Summary: Buffy finally sees the light
Warning: Character Death
"What in the...” Buffy stood at the door to the
crypt. Spike scrambled off the bed and towards the Slayer "Luv it's not what you think". "So your not
screwing Darla on the bed then, it's just my imagination", she glared at
him. Darla got up and walked naked over to Spike. "Guess you weren't women
enough for him little girl", she smirked.
"Maybe",
Buffy shot back. "But Angel seemed to think i
was good enough", she knew it would sting Spike but she just didn't care.
"I'm coming back tonight and if you and your whore aren't out of Sunnydale, this story will have a very dusty ending".
She looked at the vampire in disgust and stormed out of the crypt.
She
stormed into Willy's bar and was still there hours later when Spike found her.
He walked over to the bar and sat on a stool. "How much has she had?', he
asked Willy looking over at the Slayer who was sitting at a table with a bunch
of vampires. "Two bottles and they've been buying her drinks as
well", he answered handing Spike a glass of blood. He took it flung a bill
on the bar and walked over to the table.
"Slayer",
he interrupted. "Can we talk". "Get lost Spike", one of
them growled. Buffy didn't even acknowledge him. She was too busy staring at
the blonde who had just walked in. She stood up and walked past him to make her
way over to the newcomer. Spike tried to get to her but was stopped by the
group. "Get out now traitor", the tallest one growled. "What so
you'll speak to the slayer but not me", he started laughing. "She
doesn't deny what she is. You are supposed to kill humans not go to tea with
them. No take her advice and get out of town". Spike knew it was useless
to interrupt but as he walked past Buffy and the stranger he vowed before long
she would be his.
"So
what's your name. Not fair that you know mine", she smiled at him.
"I'm Chris", he smiled. "So Chris what do you do", she
asked moving closer to him. She knew him from somewhere but couldn't put her
finger on it. "Oh i'm …an electrician", he
grinned. Buffy knew he wasn't telling her the whole truth but she wasn't the
one to talk about keeping secrets.
They
talked for hours and nothing at all and had just got into a conversation about
which their favorite Power Ranger was when Willy walked over. "Sorry Buf, i've got to lock up",
he shrugged. "S'okay Wil",
she smiled getting up from the table. "So you coming back to mine",
she held out her hand. He paused for a minute before taking in and standing up
to follow her out the door.
"Been
waiting for you", she turned around to see Spike leaning against the wall.
"What do you want William", she frowned at him. "Where's your
slut?", she asked walking past him. "Am i
interrupting something?", Chris was nervous. He didn't like the look of
this. The man looked dangerous and he was afraid he was going to hurt Buffy. He
fell onto Buffy who turned around just in time to see Darla in front of her
before was hit in the back of the head.
"Bloody
hell", Buffy stood up wondering what the hell had just happened. Looking
around she couldn't find Chris and started worrying. He wasn't anywhere to be
seen. She ran all the way to the house. "We have a problem", she
yelled storming through the door. Giles and Willow walked into the living room.
"Spike's kidnapped somebody..."Is that all", Giles interrupted
Wondering why Buffy was so wound up. "He's working
with Darla", she said walking over to the weapons. The whole room went
silent. Buffy retrieved some stakes and her crossbow and walked out the door.
"But Buff...", she never heard the end of the sentence.
As she
walked along the street, she knew exactly where they would be. Slowly walking
into the Mansion she made her way to the basement. Opening the door she saw
Chris chained to the wall. Obviously a left over from Angelus. She put her
finger to her lip and walked over to them. "Where are they?", she
whispered as she let him down. "Upstairs waiting for you", he
groaned. He was hurting all over. He had never bled this much even in the ring.
Go to
this address she said handing him a slip of paper and wait for me there. She
walked up the stairs and straight into the trap that she knew was waiting for
her. 'Buffy", Spike smiled. Darla was standing at the other end of the
room at the fireplace. "Let’s get this over with", she growled her
patience had run out. He stood up and walked slowly over to her. Yeah really
sexy she thought stopping herself just in time before she started laughing.
"This ends tonight", he purred at her as he traced his finger along
her jawline. "Got that right", she smiled.
"I'm going to do something i should have done
years ago", she looked at him
His eyes were burning with love for her. See that's what
got to her. He said he was devoted to her yet thought nothing about jumping
into bed with someone else. His mistake was closing his eyes. As soon as he did
she brought out the stake that was hidden in her sleeve and put it through his
heart. He didn't even have time to open them before he exploded into dust. Clap,
clap, clap, she turned around to see Darla laughing.
"Got to be honest Buffy. I
was getting ready to do it if you hadn't". Buffy stormed over to her but
was stopped by the shot that rung out. Looking down she saw the hole in her
chest. "No", she screamed. She wasn't scared of dying. She just
didn't want it to be Darla who killed her. Gritting through the pain she
grabbed a hold of Darla and with strength even she didn't know she had pulled
the female vampire's head straight off her shoulder.
She
tried to make it to the door but collapsed and that's where Chris found her.
"Christ Buffy", he groaned running over to her. "I thought i told you to get lost", she smiled as he lifted her
head onto his lap. There was blood everywhere and she knew this was it. This
time there would be no going back. She was brought out her thoughts by
something wet falling on her face. Looking up she saw Chris was crying. He kept
whispering "my fault, my fault", over and over again.
With the last bit of strength
she had left she moved her hand over his face and wiped away the tears. That's
when it came to her "You liar your a wrestler. Your second names
Benoit". She smiled up at him. He actually started laughing before bending
down and kissing her. "So what's what i had to
do to make you kiss me", she grinned. It got him going again.
"Hey
Mr tough guy", she shook him. "It's ok
really. I've lived longer than i should have",
she got comfy. "And i get to see my mommy
again", she started to tremble before bursting into tears. "I've
missed her so much". He cuddled her to him before realizing she hadn't
moved. She was gone. The protector of the world was finally dead and this time
she wasn't coming back.
The
funeral was held at night as a lot of vampires wanted to come and pay their
respects to the girl. They might not have liked her but she did have their
respect. Chris stayed and a few of the wrestlers turned up. They wanted to find
out about this young woman that had stolen and broken his heart in such a short
time. And they wanted to say goodbye to him.
He had
decided to stay in Sunnydale to help Giles and the
Scooby Gang. He had asked them about Buffy and had realized he wanted to take
over from where she left off. He might not be as good as her but he could help
in his own way. Which was why he was in the middle of a cemetery now dusting
himself off. He didn't notice the girl behind him smiling as she sat on the
tombstone. "You would have liked him Mom", she smiled at the other
woman standing beside her. "No honey, i
wouldn't", she shot back. "But you wouldn't have had it any other
way". Linking arms they both walked out of Sunnydale
and out of existence. Buffy might be gone she would never ever be forgotten
