Previously: "Who did this to you?" my throat closed up and I could only whisper, my voice wouldn't go any higher
"Bella"
(Dawn POV)
Bella? Bella wouldn't do this.
"It's all right nibblet, me and Bella worked it out. She's going to be with that ponce Edward" I could hear the pain in his voice. I started to sing very quietly
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Then I was grabbed from behind. I could feel it was male, I pounded his back and kicked his front but nothing could shake him. I remember calling for Spike before I passed out when something hit my head.
(Bella POV)
I was shocked, frozen on the spot. Everyone was looking at me. Buffy with hatred and anger. Angel, Doyle and Cordelia with sympathy. The Cullens, surprise, hurt and shock. Everyone else just plain shock. I forced myself to move and calmly sat on Doyle's lap. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow
"What?" my voice was like ice, showing not to mess around.
"You were going to leave with Spike and Dawn?" Willow asked with a confused expression as if she couldn't see it
"Yes" my answer was curt and short
"Why?" I sighed; the answer should be obvious
"We loved each other, it was normal, plus we wanted to. We would have been one small happy family" I explained, trying to avoid eye contact with the Cullens, especially Edward, they all thought I was opposed to marriage. And I am since Spike.
"But what about us?" Alex asked, I could hear the hurt tone in his voice and the pout he had on.
"We would have kept in touch, well as least with a few of you" I added the last part after a second thought.
"What if we don't want to keep in touch with you? It's just like you to assume everyone would like 'perfect Bella'" Buffy's voice was sarcastic and went straight through me.
"Buffy, I'm not perfect, I have lots of flaws. But it's nice to know you think so much of me" I kept my voice sweet and Doyle shook with silent laughter
"If any of you don't want to keep in touch with me then say so now, because I won't be played with" nobody spoke. I hid my smile behind my hand at Buffy's outraged cry.
"Willow, tell her what you told me, that you hate her and are a better witch then her. How you used her for her magic skills" Buffy's tone and face was smug. I wanted to slap it right off her face. I was hurt that Willow said those things.
"Is that true Will?" Tara asked. I liked Tara, she stood by me. Willow hung her head
"Bella I can-" the door burst open to reveal Spike.
"Bella" He gasped out before he passed out.
(Spike POV) (because we love him)
I woke up to someone patting my face with a small towel. It was Bella. I smiled. It was painful, but she it worth it.
"Bella" I wheezed before I coughed. She breathed a sigh of relief
"Spike" she murmured. I heard a quiet growl, and I could see the ponce Eddie was the one who growled. Angel was pacing. My sire cared. He's still a ponce though. Eddie growled again. What was it this time?
"Your thoughts". I tensed up. He could read my thoughts. I ignored him and thought of Bella. She liked it rough, even let me bite her a few times, and I knew she enjoyed that too.
* flashback *
It was the middle of the night. Then the door burst open, I jumped up game face ready. Bella ran through the door
"Spike" she said seductively. I was instantly hard. She walked towards me and I noticed what she was wearing. Knee-high leather boots, a red tank top that fit perfectly to show every curve and leather pants. She had just come from patrol with Faith. Bella said that slaying vampires makes her horny. I found that out when I caught Bella and Faith going at it in the cemetery, that was a fun night for all of us. I moaned when her body pressed against mine. She pulled my head down and kissed me. Hard. She was very horny. I could smell her arousal. I growled and picked her up, she put her legs around my waist and grinded against me. She tore my shirt from my body and began kissing down my chest. We fell backwards onto the bed. Bella stood up and removed the rest of my clothing. She straddled me and growled when I didn't enter her. I grinned and moved my hands to her breasts. I flickered her nipples and watched them harden. I played for a while longer, enjoying Bella's moans. I was so engrossed with her breasts I didn't notice she had moved till she impaled herself on me. I tossed my head back and groaned. She moved backwards, forwards, up and down. I was in heaven. She moved her head, baring her neck to me. I snarled and bit into her. We didn't last long, she came first but hearing my name on her lips sent me over the edge. We lay together talking until the sun came up and I fell asleep.
*flashback*
Eddie winced
"Spike stop thinking whatever you are thinking" Bella warned. I grinned blocking out the pain
"Sure pet" she loved it when I called her pet. Her eyes softened.
"Spike" she warned, her eyes hard again. I tried not to feel the hurt. When I remembered something,
"Bella, Dawn. She was taken away by some puppet people. I tried to stop them but I can only do so much in my condition" I motioned to my body that was still bruised up. Bella expression went guilty before the words sunk in. she stood up and the chair went backwards
"Dawn's missing" she feinted. Edward caught her. I sighed in relief and got off of the table so she could lay down. Bella awoke a few minutes later. She looked at me.
"Dawn's missing" I nodded Bella shot up and clutched her head as she ran out of the room
"Bella, no. you'll get hurt" the pixie said. Eddie glared at me. How did the pixie know she is going to get hurt? She see the future or something? Edward answered me,
"Yes" I was once again shocked. I followed Bella.
"Who's going with me?" she was asking. I guess she explained the situation. Several people took a step forward
"No! Bella's going alone" Giles said firmly Alone?
"What about us?" the pixie asked
"You stay here as well. We need to see if Bella is a true slayer" I heard Bella scoff.
"Of course I am. I've been in training since I was 10"
"Then prove it" Giles challenged. Bella nodded and ran out the door. Oh shit. I ran to follow but Edward caught me
"She has to prove herself" he told me through gritted teeth.
"She has proven herself, she is the best slayer I've ever seen. She dedicated her life to slaying, never slacking or complaining like slutty over there" I jerked my chin at Slutty. Eddie kept his hold on me.
(Bella POV)
I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back
Now through the fire she call to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same
So I will walk through the fire
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it-
(Spike POV)
The torch I bear is scorching me
And Bella's laughing I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that bitch dies
I better help her out
Cause she is drawn to the fore
Some people never learn
And she will walk through the fire
And let it-
(Third person in magic shop)
Giles: Will this do a thing to change her
Ami leaving dawn in danger
Is Bella to far gone to care?
Xander: What if Bella can't defeat it?
Anya: Beady eyes is right
Were needed
Or we could just sit around and glare
Gang: We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So we will walk through the fire
(Bella POV)
So one by one they turn from me
I guess my friends can't face the cold
But why I froze not one among them knows
And never can be told
(Anya POV)
She came from the grave much graver
(Spike POV)
First he'll kill her
Then I'll save her
(Anya POV)
Tara: Everything is turning out so dark
(Spike POV)
No I'll save her then I'll kill her
(Anya POV)
Willow: I think this line is mostly filler
Giles: What's it going to take to strike a spark?
(Bella POV)
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze
(Demon POV)
So one by one they come to me
The distant redness as their guide
The single flame
Ain't what they had in mind
It's what they have inside
She will come to me
(Everyone POV)
And we are caught in the fire
At the point of no return
So we will walk through the fire
And let it
Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
(Bella POV)
I kicked the door open.
"Showtime" I heard the bastard say.
