Chapter 6

“Her name is, Kali. She’s a powerful witch that I was involved with a long time ago. Drusilla and I were both involved with her, actually.” Spike explained after they both got back to the house.

Buffy held her hand in the air. “Okay, I get it. I don’t need to know the details. So, you suddenly remember her?”

Spike nodded. “It’s like everything from my past came back to me. I can remember all the horrible things that I did, all the lives I took. I remember Darla and Angelus. What I still can’t seem to remember is everything that happened with you. It’s like my life when I came to Sunnydale is still a blank. She doesn’t want me to remember it,” he explained. “She wanted me to forget you. I don’t think she meant to take all of my memories away, though.”

Buffy still couldn’t understand it. “Why would she want to erase me from your memory?”

Spike took a deep breath before he spoke again. “Kali has this obsession with me. She always tried to get me alone in the past, but I was too devoted to Drusilla at the time. I would never do anything with her unless Dru was there. I don’t think she liked to share me. It looks like that obsession never went away. She thinks you’re in the way now, Buffy. I know Kali. She won’t stop until she gets what she wants. I couldn’t bear the thought of her doing anything to you.”

Buffy grasped his hand in hers. “I’ll be okay, Spike. I can take care of her if she decides to come after me.”

Spike shook his head. “This is my fault. I should be the one to deal with her. I don’t want you anywhere near her.” Spike noticed that Buffy was about to say something else and pressed his finger to her lips. “She’s my problem, Buffy. I need you to stay out of it.” He removed his finger after a few seconds.

Buffy let out a sigh and decided to give in. “Fine, but I don’t like it,” she told him with a pout.

Spike smiled and kissed her on the lips. “That’s my girl.”

Spike woke up in the middle of the night and looked to find Buffy still asleep next to him. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead, being careful not to wake her. He got up slowly and put his clothes on. He moved to the door and took one more look at her. He then left the room and headed out of the house. He had a witch to find.

Buffy opened her eyes when she knew Spike was gone. She quickly left her bed and got dressed. She could take a guess at where he was going. She may have agreed to stay out of it, but she was the Slayer. She couldn’t let Spike handle it by himself. They were in this together. She went to Dawn’s room first to see that she was sound asleep. She smiled and figured that her sister would be okay by herself for a little while. She then ran downstairs and grabbed her jacket as she walked out of the house.

Spike looked everywhere for Kali. He wasn’t sure where she would be staying, but he decided to look around the Bronze and anywhere else where she might be. He was searching outside Willy’s where he remembered first seeing her, but she was nowhere to be found. He was about to give up, when he heard the familiar voice behind him.

“Looking for me, gorgeous.”

He turned at Kali’s voice to find her standing there in a tight, leather outfit. He couldn’t deny that she was very attractive, but she was nothing compared to Buffy. Spike took a breath and hoped that he knew what he was doing. He then put a smirk on his face and walked over to her. “I was hoping I would find you here. We never did finish our conversation,” he told her.

“No, I don’t suppose we did. I was about to have some fun and you just ran off. I missed you, William. Where have you been hiding since our little chat?” she said and ran her hands down his arms.

“I’ve been around.”

Kali scowled at him. “With the Slayer?”

Spike tried to look confused. “Who’s the Slayer? I didn’t think there was one around here,” he said and hoped that she bought it.

She gave him a smile. “So, I guess my little spell worked. You really don’t know who she is?”

Spike shrugged. “No, should I?”

Kali moved closer and touched his cheek. “She’s no one important. We’re together now and that’s all that matters,” she whispered and kissed him on the lips, with all the passion that she felt for him.

Spike kissed her back for a few seconds and then pulled away. He was trying not to cringe. “Why don’t we finish this somewhere else?”

She looked into his eyes and then stepped away from him.

He wondered what caused the change in her expression, but he didn’t have to wonder for long.

“Did you think I wouldn’t figure it out? I can sense her all over you.”

Spike should have known that she would see through that. “I can’t get anything by you, love. You may have made me forget everything, but I wouldn’t forget about her. I would never want you, Kali. You never meant anything to me. I guess you did that spell for nothing.”

Kali’s eyes started to glow and she suddenly felt another presence close by. She smiled when she realized who it was. She raised her hand and shot a fireball toward the trashcans in the alley.

Buffy came out from hiding when they caught on fire and noticed that she also had flames on her jacket. She took it off and threw it on the ground, stepping on it to put the fire out. She then glanced up at them. “Guess you caught me,” she said and didn’t look all that surprised. “I never liked that jacket, anyway.”

Kali wasn’t amused.

Spike was worried for Buffy. He should have known that she wouldn’t stay away.

“You shouldn’t be here, Slayer. You’ve already taken everything from me.” Kali claimed in a harsh tone.

Buffy rolled her eyes. “God, do you have to be so dramatic? He doesn’t want you, deal with it.”

Kali became even angrier. She wouldn’t let this little girl get in her way. She would get rid of her once and for all. She raised her hand and a dagger appeared this time.

Buffy then realized that she couldn’t move. She looked to see that Spike was also struggling to move. Her eyes bulged at what was about to happen.

Kali raised the dagger and without any hesitation, threw it toward the Slayer.

Buffy could do nothing as the dagger impaled itself into her abdomen. She yelled and looked down at the blade that was now sticking out of her stomach. She had tears in her eyes from the pain and gazed back up at the smile on Kali’s face. She then fell to the ground.
