I don’t own any of the characters in this they all belong to Joss Whedon.
This is my first fanfic so I know its not going to be as good as everyone else’s. But I’ll have a go anyway. Wish me luck and please review. Tell me how I can make it better in future and which bits you like about it. I’ve noticed a few spelling/grammatical errors, I blame my stupid spell check I cant use it. I will try and make sure that everything is right
Historians note: This happens a few years after Buffy season 7. There was no end of angel and there was no apocalypse.
Chapter 13 – Burying the past
Spike had been waiting in the car for awhile now. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel whilst looking up at the house. He hoped Carlo hadn’t forgiven Buffy. He wanted to be with her.
He sighed and looked up at the glowing sun. That was the only thing that stopped him walking into the house. The special glass that was in wolfram and hart was also in the car. He loved to drive when it was sunny. He looked a bit pale, compared to everyone else, but at least he could look up and see the sun.
Spike reached into the back of the car and pulled out a big grey blanket. He would have to go inside. He covered himself with the blanket, making sure his flesh wasn’t showing. He got out the car and ran up to the house. Spike sprinted across the lawn and ran into the house. He closed the door behind him and pulled off the blanket. He looked around the hallway then saw Buffy; she was kneeling down on the ground next to Carlo.
“Buffy” he said.
Buffy didn’t reply. All spike could hear were quiet sobs.
Spike went over to her and knelt down next to her. He saw the pool of blood around Carlo’s head. “What happened?” he asked
Buffy didn’t look at spike. Her eyes were fixed on Carlo. “I killed him” she said quietly.
With spikes vampire hearing, he heard her words perfectly. He didn’t say anything, he looked down at Carlos mangled body.
Buffy turned her head to look at Spike. “I pushed him. He tried to get me out of the house so I pushed him” she said. Her tear flooded eyes dropped back to Carlo’s body.
Spike thought for a moment. “Buffy” he said, “We have to get you away from here. And we need to do something with the body”. He wasn’t going to let Buffy go to jail. She was a good person. It was an accident. He saw how distressed she was.
“I can’t go” Buffy said quietly. “I killed him……”
“No” spike said. “Buffy you cant. The cops will soon find out he’s missing and you will be suspect number one. Your not going to prison, I wont let you.”
“Let them find me. I did it. I shouldn’t just walk away” Buffy said looking back at spike.
Spike took Buffys arm and pulled her up standing. Her body was life less. He turned her to look at him. “I’ll fix it ok” he said.
“How can you?” she asked. “I killed him it can never be ok”
Spike looked down at Carlo’s body. They needed to dispose of the body. Carlo was quite a big guy and wouldn’t be moved easily. Another problem was that it was daylight.
“Buffy” spike said.
Buffy didn’t look at him. Maybe she didn’t hear him.
“Buffy” spike repeated.
Buffy turned her head to look at spike again. “Emmm yeah” she said dazed.
“Is there a basement?” spike asked. He knew what he had to do.
“Yeah” Buffy said, “why?”
“We need to sort this out pet” spike said. He went over to Carlo and picked the body up. “Show me”
Buffy slowly walked into the kitchen and opened a door which led down to the basement. She walked down the steps slowly and spike followed, carrying Carlo in his arms.
As they reached the bottom of the stairs, spike looked around. This would do perfect. The ground beneath his feet was soft; it would make a perfect grave.
Spike strode over to a work bench to look for a spade or something to dig with.
Buffy was leaning against the cold stone wall with her eyes fixed on Carlo.
Spike found a spade and went over to the middle of the room. He started to dig hole in the ground.
……………………………………………..
About half an hour later, the hole was big enough to fit Carlo in. Spike walked over to Carlo and pulled him into the hole.
Buffy winced as she heard the thud of Carlo hitting the bottom of the hole.
Spike started to cover over Carlo with the dirt.
Buffy watched spike closely. What had she done?
Spike threw the spade across the room and looked at Buffy. He walked over to her and touched her arm. She winced away. Her eyes were now fixed on Carlo’s grave.
“Buffy come on” Spike said. She held her hand and walked her up the stairs.
When they got to the kitchen Buffy sat down on a stool. “What am I going to do?” she asked.
Spike looked at her. She was so upset; he couldn’t bear to see her like this. It was just like when she thought she had killed Katrina, but it was just a trick that Warren and the other members of the trio had put on Buffy.
“I don’t know what your going to do pet. But I don’t think you should stay here” spike said. “The house will mess with your head. And I am speaking from personal experience.”
“Yeah I guess” Buffy said quietly, “can I come back to Wolfram and Hart with you?” she said.
“Course you can pet” spike said softly. “Go get your stuff”
Buffy walked quietly upstairs and soon returned with a suitcase full of clothes that would last her for the next couple of days.
Spike was waiting in the hallway for her. “Come on then luv” he said. he took the suitcase out of Buffys hand.
Buffy picked up her handbag and the car keys. “I’m …. I’m gonna take my new car” she said.
Spike looked at her. “I don’t think your in a state to drive pet” he said.
“Don’t tell me what to do” Buffy snapped. She walked out the front door. By now the sun had set, the sky was filled with pinks and oranges. Clouds swirled across the sky like candy floss as the orange ball of flames sunk down below view.
Spike watched her walk out the door hen followed closely behind her.
“I’ll see you at wolfram and hart” she told him as she got into her new red sports car that Carlo had got her.
Spike walked back to his car and put Buffys bag in the trunk. He watched her as she screeched out from the driveway and down the road. He got into his car and drove back to wolfram and hart, hoping that Buffy would be ok.
