Chapter 2:
Buffy woke up to a shrill ringing of the telephone. She opened her eyes and groaned. As the ringing continued, she let out another groan and threw off her blanket.
"Dawn! Answer the phone!" Buffy waited for the silencing of the ringing to stop, but it never did. With an exasperated sigh, she stood up and threw open the door.
"Dawn! Answer the phone!"
"You answer it! I'm busy!" Buffy glared at her sister's door. She turned and padded down the hallway until she reached the stairs. Walking down the stairs she made her way into the kitchen and snatched up the telephone.
"Hello?" Xander's tired voice rang through and Buffy winced.
"Buffy! Finally. Are you okay? Why did it take so long to get to the phone? Is there trouble or something?"
"Xander, I'm fine, lower your voice! I just woke up." Buffy rolled her eyes as her best friend proceeded to call out apology after apology.
"It's fine Xander, so why are you calling?"
"Buff, I'm supposed to go out with Willow this morning but I can't. I'm going out with Anya. Will you go with her?"
"Xander, why don't you just go some other time?"
"Wills has been feeling lonely and I don't want her to think I blew her off or anything."
"Well, Xan, you did."
"Buffy, please just go with Willow. I really don't want her to be alone, you know?" Buffy smiled into the phone and nodded.
"Alright, Xander. I'll go. Besides, me and Wills have been needing to have some good ole' girl chat."
"Great! Thanks Buff. I'll talk to you later." Buffy smiled and hung up the phone. She turned to see her sister walk into the room.
"Hey Buffy. Who was that?" Dawn opened up the fridge and pulled out a coca cola.
"It was Xander. I'm going out with Willow this morning okay? You'll be okay by yourself?" Dawn rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Buffy smiled and walked up to her room to get dressed.
******
Spike walked through the streets of Sunnydale with the brightest smile on his face. He didn't know what had happened and he didn't care. The only thing on his mind was the look on the slayer's face when she found out that he was human.
'She'll love me now. She has to.'
"Speaking of the slayer." Spike's eyes followed the blonde as she walked across the street and in his direction.
Spike flicked his cigarette away and followed the petite slayer.
******
Buffy couldn't help smiling. The day was just so beautiful. The sun shined down through the trees. How could anyone in their right mind want to stay inside on such a gorgeous day?
In her own thoughts, she didn't even notice the tall dark figure until she had bumped into him.
"I'm so sor--" Buffy's eyes widened in surprise when she looked up into the icy blue eyes of William the Bloody.
"Hello Slayer." Spike pulled out his most charming smile but it was quickly wiped off his face by the slayer's fist.
The moment she had realized that Spike was standing in broad daylight, Buffy had the vampire on the ground. She dug her foot into his back as she searched his hands.
"It can't be. What the hell is going on? I thought Angel had destroyed it."
Spike smirked at the slayer when he realized that she was searching for the Ring of Amara.
"You're not going to find it slayer."
Spike's smirk just made Buffy even angrier. She pulled him up by his collar and threw him into a tree.
"How the hell did you do it? What is going on Spike?" Spike stared down into her angry face and sighed.
"I don't know slayer."
"What? You don't know? I'm not stupid." She punched him in the mouth.
"I'm not a liar Buffy." Buffy's eyes widened when she heard the use of her first name.
"So you expect me to believe that you just woke up being able to go out into the sun without being dust?"
"Well, yeah."
"Puhlease! Like I'm supposed to believe that!" Spike sighed in frustration and grabbed her hand. He pulled it to his chest.
Buffy's eyes widened at the sudden contact between her and Spike. Her eyes widened even more when she felt the soft beating of a heart up under her hand.
"Oh my god." Spike nodded at her wide eyes.
"My thoughts exactly."
"But, how?" Buffy fumbled over her words in confusion. Spike smiled and shrugged.
"I told you. I just woke up this way. In the middle of the night, I woke up feeling like my heart was being ripped out of my body. It bloody hurt like hell. Then I woke up and I was like this."
"I think, that we should get some help from Giles."
"Yeah, so we should go to the watcher's then?" Buffy nodded but slammed her hand to her head.
"I can't! I'm supposed to do something with Willow this morning. I can't abandon her."
Spike raised an eyebrow at the mention of the redhead.
"So? I think my predicament is a bit more important!" Buffy glared at him and sighed.
"You wouldn't understand anyway. Besides, Giles is out of town. He won't be back until Monday. Sorry, but you'll be stuck like this for a few more days." Spike's eyes widened and he smiled the brightest smile she had seen from someone in a while.
"Are kidding me? This is bloody fabulous! I haven't seen the sun in what seems like forever."
"Whatever, come on. We can figure something out at Willow's. She'll know what to do." Buffy turned and started walking down the sidewalk to the Rosenburg's residence. Spike waited a few seconds before running to catch up with the blond.
"So why aren't we going to the dorms?" Buffy sighed at the question from the peroxide blonde.
"Wills hasn't been at the dorm for a while. Her parents moved to New York and they gave her the house."
"Her parents just abandoned her like that?" Buffy nodded with sad eyes.
"It seems a lot of people have been doing that to her lately." The topic was silenced once they reached the tall, two-story house. Buffy and Spike walked up to the door and Buffy reached under the doormat and pulled out the key. She unlocked the door and stepped in. Spike entered the house and looked around at the surroundings. Unlike the slayer's house, whose walls were all warm colors, these walls were a plain white. The mantles and tables didn't have loving pictures of families or friends. Everything was so cold. Spike shuddered. He had always heard of the horrid childhood Willow had, but he had never really thought about it until now.
"Willow!" Buffy's call brought Spike out of his thoughts. He followed Buffy up the stairs. They walked to a door that was on the far end of the hall. Buffy knocked on the door, but no answer came. Buffy turned to Spike with worry in her eyes.
"Wills? You in there?" Still, there was no answer. Buffy opened the door slowly and gasped. Spike peeked his head in to see what she was looking at. His eyes widened as he surveyed the room. The whole room was pitch black. Blankets covered the large windows. All of the furniture was tossed about and clothes and things were shattered and thrown about the room.
Buffy slammed the door opened and ran into the room. "Willow!" She gasped when she turned to see the redhead sitting on a chair. Spike examined the redhead. She was sitting indian style on a chair with her back to them. What caused Buffy and Spike's surprise, though, was that she was sitting in front of a mirror.
Willow had no reflection.
