The Vampire Slayer Diaries

Smashed

At the Northman house, curled up in bed. Victoria slept soundly for the first time in months. There was a peaceful and relaxed look on her face. Beside her was her bleach blonde mate, he looked just as soundless as she did. His head was on her pillow as they laid sort of in the middle of the bed while she laid wrapped up in his arms feeling safe and secure. 

Both of them were covered with only Victoria's comforter with their bare skin brushing up against the other. 

Small Dream (3rd pov)

Victoria was standing on top of a familiar waterfall, the moonlight made her fangs sparkle. She had a smile on her face knowing what dream this was and stared down at the pretty water. It was the most beautiful place she had seen a million times. The night was warm and the scene was perfect. 

Sensing someone behind her she turned; her smile grew bigger spotting her mate. 

Spike smiled at her, the light in his eyes made hers glow brighter. He stepped up to her wrapping his arms around her and pulled her as close as she could be. 

They said nothing as Spike leaned down and brushed his lips against hers and gently kissed her. 

Wrapping her arms up around his neck, she brought him down closer. 

Suddenly they were torn apart when a noise caught their attention before they could turn, a thunk was heard and Victoria's body filled with an intense fire of pain. 

"Tor..." 

Spike and Victoria looked at each other, Spike had a strange look in his eye. His skin was pasty white and he looked like he was in pain. Victoria's eyes glanced down finding an arrow protruding from her mate's chest. She quickly looked back at Spike. 

"No.." 

Tori shook her head. 

Spike just smiled at her, his skin turning to pasty ash. 

"I love you." 

Tori went to reach for him but her hand was met with nothing but air. Victoria's eyes went wide. 

"No! NO!" 

Victoria let out a screaming cry...

End Of Dream'

Back to Victoria sleeping in bed, her eyes shot awake as she stared up at her ceiling. Her entire body was shaking. Turning her head she looked over spotting Spike and covered her mouth to keep her from crying out. They were still laying in their same position they fell asleep in with Spike's head touching hers. It was their usual way of sleeping.

She stared at him seeing the gentle look on his face. Spike just slept soundly. Tori watched him take in shallow breaths that he didn't need but the sounds of his breathing calmed her down a little. Her eyes trailed to the comforter that laid over them and frowned, slowly she lifted the blanket. Quietly she laid her hand on his chest where his heart would be, not seeing any signs of injury or arrow. Tori sighed in relief. 

Tenderly stroking the spot with her thumb, she looked back up at her mate's sleeping face. Spike's head moved closer rubbing his forehead against hers subconsciously making her grin seeing this side of him. 

She continued watching his gentle side, who knew Spike liked to cuddle.

(Tori POV)

Buffy and I were out on a night patrol, after the last event that happened, I was happy that we were slowly getting back on track all of us except for Willow but I don't really know how to help her. Anyway, we were patrolling when we came across a married couple. They looked to be fifty years old and terrified, two shadowy figures were standing in front of them.
