A/N: I'd like to thank Angellufy and AnnaG11 for reviewing. :D


Buffy dated Angel privately. Throughout the next few weeks she would sneak away from the cameras and meet at his apartment or other private places. It was funny how a show that followed her on into creepy, dark and abandoned places couldn't figure out what creepy, dark and abandoned places she was meeting her boyfriend at.

That night Buffy was to meet Angel at a mausoleum. They were going to have a picnic inside. She was even carrying a basket with a store bought pie. She entered and saw a dark figured in the shadows toward the back of the room.

"Honey, I'm home," Buffy said as a joke. As she walked forward the figure became more distinct. It was not Angel. "Spike," she said.

Spike walked out of the shadows and tossed the cigarette he was smoking to the side. "'Ello love," he said.

"Where's Angel?" Buffy reached into her basket and grabbed the stake that was tuck securely under the pie. She dropped the basket and held up the stake, as if she was warning him.

"Was he the tasty looking fellow I ate on my way here?" Spike said with a smirk.

"I'll kill you," Buffy said.

"Really? Couldn't do it on camera, what makes you think you can do it now?"

Buffy ran forward with her stake in the air. Her wrist had already healed from her first fight with Spike. Spike grabbed the wrist and twisted it. He swung Buffy around by the arm and threw her against the wall.

"Am I going to have to break your whole body now?"

Spike picked up the stake with one hand, climbed over Buffy's body and punched her with the free hand. He knelt down over her and smiled. "Ever wonder what one of these felt like?"

Buffy laughed. It was like a reverse of their original fight. "Kill me now and you won't get your fancy little show. No one will know it was you who killed the slayer."

Spike starred at her, as if he was thinking over what she was saying. Then he shrugged and raised the stake.

Buffy squeezed her eyes shut. She was in her final moments and she was terrified. Then she felt a stabbing feeling through the hand. It was the same one Spike had broken in their last fight. She opened her eyes and looked at her hand. Spike had pounded the stake straight through it.

"You think I'd actually waste your death like this?" Spike said. He stood up and laughing. "No, love, your death is going to be dramatic. The whole world will be watching." And then he left.

Buffy laid on the ground in shock for a few moment. Eventually the numbness in her hand wore off and it started pounding. She cried out in pain. But there was no one to hear her. She sat up and pulled out the stake. It hurt even more. Blood spilt out and onto her clothes. She held back tears. She was the slayer and she had to be strong.

She used her good hand to push the stake through the bottom of her shirt and make a hole. Then she ripped off the bottom of the shirt and used the strip to wrap her hand and the stop the bleeding. She was probably going to need surgery on her hand but at that point Buffy was just glad she wasn't about to die of blood loss. She got up and walked across the city to the production office. She needed to see her watcher and tell him about Spike. She needed to kill him before he decided it was finally time to kill her.

The walk to the office was painful. Her body ached and she was getting a migraine. The whole time she was paranoid that a vampire would see her in her weakened state and try to take advantage of the situation. Outside the building there was no security, which Buffy found odd. But she couldn't think straight and entered anyway. She walked inside. No one was at the reception desk. She walked down the empty hallway and into the lounge. Her mother and Giles often stayed there to chat and relax. She opened the door. The sight horrified her.

Joyce Summers sat stiffly on the couch with her head slumped back. There were two bite marks on her neck and blood dripping down it. Giles was on his stomach on the floor. Buffy slowly walked closer and rolled him over. His glasses hanged off one ear and the lens were broken. Worse, there were bite marks on his neck.

Buffy stood up. In the corner was Willow and Xander, heads also slumped over. "No," Buffy said out loud. Slowly she walked toward them. She could clear see the bite marks on Xander's neck but she had to move Willow's hair to see her. However the difference on them was that there was blood around their mouth. They were going to rise again. Buffy knew what she had to do. She had to remove their head but she didn't even want to think about that. She just wanted to run away. She turned around. But there was someone behind her.

"Angel?" she said. She and wrapped her arms around him. She was so happy to see that someone in her life wasn't dead. But then she saw who was behind Angel. Standing in the door way was Spike and two vampire ladies. Spike was snickering, with a video camera in his hand.

She pulled away from Angel. "We have to get out of here."

Angel grabbed onto her bad hand. She winced. "We're not done with you just yet," he said.

"We're?" Buffy asked. Then she realized. Her legs became weak and she fell to the ground. She couldn't believe what was happening. Somehow Spike had found out about Angel. Spike must've turned Angel before killing the rest of her friends and family.

"Remember how I said it was more fun to leave someone destroyed?" Angel said.

"Well then you're a fool. I'll kill you all!"

Angel was still holding onto Buffy. He pulled her in close. "Hence why I'm not doing that." He brought her neck near his teeth. "You're the slayer. You're too dangerous to be kept alive.

"Eh!" Spike called from across the room, "I roughed her up. Don't I get a bite?"

Buffy used the moment of distraction to hit Angel and get out of his grasp. She ran to the farther door on the other side of the room and looked for a haven away from the vampires.


A/N: Just to clarify Buffy's not really sure what's going on so her hypothesis' may not come true. Any confusion you may have from this chapter will be clarified in the next two chapters. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, though, so I can may sure that they are in fact answered in the next chapter. And as always, please review :D
