Amelia-Jane, Ashley, Sharon, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

The Key To His Mind (II)

“Really, it had never happened before, but the spirit of his mother entered in me, it was her doing the talking and I could clearly feel all her love for him, her goodness, her kind spirit... eeeww, that’s not a nice feeling!” she went on, making a disgusted face and GB chuckled imagining how the brunette vampiress must have felt.

“C’mon, my love, I’m gonna make you forget all those terrible feelings,” Angelus whispered in her ear, nibbling gently on her lobe, despite his now elongated sharp canines as he took her away with him.

ES and EB were hugging each other without talking, as she kept caressing his face, rubbing her face against his neck and kissing the last bite marks she had left on him. All those sweet little gestures meant so much more than all the words she could have said to him.

GB went back to her Mate, cuddling closer to him as she waited for him to wake up. She couldn’t help noticing the serene and peaceful expression he had now.

She was happy that he had broken free from that huge and painful guilt and that finally everything was okay again.

She could sense him stir, so she held him tighter, giving him little kisses behind his left ear, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he parted from her and stared at her with sad eyes.

GB looked at him, without understanding what was wrong, and she tried to get closer to him again, but he kept backing off.

“You can’t... you must not...” he talked disjointedly, running away before the others could stop him.

But his Mate didn’t lose any time and chased after him in a rush.

************************************* (In the meantime)

(U1) LOS ANGELES

Taking advantage of the fact that it was morning and all the others were minding their own business, Wesley and Dawn were in his room, watching TV, cuddled together on his bed.

Unfortunately, he had had the awful idea of going through the channels with the remote, ending up on a special MTV about Britney Spears, and once Dawn had recognized a single frame of one of her favourite artist’s video clips, not only she had summoned him not to change channels anymore, but she had also sang every song from beginning to end, complete with all the choreographies, too.

Finally, the show was over and so was Wesley’s torture. Finally he could have again all of Dawn’s attentions.

They were busy kissing for the umpteenth passionate time when Wes’ mobile rang.

He parted from her to pick the call, which made her feel a little bit disappointed.

“Hello?” he said, and she was almost tempted to tease him as he talked, but the seriousness of his expression as he listened to the conversation made her change her mind.

“Ok, I’ll be there in a couple of hours. I’ll leave as soon as I can. Bye!” Wesley assured, hanging up and then he started gathering his stuff.

“What happened?” Dawn asked him in concern.

“It’s about the spell Buffy and Spike used to go to that other dimension, it seems that Giles has finally found out the way to make them come back, but he said he wants to consult me before, just to be sure. So, I’m going to Sunnydale,” he explained.

“And I’m coming with you, and don’t even dare to say no. Spike and Buffy’s matter is my matter, too!” Dawn struck back, serious and impassable.

Wesley knew that it was useless to try to make her change her mind.

“Ok, Dawnie, but do me a favour, please, while I pack my stuff, go to Angel to let him know,” he asked her, but then he remembered that at that time of the day Angel was supposed to be in his room with Drusilla... and they weren’t surely playing cards! “Wait! *you * stay here and start packing our stuff as * I * go talk to Angel!” he corrected himself, leaving the room as she obeyed, chuckling due to his agitation.

TWO DAYS LATER

SUNNYDALE

“So, Giles, what’s the matter?” Wesley asked him.

“If it’s due to the fact that they can’t tell us when their battle there ends, it’s not such a big deal. Think about it, we have two great seer girls who felt the beginning of all that stuff, so they will be able as well to sense its end… I guess. Plus, we also have the help of two very powerful and sensitive witches,” Dawn said, thinking that the problem was that, but Giles shook his head negatively.

“No, Dawn, I had already thought about that. That’s not the problem. Please leave me alone with Wesley for a while,” he pleaded and Dawn obeyed, leaving the Magic Box and finding Tara and Willow outside.

“Dawnie, welcome back!” Willow smiled at her, but Dawn didn’t have time for warm greeting.

“Do you know something that I don’t know?” she questioned them.

“No, dear, Giles said that he won’t tell us anything until he’s one hundred percent sure...” “ Tara informed her.

------------------------------------------------------

After Wesley’s confirmation of his fears in the afternoon, that night the whole Scooby gang was at Giles’ house as the two Englishmen looked at each other seriously, scarily seriously.

“We found the only way for Spike and Buffy to come back here, but I would have preferred never to find it out,” Giles warned them, making everyone uptight.

“What is it? Please, tell us!” Dawn urged them, very agitated.

“They must sacrifice their existences. So, either way if they do it or don’t do it... we will never see them again,” Wesley went on, since Giles was too shocked to talk.

“It can’t be, you’ll have to research again,” Dawn exhorted them desperately, as the others had to recover from the shock of the terrible news.

“But we have done all the research we could and...”

“I SAID RESEARCH IT AGAIN!” she yelled hysterically, running outside and heading towards Revello drive, getting into her house and rushing inside Buffy and Spike’s room, throwing herself on that bed where, countless times, due to an innocent spite or to their own request, she had always waken them up and urged them to get up to face the day.

“They’ll come back to me, they’ll come back to me, they’ll come back to me...” she repeated restlessly as she cried as she had never cried before.

Just a promise. I’m always ready to run away if you get mad at me, but let me assure you about next chapter, because it will be plenty of mushy spuffyness! ;)
