Chapter 11
"Got the body?" Spike said trying to sound as sympathetic as he could knowing how upset Buffy and Xander were as they climbed into the Jeep Spike had stolen.
"It's not a body Spike, its Willow." Buffy looked straight ahead not even listening to the apologies spike was throwing her way. Even when he touched her leg she pushed him away as if he were a stranger or worse, a monster.
Spike felt lonely, he had just had his heart ripped out. He knew Buffy loved him she just had a hard time admitting it. But why? She was treating him like he was some big disease.
"Thanks for taking us." Buffy said, it was the first thing she had said since getting in the car and pushing Spike away.
"No problem." Muttered a very pissed off Spike. He had pain in his eyes, and who could blame him.
"You coming in?"
"Nope." No eye contact was made between the pair.
"Why?"
"Buffy, I'm leaving." Spike began to look Buffy in the eyes to see how she reacted.
"But…. Why?"
"I can't stay here."
"Are you coming back?" Buffy was in a state of shock, she didn't want to loose Spike but she couldn't ask him to stay either.
"I don't know." Spike turned the key, the ignition roared to life and he was travailing down the road.
"SPIKE!" Buffy shouted after him with tears pouring from her eyes, but it was too late. He had gone.
"You can't." Tara said to the familiar person come in aid of Willow.
"Please. Tara you don't understand."
"Understand what?" Tara was pacing the room trying to get rid of the man but he refused to go. But maybe Tara should take up on his offer of him sacrificing himself. She knew it was going to be the only way to get her lover back. But was it fair? Taking another persons life in order to bring someone back. Tara knew it wasn't
Why was she being so selfish? She wanted Willow back, more than anything, but it wasn't right to take another persons life.
"You can't. We can't bring Willow back."
Everyone from downstairs looked at Tara and Buffy at just walked in at that point.
"Can't you see, look what happened to Buffy. We brought her back, she was happy. We can't do the same to Willow."
"Tara's right." Giles cut in. "We can't do it to Willow."
"So it's okay you guys do it to me?" Buffy was in a frantic rage as she made her way fully into the house.
"Is that it? Buffy the guinea pig."
"Buffy that's absurd." Giles said, he was the first to break the silence and to get everyone looking at him.
"No, it's not. I've died twice for you guys, and what do I get? Dragged out of heaven cause you can't handle slaying vampires on your own. I was with my mum!"
Buffy fell to the floor crying her eyes out. Suddenly her hair began to change into a white colour with red bits. Buffy's fingernails grew and her clothes changed into a brown ragged sleeveless top and a brown leather skirt, with flat boots.
Buffy's eyes turned red as she stood up and looked at her friends and the new comer.
"You have no idea what you've done."
Then Buffy shimmered out of the house.
