Apocalypse
Apocalypse
Spike stood there with Lizzie in his arms. He smiled, allowing their love to envelope him. “Tell me again,” he whispered.
She looked up into his eyes. “So greedy all of a sudden,” she teased.
He touched her cheek then kissed her lightly. “I just need to hear it.”
Her eyes softened as she laid her hand over his heart. “I love you,” she sighed as he kissed her once more.
Suddenly, Spike felt the earth rumble around him, unsure if it was the effect of being in her arms again or an actual earthquake. The earth shook harder under his feet and they were pulled away from each other.
Spike looked up as an angry blast of fire shot up from the earth behind her.
She turned, watching in horror as more tongues of fire spurted out of the ever growing chasm.
From out of the fiery pit a large demon emerged. He reached out and grabbed Lizzie by her throat.
“LIZZIE!” Spike screamed.
He watched helplessly as the demon broke her neck with a simple flick of his wrist and plunged its hand into her chest. Lizzie’s eyes flew wide before she evaporated into dust.
“NO!!!”
Spike shot up in his bed shaking.
It was just a dream. He concentrated, trying to calming himself. He had to be strong. If he gave in to his panic, Lizzie would feel it.
***
Across town at the exact same moment that Spike had bolted up from his slumber, William did as well.
His nightmare still lingered in his mind. It started nice enough, Lizzie telling him that she loved him. Kisses. Then before he knew it, he was knocked to the ground as a demon emerged for a fiery pit. Lizzie was in the hands of a demon, hanging helplessly in the air, while he could do nothing but watch it destroy her.
He turned and saw Lizzie still asleep. She frowned and stirred a little, then settled back down.
William tried not to let it affect him, but to him, it wasn’t just a nightmare. He’d had these dreams before. He knew without a doubt that it was prophetic.
William lay back and drew Lizzie tightly against him. He kissed her head and closed his eyes. “It won’t happen,” he whispered. “I won’t allow it.”
**
The next night Lizzie and William sat in the Giles living room with the rest of The Scoobies. Willow and Rupert were hunched over the scroll.
“What’s the verdict?” Xander asked.
Willow and Rupert exchanged a look.
“It’s still not completely deciphered. When we thought it foretold the return of The Master we were mistaken. It was not taking about The Master of The Hellmouth. From what we can gather, it tells of the rising of Eligor, a demon who was the bringer of war, poisoners, pariahs, grand obscenity, and also the wretched Master of the Apocalypse. That is what it meant. The Master of the Apocalypse. Leader of the Damned,” Rupert said, cleaning off his glasses.
“Helluva a title,” Lizzie commented.
Willow turned and faced Lizzie. “Also the bringer of the end of all that is good and righteous,” she whispered.
Everyone is the room sat silent.
“Which always translates into the end of The Slayer,” Dawn finally said what they were all thinking, her eyes brimming with tears.
William reached out for her and she ran into his arms. “Come on Bit, it will take a lot more than one demon to take me out,” he teased gently. He reached out for Lizzie and she took his hand.
He looked at his father. “So how do I kill it?” he asked.
“That’s the problem, son. We don’t know how. It states nothing of this earth can defeat Eligor,” Rupert said.
“You said the scroll wasn’t fully deciphered,” Lizzie interjected.
“Right. We’re still working on it,” Willow said, looking down at it.
Rupert was staring at William. Lizzie saw the look in his eyes. “You’re holding something back. What is it?” she demanded.
Rupert looked down, unable to meet her eyes.
“Da, what is it?” William asked.
He released a heavy sigh. “It tells how Eligor was able to ascend from his hell dimension. Eligor was worshipped by The Order or Aurelius.” He continued to look down. “The Order or Aurelius is a sect of vampires who are descendents of the twelfth century prophet, Aurelius. His prophecies included the coming of to Eligor to help them defeat the Slayer. “It was foretold, a member of the line of the Order would open the portal and allow him through.” Rupert said.
Lizzie closed her eyes. “Me, it was me,” she whispered.
William looked at his father, confused when he said nothing to negate Lizzie’s deduction.
“Darla, Spike’s Sire, was in the Order wasn’t she? Because Spike turned me, I am part of the Line. That’s what you didn’t want to tell us,” she said.
Rupert crossed his arms. It hadn’t taken much for Rupert to discover these facts about her. Darla was a very powerful vampire, favored by many of demons and vampires alike. The fact that Spike killed her so easily was still a mystery to most. She was a member of the Order as Lizzie had deduced, and of The Line.
William stared at his father. “Da, that’s a bit farfetched don’t you think?” he asked, trying to not sound as though he was pleading with his father. He could see the despair in Lizzie’s eyes.
“No, it makes sense. Giles said I was rejected in the hell dimension because of my soul. When I was sent back, I opened the portal. That’s how Spike got out too. And now...now the world is going to end because of me.”
William knelt in front of Lizzie. “This isn’t your fault.” He insisted.
“How can you say that?” she demanded.
“Da, this is not doing any of us any good,” William said, turning back and facing his father.
The whole room began to talk at once.
“WAIT!” Dawn screamed. The room turned to face her. “Where’s Lizzie?” She cried.
William scanned the room.
Lizzie had disappeared
