Chapter 1
The man turned his heart pounding, a sound he couldn’t get used to even after all these months, his own blood running through his veins. He looked at Buffy and his jaw dropped. He couldn’t believe she was here, looking as beautiful as ever.
“Buffy” he choked out, looking at the hurt in her eyes. The one thing he swore he would never do again was hurt her and here was causing that pained look in her eyes. His heart was in his mouth.
“What are you doing here, and I don’t mean in the same club type of scenario!” She couldn’t help but smile at the smirk she had produced by the comment, a smile she had missed for so many months when her life had been full of loss.
“Long story but will explain that later,” he gave her look which she knew well. The look that meant that the present company weren’t in on the situation yet. The group looked at their friend, confusion sweeping their faces. A small cough came from one of the boys stood with him.
“Well if the dweeb ain’t gonna introduce us then I will.” A brunette piped up holding out her hand. “I’m Kelly, this is James, Joe and Lucy.” She pointed out the people standing around them. Buffy’s eyes fell on the blonde she referred to as Lucy, watching her hands shake as she tipped the shot of vodka down her neck and raise a shaking cigarette to her lips.
“I’m Buffy.” She replied still watching Lucy, Spike has his hand resting on her shoulder, a twang of jealousy seeped through Buffy, was he with her now? “Everything ok?”
“Well now you come to mention it,” Spike started “we had a visit if you get my meaning love.” Spikes eyes were full of fear, he knew as well as Buffy that Lucy was special in some way and he knew those vampires were after her for a reason. “Any clues?”
“Actually Willow sent me, she said something was coming, we just don’t know what or why.” She told him.
Lucy raised her head and looked at the pair talking about her as if she wasn’t there, as if she was a private experiment, “Oi! I am here you know. You know what’s going on or what the fucking hell those things were then for god sake tell me and put me and my imagination out of our misery” Tear were forming again in her eyes.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you love.” Spike smiled at her. “But if you insist,” he looked at James and Joe, “Go tell Marvin over there to sort another round out will you, and take your time, Kelly you stay I think you need to hear this too, you may be needed.”
The boys did as they were told. “No offence Spike,” Buffy interjected “But why will we need Kelly? What has she got to do with this?” She gave a weak smile to Kelly, who had now begain to shoot firey glances at Buffy.
“My dads a demonologist,” she said proudly “I found Spike got him to watch out for Lu, I knew something was going to happen, and I yes I know what Spike was before you even ask.”
Lucy just stared at them all her heart pounding, what the hell was going on. What was she involved in? “OK, what the fuck? Why are we all in on this secret about me and I know nothing?”
“I’m a vampire slayer.” Buffy said, watching her face, judging how much should be told now, but she seemed to be taken it well. “Those things that were after you tonight were vampires, we just don’t know why they are after you…….. Yet!” She smiled. “But my friend Willow is working on it, she’s good with the magic’s and stuff.”
“If reds on the case then that’s good, she’ll figure it out pet, I promise.”
Lucy just sat quietly taking in what she had been told. Then a sentence stuck in her head “what Spike was before?” What the hell did that mean? “Ok what are you?” She said staring at Spike, fear in her eyes.
“Good question Spike, I know I for one would like to know!” Buffy stood crossed arms staring at him, the look that he had only seen before battle, he knew she meant business.
“Shanshu!” He said flatly seeing the confused looks on all there faces he knew he had to explain more. “There was a prophecy that a vampire with a soul will become human after averting an apocalypse. I thought Angel would be the one inline for it, but he signed it away to save to world so here I am, a living breathing human, with vampire strength and sense’s.”
They were all quite, staring at him, then Buffy spoke, “What happened to Angel?”
“The big poof is still sunning himself so to speak in LA, I would be too if it wasn’t for Kelly here begging me to come back to the mother country.”
“Hang on a minute you were a vampire?” Lucy was suddenly coming round to the fact her life was no longer simple, not that it ever was. The whole story was too far fetched not to be believed. Spike could only smile watching his friend return to what they classed as normal. “And you Kelly bird, have explaining to do, not that I mind the peroxide staying with me, but I would of like to know that he was going to be my body guard. Ah alcohol, I’m thinking you too are paying for this round.” she smiled at her friends as she watched Spike put his hand in his pocket for his wallet handing the money over to Joe. Then a thought dawned on her, what about her son? What if they knew where she lived? They must have been watching her for weeks, her baby wasn’t safe, she had to go to him.
“LUKE!” she screamed. Spike realising the same thought jumped up from his chair grabbing his coat. Buffy couldn’t help but smile at the fact that he was wearing the same duster as when she as said goodbye to him.
“Where are we going?” she asked following the party.
“We going to make sure my son is ok.” Lucy shouted choking back tears as to what those monsters could do to her baby boy.
