"Spike." She said. She looked at a chair in the corner of the room, opposite from the door and, sure enough, he was sitting on it.
"That was some crazy crap you pulled yesterday." He said. He handed her a bottle of water and she downed it like she hadn't had anything to drink in over a week. She crossed her arms and gave him an evil look. Spike stood up and sat next to her, "I hope you don't intend to try to do it again."
"You're a butt munch." Buffy whispered.
"What was that?" Spike asked.
"I called you a butt munch." Buffy yelled, "Was that loud enough for you?"
"Calm it down, Slayer, your yelling is loud enough without the vampire hearing." Spike said.
"And stop calling me Slayer. I do have a name, Vampire." She mocked.
"Buffy." Spike said, "Was your mom on something when she chose your name?"
"Was your mom on something when she named you William the Bloody?" She asked proving that her name was just as bad as his.
"Actually I was born with just William." Spike said. Buffy smiled.
"William." She chuckled, "You so don't look like a William."
"And you look exactly like a Buffy." Spike said.
"And how exactly is a Buffy suppose to look like?" Buffy asked.
"Blond hair. Short. Has an attitude. Sometimes suicidal. A bit off her rocker…."
"Spike, aren't you suppose to be defining a Buffy, not a Spike."
"You're the wrong one." Spike said, "If I was defining myself than it would be…. Handsome, evil, devilish -."
Buffy interrupted him.
"…. Cocky, arrogant, stupid, short.…. And did I mention cocky?" Buffy said.
"Your just saying that cause you want me." Spike smiled, at Buffy's look he added, "I can smell it on you."
"I would never want you, Spike. You're a vampire. Soulless, and u-ugly and your beneath me." Buffy said, she stood up and faced him.
"We'll your just a ….. just a …… daft bitch." Spike yelled, he got off the bed and walked out of the room. Buffy cringed at the sound of the door hitting the wall at full force. She heard a crack and saw that the force cracked the wall.
………………………………...(A few seconds later)
Spike slammed into his room and opened a box of weapons. He pulled out a few things and turned to leave the room.
………………………………...(Same time, different place)
Buffy sat on the bed, almost in tears. She knew that what she had said hurt Spike, but she didn't know why. Maybe it was something from his past.
She didn't know anything about his past. She didn't know much about him at all. But for some reason she wanted to know why it hurt him the way it did.
But something interrupted her thoughts.
The door flew open and in walked Spike.
"Spike." Buffy said, she was scared. She backed up against the bed head board and struggled out of his grasp. She felt her hand being chained up and then she heard the sound of a whip hitting the bed post.
"You piss me off, Slayer." Spike said. He lifted the whip and was about to strike.
"Spike, no, please." Buffy said behind tears, "What did I say?"
"That… comment." Spike yelled.
"Please, no, please don't William." Buffy begged. She cringed and Spike froze. He dropped the whip and unlocked the chains. He left the room silently. Buffy softly rubbed her wrist, wondering what the hell she did to piss him off.
………………………………...(four days later)
For four days Spike didn't come up to see her. She would wake up and see a bag of food on the dresser, but that was it. On the fourth day, she was sick of it and decided to find him. She left the room and turned right, trying to remember the way to the stairs. She found them and walked down them. She saw the familiar doors leading to the outside. Buffy paused before them. Not sure if she should stay or run.
She knew that she needed to run away from here. That's the only way to get away - the only way to escape Spike's plans. She needed to get back to her friends and family. To tell them that she was OK. They were probably freaking out, wondering if she died or if she was still alive.
But something deep inside of her was urging her to stay. Telling her that she was meant to be here. That there was something here she needed to do.
She decided to go back to her room and turned. She immediately jumped. Spike was standing in the hallway and he was shirtless.
"Spike…. I - I'm sorry for whatever I said earlier." Buffy whispered softly.
"It's OK, I…. Overreacted." He whispered back. He motioned towards the door, "You had the chance to go…."
"Yeah, I…. I'm sorry. I-." Buffy shook her head.
"No, …. Why didn't you go? You could have walked out of the door into the sunlight and I wouldn't have been able to get you." He leaned up against the wall and Buffy sighed.
"Your not mad that I was about to run?" Buffy asked.
"I'm not saying that I'm not mad, but I'm just surprised." Spike said.
"I'm a surprising girl." Buffy stepped foreword to him. She touched his stomach and smiled, "I'll be in my room." She left the room and went up the stairs. Spike turned to her and frowned.
"What the hell is going on?" Spike asked really confused.
………………………………...(A few seconds later)
Buffy got into her room and opened her purse. She pulled out a small book and opened it. It was a book of Sudoku puzzles. She started to do that and sing 'Bringin Da Noise' by NSYNC at the same time.
"Bringin' da noise
Bring down the house
We came here to turn the party out
Say come on come on
Let's raise the roof
Forget the roof
Then we can get loose ya'll…"
"We need to get down
The scene is set so right
Everybody's in the house tonight
Lose your mind
Let your body take control
You've got to feel it in your soul
I've got that feeling baby
You know it drives me crazy
And all I wanna do is hit the floor
I wanna shout at ya'll
So make it louder ya'll
And turn it up some more…"
Spike stood by the door listening to her. And when he heard her heart rate slow down, he knew that she was asleep. He went into her room and sat on the chair watching her sleep.
'What the hell is going on with me? I'm supposed to hated the slayer. I'm suppose to make her life hell. Why isn't she tied up? Why isn't she in pain? Why isn't she begging me for mercy?
And most of all, why don't I want to hurt her? God, have I completely turned into a ponce? Is it possible that I may have feelings for this woman?
I barely even know her, but …. For some strange reason, I don't care.
She would make a wonderful mate. But I can't turn her, that would ruin the plans.
Screw the plans...'
Said a small nice voice in his head
"I know what to do."
