Disclaimer: See, there's this god that walks around on earth, and this god, he owns 'em all. Bow down to the great Joss! Ya'know, 'cause I'm just a lowly fan who likes to sneak in and borrow the characters; Hey, I promised to return 'em, eventually.

Author's Notes: What can I say; I have no idea where these story ideas come from. Not a midnight inspired fic, Yay! Or not yay, this is a dark little story, all angst with no happy conclusion to be found. For once, I've titled it appropriately; this is a disturbed story.

Summary: If Spike's not as harmless as everyone's thought, what's going to happen when Buffy's denials of him finally push the vampire over the edge?

Rated: Very strong R

Date Started/Finished: April 24th 2003/Unknown





Disturbed Events
By ~Delenn~




Sometimes, it's the things you fear the most, the deepest darkest terrors in that hidden part of your soul, which destroy you.

That's not to say that some demon isn't responsible for a good deal of self-destruction, in all the gut ripping detail assumed.

Basic, primal fears, the fear of not being loved, of being betrayed, abandoned, used, tortured, or killed. Of course, for some, the killing isn't the real fear; it's everything that comes between. For those who roam the streets and come face to face with horrors every night, death seems like a relief.

With that in mind, I give you the basis to every inner-self, sweat-soaked pillow, nightmare you've ever had… the beginning of everything ending.
