I awoke to the sound of bacon frying. How did I know it was bacon? It was coming from the kitchen. I shouldn’t have been able to hear it. Weird thing was I could smell it too. I opened my eyes and glanced towards the door. It was closed.

My heart sped up. I was freaking out. I could feel Spike…I knew exactly where he was. Standing in front of the stove, frying bacon. My breath started coming faster…almost panting.

Suddenly I could feel Spike walking towards me…towards the bedroom, it’s at the end of the hall. I felt him stop. I felt the fear and wonderment he was feeling. Then I heard the crash. It was so loud! He had dropped the tray he was carrying. I launched myself out of bed and went running for the door. I ripped it open almost taking it off the hinges.

There was Spike, standing amidst the debris that had fallen from his hands, tears silently coursing down his face. He didn’t even look at me as I approached him. His eyes were glued to a spot behind my head. If I would have taken a moment to think about it I would have remembered what I had put there, but the look on his face…my brain stopped working. All I wanted to do, all I felt there was at that moment was a need to comfort my mate.

I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him close to me. I didn’t feel the glass cutting into my foot at all.

“Buffy…” Spike whispered. “Is it really true?” He asked glancing once again over my shoulder.

“What?” I growled as I caught the scent of my blood. ~ Since when can I smell my own blood…? ~ I thought desperately. I felt something change. I felt a change happening. I don’t know how to describe it. Spike grasped my shoulder and turned me around. What I saw in that mirror shocked me so badly that I fainted. I have NEVER and I do mean never fainted in my life.

With Buffy to take care of Spike put his emotions on hold. He had his arms around her before she fell, and lifted her effortlessly. He carried Buffy over to the bed and went about pulling the shard of glass from her foot.

He gently licked the wound clean. Spike called Buffy’s name. When he got no response he went and got a washcloth. He ran cool water over it, staring unbelievingly in the mirror the whole time.

He quickly returned to the bedroom and ran the cloth over Buffy’s flushed face. Still no response. Spike tried everything he could think of. After fifteen minutes he started to freak out a little. He’d never seen Buffy faint before, and she wasn’t waking up no matter what he tried.
~~~~~~~

“Please hurry Watcher. I don’t know what to do…I…I’m wiggin out here…” Spike practically screamed into the phone.

“Calm down Spike…it will take me five minutes to get there…” Giles soothed.

“You don’t understand…” Spike murmured desperately. “She’s my world and I can’t…”

“I’ll be there soon.” Giles answered.
~~~~~~~~

“Buffy…Luv please wake up…Baby please…You’re really scaring me…” I heard him whispering into my hair. I opened my eyes and felt his body surrounding me. His face was buried in my hair, arms around me, one leg thrown over both of mine. It was like he couldn’t get close enough. “Love you so much pet…please…”

I could hear the tears in his voice. I growled softly and bit hard into his neck, the very spot I’d made my claim. Spike howled in delight. I sucked a little of his blood into my mouth savoring the taste. “Baby…You’re awake…” He sang happily pulling back to look into my eyes.

“Yeah…Spike…was that real? With the mirror?” I asked the question burning in my brain.

“Yeah Baby…I could see myself…and something happened to you Luv…I mean other than the fainting…” He saidtly tly looking into my eyes.

“Wh…what do you mean?” I asked, I was kinda freaked already.

“When I smelled your blood…the exact moment I did…so did you. I could tell cause your eyes flashed yellow. You didn’t get any wrinklies but…” Spike pulled back even further, glancing at me.

“Spike…something weird is going on…” I explained to him what I had been feeling since I woke up.

“Watcher should be here soon…I called him when I couldn’t wake you.” Spike said softly pulling me closer to him. I leaned my head on his chest. “Spike…your heart is beating…” I whispered. I listened harder and heard it speed up.

“It…It can’t be Buffy…” Spike whispered back.

“It is…Spike I can hear it…” I grabbed his hand and placed it over his chest. The look of shock on his face was priceless. It matched mine I’m quite positive of that.

The doorbell rang making us both jump out of our skin.
~~~~~~

“Fascinating…” Giles murmured cleaning his glasses. He’s done that forever. Since the first day I met him. It’s a typical Giles thing to do in ANY situation. He glanced back and forth at Spike reflected in the mirror, and Spike sitting on the bed. “I don’t have a clue as to why or even what has happened here…”

“Giles…that’s not all…” I told him what else had happened.

“I…Wait…is that the amulet?” Giles asked walking over to the dresser and fingering it’s heavy chain.

“Yeah…Angel had it…Why?” I asked.

“I want to take it with me…do some research on it…” Giles said glancing over his shoulder at us.

Spike nodded and pulled me closer.
~~~~~~~~

I feel caged. I want to go out patrolling. Like we used to. Back in Sunnydale.

“Please Spike…” I pouted.

“If we go for a while…then you’ll come celebrate with your friends?” Spike asked. It was weird him trying to convince me to hang with them, but I wanted him all to myself…I didn’t want to hang with anyone. They wanted to celebrate the fact that they got the council up and running again. I just wanted to hunt and then come home and make love to Spike.
~~~~~

We hit the cemeteries first. We were in the last one and we hadn’t come across anything to fight. I was getting really antsy. Spike could tell. He grabbed me and pulled me close. I could feel his hardness pressing into my stomach. “Spike…I want you…” I whispered pulling back to look into his eyes.

“Want you too…” He panted.

Suddenly I felt the tingle that said vampires were approaching. I whirled around quickly. There were six of them. ~ Three each. ~ I shrugged and punched the nearest one. It seemed the fight only lasted seconds, they were all dust and Spike’s eyes locked with mine. I felt an animalistic urge to have him inside me. I walked over to him and pulled him in for a searing kiss. He pressed up against me and I felt how much he wanted me.

I turned around and pulled my jeans down to my knees. I bent and placed my hands on a nearby tombstone. “I need you inside me…” Before I even finished speaking I could feel him entering me. His coat fell around me as he thrust in and leaned over me. I moaned and arched into him. His scent mixed with the leather of his duster was intoxicating.

He was panting in my ear. “Love you so much Buffy…” He murmured. He snaked his arm around my waist and his clever fingers found my clit. He had me screaming his name within seconds, I clenched my slayer muscles and felt his release inside me. It was warm. It felt incredible.

“Love you…” I whispered.

“Love you too…” He said softly. Spike placed a sweet kiss on my neck and then pulled my jeans up my legs. I buttoned them and turned to watch him. He was watching me as he did up his pants.

We both grinned. “Time to go meet the scoobies?” I asked.

“Yeah Luv. We should at least stop in on our way home…” He purred seductively. “If you’re a really good girl I may have a treat for you at home…”

“Really? Let’s hurry then.” I murmured as I grabbed his hand.
~~~~~~~

“Are you sure this is the place?” I asked. If I would have known what was waiting on the other side I would have ran, dragged Spike all the way home. But how was I to know that my past…indiscretions…would catch up with me?

“Yeah…Blue Lagoon…S’ what Red said…” he smiled at me.

“Ok. Let’s go…” I tugged on his hand. We entered the Club and saw them right away. Spike and I made our way over and sat down. The club was pretty packed.

“Hey guys!” Willow greeted enthusiastically. “The band is coming back right away…they’re great.”

Suddenly there was silence in the club as the band started to play. I looked up and saw him take the stage. The lead singer. Leather duster billowing around his legs, staling around on the stage like he owned the place. ~ SHIT! ~

“Come dance with me Luv.” Spike murmured in my ear. I was too shocked to protest. I let him lead me to the dance floor. Suddenly his voice started to sing. I felt weak. Spike was gonna find out. There was no doubt about that now.

Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
I can't believe you're gone.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

“You Ok Luv?” Spike asked.

I nodded against his shoulder. I didn’t trust my voice. I knew it would betray me.

Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

“You sure Luv? Seems like you’re upset…” Spike. He knew me too damned well.

“We need to talk…” I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. “Spike…can we go outside?” I felt the tears start to slowly descend my face.

Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But I've been hit by lightening.
Just can't stand up for fallin' apart.
Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

He pulled me close. “Buffy…what ever it is Luv…I’ll understand.” Spike whispered into my ear. “You’re looking at me like there’s something you have to tell me but don’t want to.” See! He knows me too well.

Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

“I’m scared Spike. I…I don’t’ want you to hate me…” I couldn’t help the sob that escaped my suddenly too tight throat.

Spiek grabbed my chin and forced me to look into his eyes. “I could NEVER hate you Buffy…I love you so much…” He leaned in and kissed me softly. Reassuring me of his love.

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

“I love you too…so much Spike…” I kissed him softly.

Wherever you go,ll bll be with you.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

I took his hand and led him from the club before the song ended.

Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Wherever you go, I'll be with you.
And whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
