Clara's pov Spike and I haven't left my house or the bed in days. I chuckle "I have to show my face atleast spike they're going to think I'm dead" as he kisses at my neck. He mutters "fuck them" "why? So I can fuck you?" I ask with a chuckle. He chuckles "that's the idea pet" I roll my eyes and get dressed in

He whistles at me and I chuckle. He kisses me softly "have a good day. Call me if you need anything" I kiss him "stay out of trouble spike" he chuckles "I am the trouble pet" I chuckle "keep telling yourself that" "hey! I'm evil" he exclaims. I reply "oh absolutely." Nodding to him and he grabs me and shows me his fangs and I raise an eyebrow at him. "I'm evil!" He exclaims again.
I kiss him and say "very evil" and I leave him there to himself. I'm met with Giles "where have you been?" Spike and I decided not to let anyone know about us....yet. I reply "taking care of spike" buffy asks "did he hurt you?" I chuckle "he can't. Not with that chip in his head and not only that we're close. He wouldn't" Xander asks "why the radio silence?" I say "I was making sure he'd survive what those assholes did to him"
Giles says "he's your protector isn't he?" Buffy asks "what does that even mean? You've said it before" Giles says "her kind are assigned protectors. Kind of like a watcher, but their bond is unlike any other. They feel one another's pain, can read eachothers thoughts. Spike is that for you isn't he Clara?" "Spike is the last shred of my humanity that I have left." I reply. Willow says "Clara were your friends you could've came to us or told us?" I ask "you all abandoned me when I needed you the most, why would I trust you with anything?" "Clara-" Xander tries. I shake my head "no. You'd have rather have me dead than try and understand my agony. I wake up and I feel like dying, and it lasts all and every day. I watched and felt them all die. Their protectors died right after so I don't have them either. I lost everything. And my pain made me do things I'm not proud of. Things that haunt me more than you could ever know. And instead of trying to be here for and with me you left! You all fucking left and plotted to kill me. God knows I wish your attempts succeeded! I was lost and spike came back. And he's accepted me for who and what I am now. He's accepted that I'm not Clara from months ago. So yes. He is my protector." "Clara!" Buffy tries and I storm out and she comes after me "you shut us out" she continues. "Because I realized what I am to you. A means to an end, a weapon" "you're not-" she tries and I chuckle "you forget I can read all of your minds. You want my power but not me with it. Take it. I don't want it. And honestly? I don't want shit to do with you guys anymore" and I leave her there and go to class.
