YOU'VE GOT MAIL

My Addiction says: can you hold on? I've got some mail.

The Little Willow tree says: Sure.

Buffy clicks on to the e-mail, and is shocked to what it says.

Buffy:

I have some information here that you would find intersting. I need you to come to the magic shop pronto. It's about your Aunt Elizabeth and William the bloody. Please come as quickly as you can.

Jiles

Buffy stares at the screen, wondering what was wrong.

My Addiction says: Hey Willow? I need to go, talk to you later?

The Little Willow tree says: oh, okay. See you tomorrow then. Bye!

My Addiction says: Yeah, really sorry! BUH-BYE!

At the Magic Shop.

"So Jiles, what's so important about my dead Aunt, that you just had to-" Then Buffy just can't finish the sentence. Odd. Buffy looks at Jiles and smiles. " Well?"

Jiles looks over at Buffy and hands her a book. "Read." And he points to the top of the page. Buffy's eyes widen.

The History of William the Bloody and Elizabeth Summers:

William The Bloody and Elizabeth Summers were enemies. They were sworn to fight each other, but ended up as lovers. William the Bloody, a vampire, and Elizabeth Summers, a Slayer. When The council went to find Elizabeth to terminate her, she was not found, and her window broken. She was assumed dead and her body was never found, but as the council gave up, her grave was found by a crypt, which was empty. This crypt was understood to be William the Bloody's nesting spot for the day, but it was never confirmed. November 22nd marks the day of her death. Her life was a useful one, but an indiscretion. She shamed us, and we all hope that in future this won't happen again. Countess Elizabeth Constance Summers was the first slayer to ever commit such a crime against her line, and hopefully will be the only one to do so. William the Bloody has not been seen since and is presumed dead.

Buffy looks up at Jiles. "She…she was his lover?" She barley gasps out. Jiles just nods his head. "How, how could she? She's a slayer! Slayers don't sleep with the enemy!" She slams the book shut and gets up. " Look, is this all you brought me here for?" She sighs and runs a hand through her hair. Jiles looks up at Buffy and nods.

"One more thing." He gives her a small note. " I didn't read it. It's from someone name Riley?"

Buffy looks at it with a snarl. "That's just what I need right now. A little pep talk from a macho man who hates my guts. Thanks, but no thanks. Keep it." With that Buffy starts to walk toward the door. " Can we train tomorrow? I'm feeling tired."

" Of course."

"Thanks Jiles. See you." and she left, stuck to think about what she just read. Then she went off toward the graveyard. To find the certain crypt where her Aunt was buried beside. She needed to see. As Buffy gets closer she doesn't realize that someone is watching her, with puzzled blue eyes, bleached hair, and a leather jacket. She turns a corner and is there. She didn't even know how she knew they way there. Buffy stares at the tomb stone with cold eyes. Why? How could she?

Elizabeth Constance Summers

In loving memory we Pray

A Sister, A Mother,A Wife

REST IN PEACE

Buffy noticed that there were fresh flowers by it. " She was a wife and she just had to fool around behind his back with a stinken vampire, of all people." she grumbles under her breath.

"Actually, he died before she met me." Spike said as he stepped from the shadows.

Buffy doesn't even move. "Why?" she asks through clenched teeth. Surprised she'sjust talking and not acting.

"What do you mean why? You must of figured it out by now, obviously you would have if you came here." Spike responds, keeping a calm, straight face.

"SHE HAD CHILDREN! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU JUST FIGHT HER INSTEAD OF GETTING WITH HER!" Buffy yells as she turns around and glares at him, full force. "AND FOR THAT MATTER, WHY DID YOU KILL HER!"

Spike looks at her, with a very hard look. " Do you think I had a choice? Do you think I would have killed her if my group hadn't known? I killed her for HER sake, other wise it would have been a much more agonizing death missy. Who do you think dug her grave, paid for that tomb stone, and made sure that she got what little respect she deserved? That's right pet, ME." Spike finished pointing at himself. This left Buffy in shock. HE did all that?

"What? Why? You're a vampire, you can't have these fe-"

"Don't underestimate your enemy Pet, There is a lot more to them that you don't know." He interrupts her, calmly eyes casting down. " And if your wondering why I did all of this, it wasn't for her pride, or children, or family." He pauses and looks Buffy right in the eye, who by now has stepped down from her position of authority, and was just listening. " It was because I loved her."
