Sticking with you.
Chapter one: Just a normal night in a cemetery.
As Buffy Summers walked from her house to the cemetery she knew people must think she was stark raving mad. As soon as she had left her house on Revello Drive, she had started talking and complaining to herself.
She and Riley had had a fight that afternoon about Buffy’s slaying technique, and it had really annoyed the pants off her. Now she was ready to go and hit something. Preferably something large, platinum blond and dead, but any nasty would do.
“Who does he think he is? Telling me how I should and shouldn’t slay. I’ve been doing this gig longer than he has.” As she walked, still her rant continued, alerting anyone to her presence.
As she approached the cemetery she pulled her stake out from where it was concealed up her sleeve of her coat. However as she walked through the gates she didn’t lower her voice at all. She didn’t care what beasties of the night heard her; she was just itching for a good fight, to relieve some of this tension that was filling her.
“Where does he get off, telling me, just because he thinks he’s better, sure he has fancy weapons and probably a longer life span, but this is my calling. You can’t tell someone how to do their calling.”
“Your calling tell you you’re going to die now?” Buffy rolled her eyes at the lame comeback from the vampire that was walking towards her. He looked like he walked straight out the ‘80’s, which he probably had. Buffy could never understand why vampires dressed in the clothes from the decade they where killed in. Did they get the idea of changing clothes? Not that it matter to her, it just made them all easier to spot.
Holding up her stake tightly she squared off against him. “Geez, where’d you come up with that line?” Not waiting for him to answer, she struck.
Running at him, she was a flurry of speed, kicking him in the back of the knee caps and then full force in back, where she heard several ribs break, the vampire went down. As he lay still on the grass totally winded and unable to move, he waited for his extinction. Buffy answered his prayers, as she plunged her stake into his none beating heart and a few seconds later all that remained was a big pile of dust.
As she stood up and wiped dust off her new winter coat, her curled hair bounced in the night air. Pouting, she looked at where the vampire had been. It had been too easy, he hadn’t even put up a decent fight. It hadn’t succeeded in getting rid of her foul mood.
Carrying on walking deeper into the cemetery she picked her rant where she had left off. “But of course he is going to live longer, he has government funding. What do I get? Gah!”
Approaching a group of what appeared to be eight vampires who seemed to be huddled around a grave stone, Buffy sneaked up behind them. Plunging her stake into the nearest vampire, he evaporated into a cloud of dust, turning all the attention of the other vamps to her.
“Is this a private party or can anyone join in?” Buffy spoke with her best cheerleader smile.
The vampires all turned to surround her, growling as they did. Buffy could tell that they where all starved and could probably just smell her blood pumping in her veins. As they circled her, Buffy reached for her stake once again. “Guess so.”
Ducking down, she knocked the feet out from one of the vampires, a short podgy one with blond hair. He went sprawling taking another one with him. Using a large stick, she pushed it through the heart of the podgy vampire, then straight through the heart of the vampire directly under him. Killing two dead birds with one stone. Three down, five to go.
Twirling gracefully she spun round to face a tall thin one, with ginger hair and a ginger goatee who was running at her. Using the gravestone behind her as leverage, she clocked him with both feet, full force. The vampire went flying backwards and ended up impaled on a tree, where he suddenly burst in dust.
Taking all her stress out on the vampire facing her she punched him squarely in the jaw, and then over and over again. So taken with beating this vamp to a pulp she didn’t notice the one approaching behind her. That was until he grabbed her roughly round the neck, successfully pulling her away from the vampire she was so engrossed with, said vampire slumped to the floor, barely recognisable.
As she twisted and turned in the vampire’s tight hold, she knew she couldn’t get away. As she kicked her legs out she managed to stop the other three vampires getting close however she couldn’t get the one holding her to loosen his grip.
“Where’s your snappy comeback now little girl?” Kicking her legs out she managed to kick one of the remaining vamps onto the same tree that she had killed the fourth vamp on. Refusing to let this be the end of her or to let Riley be right, she fought hard against her restraints. However it seemed useless.
The suddenly the pressure vanished and Buffy was able to move again. Turning round she saw Spike fighting with the vamp that had just held her.
“Spike!” Buffy shouted over. The blond vampire looked over at the pissed slayer.
“What?” Spike stared at her.
Hearing a vampire approach her, Buffy turned to see him running full speed at her. Without stopping she pulled out a stake and plunged it into his heart, before turning back to Spike.
“That’s my vampire, Spike, I was in control of the situation.” Buffy stood there with her hands on her hips.
Spike just chuckled at her as he continued to trade blows with the vampire that had been strangling Buffy. “Oh yeah pet, you really looked like you where in control of the situation. What with him just about to bite your neck and all.”
The last remaining vampire saw his chance and tried to storm at Buffy, who had sensed his attack. Spinning around herself, she punched him in the face while continuing to trade jibes with Spike.
“I knew what I was doing! God Spike, you’re as bad as Riley.”
“Oooh. So your comparing me to captain cardboard now? I could show you some things he couldn’t pet.” Spike raised his eyebrows at her, implying his meaning.
“God Spike. Could you be any more strange?” Punching the vamp in front of her so hard his head snapped back, she turned to Spike. “Switch.”
Then gracefully, as though they where a dancing duet, they two fighters twirled around each other in such a flurry of motion that the vampires had no idea what was happening. Coming to a halt, Buffy now stood in front of the vampire that Buffy had been fighting, while Spike stood in front of the one Buffy had just hit particularly hard.
As the fighting commenced again, Spike kicked the vampire sending him flying back into one of the graves, shattering the stone.
“Good going Spike, Someone’s gonna have to pay for that.”
“Yeah, well not me.” Spike sneered at her. God, the girl could be infuriating.
Grabbing her stake from where it had fallen on the floor, she took the opportunity when her opponent was pre-occupied with what was going on around him between Buffy and Spike, to plunge the stake through his heart.
With her hands on her hips she then turned to face Spike, Who was just dusting his vampire at the same time.
“Well then Mr, want to tell me what exactly you are doing here?” Buffy glared daggers at the obnoxious vamp.
“What I’m doing here? I’ll think you’ll find missy that I live here. Therefore have full right to be here. What the hell were you doing here?”
“Er, my job! God Spike could you be any more thick?” The two had started to walk towards each other.
“Oh so it’s your job to let Vamps feed on you then is it. ‘cus wish I’d known that.” He eyed her neck up appreciatively.
“You’re a pig Spike.” Buffy glared at him but she didn’t stand down.
“So says you love.” Tearing his eyes away from her neck that was just pumping with blood, he stared into her pissed off eyes.
“Then you had the nerve to come here and steal my vampire!”
“Your vampire?!” Spikes voice had started to rise quite loud now. “I think you’ll find pet, that your vampire was about to kill you. I saved you. A lot of good that did me.”
“Spike, you’re worthless, you could never save me.”
“Oh, you better watch your pretty mouth slayer.” The pair took a menacing step closer to each other.
However before either could make a move towards the other, there was a large flash, which sent them both reeling onto the floor. The wet grass caused Buffy to get a wet arse as she sat there and stared at where the flash had materialised.
Sat side by side next to each other on the floor, Buffy and Spike worked their eyes up the tall robed legs, up the thin body, to the face of the slender man stood before them. They stared at him with disbelief as he began to speak.
