1997 Again: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fanfic

Chapter 5

As Buffy made love to Angel, she had a feeling that came over her as she sensed someone was in danger. As much as she longed to stay in bed with Angel, she just couldn't...not when someone could be in trouble. So as she got up from Angel's embrace, and got her clothes on, Buffy made a hasty exit from Angel's pad and found her way to the center of Sunnydale, only to realize it was Spike who was in trouble.

Something inside Buffy fueled Buffy's fire as she jumped on the minions and banished them to hell right before Spike's eyes.

"Buffy!" Spike said surprised to see her.

"Something couldn't keep me away." Buffy said as she moved in for a kiss, but a minion that had been hiding from them sprang up from behind Spike and struck him in the heart with a stake, sending Spike straight to hell.

"Spike!" Buffy yelled out. "Noooooooooo!"

Buffy couldn't believe that Spike was gone. And at the time when she realized it was Spike she loved. Not Angel.

As she walked on through Sunnydale, she ran into Giles who had come out of his store when he saw her out.

"Buffy?" Giles called after her, but Buffy just kept walking, oblivious to the sound of Giles' voice.

"Buffy?" Giles said when he reached Buffy and grabbed her shoulder.

"Who are you?" Buffy said when she turned around to see who was behind her, not recognizing her trainer.

"Buffy, it's me...Giles."

"Go away." Buffy ranted.

"What's wrong?"

"He's gone!" Buffy moaned. "Spike's gone!"

"Buffy, you know that." Giles reminded her. "Spike died a year ago."

"No, he died tonight." Buffy looked at Giles confused.

"No, Buffy, you're mistaken."

"But I saw him...fighting some minions." Buffy explained. "I fought them all off...except..."

"Buffy, whatever you're remembering tonight...it didn't happen because Spike couldn't have been there."

"You're wrong!" Buffy said as she tore herself away from Giles grasp.

"Why were they all lying to her?" Buffy wondered. She saw it...with her own two eyes. Spike...fighting the minions...until she fought them all off and banished them all to hell. Except for one. Who was hiding from them. Snuck up and killed Spike. Spike was gone. Her Spike. Gone.
