Prologue
Some things just have knack of happening. No rhyme no reason just happening. That is what seemed to happened to Lucy. No matter how straight forward things were to begin with they always seemed to go wrong in the end. This was how life was going at the moment strange things were happening. People knocking on the door then running away leaving strange symbols on her door. Late night phone calls from unknown callers then the night occurred when things finally got weird for her beyond all belief. People following her from work. Watching her from the street. She called the police but when they had arrived the stalkers had been gone. What the hell was ging she had no idea, though what she did know was it wasn't going to turn out pretty for anyone. It was just a feeling but she knew it was going to happen.
The wind blew through the street as she made her way towards the busy town centre, the icy coldness feeling cold against her skin after a long day in a stuffy store. It was Saturday her only night off from everything, no baby, no work in the morning. Her life for one night was her own. She walked past her friends flat checking if the light was still on. Seeing it wasn’t she assumed she must be at the club already. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and pulled her shoulders around her drawing what warmth she could from her own body. A group of lads nosily walked past shouting comments at her as she carried. Then it stopped mid sentence. Lucy turned to see what the caused the sudden silence from the boys and her face dropped. Three older men were stood in front of the group of now dead boys , blood running down there faces looking straight at her. She turned and ran as fast as her legs would carry her. The club was just around the corner she could make it if she didn’t stop. Ron and Reg would help her, save her, get rid of them for her. She turned the corner into the club and fell panting at the burly mans feet tears running down her face. Reg picked her up and signalled for his partner to go and get watch them eyes in her head as they stared at her.
Buffy walked up the road her senses heightened. She was on the look out for a girl, she wasn’t a slayer she was something else. Willow couldn’t explain what she was looking for, all she knew was that she had to be found, protected - she needed their help. Her pocket began vibrate with the sound of her phone, the ring tone making her laugh when she realised what Willow had set for her number, the Scooby Do theme!
“Hey Will’s no luck yet, you any idea yet why I’m looking for?” she listened to her friend. “Yeah well that’s really sweet Willow but I am freezing my ass off, its colder than London. …………… Well ok ……..wait a minute I think she’s been through here.” Buffy turned the corner and saw the bodies of the boys. She crouched down examining their necks. There was no blood left. It had all been sucked out leaving the bodies cold and grey, dispite the time frame.
“Willow, they’ve found her, I’ve got to go and find her before she’s next.” She hung up the phone and ran the rest of the way down the road seeing the dark grotty exterior of the rock club her sources said the girl was a regular at. She entered the dark building handing over the money at the desk without even looking at the attendant. The body guards watched as she entered the door. Her eyes scowered the floor looking for any sign of the girl. She had a vague description of the person she was looking for. Blonde, short with a nasty temper when provoked. She liked the sound of the girl already. She couldn’t find out a name for her, which seemed strange but she hope that would be rectified soon.
Looking at the clientele, she thought a blonde would be easy to spot amongst the gothic customers.
Her theory was proven right. She saw a girl sat at the bar surrounded by who she assumed was her friends, a bottle of vodka sat next to her. She began to walk over to her but was stopped when she saw a familiar sight. A tall bleached blonde figure sat by her, talking to her, consoling her, but it couldn’t be him. He has gone out in his blaze of glory again with Angel.
Andrew had let slip about his return, but Buffy had let it slide knowing her Spike come home to her when he was ready, when he had got over his ego macho trip. It couldn’t be him though, he wasn’t setting off her vampire radar. She came closer feeling the heart beat pulsating in her ear, the warmth radiating from his skin, how could this happen? She coulndt believe it. She wanted to run over and hug him kiss him but something was stopping her. She wanted to laugh cry anyting just to let him know she was there, but all she could do was hold back and tears and choke out her words.
She watched the group consouling there friend. The closesness of them all, she missed that with the scoobies. since sunydale they had all gone there seperate ways. Still there to avert any forcoming wars but never there when she needed to talk. Wanted to hang out with a familiar face. She was alone!
Her heart welled as she moved closer. She still loved him, even though he didnt believe her. She ached for him. She just wanted him to hold her again, make her feel safe, just as he had done before the end. she trtched out her arm, placing a light hand on his shoulder relisihing in the warm skin that was under her, the feeling she wanted for so long but never thought it would happen. He was the living dead, but what happened to make him become human. What had made her dreams come true? Her voice trembled hoping it was him, wanting it more and more.
“Spike?”
