Author: viciouswishes
Rating: NC17.
Setting: Post-“Checkpoint”
Pairing: Spike/Wesley.
A/N: Part 1. Sequel to In the Beginning. The second story in the Monsters Inside series. A bit shorter than I'd like.
Buffy had been planning to stake out the house in an attempt to find out when the Council was planning to strike, but she didn’t have to. Cordelia had had a vision filled with images of Councilmen being torn apart. Wesley and Spike were striking without provocation.
The plan was simple. She’d go in first and attempt to distract Wesley and Spike. Willow and Tara would work magic to confuse the other vampires and perhaps kill a few, while Xander, Anya, and Giles played rear guard, getting people out and not letting any vamp pass without being dusted. Despite her earlier protestations, Buffy knew that they’d gotten good at this. She grimaced at the thought that her friends knew more about killing demons than about anything else.
But they’d arrived too late. Most of the fighting was already done with and only about 10 Councilmen remained fighting the vampires. Giles looked for Roger among the survivors, but didn’t see him. “At least, we’ll save a few,” he told Buffy, trying to look on the upside of things.
Today’s my birthday, she wanted to remind them. We’re supposed to be having cake and ice cream, not witnessing a massacre. “Let’s go in,” Buffy said, taking her stake out of her jacket. She hit the pavement running. “Sorry,” she said to the first vamp she dusted, “I’d love to quip with you, but I got a job to do.”
Willow and Tara spotted a Watcher being bitten. Chanting a few Latin words, a mist descended and Tara pulled the man away as Willow dusted the vamp. “And they say team work is out of style,” Willow smiled.
“Here’s another one,” Anya shouted as she helped a limping man out of the house and into the van they’d commandeered for their fighting. Giles ran to help her. Speed was always of the essence.
Xander shot an arrow in the direction of Wesley, who’d been hanging out in the shadows. He’d been getting pretty good since Giles had resorted to training them all. Despite his aim, Wesley caught it, snapping it in half. He reloaded, and then aimed for another vampire who was running toward him, no doubt, with direction from Wesley.
Buffy ducked as Spike swung an axe in her direction. “That’d all you got tonight, Spike?” she asked.
“I wouldn’t say that, Buffy.” He blocked her attempt to kick him with the handle. “That’s the last thing your big poof said before we captured him. You might not get another chance.”
Anya jumped onto the back of vampire and attempted to hold it still so Giles could stake it. As the vampire turned to dust, Giles grabbed a hold of her to break her fall. “Thanks,” she said, shaking the dust off her shirt. “Could’ve twisted my ankle and that wouldn’t have been pretty.”
Three vampires rushed Willow and Tara who were attempting to build an energy net to keep the demons back. They knocked both the women over. Willow fell on her back and set one on fire with her angry mutterings. She stood up and looked around for Tara.
Buffy had knocked Spike’s axe from his hand, but they were both still fighting strong. Spike noticed that Wesley was signaling him that it was time to go. “Sorry, Slayer,” he said while blocking a punch, “Gotta run.” Four vampires came to ward her off.
Tara had hit her head against a post and blackened out behind an old chair. No one had noticed besides Wesley who was ready to pull Spike out and leave. Buffy and her friends were turning this massacre around, to the wrong side. Quietly, he’d grabbed Tara and tossed her over his shoulder. They exited out the back of the house.
“More productive than we thought,” Spike observed as Wesley tossed Tara’s limp body in the back of the convertible, next to that of Roger Wyndam-Pryce. “This is going to be fun.”

However, I wonder if Wesley realises just what kind of fight he's now picked. Tara, eh? Oh, Willow is going to be very, very pissed-off when she finds out.
At least he gets a chance to talk to Daddy dearest before the sparks start flying.
*hugs* Nice installment!
