A.N; Ok, this is my first BtVS story, so...please don't criticize too much.
Disclaimer; If I owned BtVS, Spike wouldn't have died in the series finale. :P
"Spike," Ember whispered, green eyes wide. "Please, don't."
The bleach-blond vampire looked around at the wide, horrified eyes surrounding him. Anya, Xander, Angel, Ember, and then his eyes landed on Buffy.
The Slayer's face was an even mixture of shock, horror, and disbelief. Her green eyes screamed; Spike! For the love of God, don't!
Spike's un-beating heart seemed to give a pained squeeze. It was his obsession with the beautiful slayer that had placed him in this position. If he hadn't tried to rape her, he wouldn't be standing in the middle of the Graveyard, gripping a wooden stake aimed directly at his heart.
He took a deep breath. He had to do this. The world would be much better off without him. Buffy would be better off without him.
"I have one last request," Spike said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "On my grave, I want it to say William Pratt not Spike. I want to be remembered as the shy English poet, not the ruthless vampire who slaughtered half of Europe." He looked over at Buffy. "Buffy," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I love you, and...and I'm sorry." And with that, Spike drove the stake through his chest, and into his heart.
He watched as the blood oozed out of the wound, slid down his fingers, and dripped onto the ground.
His vision was quickly going black, but he managed to lift his head and looked at the faces surrounding him. He gave them all a weak smile. "I'm finally free." He whispered hoarsely.
And even dying, Spike knew it was true. He was finally free from the guilt of his murders, from his love for a girl that had cost him everything, he was finally free from it all.
As Spike fell to the ground, he couldn't help the small smile that formed at his lips as he quietly slipped into death.
For the first time in almost one-hundred years, he felt at peace.
A.N; Ok, I think this turned out better than I thought it would. Just for those of you wondering, Ember is my Oc and Spike's 'sixteen' year old sister who's is Angel's mate. And I also know Angel left at the end of season three, but hold on, cause I'll explain everything in later chapters.
Now for the most important part...Did you love it? Hate it? Leave me a review, and tell me what you think. So until next time;
Peace, Love, and Blond Vampires-
