You Have Potential

A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan Fiction Story

Chapter 10:

This time I had a crazy connection with Spikes memories, and this time it jumped around and I felt like I was drowning in it. It took a lot out of me. After Spike picked me up and brought me back on, I lay un conscious on the bed. Spike drove the rest of the way to Angel Investigations. We pulled up out side of an old building complex.

" Were here" Spike looked to Mike. He opened the door to the RV bedroom, Spike and Andrew walked in and Spike looked down at me. " I wish you would wake up" Soon my eyes flittered open and I looked around to find everyone staring at me.

" What happened? And what is everyone looking at?" I sat up.

" You passed out!" Andrew said. I looked over at Spike.

" You connected to my memories again, and it took so much out of you , you were out for a few hours."

" More like 10 hours" Andrew said under his breath.

" Did we make it here?" I got up and walked toward the front.

" Were here" Spike said.

" Good lets go, I'm anxious to meet the other vampire with a soul" Spike sighed and then ran after me, while everyone else just followed behind.

I walked into the building and came into an office looking place, and a young woman wearing a light blue dress, and light blue pearls, with long dark hair came over to us.

" Spike!" she stopped in stared in disbelief, then turned to me. " You must be Alexis, we didn't call you back ,because Angel instructed me not to until he spoke with you." I nodded. " wait right here and I will let him know you are here." I took a breath in, and Spike put his hand on my shoulder.

" It will be alright love, relax." he whispered to me. " He isn't Angelus any more." I looked at him and smiled. I really shouldn't be this nervous to meet him. Before Cordelia came back out a gentleman with glasses and short brown hair, in a gray business suit came from another room.

" You must be the potential slayer, Alexis" He was English. I took his hand and shook it. " I am Wesley Windham Price . I used to be Buffy's Watcher for a short period." Spike rolled his eyes.

" I know about you, I have done research when I found out who I was." He smirked and looked around the room feeling proud.

" Don't get a big head about it watcher boy, she knows her stuff" I blushed and suddenly felt like a geek.

" I'm sorry Alexis it must be a real tragedy being connected to William the Bloody" Spike and I both looked up at him. Before Spike or I could react Cordelia came back out to say Angel wants us to go back.

" That's not who he is any more" I looked him dead in the eye before I followed Cordelia to the back room where Angel was waiting for us. He actually looked terrified of me, and Spike just stared at me with wonder at me sticking up for him.

We walked into a dimly lit white room with a black carpet. There was a desk in one corner, and on the other a couch and chairs. Where we stood now was just a lot of space. Then I saw him. He came out of the shadows. He was a tall brooding man with short spiked brown hair, He wore a black beater, with a black button up shirt over it that was un buttoned, and black pants.

" Alexis it is a pleasure to finally meet you." I smiled and nodded. " I need to speak to Alexis and Spike alone" As soon as he said that I felt a pit in my stomach, and Cordelia escorted every one out of the room. I watched them leave then turned back to Angel.

" Angel do you know about the amulet that you gave Buffy all those years ago? I don't know how much you know of what is going on, but It is important what ever hold is on us is removed." Angel looked from both Spike and myself over and over again. It was very unnerving.

" I do know of your situation, and what the amulet does, but no I did not know any of it when I gave it to Buffy. I had every intention of wearing it myself, but she didn't want me in that fight. So after that I figured she would give it to you." He looked a Spike when he said that. " We all really did think that you had died, until Cordelia said that she had talked to you. I was able to track down everything that I could. This amulet is to be worn by a champion with a soul that is more than human. It sounded much like Spike and Myself. However I did not know that it used the champions soul energy to destroy the purest of all evil. That is why you were able to defeat The First evil. When the battle is over it conceals you in the amulet until.. And now here's the part that throws me." He put his hands over his chest looking directly at me. " The champion can only be released by said Champions true love." My eyes got wide, and I blushed.

" I think I have the answer to that. During that battle to defeat the First evil Buffy thought it was great idea to give all of us potentials with all of her power and strength as well. It was supposed to be borrowed power, but mine never really went away. I still have full slayer strength and power, and Buffy is still very much alive. I know that she is alive because I have her power, and I can sort of feel her energy. It's like we are connected." Angel raised and eyebrow at me. " I have felt Spikes love for Buffy ,and it is so strong that quite possible a potential slayer with her power opened the amulet releasing Spike" Angel took in everything I had said. Then gave Spike a glare, I think because I admitted how he felt about the woman he loved.

" That is possible" He said looking back at me. " Then Your connections with him, having to control each other with a simple wish. That actually has nothing to do with the amulet." I looked disappointed. " But I promise we are looking into it.

" What about me being able to relive Spike's memories and feel what he felt?" Angel smirked and turned around for a moment.

" That my dear is your own ability coming very much to life."

" What do you mean?" I stared at him hard.

" I believe from what Cordelia has told me you are on your way to becoming a very powerful seer. Except right now all you can see the past. I think the only reason you can see Spikes is because of your connection."

" But what sets it off?"

" Energy, usually intense energy" This was defiantly helping. Except I was still connected to Spike. I started to walk toward the door, but I was stopped. " Oh Alexis don't go far." I nodded and walked out the door to go find Mike and Andrew.

Angel turned back to Spike who looked just as confused as I was.

" Now you have some explaining to do ,before I do anything more to help you."

" Oh yea ,and what would that be about then?" he waiting for Angel to explain.

" The one who you love?" Spike rolled his eyes.

" Look man, yea I love Buffy. She'll never love me like she loves you, so don't go getting all Jealous. I did want to find her again so that I can see it can be more, but knowing her I doubt it would work, but cant blame a bugger for trying" Angel just shook his head. " Oh what that doesn't work for you?"

" It's not about Buffy. Though that is laughable. Captain peroxide and Buffy the Vampire slayer together." Angel Laughed.

" Sod off! Wait.. What do you mean its not about Buffy, then who are we talking about?"

" Alexis" He smirked.

" What about her"

" I can smell you all over her." He shook his head.

" Ya know I ought to get you a nice candle to sniff, and stop sniffing others."

" Shut up! Spike She loves you, and I think you love her too." His mouth dropped open.

" It's because of that stupid connection, or what ever it is, she told me its not real."

" And you believe her?" He raised his eyebrows.
