He felt his body go weak, he tried in vain to stand up, but was quickly
ushered back to ground level by the quick sweeping motion of the insane
little girl's arm, she paced up and down slowly in front of the man's
feeble form, she raised her hand to her chin and stroked it as she pondered
upon her options. Finally she came to a rather abrupt halt in front of a
table and picked up a discarded syringe.
"What are we going to do with you"? She questioned no one in particular,
"how can we make the pain go away"?
The man interrupted her, "maybe you ought to seek medical assistance,
preferably from a psychiatrist". There was an air of agony in his voice; he
winced in pain as he once again, attempted to stand. Again he was only met
with the thud that the floor emitted under the weight of his fallen body.
He cringed as her shadow fell over him, steadily growing larger as she
moved in closer to his fallen body. For one insane moment, he thought that
she mightn't jab the syringe into his arm, but, for some reason, she
must've changed her mind. Tossing the syringe across the room, to the
responding clink that it made as it collided with the wall, she eyed him
suspiciously as if expecting him to do something. She sighed and Spike
closed his eyes in relief, oblivious to the path that her hand was taking;
she slipped it quietly into her pocket and pulled out a shiny silver piece
of cutlery and a small bottle, labelled with the words Holy Water. Spike
laid his head back against the cold stone floor and lay very still with his
eyes shut. He opened them to the sight of a knife piercing the skin on his
crotch, he gasped to the familiar burning sensation that any vampire got
when exposed to Crosses and Holy water, he glanced across the room where he
could see the blurred outline of a bottle sitting on the table, minus its
lid. He then glanced down at his crotch and realisation hit him, he was in
real trouble. He held that thought as the room disintegrated and he fell
into unconsciousness.
