yawned and fell asleep totally ignoring them.
Even if she had told them everything they wouldn't have believed her. After the girls had dropped off Diana and were well away from her home. We can see a crimson car turn on and speed off down the street carrying a certain blonde outta sight.
(A/N: i can so see that last part as if it were part of the Buffy show. Diana stumbles inside sleepily. While we see a close up on Spike as he drives off after watching her go inside. He had followed the girls to her house.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few Days later Spike showed up at Diana's house. A dozen roses in hand and he was dressed casually. Diana came to the door in a velvet red robe a gift he had sent her after their first meeting. "What are you doing here. we don't have a date until friday.." she was definitely not happy about him being there.
" What can't I come and give my new Girlfriend a dozen Dark Red Roses and make sure she's alright?" Spike smirked and went down on one knee and presented the roses to her. She smiled lightly since she sensed her brother behind her gigling. She took the roses and continued smiling lightly at him.
" I'm fine thank you." she slammed the door in his face and turned to walk away without a word. The week passed by swiftly and Diana grew slightly pale. She pondered what might be coming in the time ahead. Would she skip the date and save herself without telling her friends? Or go and face whatever Spike was going to unleash upon her. Her fate lay in either his hands or her own.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diana made her decision. She was going to the club. She had to face her own fears. She didn't want this to happen to anyone else. She was to good for this. Once Spike paid for her to get in the two went to dance for a bit then after a while he ushered her back out onto the patio. Diana took a long look at her friends, waved and walked outside. They walked quietly back towards their favorite spot on the patio. Diana's mind was flooded with thoughts.
She wanted to run but for some reason her mind and body could not cooperate. She stood there in his arms for a moment only to push him off and run. She ran fast as she could towards the open club doors. Spike of course stood and watched her as she clumsily tripped over a heavy metal chair.
He laughed as he appeared next to her as she scrambled to get up. " You can't run from fate luv. No one's going to save you, Its inevitable." Spike smirked as he reached and pulled her up off the ground. "No you're wrong. I have a choice, No I have a right to stay alive!" Diana said as she stared at him as she finally got up to her feet to face him.
" No you're wrong my dear. You already made your choice when you came here." Spike again began dragging her to the dark corner when Diana suddenly gave him a low kick to the gut and dashed off. Diana sprinted for the door but stopped when she heard a small crack from her ankle she had brusied from her fall earlier.
A sprain perhaps was her downfall this time as she came crashing down once more near the door. Spike stood over her smirking a bit and bent down offering his hand to her. Diana hesitated but with tears lining her eyes she took it and he gently lifted her up.
'What is he doing ? ' Diana thought to herself. ' Is he toying me?' She looked at him with questioning eyes. Spike seemd to have read her mind. " Not here not now." Diana went and told her best friend Xiomi to cover for her saying she'd be sleeping over her house so her mom would not worry. Spike then carried her off and they disappeared in his crimson colored car.

Lady Alex here. There's not much to say about thsi chapter. Except I think this is the third rewrite I've done of this chapter.
I thought making it a bit more angsty would make it more interesting.
So what you think?
Love it? Hate it? Want more?
Review please!
