Chapter 2
�� Buffy
hadn't been in her dorm room more than two seconds when Willow walked in fresh
from her shower.
"Hey, you just getting in?"
"No!" Buffy answered a little too
quickly. "Why would you think that?"
"You're wearing the same clothes you
had on last night." Willow grinned. "And I saw you leave with Parker.
So spill! How was it?"
"It was nice" if nice meant totally unsatisfying.
Buffy forced a smile onto her face."He's going to call."
"Oh! I love this part? When it's all
new and everything is a discovery."
"Yeah its nice." Buffy desperately
wanted to believe that her night with Parker was the start of a new
relationship. However he was a poor substitute for dreamSpike. Deep down part of her know that she had, had sex with Parker because he made her feel desired and because Spike was with
Harmony.
��
�� Buffy's
eyes bulged as she remembered that he was back in town. "Oh My God Wills! Spike�s back in town!"
"Spike!" Willow squeaked� "Bottle in the face Spike?"
�� Buffy
quirked her eyebrow. "Do you know another bleached blond vampire that�s a
pain in my ass? Anyway he's after this Amarra
thingy."
"What did Giles say?"
"Actually I haven't told him yet.
Parker�"
"Right, well
I was planning to pop by his place sometime today to check on him anyway. I've
been worried about him now that he doesn't have a job. I think he's lonely."�
" That sounds great, just let me
shower and change and I'll be ready to go."
***
�� Spike
sauntered out into the daylight for the first time in over a hundred and twenty
years. A small smile lifted the corners of his mouth as the sun's rays warmed
his skin. It was a strange sensation being out in the day, his instincts were
yelling at him to take cover and escape the deadly light. Even though his mind
knew he had no need to fear a bloody, painful flaming dusting. Raising his
hand, Spike gazed at the Gem of Amarra that now sat
on his index finger. It amazed him how this one small stone could make him invincible.
�� He
frowned slightly as he realized just how dangerous, not to mention
stupid, it would be to leave the ring on his hand, where anyone could snatch it off his finger. Spotting a shaded alley he quickly walked to the darkest corner and pulled a wicked
looking hunting knife from his boot. He slipped the ring off and pulled up his
black t-shirt, placing the hem between his teeth. Clenching his jaw against the
pain, Spike cut into his abdomen just above his navel and carefully placed the gem
deep into the incision, nestling it amongst his organs. It healed as soon as he
removed his hand from the wound.
�� Spike
exhaled the breath that he had been holding in relief that his solution had
worked. After straightening his clothing and cleaning the blood off his hands, he
strolled out of the alley and back into the
light of day. He was enjoying the sunny Californian day. He was confident that
with the ring he would finally be able to bag his third slayer. He
hoped that when he killed the infuriating bint the
bloody dreams and change in diet would end and he could return to his dark
princess. But first, Spike wanted to enjoy
the day, maybe find out if he freckled.
***
�� Buffy
desperately needed to kill something. It had been two days. Parker still hadn't
called her and she hadn't seen hide nor bleached hair of Spike. She wasn't sure
which one she was more disappointed about. On top of all that Giles had laughed
when she told him that Spike was looking for the gem saying that it was a myth
and did not exist.
�� She
wanted to trust his opinion but she knew that if the gem
existed Spike would find it. She needed to have a plan in place just in case he got the gem before she could stake him. Buffy growled,
pushing away the strange feelings that the thought of staking
Spike created and continued stomping around Shady Rest Cemetery.
"Here demon, demon, there's a nice
tasty girl just walking alone out here! God what does it take!" She yelled
as she took out her frustration on a large rock kicking it with all her slayer
strength.
"Ow! " a voice shrieked in pain. Buffy looked around looking for
whoever she hit with the rock she kicked. She noticed a path of� broken tombstones and patches of upturned
grass that led to a crying, blond, heap on the ground, a good 30 yards from
her.
"Shit! Hey are you okay?" she
yelled as she jogged to the hurt girl.
"Owie!"
the lump sobbed "Why do you have to be so mean? When my Blondie Bear
fin-"
�� Buffy
growled when she recognized Harmony. Her anger turned to rage at the sight of
the blond vampiress. She lunged at the injured girl,
her mind screaming He is MINE, MINE!
She grabbed Harmony around her throat, lifting her more than two feet off the
ground.
�� Harmony's
eyes grew big as she looked into the face of the slayer. "Holy Shit Buffy!
Why do you
have fangs?"
"I do not have fangs!"
"Yes, you do"
"No, I don't"
"Yes, You do"
"No, I don't!"
"Fine, don't believe me but
feel for yourself."
�� Buffy
rolled her eyes and brought her free hand to face. She gasped when she felt a
sharp pain in her finger as a fang pierced its tip and the coppery taste of
blood hit her tongue.
"And your eyes are all glowie!" Harmony wheezed, barely able to get
the words past the hand clamped around her throat. Buffy abruptly dropped the vampiress as she panicked and ran from the graveyard.
Everything was a blur as she rushed through the streets of Sunnydale with no
care who witnessed her display of� slayer
speed.
�� Finally
she slowed to a walk, gulping down air as she tried to catch her breath. She inhaled deep
trying to calm herself enough to think. Looking around� she knew exactly where
she was, a park about a block from Giles' apartment. Giles! He would know what
was going on with her and if he didn't he had the books to figure it out. With a relieved sigh Buffy walked to his flat and
knocked on his door. It took a while but eventually, after much loud banging on
his door Giles appeared. He was in a robe and his hair was mussed from sleep.
"Buffy dear,
what are you doing here at this time of night? You should have been in bed
hours ago."
"Hey Giles" Buffy said forcing
herself to sound peppy as she entered her watchers abode. "Can you make us
some tea?"
She asked stalling for time.
"Certainly."
He nodded knowing something must indeed be wrong if she was asking for tea. Within minutes she had a steaming cup in her hand.
"Is everything all right?"
"No Giles it's not" she said in a
small voice.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
The silence stretched as Buffy tried to organize her thoughts enough to tell
her watcher what happened.
�� Giles
jumped when she finally spoke. "I was out patrolling and I decided to go
to Shady Rest looking for something to slay. I found Harmony there." She
fell quiet again as she tried to find the right words. "I don't know
exactly what happened but when I recognized her I saw red! One moment I was a
few yards away from her and the next I had her by the throat and a couple of
feet off the ground. Giles I had fangs!" a lone tear rolled down her
check.
"Good Lord!"
"I didn�t believe her at first then I
felt them for myself." with an unsteady arm Buffy raised her hand to show
Giles where she had pricked her finger.
"Buffy are you certain?"
She began to shake uncontrollably."Giles
what's going on?" tears began to run silently down her face.
�� Without
hesitation he got up and searched his medicine cabinet for the sleeping pills
he rarely used and filled a glass with water.
"I don�t know but we will figure it
out I promise, now take this and I'll call everyone to help me research. It's
going to be okay." Buffy could feel her eyelids growing heavy as the medicine
worked its way into her system. Soon she was enveloped by the soothing blanket
of sleep.�
***
�� Spike
hissed as he gingerly rubbed aloe vera into his
sunburned skin. He had enjoyed his spontaneous, day long trip to the
beach. �He had forgotten how
beautiful the water could be in the daylight. Unfortunately, he had also forgotten the effect the UV rays had on his skin
when he was human and it appeared that the gem, for reasons beyond him, would
not heal his lobster red skin.
�� He
was glad that he had dusted his minions before he had gone out that morning. It
would have been the end of him if they caught him this red. �
"Blondie Bear you'll never guess what
happened to me tonight." Harmony screeched as she entered the lair.
"I don't give a shit about what
happened to you, you bint." Spike growled.
"Hey where
is everyone?"
"Their
dust in the bloody wind." Slowly he slipped a stake from his back pocket
and plunged it into her heart.
"I knew you loved that gem more than
me!" She said as she crumbled to dust.
"I love syphilis more than you!"
He yawned and made his way towards his bed. He cautiously laid down thankful
for the softness of his silk sheets against his tender skin and quickly fell
asleep.
