1. Black Scaly Demon

*********

The demon threw all of its weight at Spike causing him to fall to the ground. Spike pushed the massive creature off of him in just a manner of seconds. He then saw that Angel was finally waking up from being knocked out a moment before. Spike yelled a warning to him as the black scaly demon made his way in his direction. "Get up you stupid Git!" he yelled.

"I'm awake you idiot!" Angel yelled back.

"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Spike commented to himself.

Angel threw a punch at the monster, causing minimal effect. Seeing that both vampires would be needed to kill the demon, Spike ran at it. He jumped on the demon's back creating a distraction. Angel picked up his sword from the ground and prepared to strike. Spike hung on as long as he could, but with all the thrashing of the demon he was quickly thrown backwards into a wall. Angel thrust his sword as hard as he could into black scales. The wound just agitated the demon even more and he quickly pushed Angel away.

Thinking that they were going to need back up, Spike began to pick himself up off the ground again. He lifted himself up to see the enemy standing right in front of him. Not wanting to be thrown into a wall again Spike began to throw a punch. Before his punch even reached "flesh" spike felt something puncture his arm. Momentarily stunned he looked to his arm to see a stake like object jutting out. He pulled the object out quickly, trying to cause the least amount of pain possible. Knowing he would be needing help Spike yelled to Angel "Angelus, I need you over here!." He yelled.

"I'm coming." Angel yelled back angrily. Finding his sword once again, Angel ran at the demon. He swung the sword at the only vulnerable part of the demon, his neck. With a satisfying crunch Angel saw the demon's head fall to the ground.

"Well thank you for finally getting off your ass to help me." Spike growled, his hand covering his wound.

"Are you okay?" Angel asked, half-heartedly.

Spike looked at him "Do you care?" "No I guess not." Angel replied and turned around to walk back to Wolfram and Hart.

"Wanker." Spike muttered to himself as he started to follow Angel.

********

It was just another normal day at Wolfram and Hart. People and demons were bustling about the halls and Spike and Angel were fighting, like usual. Behind the glass dividers separating Angel's office from the hallway the two champions could be seen in what looked like a heated argument.

Finally after apparently not being able to take any more Spike pulled open the office door, with a strength that almost took the door off of it's hinges. As soon as he was out of the room he made sure to slam the door as hard as he possibly could. Turning around Spike bumped into a small form moving down the corridor.

The woman dropped the files she had been carrying, causing a chain reaction of papers to be scattered over the carpet. Spike immediately bent down to help her pick up the papers. He may have been in a bad mood but he was still ever the gentleman. Seeing that the woman he had nearly toppled over was none other than Fred, Spike took extra care to make amends. Fred was one of the only people Spike could talk to Wolfram and Hart and he wasn't about to lose that.

"I'm really sorry bout that." He replied while handing her a pile of papers.

Fred was a little shocked that Spike had bent down to help her pick the mess off the floor. She had thought all she would get was a hurried apology while he stormed off to vent. Hearing his apology she looked at him "Oh it's okay, I needed to organize these papers anyways."

Spike did obviously not buy this lie, standing up he looked over the ground to make sure he hadn't missed a single sheet of paper. "Do you need any help with that?" he asked. Still surprised that Spike was even still talking to her Fred took a few minutes to answer him.

"Oh well you could help me carry these back to my office. I was kind of over loaded with them earlier." She smiled.

Spike held out his hands "Load me up". Fred gave him two of the bigger files and they began to walk back to her office.

********

Upon entering the small room Spike noticed that Fred had done some redecorating since the last time she had been there. She had painted the walls a bright blue color and there were more posters hanging. Spike thought to himself how bright and cheery the room looked compared to the other offices he had seen.

Spike still wasn't used to the sunlight pouring down on him from the window in Fred's office. He knew that it couldn't do anything to him, thanks to the special glass, but he still wasn't used to seeing the sun. He immediately walked over to the corner of the room that wasn't completely bathed in light.

"So you need any more help with anything?" he asked, his face intent on helping. Fred was almost intrigued by how nice the vampire was acting. Of course, he wasn't always his snarky self, she had seen the soul in him before. It just wasn't often that Spike wasn't firing a rude comment every other second.

"No thanks I think I can.." The sight of Spike clutching his head and falling back against the wall interrupted Fred. "Spike are you okay?" she questioned him, her voice filled with concern. Slowly straightening himself up and blinking his eyes a couple of times Spike stared back at her.

"Yeah, just a little dizzy that's all, must not have enough blood. I'll get right on that. What were you saying?" Spike looked at her wanting an answer.

Waiting a moment to make sure he was truly okay, Fred continued. She got as far as "I was just saying." when Spike faltered once again and fell on the ground unconscious.
