Chapter 14

"Spike," Buffy wakens to find herself in his arms. There's another beat though, so close. I have my ear on his chest, his heart its beating. "Spike your alive," I whisper as he continues to sleep. Asleep he looks so sweet even vulnerable. Spike a human, what he's always wanted, and now he's saved the world and everything and he's alive, and human. "Always knew you were a great man, I love you" I cuddle closer to him.

Back at the scoobies…

Everything's better there, like normal well as normal as Sunnydale gets. The witch person, who needed to gather a group of witches to cast this spell to control humanity, was stopped. Everyone moved on, some additions were added to them over the years, and some died. Most of them were at the slayer base though where the slayers were.

Willow, was with Kennedy after Oz left and Tara died. Even a more powerful witch now. Xander lost his love Anya about a year ago, after Spike closed the hell mouth. Giles, along with the other alive watchers were helping the slayers train. Buffy was there but left after she heard what happened, and wanted to see if there were any survivors or if he was alive. Dawn came along, being Buffy's little sister had some transformations caused by an ex but now she's back to being a normal human.

It was like the whole Buffy missing thing, the switching bodies with Drusilla never happened. Only Buffy was aware that it happened, and it was like the last whatever years never happened, way too fast for that but she had all the memories of it. That kiss, brought them back, does it mean something? Had to a kiss with Angel never made that happen?

"Do you know when Buffy's getting back?" Xander looks around at all the slayer trainees.

Willow looks around, "No, she just left said she had to see him."

"Him as in Spike or him as in Angel?" Xander asks her.

If she finds him she's going to hate us, everyone except her knew he was alive. "Remember, we never told her and what's the chance of them finding each other in the ruins? But she will be back soon, give her time to catch up. It's not like it's the first time she's left."

Buffy and Spike

"Buffy?" he wakes up. "Your still here," he looks surprised.

She rolls her eyes, "Spike I'm not going anywhere."

"I feel different," he puts his hand to his chest. He tries to stop breathing and ends up coughing, failing at it. "I have a heartbeat, I need to breathe, and I have this hunger in me I haven't felt for years." He gasps, "I'm human."

She can't help but smirk at him. "Yes you are. You saved the world, you're a good man. I love you," she kisses him gently.

He looks surprised, tooken back. "Buffy I love you too."

Angel walks in, looks pained, "Sorry to interrupt the love fest, but was wondering if you were ever going to get up."

"Hey mate," he grins.

He sees them in bed, and looks away. "Who's the other heartbeat? Spike are you hiding someone else here when Buffy is here?" he looks happy, trying to get Buffy away from him.

"Nope mate, that's my heart you here, Buffy and I well you know and now I'm human," me and Buffy will live and die together, he has her close to him.

She feels nothing towards Angel, happily in Spikes arms. Angel hurt her and would lose his soul; if they had sex but Spike he didn't lose anything he gained life. "It's true, you can even hear it if you like but you might want to wait until he's in a more suitable state to do that."

"Yeah, I'll wait," Angel starts to leave. "See you guys later he leaves them alone.

Spike grins, "Finally some alone time with my girl," he grins.

She grins; she defiantly liked the sound of that.

Angel

"Buffy and him? He does what and gets to be human? I thought she at least had better taste. He was a killer," he paces around.

"Angel, let's face it their together, you two ended a long time ago," Wesley tries to tell him. He sees his expression, "Well you were the one who left her in the first place."

"So she could be happy, have a normal life, have a normal boyfriend."

"You did what you had to do," Wesley tries to comfort him. "But at least she has a normal boyfriend now, a normal life she'll never have, any slayer knows that. She has had a long life though considering the other slayers."

"Yeah she has and I guess it's my fault."

"You couldn't expect her to not move on. Angel hate to tell you this but get over her, there's still Nina."

How can he say that! He doesn't understand, nobody does. "Fine, I'll try," he tells him instead.

Fred walks in, surprised to see Angel and especially Wesley. "Wesley."

"Fred," he tries to cup her face but fails as his hand just passes through her."

Everyone was in love except him. I make a getaway so they can be alone.

"Angel," Dru comes out from the shadows.

"Dru, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see him, but he was with her."

"Know how that feels," he sighs.

"And she changed him, made him human. Why? He was so good, until all those changes, the chip, the soul, and now he's human."

He gets everything, that killer!

"But you could always change; you could make the city scream in terror," she tries to lure him.

What was the point in staying good? I would never be redeemed can't hide from what I am forever. "Yes we can do that."

She smiles, "Yes and the pain will begin."

I smile, "Let's go ahead, I think I know who first."

"Yes, he will hurt."

If he couldn't have Buffy no one would, even if I had to kill a few people, no torture that's more fun. She won't know what it's like to love, they will all be gone. She'd soon get over it no matter how much he made her think she loved him.

Please review

What do you think of Angel's bad self, if he couldn't have her no one would? Someone will die, just who will it be? Will Buffy and Spike be able to stop Angel and Dru's attempt to kill him?
