Pairings- Buffy/Spike
Mistrust
" You know Buffy none of this would have happened if you'd stayed away from Spike."
Spike just closed his eyes and shook his head. Xander was the worst of the lot, absolutely refused to trust him.
" Look Xander, Spike gave up his life to close the Hellmouth. He saved the world, literally the world. So your right Xander if I had stayed away none of this would have happened. We'd all be dead."
Xander looked at Spike with severe distrust.
" I don't trust him Buffy, he's a Vampire. He's hiding something from us."
Spike rose an eyebrow and everyone including Buffy suddenly were surveying him.
Willow moved towards him and lifted her hands into the air placing them either side of Spike's head. She closed her eyes and concentrated.
A white light between Willow's hands and Spike's head appeared in the room. Willow opened her eyes.
" Something you want to tell us Spike ?"
Willow asked pointedly.
Spike took a deep breath and braced himself.
" Yes, alright there is, there's something I need to tell you."
Buffy felt her throat tighten and she suddenly felt angry,
Spike saw the anger building in Buffy's eyes and decided to dive into the deep end.
" Ever since I've - come back, I've been able to have this connection."
" What kind of connection"
Buffy demanded.
" A telepathic connection, I haven't really used it with anyone, but I made a connection with Dawn. We've been communicating once and a while since I returned.
When she was taken I had a dream, a dream she was kissing this Vampire and then he put a dart in her neck. I thought it was a dream until I entered her mind and saw she had left a message for me. She asked for help."
Willow winked at him.
Nicely done, don't look so surprised ! Your not the only one who can be telepathic
You've come far Red
So have you Spike, I've got your back
Spike turned to look at Willow and he smiled revealing slightly pointed canine teeth.
" Thanks Red."
Xander looked from Willow to Spike and coughed drawing the attention to himself.
" Now we all know Spike's cute little trick, maybe everyone will want to-
Now Xander, any one would think you were jealous ?
" Get out my head Spike !"
Technically I'm not in your head, I'm just connecting with you.
" Well then stop connecting !"
Buffy swung her weapons box lid open and it slammed open, everyone turned to her. She looked determined and she grasped a stake and gripped it tightly.
" Dawn's in trouble, she needs us. We have no idea what's she's going through. We've got a Vampire to stake and no Xander it's not Spike."
With that the gang headed for Drusila's mansion.
Hey coming towards the end now !
