DISCLAIMER: Buffy belongs

SUMMARY: Can the gang find Buffy before either Spike gets her or it’s too late?
“I still can’t believe
you did that Dru? Spike growled.
He had never been more
pissed off at her than at this minute. She had walked in with Buffy an hour ago
with promises of her mother being here and when she couldn’t find her the
little girl had turned hysterical.
Surprisingly she wouldn’t
go near any of them and the only way to keep her quiet was for to stick her in
front of the TV. She had found some cartoons to watch and was half way through a
bag of candy.
“But William see the big
picture” Dru flung her arms out. “No more Slayer”
“Apart from the bint that
was called when you gave Kendra time out you mean” he shook his head.
“I swear sometimes you
just do this to piss me off Dru” he started pacing the floor and flung himself
down next to Buffy on the couch.
“Are you called Spike?”
He turned to see Buffy
staring at him. He nodded.
“That’s a funny name”
she laughed and snorted at the same time.
He couldn’t help but
smile “And Buffy’s normal”
“Not Buffy Elizabeth Anne
Summers” said then nodded as if to enthasize it.
“Well I’m so sorry
milady” he mock bowed.
She turned back to watch
the TV and he took the opportunity to have a good look at her. So she hadn’t
been lying when she said she was a natural blonde.
She was the cutest little
thing he had ever seen. She reminded him of his little sister. He shut his eyes
and the pain happened again when he thought of her
She had just turned ten
when Dru sired him, and as a present Angelus drained the girl and left her in
Spike’s bed for him.
He was brought out his
flashback when he heard a familiar voice and turned to see exactly what Buffy
was watching.
Grabbing the remote he
changed the channel. She turned and asked for an explanation
“Seen it” he shrugged
She nodded then turned back
He was going to wait until
Dru was asleep then take her home to Giles and the others. They must have been
fretting about her right now.

“That was Giles” Trish
shut the phone “Angel left about an hour ago saying something was wrong with
Buffy”
“Got that right” Raven
gritted through his teeth and his knuckles going white as he was holding onto
the wheel so tight.
“Got something to say
Birdman” Faith snarled “Say it to me”
“Fine if anything happens
to the girl it’s all your fault” he growled saying nothing more.
“How do you get its
Faith’s fault?” Xander tried to stick up for his girlfriend.
“Sorry got to agree with
Raven here” Trish jumped in “You shouldn’t have told her Faith. You know
what Buffy’s like”
They stopped off at
Chicago’s version of Willie’s and all piled inside.
“Looking for some
information” Faith walked in front.
“Little girl went missing
a while ago and we need to find her”
She heard sniggering coming
from the corner and went to move but Raven was there before her
He grabbed the demon by the
throat and rammed him into the wall.
“Where is she?”
“Like I’d tell you”
he glared at him “Human”
“Or maybe you could tell
me” a snarl came from the door
“Angelus” someone
murmured
“So much as a hair is
harmed on that girl’s head and I swear you will wish I killed you all”
“Who has her?” Faith
looked around the bar
“I know” a vampire
stood up
“Shut up” another
hissed
“Why should I. He’s
done nothing to help me”. He turned to Angel “Spike has her Master.
They’re in the flat across the street”
He nodded at Xander who
whipped the stake out so fast that the vampire had no chance.
Raven took this opportunity
to snap the demon’s neck and left him lying there
“Looks as if I’m gonna
pay my relative’s a visit” Angel snarled.

Buffy was getting nervous.
She didn’t trust either Spike or this weird lady but at least Spike didn’t
try to hurt her.
This woman or Dru as he
called her was another story. She had Buffy against the wall with her feet
dangling.
“Maybe we should talk
about you stealing my daddy away” she smiled as she smoothed her hair.
“Only because your daddy
and mummy is dead”
“Not true” Buffy shook
her head as the tears came again. “They wouldn’t leave me. They said they
loved me”
“They didn’t love you
Buffy. Nobody does. The others that were looking after you are only doing it
because it’s funny watching you upset all the time”
Buffy flung her hand out
and scratched Dru’s cheek and after seeing the look in her eye, she realized
it had been a huge mistake.
“Spike won’t let you
hurt me” she choked squirming further away from her
“He won’t stop me.
I’m his princess” Dru grinned as she bent over Buffy’s throat.
She looked up to how her
face and Buffy screamed. But it didn’t matter Dru still moved down and bit
into her neck. Slayer or not she still had the blood and it was intoxicating
her.
“What do you think you
are doing?” Spike threw her away and grabbed Buffy. “You stupid bitch” he
growled. “She’s just a child” he rushed over to the sink to grab a towel.
By now Buffy was hysterical
and wouldn’t stop screaming
“Will you shut the fuck
up” Spike growled and back handed her. It was only supposed to be a tap but he
had forgot this wasn’t normal Buffy he was dealing with and the force of it
flung her across the couch.
“Buffy….” He tried to
get over to her but was stopped by an arm before he was flung to the other side
of the room
“Wanna try it with
someone your own size” Faith snarled.
The group had come in just
to see Spike slap her.
Angel rushed over to where
Buffy was lying. He took his coat off and wrapped it round her
“Hey Buffy it’s
Angel” he said as he rocked her. The screams stopped and all that was heard
was sobs “Angel?”
She looked up and saw him
“Angel” she yelled and threw herself into his arms
“It’s okay I got you.
I’ll never let him hurt you again baby I promise”
“What?” Trish mouthed
“I’ll explain later”
he answered.
“Not if your dust” Dru
grinned with her ridges out and her fangs showing.
“Angel’s are better”
Buffy hiccuped “Show her” she urged.
He handed her to Raven
“Don’t let her get hurt” he warned the other man before storming over to
his Childe.
“He’s my hero” Buffy
whispered into Raven’s ear.
Spike took that chance to
flung Faith off him and ran out the door and when everyone’s attention was on
that Dru escaped.
“S’ok” Faith shrugged
“Just means that Buffy get’s to stake their sorry asses when she gets
back”
“Ok let’s get her
back” Angel said. “Giles gave me a copy of the spell.

They got her back to the
house and while Faith took her upstairs to get ready Xander, Trish and Raven
took the chance to grill Angel.
“How does she still know
you but not us?” Xander handed him a mug of blood.
“I found out she was
going to be a Slayer a long time ago” Angel answered “And I used to slip
into her room at night and watch her, then one night she caught me”
“That was you?” Trish
laughed “Joyce said she kept insisting a Angel was in her room every night but
she just thought it was Buffy being Buffy”
“So that explains why you
were friends when she appeared in Sunnydale then?” Xander nodded just as Buffy
and Faith came down the stairs.
“Okay put her in the
circle” Angel said after everything was ready.
He got the spell out of his
pocket and started reciting it:
Powers that be, here my
plea,
Help me your faithful
servant,
What’s in front of you
must cease to be,
So in everyone’s eyes we
all will see,
This child of the light,
With all the strength and
might,
Goes around walking so
small,
Take this,
The light flashed once
again and in place of a young Buffy was teenage Buffy.
“What the…” she
looked around then her eyes settled on Angel
“what’s wrong?” she
went straight into Slayer mode
He grinned “I think you
need to sit down Buf we need to tell you something”

“Yes Giles I’m fine”
Buffy smiled into the phone “Okay I’ll see you tomorrow, take care” she
put the phone down and walked back into the living room.
She noticed five pairs of
eyes on her “I’m fine honest. In fact I think I’m gonna go patrol” she
went for her jacket. “I’m going to find that son of a bitch vampire and his
ho and send them on their dusty way”
“Ahh it’s good to have
you back B” Faith grinned standing up.
“You going back tonight
or staying ?” Buffy asked Angel
“Going back” he nodded
“But I’ll wait until your back from patrol”
Buffy smiled and made her
way out the door.
“And so it begins”
Raven sighed and walked towards the door
Trish and Angel glanced at
each other “It’s not her fault Raven she doesn’t know what she done”
Trish tried to lighten things.
The front door opened and
Buffy walked over to Raven
“I forgot to say
thanks” she smiled and gave him a hug “And you do suit the glasses” she
kissed him before running back out the door.
