Spike: A time of gathering: Trapped
by redscarlet217
Spike was in Sunnydale, in an unfamiliar house holding Buffy as she cried. He never wanted to leave that moment. She was there, actually there with him. She held his arm for strength and he, for the first time, wanted nothing else. He didn’t need to kiss her or make love to her. He just had to be there. He loved that moment for what it was.

Spike groaned as his conscience mind pulled him out of his last true moment and back to the present. He struggled to open his eyes and looked around his prison. They were in a small bare room with stained gray walls. Lisa was to his right. She wasn’t conscious but he could tell she was alive. Andrew was huddled in a corner, his knees pulled up hiding his face.

“Andrew?” Spike asked gaining more stability every second.

Andrew looked over at him, tears in his eyes. “Oh, thank god, Spike. You okay?”

Spike nodded and crawled over to Lisa.

“She won’t wake up, I tried.”

Spike lifted her head and shook her a bit. “Lisa, wake up.”

She groaned and whispered something about five more minutes.

“Come on, pet. You need to wake up so we can get the hell out of here.” Spike said softly.

Lisa shook her head back and forth a few times before opening her eyes. She jumped up and stood in an attack position as she looked around. “What happened?”

“Vampires. They came from behind us. They must have seen us drive up.” Andrew said standing.

Spike also stood. “We were set up.”

“What?” Lisa asked relaxing a little.

“It was that guy, Cain. He shot me with a tranq .” Spike said looking around for a way out. He walked over to the only possible exit, a door, and tried to open it. It was made of thick steel and wouldn’t budge.

“So, he led us straight here? I knew he was way too friendly.” Lisa said.

“Is he a vampire or, like, a demon in disguise?” Andrew asked.

“Neither, I don’t think. He smelled completely human.” Spike said still looking over the door.

“A human working with the evil bad guys dealing with the occult? Come on.” Lisa said with a roll of the eyes.

Andrew fidgeted a little. “It could happen.”

“Not mentioning the past,” Spike glanced over at Andrew, “It does seem sort of strange.”

“The sword!” Lisa yelled. “Do you still have it?”

Spike shook his head “no.” He had already checked when he came to.

“Well, that sucks. Now he’s going to open a freaky gate to hell and I bet you we’re the sacrifices.” Lisa sighed defeated.

“Lesson number three.” Spike said as he ran his hands over the sides of the door. He found a little lever that he pushed up. There was a loud click as the door unlocked. “Never give up.” He pulled the door open and glanced around for anyone. “Clear.”

“That seemed a little too easy.” Lisa said following Spike out.

“I guess we weren’t that important. I mean no guards?” Andrew whispered.

“Now that would be stupid.”

The three turned to look at Cain who stood in front of a group of blood hungry vampires, ready to pounce.
