Chapter 8

Buffy laid in bed with her eyes closed even though she has been awake for quite some time. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes all this would've been just a dream, her mind simply playing cruel games with her bruised and battered heart. So she laid still for what seemed to be eternity until she felt strong arm going around her waist.

Letting out a sigh of relief she turned around and faced him.

"What's wrong pet?" He asked as he heard her sigh.

"Nothing wrong, everything is as it's supposed to be, I just can't believe that I've been given another chance to right all the future wrongs."

"Tell me Buffy, what would the future hold for us if you weren't sent back?" He asked and watched her eyes tearing away from his and gazing at the wall. She really wished that he wouldn't have asked this dreaded question, but she also knew that he deserved to know.

"Nothing good, only pain, pain that was caused by my misery, denial and weakness. And now I have that chance to give you what you and everyone else deserves" Buffy replied and shifted closer to him.

"Fair enough then. So are you going to tell your Scoobies?"

"Not yet I need time, but hopefully I won't have to" She said and sat up on the bed, her back facing him.

"There's just one problem, and I don't know how to deal with it"

"What is it luv?" He asked as he moved closer to her and she leaned against his firm chest and sighed.

"My memory is kinda foggy, but I think I've already mentioned Glory to others before, I'm pretty sure it was just couple of days before Tara's family showed up, anyway…. Glory is a hell god and she'd after my sister, who by the way is not real, she's a mystical energy, a key that could tear down walls between all dimensions and cause chaos."

"You mean that Nibblet could bring hell on earth? That's…swee...horrible, absolutely horrible" His smirk quickly faded as he saw Buffy's head shaking in disapproval.

"Spike you can drop the evil act" Buffy said in an annoyed voice.

"Right…sorry, you were saying…."

"I died to save Dawn, but I don't really feel like doing all that again, because this time Willow might not bring me back, and if she does the balance will be tipped and that's a whole new pile of problems, so fighting Glory is out of question, she's too strong, the only way to defeat her is to kill her human host, who's pretty much an innocent in all this." Buffy blurred out without taking a breath, but seeing the confusion on Spike's face, she simplified.

"The deal is pretty much like Angel's case. While the demon is caged up in a body, it's Angel. But once it's released its Angelus. So a way to defeat Angelus is to kill Angel. Get it?"

"Yeah, when are you going to kill the pounce?"

"I uhh.." Buffy began, but didn't know what to say, what was there to say?

"Luv, there always are casualties in war," He said softly.

"I know, and mind you he's not that innocent, he knew what he was doing when he took Dawn back. I just, I don't think I can, I'm not strong enough to kill," She whispered back.

"You may not be, but if it keeps you and the Nibble alive, I'll do it, if you let me" He said firmly, his blue eyes boring into her hazel ones, her head nodding once in reply.

She got off the bed and reached for the phone dialing the number that she surprisingly still remembered.

"Hello…. Riley. I need your help with something…"

I know it's EXTREMELLY short, but i just wanted to get that stupid chip out, coz i reallllly don't like Spike being helpless in this story.
