Spike watched from the shadows as the woman he loved, kissed the person he hated. He decided he couldn’t take it and left. “Oh no,” the first said, smiling.
As soon as Spike left the tomb, there were 4 uber vamps. “Fuck,” he muttered, to himself.
In the tomb, Buffy was fighting Caleb again. She finally sliced him in ½ but had a feeling she wasn’t along in the tomb with Angel.
Angel came over to her. “At least we did something right,” he said. He gave her the amulet and folder and explained what they were for.
Then the first as Buffy appeared.
The real Buffy growled. “What do you want?” She spat.
“To let you know your vampire is running of time.” ‘Buffy’ grinned.
“My vampire?” Buffy asked confused before her eyes widened. She looked at Angel before running out of the tomb.
Just outside, Spike was unconscious, but the vamps were letting up on him.
“Spike!” Buffy yelled, running to him killing anything that got in her way.
Angel came out of the tomb with the first close behind. “My god, what happened to him?” Angel asked, going over to them.
“I told you he was running out of time. Don’t worry the pain he’s in now, isn’t as bad as the pain you caused when you locked lips with him,” the first said, laughing.
“No,” Buffy whispered. “Angel, we gotta get him home.”
Angel helped Buffy get Spike to his feet. He easily lifted Spike into his arms and they started towards Buffy’s house. Buffy led them upstairs, and
Angel gently laid Spike in her bed, now that Faith was better. She ran for medical supplies and Dawn came in.
“What happened?” Dawn asked, seeing Spike’s broken body for the 2nd time this year.
“Those uber vamps got him,” Buffy said. “I don’t think its too bad cuz I got there in time.”
“I’ll be back,” Dawn said, as Buffy cleaned him up.
Buffy took off his duster and shirt and wiped the blood from his face. He would have bruises in the morning but there was nothing she could do about that now.
She changed her clothes and climbed in next to him. Careful not to hurt him she snuggled up against him and slept.
Dawn came in minutes later, and she had also changed her clothes. She climbed in on the other side of Spike and fell asleep as well.
When Spike woke the next morning, his first thought was ‘Ow’. He groaned as his stiff muscles acted up.
Both Buffy and Dawn stirred and began fussing over him.
“How are you feeling?” Dawn asked.
“Like I got hit my a truck. Twice,” Spike said, looking at Buffy.
“I’m gunna go get you something to eat,” Dawn said, going downstairs.
Spike sat up with less pain then he thought. Buffy moved over and hugged him extremely tight. “Easy, Buffy,” he said, stroking her back.
“I’m sorry,” Buffy said, loosening. She moved a little so she could curl in his lap.
“You know, I’m tired of weird mixed signals too,” Spike said, softly.
Buffy sighed and moved away from him. “Spike, I know you’re mad at me, but it didn’t mean anything. It was a hello. You should know be better then anyone and that I have problems with my feelings. The second I say ‘I love you’, you’ll leave me. I’m never gunna be ready for that.”
Spike reached his hand out to touch hers. “What about Angel?” He asked.
“He’s downstairs. He gave me a bunch of stuff,” she said, pulling the amulet out of her end table draw.
“That’s the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen,” he said.
“That’s too bad, because you have to wear it,” she said, smiling at him.
“Why?” Spike asked.
“Angel said it was for someone who ensouled. A champion. I think Angel wants to wear it but you’re more of a champion to me,” she said, moving back over to him.
Spike smiled but took the amulet. “That’s good to know,” he said, settling back into the bed.
Buffy smiled and kissed his chest. “You should get some sleep. You took a pretty hard beating, but I’ll be here,” she said.
Spike smiled. “I like having you here,” he said.
Buffy lifted her head to give him a soft kiss. “No more talk,” she said.
Spike pulled her closer to him but did keep quiet. This is where they belonged.
