Building Bridges
Chapter Two
Buffy was rudely awoken from a very pleasant dream the next morning by the witch's alarm clock. She listened, her eyes still closed, as the red head groaned and switched off the annoying sound. When she heard the door shut she sighed, slowly opening her eyes to the rays of the morning's sunshine that entered through the half open blinds.
She stretched her body, smiling at the twinges of her inner thigh muscles. Or rather at the memories that had caused them.
She got out of bed and walked to her cupboard to choose and outfit for the day before heading out for her own shower, her thoughts milling around what he'd said to her just before he left. *You're mine?*
_-_-_
Shower's having been taken the witch left the slayer to finish dressing while she went to get them some breakfast.
Buffy slipped on the low cut brown top over head, straightening the hem over her black cut-off trowsers. She crossed to the mirror to survey her choice and gasped at her reflection.
Twin puncture holes stared back at her from their position on her upper left breast.
She'd forgotten that he'd bitten her.
"Shit." Buffy murmured, hastily rummaging through her wardrobe for a different top twoulwould cover her cheast - so that there would be no chance of anyone seeing.
At the back of her cupboard she found what she was looking for. Nearly sobbing in relief she replaced the brown top for the red one that covered up to the baseher her neck and clung around her chest ensuring that it wouldn't slip down.
Fixing her hair and make-up the slayer left the room in a whush of vanilla perfum.

"Now, you NEVER patrol here." Buffy whispered to herself as she entered the woods near the edge of town.
For some reason her feet had carried her to all secluded area's that Sunnydale had to offer. So far she'd been able to give herself a reason for the beach, the hills looking over the motorway to LA and the woods at the other end of town.
*Having said that I have staked five vampires so not too much guilt, hey?* She almost convinced herself until she recalled her reason to be away from the town.
She stopped as she heard struggling about a hundred meters to her left. She took off at a quick jog, thankfull for the distraction from the direction by which her thoughts were headed.

"Where the fuck are you Slayer?" Spike growled quietly into the night as he moved through the woodland.
He'd been looking for her for nearly two hours. The bronze. The university campus. The watcher's house. Most of the graveyards.
He had concidered leaving it for a few days until he saw her but when the very thought of being buried inside her gave him a raging hard on that nothing would subdue he decided that for his own sanity he had to have her as soon as the sun set.
He was about to try the beach when his vampire senses twitched in time for his to deliver a sharp back kick to the commando behind him.
The soldier's gun fell to the ground meters behind him and he scrambled for it but the vampire kicked him in the stomach. Spike hauled him to his feet, about to sink his fangs into the man's neck when he shouted. He cried out a name and three other commando's came out of the trees, each one firing a blast of electricity at the vampire.
The unconscious vampire fell to the ground, his body still shaking, and dropped the commando, his head cracking on a tree rknocknocking him out. The three remaining men closed in on them. One moved to lift up the fallen soldier the other moving to collect their bounty.
Buffy delivered a sharp side kick to the back of one head, rendering the maconsconscious. Her other leg shot out kicking the gun out the second's hands as she threw her full strength into her right hand. puncpunch sent the man flying into a tree meters away, knocking him out as well.
The slayer turned to the final threat who had just dropped his friend and was attempting to load his gun. Buffy kicked him in the balls and he beant down to cup himself she grabbed his head; slammed her knee into his face rendering him unconscious.
Buffy looked around at the strewn commando-dressed guys before finally on the blond vampire. She hastily moved to his side, kneeing by his head as fear encompased her.
"Spike?" She said, running her hand across his cheek.
When one of the commando's stirred slightly she realised the danger of their position. Using her slayer strength she hooked her arms under his knees and behind his back and lifted him up.
She looked worriedly up at the sky and then around the wood. All she could see was trees. *The sun'll be up soon.*
The same commando groaned just as Buffy spotted a cave on the horizon. She hurried off toward the cave that she hoped was big enough for the both of them and would hide Spike from the sunlight.
