The next morning Spike woke up to the sound of laughter out in the hall. He frowned wondering what time it was. No one had been up before ten the day before and he wondered just how late he had slept. He looked at the clock and jumped out of bed in alarm when he saw it was almost one.
He was hoping to talk to Carla again this morning to try to get more clues of where they actually were and how to get onto those computers quicker than usual but when he got down to the dining room and kitchen there were already a couple of guys milling around.
He took a seat at the table and sighed looking down at the wood grain.

“Would you like something to eat sir?”
He looked up and saw Carla standing there waiting his answer. She looked around nervously before dropping a folded piece of paper in front of him. He picked it up quickly and hid it in his hand before giving her a tight smile.
“no thanks im good.” She moved on asking another blonde head guy for his order not once looking back at Spike. He shifted nervously and unfolded the note scanning it quickly.

Spike,
I have already packed a bag with better food in it and I put in a few more books that she may like and some more clothes. I left it in the kitchen next to the door.
Good luck

Spike smiled to himself before getting up and going back upstairs to change. He had to go see about a girl.

Spike was almost out the front door when he heard his name being called from behind.
He turned to see Angel walking towards him eagerly.
“Wow starting early I see?” Angel grinned at him.
Spike nodded plastering a smirk on his face.
“Good good im glad your taking this so seriously, you’re taking her food?” Angel asked looking down at the bag in Spike’s hands.
“Yeah gotta keep her energy up right?” Spike said with a sly grin while inside he was retching.
Angel just laughed heartily and beamed in pride.
“Richard picked a fine lad to work for him!” He said loudly before walking off to the kitchen for some food. Spike shivered in disgust before leaving the house not noticing the brown eyes glaring at him in hatred.

“Buffy?” he walked further into the room surprised when he didn’t see her there he looked around with a frown and almost had a heart attack when the bathroom door suddenly swung open revealing an obviously newly showered Buffy in her oversize jogging pants and sweater. She greeted him with a small smile and ducked her head with a little wave.
“You …give more?” She asked indicating the bag in his hand.
He nodded and placed the bag on the bed emptying its contents and showing her what he brought. He unpacked the countless containers of sandwiches and pasties and laughed when he found even more bags of chips and candy bars. Carla must really like these.

Next he pulled out two towels and shampoo and conditioner something which he never would have thought of and he sent a silent thank you to Carla for saving him a lot of trouble. He handed the bag to Buffy then as he knew it was mostly clothes and books and she took it smiling gratefully at him.
“ merci.” She smiled looking through the rest of the bag.
“No problem pet. So how are you?” He asked. He could still see the black bags under her eyes and it scared him that she looked even more tired than before. It almost looked as if she could fall asleep while standing up and talking to him.
“Uhh good...im…tired?” She said unsurely mispronouncing the word but Spike got the meaning and nodded in understanding.

“You haven’t slept?” He asked in concern.
“Nightmares…and…other men…I wish to be…awake if uhh,” She mumbled sitting down on the bed next to him. He nodded in understanding and sighed deeply.
“Look pet. I cant promise they wont come back but…I can stay here for awhile…if you want to sleep. I’ll look after you,” He said solemnly not looking at her. She understood enough and smiled at him. He really did care. She scooted back and laid down on the bed finally letting her head rest on the pillow, within seconds she was already asleep and Spike smiled at how cute she was when she slept. She looked surprisingly young and innocent and he found himself completely captured by her beauty.

He moved backwards lifting her feet so they rested in his lap and leant against the wall, despite the fact he had slept for hours last night his eyes began to feel heavy and within a few moments he too drifted into sleep.
Spike had no idea how long he had been asleep but when he woke up it was to the very disturbing cries of Buffy trapped in an obvious nightmare. Spike looked down at her in panic as she thrashed about her face contorted up into a grimace of fear and Spike’s heart lurched when he noticed the tears that ran down her face. He moved quickly scooting down the bed and lifting Buffy so she sat in his lap. He rocked her gently whispering soothingly into her ear hoping to calm her back into sleep and he thought he had succeeded when she went silent again the only sound coming from her were her soft little breaths which was why he was so surprised when she moved her head back to look up at him. He looked down into her eyes and give her hand a gentle squeeze.

“Nightmare?” He asked.
She nodded solemnly and shifted slightly.
“Want me…to move?” She asked quietly.
“No you can stay where you are if you want to pet.” he answered rubbing soothing circles into her back. She must have understood because she moved even closer to him and buried her face in his chest clearly taking comfort in his embrace and he smiled moving backwards to get more comfortable and settling her in his lap safely. He had no clue how much time passed but he was starting to get hungry himself and he knew he should be getting back to the house. He cleared his throat to get her attention and give her an apologetic look when she looked up at him sleepily.

“I’m sorry pet I have to go.” Spike said sadly. She didn’t say anything however and just sat up moving so she was standing next to him.
She surprised him when she give him a tight hug and he smiled at her when she pulled back.
“Merci…you…feel safe.” She said giving him one last hug before sitting back down on the bed.
“That’s good luv….listen im not gunna come here tomorrow okay? I want to try to find a way out of here…will you be okay?” Spike asked feeling bad for leaving her here by herself for a day. She nodded in understanding and waved goodbye, watching as he left the room. Spike closed the door behind him and sighed before finally getting outside. He was shocked at how cold it was and his eyes widened when he noticed how dark it was. He must have stayed there all day without realising I and he made his way back to the house deep in thought about his plans for tomorrow.
