Chapter 11
Spike grabbed his jacket and was about to head out the door, when Angel stopped him.
“You can’t just go there by yourself. He left the address because he wants you to go after her. It’s obviously a trap, Spike.”
He just shook his head. “I don’t care; I have to get to her. He said I had to come alone. Look, I’ll be fine. I’ll call you guys if I need you. Stay close, but not close enough that he would see you.”
Angel nodded and figured there was no use getting through to him right now.
Spike snatched the note with the address on it and made his way over to the front door.
“Be careful, man.”
Spike glanced at Riley and nodded, then left the apartment.

Buffy let out another scream when the blade cut into her arm. She couldn’t stop the flow of tears that were streaming down her face.
Adam only laughed sadistically.
Buffy knew that she had only been there for a few hours, but it felt like an eternity. “Please, stop,” she pleaded and that only made him laugh harder.
“No, sweetheart. Begging comes later.” He continued to trace the knife down her arm.
Buffy didn’t know if she could take anymore.
The door suddenly crashed open and Spike bounded in. He had pure rage on his face when he saw Hamilton. He ran over to the crazed man and grabbed him by the shirt, throwing him away from Buffy. “Get the hell away from her!”
Adam gave him an evil smile. “Now the fun begins.” He raised his leg and kicked Spike in the abdomen, causing him to crash into the wall. He used that to his advantage and went to grab Buffy, already having removed the chains a little while ago.
She screamed as he roughly pulled her off of the bed and held her in front of him, with the knife at her neck.
Spike stood up and glared daggers at him.
Buffy whimpered when she felt the blade leave a small cut on her throat.
“Don’t come any closer or your girlfriend gets it.”
Spike stopped because he didn’t know what else to do. “Just let her go and deal with me. She never did anything to you.”
Adam turned cold eyes on him. “She’s paying for what her father did. My brother was all I had, until that bastard put him away. You work for him, so you should suffer just as much. I won’t be alone anymore.” He pushed the knife harder into Buffy’s neck.
She screamed at the pain.
Spike was terrified when he saw the look on her face. His girl was scared and he hated it.
“She’s a hot little thing. I can see why you like her. I suppose you would want someone that doesn’t remind you of Drusilla. This girl is as different as they come, isn’t she?”
Spike wondered how he knew about Drusilla. He looked hard at Hamilton’s face and it soon became clear to him. He only saw the man’s eyes that murdered Drusilla, but he would know those eyes anywhere. They used to haunt him every night. “It was you. You’re the one that killed her.”
A big smile lit up his face. “Got it in one. You had to be the hero and fight me. Couldn’t just let me take what I wanted and your poor girlfriend had to pay the price. Looks like history is repeating itself. Maybe you should be better off alone. See how it feels,” he spat venomously.
Spike was finally face to face with the bastard that took Drusilla away from him. He would be damned if he was going to let the same thing happen to Buffy. He didn’t want to make any sudden movements, fear of what Hamilton would do to her if he did. He looked into her frightened eyes and noticed that her expression seemed to change. He suddenly knew what she was going to do and couldn’t do anything to stop her.
Buffy then stomped hard on Adam’s foot and elbowed him in the stomach.
He yelled and dropped the knife, which caused him to let her go.
Spike used that to his advantage and ran toward Adam, punching him hard in the face.
He fell to the floor.
Spike then grabbed Buffy and held her close to his chest. He felt her tears soak his shirt and ran his hands down her back.
“God, I was so afraid,” she said with a tremble.
Spike only held her closer. “I’ve got you now, love. It’s going to be okay,” he whispered and kissed the top of her head. He then grabbed his cell phone to call Angel, so they could come and take Hamilton away. He would be joining his brother after all. He was still holding her after he made the call, when he suddenly saw Hamilton move and reach into his pocket.
No one noticed the gun, until he pulled the weapon out and aimed it at Buffy.
Spike panicked and pushed her away, just as Hamilton pulled the trigger.
The bullet landed in Spike’s side and he cried out, clutching his stomach. He then kicked the gun away from Hamilton and landed a kick in the man’s face. Hamilton was now unconscious and the pain was too much for Spike that he fell to the floor as well.
Buffy got up from her position on the ground and moved over to him. She had more tears coming down her face now. “Spike, stay with me. You’ll be okay, just like you told me. You have to be okay.” She tried to stop the bleeding, but it was too much. “Please, don’t leave me,” she whispered and rested her head against his chest.
Angel and Riley then barged into the apartment a few seconds later. They were followed by two other men.
Angel yelled to the men to take Hamilton out of there as he ran to Spike.
Buffy looked up at him. “He was shot,” she said. “He was trying to protect me.”
Angel nodded and helped Spike up.
Riley went to his other side and helped Angel carry him. “We need to get him to the hospital.”
They helped him into the back of the police car.
Buffy followed after them. “I’m going with him.”
Angel sighed and let her into the car after Spike. He closed the door and then got in on the driver’s side, while Riley got in on the other side.
He started the car and took off for the hospital.
