Amelia-Jane, Ashley, Sharon, THANK YOUUUU so very much!!

See? I’ve been very fast this time ;)

Lies My Parents Told Me (II) (‘Never Leave Me’ and ‘Lies My Parents Told Me’ inspired me a lot to write this chapter...)


“Itcan’tberealyoucan’tbereal!” Spike exclaimed, too shocked to bother to separate the words he was saying.

“William, yes, I’m dead, we both know that, but I got to return in spirit to help you, to warn you, my beloved son...” she smiled, with a sweet and calm tone, just like she used to do when she was alive.

“To warn me?” he repeated, as he still had to get accustomed to the vision. “Anyway, mother, there are so many things I want to tell you...” he murmured, but she beckoned him to keep silent.

“No, William, my time is short, now you just have to listen to me, carefully!” she summoned him with a cold tone that he wasn’t used to, and that made him doubtful, but The First realized that and the woman’s attitude became gentle and sweet once again. “It’s just that I want you to know something important, before it’s too late. I’ve been looking after you since the day my existence on this Earth ended, so I know what’s going on. The First is more clever than the two of you, so he assumed Giles’ aspect the last time you visited him, so he made you believe all those things, but it was all just a big lie. Truth is that you’re destroying Buffy’s soul and without it she won’t be the same girl you used to know and love, she‘ll turn against you. She will wish you dead... because she will change. You remember this story very well, don’t you, my sweet? It’s already happened before and you don’t want that to happen again, do you? So kill her, before it’s too late. If you really love her, kill her to save her, to save her soul!” the woman suggested to him.

“Quit it!” Spike snapped, realizing everything.

“What?”

“You may have her same aspect, you may have her same voice, even the same memories, but you are not my mother. So, I know what game you’re playing at, *The First *!” the vampire stated, with a smirk.

The First looked at him with rage, assuming Caleb’s features.

“My compliments, you’re very smart...”

“Anyway, I know for sure that my Buffy would love me with or without her soul...” Spike added.

The First sneered.

“You know, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, not after the little speech your blondie and I had...” it warned him.

“Why? Tell me what the bloody hell you told her!” the blond growled.

“Why don’t you find it on your own?” Caleb/The First struck back, fading away.

Spike left the room in a rush, looking for Buffy.

As soon as the vampire left, The First appeared in the room again.

“Do you really think that it’s over?” it thought out loud. “Oh no, I’m not over with you, Spike, I know you too well...” he went on, slipping into Spike’s aspect. “Each and every weakness of yours...” he sneered evilly, fading away.

Due to the Sire/Childe bond, it was a piece of cake for Spike to find Buffy inside the warehouse.

“Honey, why did you run away?” he exclaimed approaching to her, but he was astonished when he saw her back off, looking at him with diffidence.

“You... I ... we-I can’t!” she muttered, making him even more confused.

“No, pet, listen. I don’t know what you heard before, but it’s all a lie...” he started explaining, but she cut him off, roughly.

“No, all I heard from Giles were lies, and you know that better than me, since you are one of The First’s allies!” she accused him.

“What the bloody hell are you blathering about?”

“I know everything, but you won’t bring me to his side, no matter what, I won’t let you destroy the world!” she threatened him, with an icy gleam in her eyes.

“Buffy, please... you’ve been fooled, whoever you saw, whatever he/she told you... it’s wrong...”

“Shut up, you’re under The First’s control!” she warned him. “You’re not my Spike anymore, I’ve lost him forever. You are just an enemy...” she went on, taking a glimpse of a chair against the wall and breaking one of its legs in order to get a pointy edge. “And I have to eliminate all the enemies,” Buffy concluded, approaching to him, threateningly.

It was enough to look at her blank and emotional gaze for Spike to realize that his sweet Buffy was prisoner in a nightmare and he had to wake her up from that.

He dodged her first attack and backed off, but then something, or rather someone, drew his attention.

“ES, c’mon, it’s not the right moment for that. Can’t you see that I have a problem? Go back to your room!” he said to the copy of himself whom he had seen behind a column.

“Spike, what are you saying? There’s no one else here, just you and me!” Buffy commented, looking in his same direction, but without seeing anyone.

Spike/The First sneered, before starting to sing.

“Early one morning, just as the sun was shining/ I heard a maid sing in the valley below...”

“Oh no, not that song, stop it, stop it, BLOODY STOP IT!” Spike yelled, holding his head in his hands as he kept shaking, almost as if he wanted to make something go away from him.

“Spike, what’s wrong?” Buffy said uptight, letting her stake fall on the floor, as she didn’t understand why he was acting like that.

“Oh, don’t deceive me. Oh, never leave me/ How could you use a poor maiden so?” Spike/The First finished singing.

Buffy had approached to Spike, more and more concerned, putting one hand on his shoulder.

But he pushed her hand away with a growl, and shoved her on the ground, looking at her in full game face.

Buffy tried to reach her stake, but Spike kicked it away, ready to attack her.

TBC

Well, after that... as I whistle innocently… I’m gonna leave the Planet in order to avoid your furious attacks! Brrr!

But don’t worry, I’ll come back soon to fix things... in the meantime... trust me! ;)

Since there won’t be any update before Monday..

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!!!
