Hello! Thanks to everyone and sorry for late!


Chapter 24: A promise to a Lady ( I took a dialogue from ‘School Hard’)

Buffy got off Spike’s car before arriving to Revello Drive, she didn’t want to risk that someone could see them. Once she was in front of her house, she climbed on the tree outside her window, jumped on the windowsill and sneaked into her house through her bedroom.
She then left the room feigning nonchalance and headed towards the living room. It was still very crowded, there were still some people dancing, some others that were chatting and there was even someone who had fallen asleep on her sofa. From afar, Buffy caught a glimpse of Willow and Xander and they noticed her as well and began approaching towards her.
“Sorry, guys, I know that I disappeared, but I was...” Buffy trailed, ready to resort to the excuse she had invented as Spike drove her back home.
“We know, Buffy, parties are always so crowded, one minute you talk with someone, the minute after you’re talking with someone else, no wonder we haven’t seen you all night long!” Xander anticipated her and Buffy smiled, thinking that Spike was right with his theory about parties.
That certainly worked better, because the excuse she had come up with hadn’t been that brilliant and she was sure it would have been hard to believe that she had unconsciously fallen asleep in her bedroom for a couple of hours.
“Anyway, Buffy, did you have fun tonight?” Willow asked her with a smile.
“Sure, Will, I’ve had lots of fun!” she answered, already knowing that she wouldn’t be able to hold on to her secret for much longer and that the day after, or rather a few hours after, she would confess everything to her best friend.
But for the moment, she confined herself just to thank everyone and say bye... even to the complete strangers who had rushed into her house.
When the last person left, Buffy locked the door, taking an upset look around, due to the fact that her kitchen and her living room looked like a war field. But it wasn’t a big trouble, her mother wouldn’t be back before two days, so she had all the time she needed to clean up the mess, so it could cleaning up could wait for a bit, she was so worn out that all she asked for was to change her clothes and sneak into her bed, drifting back to dream about the magic night she had spent with her beloved vampire, before falling asleep satisfied.

**************************************** (In the meantime)
Spike had lost the count of all the showers he’d taken before coming back to Drusilla, trying to erase Buffy’s smell from his skin. But when he came back, he found her crouched in a corner of their bedroom as she whimpered and said sentences without any sense. She was having one of her frequent crisis. Spike didn’t waste time and run to his Sire, hugging her.
“Dru, honey, shh, it’s ok now, I’m here!” he whispered, kissing her forehead and helping her to get up from the floor.
“Spike... it’s cold!” she murmured.
“I got you!” he told her, taking off his leather coat and wrapping it around her shoulders.
Drusilla let the duster heat her up, and then she looked at him more carefully.
“Spike, stop running towards the sun... you can’t reach the sun, the sun is not meant for you...” she exclaimed, sensing something and getting nervous.
“Dru, dear, you’re delirious now, you don’t know what you’re saying... you know better than me that the sun is not a dear friend of mine. I’m in the dark with you, just like now. I’m not going anywhere...” he assured her, knowing quite well that he was lying, but he hadn’t any other choice at the moment.
“Yeah, you must stay here... in the dark with Mommy, singing out nice songs... you do like our little songs, don’t you?” she commented, starting to calm down.
“Yes, I do, now why don’t you come back to bed and get some rest? I’ll be here, holding you as always, don’t worry, my baby...” he murmured, making her sit on their bed on his lap.
“Oh, Spike, sometimes I think my hair will fall out and I’ll be bald!” she murmured, whimpering scared.
“Never happen, honey, now we found the right place for you, the Hellmouth will restore you and bring color to your cheeks... metaphorically speaking of course...” he smiled at her.
“Yeah, and we have found the cure. Daddy can help. Daddy will help, bring Daddy to Princess!” she exhorted him, as she cowered on his lap and he caressed her long black hair, whispering sweet words on her ear, to make her fall asleep.
“Don’t worry, Princess, I’ll do that soon...” he said, but mostly he told it to himself, due to the fact that she was already sleeping soundly.
He knew that he couldn’t waste any more time.

Buffy was at school with her friends, and at their first break she brought Willow to a corner.
“Wassup? Something bad?” Willow got worried.
“Quite the contrary. Yesterday was the most beautiful night of my life!” she exulted.
“Oh, c’mon, you’re exaggerating now; it was just a surprise party...”
“No, no, Will. Well... it was a great party until 11:00 p.m. ... * what* I’m talking about is... think about it... where do you think that I was for the last two hours of the party?” she asked her, winking at her.
“But... how? I didn’t see him and I didn’t see you leave the party...” Willow asked her, a little bit puzzled.
“Will. You forgot that I also have a bedroom with a window...” she winked again.
“Buffy, you’re such a baaaaad girl!” her friend teased. “Now, tell me everything!” she ordered and of course, Buffy obeyed.

----------------------------------------------------------
“Well, I should have known better… you wore that ‘I’m-very-ill-intentioned’ dress!” Willow chuckled at the end. “Jokes apart... how was it? Did it hurt?” the redhead asked her curiously.

“Just a bit at the beginning, but it’s not so painful... and believe me, it was worth it!” she answered with a knowing smile. “Anyway, what about you? Are you still having those bad dreams?” Buffy wondered, getting worried and that in turn made her friend worry as well.
“Yes, Buffy, I still have those horrible nightmares, and every night they become more and more real and vivid ... something bad is going to happen very soon...”

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

Angel woke up all of the sudden, startling when he felt a presence around, and he also felt that it was someone whom he knew very, very well, it was someone of his family.

(End I)

Eh, eh, now two people who haven’t met yet are going to meet... who will they ever be? ;)
Hope you’ll still like it..

And if I manage, later.. or tomorrow, I’ll add chapter 1 to ‘Before, Now, Forever’, too, are you happy? ;)
