Subject: BUFFYFIC: My first ever fanfic -An Act of Love

Title: An Act of Love Prologue (part 1 of who knows how many)
Author: Misery4
Disclaimer: Don't own anything, I'm scum
Rating: Pg 13 (don't really know, this parts PG)
Summary: Buffy's reflecting on leaving Sunnydale, while in the bus. Will =
be
a Spike/Buffy fic eventually but not right now
Note to reader: This is my first fanfic ever so please be kind!! This par=
t
is just to get thoughts on what Buffy is feeling at the moment so I can d=
o
the next part, so it ain't that great


Buffy stared out the window.  The momentum of the bus was making her drow=
sy
but she could not sleep.  Inside she was crying, wishing she was with Gil=
es
and the others.  She knew she had made the right decision about killing
Angel.  There was nothing else she could have done, she had to save the
world=85=85=85again.=20

She thought of her Mom  back in Sunnydale, all alone.  She thought of the
good times they had had and the bad times they had struggled through
together.  Then she remembered her Mom's last words, "If you leave now,
don't ever think of coming back."  Those words hurt her more than she cou=
ld
admit, even now five days later she couldn't accept them.  She wished she
could have explained about being a Slayer, or at least been given a chanc=
e
to. Earlier she had thought of different ways she could have broke the ne=
ws
to her Mom and none of them she liked.  Only one could her Mom possibly
would have accepted and that was if Giles had told her.  Giles had a way =
of
phasing things and he made things sound so light and fun. Plus he enjoyed
saying "In every generation there is a chosen one=85=85". She could imagi=
ne him
smiling at the thought of the end of the world and laughing at the though=
t
of nuclear warfare.  Without realizing it Buffy laughed out loud but she
was saddened when she thought of Jenny.  Giles had loved her a lot and th=
e
way Angel had arranged the murder made Buffy scream with pain inside.=20
Buffy wished she was with Giles as he always helped her and advised her b=
ut
now she was alone.  She tried to take her mind of Sunnydale by looking ou=
t
the window.

Cars whizzed past, each going their separate ways with their separate liv=
es
and their separate dreams.  Buffy envied everyone of them, as they didn't
have to save the world, they got to enjoy it.  She hated being a Slayer.=20
She had felt this way when she had first moved to Sunnydale.  She had los=
t
all her friends, her family was split up and she knew nothing would ever =
be
the same.  Giles and the Slayerettes made her happy with her destiny, the=
y
helped her face it and accept it.  She remembered when Willow had said th=
ey
were the Slayerettes. The Slayer, the Watcher and the Slayerettes; a full
team.  Oh don't forget a vampire with a soul, a perfect addition to the
group, ready to fight evil then to fight good; a perfect team mate don't
you think? She hated Willow for being successful in restoring Angel's sou=
l.
 It had been so hard killing the one she loved and it would have been so
much easier to kill the one she hated.  She knew it wasn't Willow's fault
but she didn't know who to blame for all her pain.  She laughed at hersel=
f
when she realized she had begun thinking about Sunnydale again even thoug=
h
it brought her so much sadness. =20

Xander's face came to her mind and she saw the love he had for Cordelia,
the friendly love he had for Willow and the love he had for her.  He had
helped her in a lot of battles and was always there when she needed him.=20
His constant stubborn persistence and annoyance at Angel had made Buffy m=
ad
before but now she accepted and was glad of it.  She wondered what he was
doing?

Buffy leaned back in her chair and wriggled around until she was comfy.=20
She closed her eyes but all she could see was Angel's haunting face.  She
heard someone shout so she looked around, a familiar face caught her eye.=
=20
It looked like Spike but it wasn't, it was just someone like him.  He mus=
t
be half way around the world by now.  She shouldn't have let him go, she
was a Vampire Slayer not a car sales person.  It wasn't her place to make
deals.  She realized she had something in common with Spike and the thoug=
ht
made her shiver with fright.  They both loved someone with all their hear=
ts
and souls (if they had one).  Instantly Buffy thought of Angel.  She
thought of his secretive smile, his tortured eyes, his lonesome past, his
voice, his hair, his lips and then she thought of the look he had given h=
er
when he was being sucked into hell.  Without realizing it she had started
to cry and now she was sobbing uncontrollably. =20

"Hey young one don't cry, want a hanky?"

The soft voice brought her out of her memories and she looked around to s=
ee
from whom it was coming.  It was an old man, with a worn out but pleasant
face.  He was holding out a tissue and Buffy took it, thanking him.

"Run away from home did you?  I did that once, you should go back, your
friends and family miss you, they need you."

The old man coughed lightly and turned away to talk to someone else.  Buf=
fy
dwelt on his words.  Maybe he was right, maybe she should go back.

The momentum of the bus was making her drowsy but she still could not
sleep.


So do you like it???

Subject: BUFFYFIC: Fanfic: The Good Spike

TITLE: The Good Spike
AUTHOR: Misery 4
EMAIL: [e-mail]
SPOILERS: I don't know Angelus is bad that's all
CONTENT: Bit of violence, no detail.
RATING: PG
SUMMARY: Cross over of BtVS and The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Buffy & Co. Joss Whedon does. I certainly don't own
Luke, God does. I'm just scum, nothing more, nothing less.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was just a silly thing I did inbetween writing An Act
of Love. I just thought it would be so cruel to do a Bible crossover oh
well. It's only short, and not really well written but I hope you get the
general gist. If you don't go read a Bible....
If I get good feedback I might start on the other parables, if I don't I
might not.

The Good Spike
by Misery4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luke 10:30-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan

In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when
he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat
him and went away, leaving him half dead.  A priest happened to be going
down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other
side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on
the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his
wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey,
took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two
silver coins* and gave them to the innkeeper. `Look after him,' he said,
`and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may
have.'
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into
the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
    Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wouldn't take a genius to figure that Buffy was losing the fight. She
was down on her knees struggling against the constant blows her enemies
were giving her. For the first ten minutes of the fight it looked like
Buffy was winning, but then *it's* friends had arrived and now she had no
chance.

It all started three weeks ago when Angelus had called in the Order of
Teraka against her (again). Giles and the others had kept her safe so far,
with their wonderful books and research parties, but there were just some
things she had to do on her own, like fight and die.

She had planned tonight to go and force Angelus to call off the Order of
Teraka, she hadn't a clue how she was going to do so, but she set out
anyway. Half way through her favorite slaying place, the graveyard, she had
been attacked. The ugliest thing she had ever seen had raced towards her
and started beating her up. She fought back as well as she could, but now
she was near death.

Just when she thought it was over they all left. She knew that they had
gone to get Angelus to *finish* her off. They had had strick instructions
to allow him the glory of killing his lover/slayer. She had to get out of
there fast but she couldn't even move a muscle---literally. She crawled
closer to a gravestone hoping that she could just melt into the background
but she knew that even a non-vampire could smell her blood and sweat miles
away. The pain in her body was torture, she had never felt pain this bad,
and she wondered if she would get through this at all. Even when she had
*died* at the Master's hand she had not really felt much pain. Angelus's
losing his soul and killing Jenny--now that was pain, but of a different
kind.

A sharp stab in her lungs brought her out of her thoughts quickly. She
realized her ribs were probably pressing into her lungs that she might not
even last until Angelus gets here. She screamed out for help, but no-one
appeared. She laughed at how if someone did come to her aid, they would
probably be a vampire, after all who else hangs around in graveyards.

"I don't see why we have to make-out in graveyards, they're just so scary"
whined a voice in the dark.

"But honey, that's the best part, that way we can huddle up
together....safe....warm...."replied a male with an attitude.

Buffy called out to them, not knowing who, where or even what they were.

"Jack, do you hear something, it sounds like someone shouting for help"

"By the time I'm finished with you, you'll be screaming for help" replied
Jack with an even bigger attitude than before.

The girl giggled as Jack kissed her all over.

Buffy cried out once more and this time the couple came over. If Buffy had
not been in so much pain she would have laughed at how similar the girl
looked to herself before she had become the slayer and how similar the guy
looked to Pike. Jack came over and asked her if she was okay, and Buffy
glared at him before replying
.
"Do I look okay?? I have broke nearly every bone in my body, I have blood
all over me and I am practically passing out, of course I'm NOT okay" Buffy
knew she was being a little bitchy but she was in too much pain to care.

"Jack, we should go, we don't want to get involved."

"Okay honey."

The couple started walking away, and Buffy couldn't believe what had just
happened. They just walked away and left her. Gosh, the number of times she
had saved their lives risking her own and they just left her to die.  She
thought bitterly of how worthless her destiny seemed. Maybe it was better
that the vampires suck everyone dry, at least they did something with their
undead life albeit releasing demons and killing.

She didn't have long to think bitter thoughts before another figure came
towards her.

"Well, well if it isn't Miss Summers, the school's biggest liability and
trouble-maker, seems like you are in quite a fix."

Buffy recognized the ears before she got a full view of the person. It was
none other than her troll-like School Head; Mr. Snyder.

"Mr. Snyder," She laughed nervously not knowing how to ask her worst mortal
enemy to help.

"..Could you please phone for an ambulance for me?" She stuttered out as
the pain increased.

"No I don't think that I will, you see if you die, our school loses it's
biggest trouble maker and I get a promotion out of this hellish town."
Synder replied as he walked off leaving Buffy once more stunned.

She couldn't believe these people, she saves lives, they let her die, how
terribly unfair. <But who said life was fair>

Tears started to roll down her face as she realized that she had no hope of
living.

She could hear footsteps approaching her and she was sure they were
Angelus'. She closed her eyes and braced herself for whatever was to come.

"Oh pet, what did you get into this time?"

Buffy opened her eyes quickly recognizing the voice as none other than
another off her immortal enemies Spike. Spike picked her up ignoring her
cries of pain and carried her out of the graveyard.

"Spike, what are you doing?" inquired Buffy after he had put her into his
car. She reached inside her jacket for a stake, even though she would not
have the energy to use it.

"Don't worry luv, I'm here to save you." replied Spike grinning.

Buffy would have continued, but the pain was kicking in even more now, and
she was struggling to breath.

"Slayer, you better live, you got blood all over my coat"

Buffy raised her eyes and silently inquired as to why he cared about her.

"If you die," Spike continued "Angelus's ego will be even bigger than
before," "and I'll have no-one to love" he thought to himself silently.
It had been a week since he had realized he loved Buffy, but he had not
even seen her since then. He knew it was wrong, to love your mortal enemy,
but it was a trait he had inherited from his sire.

Spike pulled up outside Giles's house and carried her to the door. He
banged hard on the door until Giles appeared, dressed in his tweed pajamas.
Buffy wondered how he even found tweed pajamas, she had never even heard of
the stuff until she had met him. She put the thought in the back of her
head, reminding herself to ask him later. Right now she had to concentrate
on staying alive.

"Spike?? Buffy??"

Giles did not understand why his slayer was lying battered in her immortal
enemies arms. Before Spike could answer Giles snatched Buffy out of his
arms causing her to scream in agony. Spike winced at the pain she must be
going through and slowly turned to walk away.

"Spike..." called Buffy.

Spike slowly turned around to face Buffy and their eyes met.

"Thanks" said Buffy slowly and meaningfully.

"Anytime Slayer" Spike replied before walking off to resume the cripple act
and to cope with Angelus's abuse.
