E-mail me at............ G90210@aol.com Darkness and Light by:mInDy Have you ever looked, At where the sun meets the shadow. Both the same, Yet so different. One so opening, And inviting. One so cold, And hostile. The dark is him, And the light is me. Both the same, Yet so different. And we're both stuck inbetween. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 12:32:47 EDT From: G90210 Subject: BUFFYFIC: BBETA: Life's A Bitch (4a/?) AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was just a thought I had one day. Because Buffy has to deal with stuff, most people don't think exist(right they don't, come on now for my own mentalness, they don't!) What about when she has to face real stuff, like real diseases. I don't know why I thought of this, but oh well I did. TITLE: Life's A Bitch AUTHOR: mInDy (G90210@aol.com or LoveAVamp@aol.com) SUMMARY: I don't know how to write one to this, so read.......it's about Buffy and Angel for those of you who it matters too. SPOILERS: None at the moment. TIME LINE: After S/I IMPORTANT: Angel IS good in my story, he does has soul, and the curse can't be broken this time. DISCLAIMER: I own nothing!! WARNING: Major character dies. Look at the title and the language will be explained. Life's A Bitch by: mInDy *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* When Buffy woke up, she looked next to her and saw Angel laying next to her, and the events of the night before came flashing back. She wanted to take a shower so badly. She got up, and carefully got off the bed, careful, not to wake Angel up. She walked into the bathroom crying, and turned on the water. That got Angel up. It took him a minute, to realize what had happened, and who was in his bathroom. Once he did, he ran in the bathroom, and held Buffy back before she got in the shower. "Buffy, DON'T take a shower!" Angel screamed at her. Buffy looked confused and asked, "Why?" "Because, Buffy, if you take a shower, you'll wash off anything that could help identify who the guy is, who raped you." "Oh, ok.......so when am I gonna go to the doctor's then, I don't wanna go alone." Buffy said, looking so young and innocent, why would anybody hurt, Angel thought. "I call Willow, ok?" "Ok." Angel went and called Willow, and told her everything, that happened. Willow was over in a matter of minutes to help her friend. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* TBC... I know it's short, but it has been sitting on my desk forever now, thought I send what I've got! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 12:41:38 EDT From: G90210 Subject: BUFFYFIC: BBETA: Questions Unanswered *POEM* Here is another poem, again, I am begging for feedback!!!! Buffy's POV. E-mail me at...... G90210@aol.com DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. Questions Unanswered by mInDy Once in a lifetime, You find the one you love for all of time. I found mine, But the love he gave in return is gone. One night of passion, Turned my world upside down. One night of love, Ruined my life. Will I ever have him back? Will we ever have a love like before? So many questions ask, But somebody was told, Not to answer them. Someone was told to make me suffer, But is he suffering too? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 14:10:38 EDT From: Jaclyn Amy Subject: BUFFYFIC:The Watcher (8/8) This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - --part0_893009438_boundary Content-ID: <0_893009438@inet_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII - --part0_893009438_boundary Content-ID: <0_893009438@inet_out.mail.aol.com.2> Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline From: Jaclyn Amy Return-path: To: JaclynAmy@aol.com Subject: BUFFYFIC:The Watcher (8/8) Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 14:09:38 EDT Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit The Watcher (8/8) by Jaclyn Amy TITLE: The Watcher AUTHOR: Jaclyn Amy@aol.com RATING: PG/PG-13 SUMMARY: This takes place four years later while the Buffy gang is attending Montague University near Sunnydale. Angel’s soul has been permanently restored, and he is 100% human. Jenny Calendar is still alive. Buffy will be getting a new Watcher. DISTRIBUTION: Ask me first. DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters from or the movie or show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They were created by Joss Wheden and are owned by 20th Century Fox, Sandollar Television, Mutant Enemy, etc. No infringement intended. FEEDBACK: Please be nice; I’m still a newbie. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------ Buffy lay in the hospital bed for about three days. Giles, Xander, Cordelia, Oz, and Angel had come to see her numerous times, but Willow hadn’t come by since the day she brought her. Buffy conscience hurt more than any of her injuries did. She would never forget the look of hurt on her friend’s face. Sure, Spike and Drusilla were dead, but at what price? She had given up her best friend and her favorite Watcher. //I acted like a total bitch// she thought. //If only I hadn’t-// Willow’s appearance interupted her thoughts. "Hey." "Hi." "How’re you feeling?" "Better. But I still am upset about what I said to you. Will, I wasn’t upset about you becoming my new Watcher; I was upset about losing Giles, and I took my anger out on you. I was acting like a real bitch. I’m really sorry." "It’s okay. I can understand about you not being ready to let go of Giles." "No, it’s not okay. Good friends don’t say stuff like that about other friends-no matter what." "We shouldn’t ruin our friendship just because of something as little as this. I’m sorry that I totally overreacted about how you felt. You have a right to your own opinions, even if I don’t like them. Friends?" "Friends." The girls hugged each other. "Sorry to interrupt," Giles said, "but I need to talk to both of you." "Giles!" Buffy cried. "You’re back!" "I’m afraid," he spoke, "that I’ve made a terrible mistake." "Like what?" asked Willow. "When I was researching the next Watcher, I make an error. Willow, you aren’t the Watcher." "What!?" the two girls cried in unison. "Um, the next person in line is Samuel Henry Champlain from Canada." "Giles," Willow cried in excitement, "so I’m not Watcher?" "Not at the present time. You will, however, be in line after Mr. Champlain." Buffy had a confused look on her face. "But then how did Willow kill Spike and Drusilla. She had incredible strength and fighting technique." "Uh, I’m not sure. You’ll have to talk to your new Watcher about that. As for me, I’ve got to go home and see Jenny. Good luck, Buffy. I’ve met your new Watcher before and he’s a very nice person. I’ll see you soon." "Bye." End of The Watcher - --part0_893009438_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 12:42:39 -0700 From: LadySun Subject: BUFFYFIC: A Stroke of Luck (part 5) For disclaimers see part one A Stroke of Luck (part 5) Spikes thoughts shifted... He'd forgotten about the pet he'd left in the cellar. A bit annoyed he got up, it was nighttime again, which means he had left her down there for a good 24 hours, if not more. His footsteps echoed through the warehouse, and he tried to push Drusilla out of his mind time being, so that he may check up on his new playmate. But the more he thought of the little red head, a *friend* of the slayers, the more enraged he became... ~ From below or saints above? ~ ~ You came to me ~ Swinging open the door, Spike walked into the room. Willow jerked up with a start, covering her eyes from the light as Spike walked over to her "Rise 'n Shine." Spike said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.. to hide the pain... "You were sleeping, right? Looked that way" He muttered, walking around the girl. Willow's eyes adjusted slowly to the light... "Let me go" She said meekly. Spike rolled his eyes, how'd he guess that'd be the first thing out of her mouth? "I promise I won't tell Buffy.. I-I can say I--" Spike put his hand up. "That's enough. I think we both know you're not going anywhere." "She'll come for me" Willow threatened "Yeah," Spike said "I'm counting on it" ~ Here comes the cold again ~ ~ I feel it closing in ~ Willow shivered inwardly. 'Counting on it?' she thought, then... If he was counting on Buffy coming to save her... she had no chance. He could use her dead or alive...Tears neared her eyes, though she wouldn't let them fall... He looked her up and down again, his first impression was (of course) that she was weak... Her hair clung to her face, and her eyes were framed in blue circles. She looked pretty pale too, though he thought nothing of it being trapped in a cellar for 24 hours, is hardly something to bring the colour out in your cheeks Spike reached his hand up to get a strand away from her eyes, Willow tried to jerk back, but was in an awful position to do so. ~ It's falling down and ~ ~ All around me falling ~ "Well." Spike sighed, walking quickly to the candle, picking up the key behind it. "Let's get you down" "What?" Willow's eyes fluttered, she thought she might be dreaming.. did he just say-- "Would you rather stay chained to a wall?" Spike asked cocking his head to the side waiting for her answer She looked downwards Spike laughed "course not." He continued to unlock the chains. As soon as the second lock was undone Willow fell. Right into Spike arms, for the second time. He leaned over to help her stand, pulling her up. "you okay?" Willow nodded, but made no move to stand Spike laughed again, and picked up her feet, and began to carry her. Willow's heart stop! She wanted to fight him off, to scream and rip out his heart... But she was so tired. She cursed herself for her weaknesses... This would never happen to Buffy she knew. But she wasn't a slayer, She was just Willow. Spike proceeded to carry her out of the cellar. He had no idea what he was going to do with the girl, but he was extremely bored, and sitting around moping was oddly getting him no where. So, he took her to the main room, and sat her down on top of the table. He steadied her so she might sit up, and not fall down. It worked. She sat there, staring off into space. Spike took a seat on some crates across from her. Only When he looked into her eyes did he see terror... Sure, he could've sensed it...and sure she tried to cover up, but once you get a taste of it....Well... Spike could just tell she was scared.. and with good cause too. "What are you..." Willow tried to speak, her voice trembling a bit. "I mean... are you..." Spike smiled. This would be good fun. Something to detour the hurt he felt, and something to do. Willow spoke up, hiding her fears "Are you going to kill me?" Smooth willow she chided herself. Of course he's gonna kill you. Your of no use to him! Or...maybe.. bait? She shook the inside of her head. Her thoughts were making her dizzy anyway's. When she finally got up the nerve to look at Spike was looking at her, he was just staring. She began to wonder if he was going to answer her question... He was a bit fascinated, she was pretty, he admitted. Somewhat of a mouse though. Not to mention one of the slayers bestest friends... Which made him want to kill her terribly much. "I don't quiet know yet" He finally answered. "Then why'd you hunt me?" Spikes eyes shot to hers, and she immediately looked away. "come again?" "You.. um.. You took me, and you locked me up.. in a dark.. um" Willow rubbed the large round bruises on her wrists not sure where she was going or what to say. "no, no." Spike declared "you said. Hunt. Hunted. Why did I hunt you?" Willow began to fill uneasy again. "*I* didn't hunt *you*" He hissed, getting up off the crate. "*I* didn't even hurt you." He said walking closer. "And, in case you haven't noticed your still" He said leaning over to look her directly in the eyes "*very* much alive" Willows eyes went huge. And her hands began to shake a bit in alarm and panic. She hadn't meant to anger him! Of course she hadn't meant to anger him! No one means to anger the person who is considering killing them! Spike continued to glare into her eyes. But he wasn't thinking of her. He didn't even see her. He saw Dru. It was her scared eyes he was looking into, not willows. It was Drusilla's trembles he felt, it Dru... It was Dru he remember, as he closed his eyes when a vision of her body exploding to dust came... He turned his chin away from Willow's. "Come 'mere, love" Spike asked, suddenly taking her shaking hands and leading her away... - -- ~ ` ~ LadySun ~ ` ~ http://home.earthlink.net/~kbleyle/SD/index.html 'We look before and After, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thought...'

Drusilla is making Buffy pay for supposedly killing Spike. Previous Stories: If you like this story but don't understand it, it's probally because you haven't read Vengeance.

Spoilers: Everything up to Killed By Death (just to be safe) Feedback: Please, good or bad, I need to know. The more feedback, the more writting I do! I won't care if you tell me this story is horrible, I just want to know. This story is something that happens after Killed By Death. Probally a Third season type story. This story has some pretty graphic descriptions and some people may be upset by the story. There is a PG-13 rating on this story however, there is no sex or sexual situations. Just some Buffy like language and violence. This story will go on for a while, or until I come up with a way to end it. The characters, Buffy, Xander, Willow, etc. belong to Joss Whedon, The WB, Sandollar, etc. ************ "Is everything ready?" "Yes," Xander and Willow said in unison. "Good. Now go," said a tall creature. "Dru, come here baby." Drusilla danced over to him with a smile on her face. "Are you sure this is what you want?" Dru smiled and looked into his eyes. "Yes, they betrayed me. I must know who loves me." "Okay, if you want it, you shall have it!" The man scooped her up into his arms and headed up stairs. ***** "You know what's going to happen to us." "Yeah, I'm not too worried though." Spike was almost sure of himself. "Really? You don't seem to intimidating all chained up and bloody like that." Angel was going to use words to hurt Spike since physical violence wasn't exactly an option. The large metal door opened again revealing Xander and Oz in the doorway. "Come on boys, time to play." They both entered the room with keys in their hands. Xander walked over to Spike and undid the lock on his hands. Spike fell forward to the ground, his feet still chained up. "Did you have to do my hands first?" Spike moaned out. "Well, if I did your feet first, it wouldn't be any fun." Xander smiled down at Spike's face that laid flat against the cold ground. He undid the locks on his feet and dragged Spike out of the room. Oz did the same for Angel and dragged him out after Spike. Drusilla stood by a large table next to the dark mysterious figure. The man wore a cape with a hood that covered his face. Willow stood off to a corner, excitement showing through her quiet expression. Xander and Oz dragged the two into the room and dropped them on the floor in front of Drusilla. "Oh good, the guests are here, now we can start the party," Drusilla said with an evil grin. "Not quite. You forgot me," Buffy said as she stood in the doorway of the large cathedral like room. "Buffy, you weren't invited." "Well you know me, I just love to crash." Buffy walked over and stood between Spike and Angel's bodies. "Well, since you're here, I guess we can start with the surprise." "Sounds good to me," Buffy said encouraging Drusilla to try something, anything. "I would like you to meet a friend of mine." Drusilla turned to the man and tilted her head, indicating for him to remove his hood. Buffy watched in horror as the tall demon she once called a friend revealed his face. The rumors were true. Once called upon, a demon would invade the body of a vampire and use the appearance as a weapon. Giles was Drusilla's vampire of choice. She laughed as she watched Buffy's face fade to a paler white than usual. "I think you two have met," Drusilla said still laughing hysterically. Giles didn't move as he watched Buffy's face switch between emotions.

The fact that she was a very powerful vampire would be her only advantage. Buffy smiled as she approached the table that stood between her and her enemies. "Don't just stand there. Let's get on with it. I'd like to be done by the time the sun comes up, if that isn't a problem for you two." "Not at all," Drusilla said sounding confused. She couldn't tell if Buffy's reaction was just an act. While Drusilla pondered Buffy's thoughts she was hit in the chin with the table. Buffy had flipped it up and hit her and Giles sending them falling to their backs. Buffy threw the table over at Willow who barely dodged it. Giles got to his feet and hit Buffy in the face with a hard punch. She turned her head away for a second and then hit him right back. Strength she never knew she had filled her body. Buffy punched him continuously preventing him from having the chance to strike back. All the anger that she had inside of her came out through her fists. Her punches and kicks got stronger each time. Finally she drew back for a final hit and struck him directly in the face. He was sent flying into a wall. Buffy went after him, drew out a stake and shoved it into his chest. The body exploded into dust. "Sorry Giles," Buffy mumbled under her breath. Buffy walked over and grabbed Drusilla by her shoulders, lifting her up into the air. "You made a big mistake coming here!" She threw her across the room. Spike watched her hit a wall and crawled over to her. "Dru, are you hurt?" "Spike," she said sincerely, as she saw the love in his eyes. "I'm here baby," He smiled at her perfect features that he missed so much over the years. "Spike, get away from her. This is my fight." Buffy charged towards them and Spike stood up to block her. "No, not anymore." Spike stood firmly in front of Drusilla. "Get *out* of my way. She is going to pay for what she did to me." "You don't see how alike you two are. Don't you get it? It's not her your mad at. It's him." Spike pointed at Angel who was still trying to understand what was going on. Buffy turned to look at Angel and then back at Spike. She stared at him, her face showing the confusion she was suffering from. "He made her insane. He killed everyone she loved. Who do you think taught her how to do it to you?" Spike looked down at Drusilla's face that looked almost sad. She could see all the death and pain that Angel caused her replaying in her mind over and over. "You're right. He's the one I've been mad at all these years. As the slayer and now as a vampire. Dru did what she did because she loved you. Now, that I still don't understand, but let's not get into that..." Buffy's words faded away as a smile replaced them. "Do you still have that book?" Buffy asked as wheels turned in her head. "Yeah...why?" "I just realized something." The pieces of the puzzle began to fit together. "Go get the book. We've got some work to do." Spike picked up Drusilla off the floor and left cautiously to get the book. "Buffy?" Xander said as he approached her from behind with Willow on his arm. "Huh?" Buffy said as she turned around to face them. "What are you going to do?" Willow asked, her voice sounding worried. "All this time, I never thought vampires were capable of love. As I watched Spike and Dru together, I realized, we are. It's just a matter of finding it." Oz joined Willow and Xander by Buffy and they all continued to stare at her confused. "I found it," Buffy said with a smile as she looked at Angel.

"The two of you love eachother right?" "Right," they said together. "Well, in case you hadn't noticed, you're not going to get anywhere with Angel around. "True," Spike said starting to understand her plan. Buffy turned to see Angel walking about across the room. "Hey Angel, come over here a second," Buffy requested. "What?" Angel said as he walked over to them, still slightly delirious from his head wounds. "What's the last thing in the world you want?" "There are lots of things, could you be more specific?" Angel's voice was sarcastic. "Would you say that having a soul is one of those things?" "What are you getting at Buffy?" Angel stared into her eyes trying to understand what she had up her sleeve. The rest of the group caught on to her idea and smiled at the thought. "What better way to make Angelus suffer than to bring back his favorite friend, Angel." Buffy looked up into Angel's fuming eyes as he realized what she had planned. "Not a chance," Angel said, almost positive that they wouldn't get away with it. "Well, Angel, there are six of us and one of you. Who do you think is going to win?" Buffy started to laugh as Angel tried to run away. Xander stepped into his path. "Nope." Angel tried to dodge him but again was blocked, by Oz. "Not this way either." Drusilla watched the fun and decided to join in. She broke away from Spike's embrace and walked over behind Angel. "Angel, darling." Angel spun around to feel Drusilla's hard left hook connect with his nose. He fell to the ground, unconscious. Something about that left hook that was just magical. "Where can I learn how to do that?" Willow asked, amazed that someone could actually knock him out. Drusilla turned around and danced her way back to Spike's arms with a smile on her face. "Now, let's get started," Buffy instructed and everyone went to work. ************************ End Part 11 - Send Feedback. Also, I need editors for my stories.
