Thank you so much, Allison and BuffyandSpikeForever!! :)

Chapter eight : A new enemy (?) (I)

“Will, I think it’s a little bit too early for school!” Buffy exclaimed the morning after, when she found Willow at her door at 7:00 a.m.
“”I’m not here due to school, but to * talk*!” the redhead explained, lingering on the last word to make her friend understand what kind of conversation it would be.
The blonde got her immediately.
“Angel, right?”
“Is Joyce here?” Willow wondered.
“Don’t worry, mom already left for the gallery, so we are completely alone!” her friend reassured her.

“Well, remember when Giles asked how I had found out that Angel is a vampire? I didn’t tell him the whole truth…”
“The one that you’re gonna tell me now!” the blonde commented with a large smile.
“Right. So, we were in my room, I asked him why he kept looking after me and he said that it was because he likes me, then he told me he had found out that I wasn’t the Slayer and asked me why I had lied to him. I told him it was because I was afraid he wouldn’t care about a normal girl, but he said I was wrong... so finally... WE KISSED!!” she exulted as Buffy squealed, happy that her friend had her first kiss.

“It was fantastic, and then I opened my eyes, saw the mirror... and you already know the rest of the story!” the redhead went on. “Buffy, I think something must be wrong with me, because I know he’s a vampire, that he’s dangerous and that this is insane... but I care about him, I like him. I wanna be with him...” she confessed, as ashamed as ever, fearing that her friend wouldn’t understand or support her decision.
But she was totally wrong.
“Willow, it’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you, and trust me, there couldn’t be anyone who understands you better than me, because I also...” Buffy started to confess, but Willow cut her off.
“You know, at least I know that he’s a good vampire, because he has a soul, otherwise I would feel very sick, shameful, dirty... and I would have trouble looking at myself at the mirror... well, at least he doesn’t have this problem...” Willow added, and Buffy shut up, feeling like a despicable, mean ... but happy person.
“What were you gonna say?” her friend asked her.
“Oh. Nothing important, forget it! So, you said he has a soul, well... what’s a soul after all? Does it guarantee that a person is good and pure? I don’t think so... just think about rapists, pedophiles and stuff like that... they are human and soulful, aren’t’ they? A soul means nothing!” Buffy stated.
“He had this dark past, very, very dark, believe me, he was one of the most bloodthirsty vampires that has walked the Earth, but then something made him change...” Willow explained.
“What made him change? How did he get his soul back? And most importantly... how do you know all this stuff about him?”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So, you spent the night together...” Buffy commented, after Willow’s detailed tale.
“Right... but we did nothing! He held me in his arms as he watched me sleep...”
“Aww. That’s so cute! I also would like to do that ... No, don’t get me wrong, not with your Angel, but with my... well, no one in particular, just an hypothetic someone...” the blonde lied as she poured some milk into her glass.
“Anyway, that wasn’t the only reason why he came to me...” Willow informed her. “It seems there’s a new enemy in town. Angel knows him very well and he said he’s very, very dangerous, cruel and extremely strong. His name is Spike...”
Hearing that name, Buffy almost choked to death with her milk.
“Buffy, are you okay?”
“Yeah (coughing)... don’t worry (coughing), it’s just that... I mean, first Darla and the Master, then this... Spike, right? I mean, there’s not a moment of peace here!” she justified.
“Yeah, after all there’s a reason that this is the Hellmouth! Anyway, Angel will meet us at school, later. I’ll tell Giles and Xander...”
“School? Daylight?”
“Exactly, he said he has his methods not to end burned up into a pile of ashes, so now... let’s go to school!” Willow said, and they left together.

I hope you still like it! ;)
