| L.A., California. Wolfram & Hart. Angel stood in his office while he and his friends discussed the trial that had just happened and Angel looked at Charles Gunn. Gunn had called for a dismissal of the case and Angel wasn't happy. Angel paced the office when he walked to his desk and picked up the envelope off his desk. There was no return address as he looked at them and sighed. " So, what do we do now, Angel? ", Fred asked as he looked at her and sighed. " I don't know. ", Angel said when he opened the envelope and something fell to the floor. Angel looked at the necklace laying on the floor when he realized it was the same one that he had sent to his former love, Buffy Summers, The Slayer, and she had given it to someone that Angel really didn't think was worthy of it. Spike. A vampire nearly as dangerous as he was but Buffy had deemed it that Spike should wear it and she had sent word that Spike died wearing it to save the world. Before Angel could pick the necklace up, the amulet at the end of the necklace flared and ashes poured out of the amulet and swirled around the room. The ashes flared then changed into someone and that someone screamed. Standing before them was Spike. He wore black leather boots, black jeans, a belt, a black t- shirt, and a black leather duster and he stood in front of them shaking. They looked at him when Spike's blue eyes rolled into his head and he fell to the floor. " Who is that? ", Lorne asked as they walked closer and Angel knelt down. " Spike? ", Wesley Wyndham-Pryce asked as Angel looked at him and sighed. " Spike. ". " Who's Spike? ", Gunn asked. " A vampire. A very dangerous one. The only one more dangerous then he is was....... ", Wes said. " Me. ", Angel said. " Ummmmmmm, Angel, if he's a vampire then why is he breathing? ", Fred asked while she knelt on the other side of Spike and she had her hand on Spike's chest. " What?! ", Angel said when he placed his hand on Spike and felt Spike breathing. Angel touched Spike's neck when he pouted then placed his head on Spike's chest. " Angel? ", Wes asked and Angel sat up looking at them. " He's alive. ". " Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? ", Lorne asked as Fred touched Spike's wrist and looked at him. " He has a pulse. It's thready but it's there. ", Fred said when Angel noticed that Spike's hand was on the amulet and reached for the necklace. The amulet flared when the necklace vanished and Angel moved Spike's hand. The necklace was gone. " What do we do now? ", Gunn asked. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- London, England. The bedroom was quiet while she laid under the covers and was sleeping. This was Buffy Summers. Once The Slayer. Now just one of many young women with extraordinary power. Buffy slept when she drifted into a dream and pouted. ------------------------------- White. Everything was pure white. Then everything was set on fire. Fire flickered around her when she heard screaming and her eyes went wide. " Nooooooooooooooooooooo! ", her voice echoed in the fire and she saw him. Spike. On fire and turning into ashes. She reached out for him when the fire flared around her and she screamed. Then everything went white again. At the center of the white was a bed and what looked like a window. She walked closer when she heard hissing and a beeping sound and looked down. " No! ", Buffy said when she looked down and saw Spike laying under the covers. He had an air tube shoved up his nose as she looked at the monitor to his left and watched the light bouncing up and down. She slowly reached to touch his hair when his eyes snapped open and she looked into his shining blue eyes. " Find me, Pet. ", he whispered as she looked at him and he started fading. " Where are you!? ", she shouted when he looked up at the window and she looked at the sight in the window. She saw L.A. then The Wolfram & Hart Building and he touched her hand. She could feel him touching her. " Please. Before they hurt me. I'm scared, Luv. ", he said then faded away and Buffy screamed his name. ------------------------------------------ Buffy woke up when she felt someone shake her and noticed that the lights were on. Sitting on the bed next to her was her sister, Dawn, and she looked scared. " Buffy!? Wake up! ", Dawn said shaking her as Buffy blinked and they looked at each other. " Dawnie? ". " You were having a nightmare. You were screaming for Spike. ", Dawn said when Buffy got up and Dawn looked at her. " Get the others. We're leaving. ". " Where are we going? ", Dawn asked as Buffy got some clothes and her suitcase and Dawn was getting scared. " L.A.. ". " What's in L.A. besides Angel? Is Angel in trouble? ". " No. Spike is! ". " Spike's dead! ". " I don't think so. Now, go get the others. ", Buffy said when Dawn left and Buffy looked out of the window at the semi dark sky. FIND ME, PET! echoed in her ears as she packed and sighed trying hard not to cry. " Don't worry, Spike, we're coming. ". |
