I don't own BTVS (more the pity) or any of the characters on the show. Arlegon is mine and I'd appreciate anyone using him telling me about it.
I'm not sure where this fits in the time line since I haven't been able to watch all the chapters. After Spike got his chip and started working with Buffy but other then that I don't know. Please read and review. Flames will be blocked and ignored so don't bother
Oh And if any anyone has any idea of what will happen after Spike finishes recovering I'd appreciate if you emailed me.
Spike's Cure Ch 2
As Spike walked away from the warehouse he savored the feeling of being able to hurt or even kill anyone he wanted .And unless someone like The Slayer found the old man he was unlikely to survive long enough to crawl somewhere the vampires and demons roaming the streets couldn't find him or can't get at him "Not with a shattered knee he won't" Thought Spike smugly. So no one knew he was once again free to hurt anyone he wished.
Spike didn't spend long thinking of the old man's survival as he had some problems of his own to deal with. Although he still had his vampiric senses, honed over nearly 200 years and his fighting experience over the same length of time, removing the chip had drained him so that his speed and strength were little more then that of a newly turned vampire. "I still could take 2 or even 3 young vamps but if any experienced vamp sees me he'll know I'm weak and will probably kill me." listening carefully for any disturbance Spike considered his situation "I need someplace safe from both the demonic residents of Sunnydale and the Scooby gang where I can rest and feed for a few days until I've recovered my strength." Thinking about it there really was only one place where (with proper handling) he could be completely safe from both the Scooby gang and the demons until the Slayer returns with her watcher from L.A. "Another advantage is that this way I'll be able to ask Red about this guardian." Spike thought as he headed towards the Rosenberg residence.
Halfway to willow's house Spike was distracted by the sounds of two vampires chasing a human. "Two newly turned vampires" Judged spike noting the speed of the runners and the waves of savage hunger coming from them. Readying a wooden stake
spike moved to hide in the shadow of a garbage can and wait for the chase to reach him. "They'll be 20 feet behind the human and completely focused on it. I'll push the garbage can into one, stake the other and take care of the first one at leisure."
The plan didn't work quite as Spike intended. As soon as the human (A young woman in a jogging suit.) passed he threw the garbage can into the first vamp, who dodged so he was only hit a glancing blow which wasn't enough to knock him off his feet. Still it was enough to delay him enough for spike to stab into the second but unused to his weakened state Spike sent the stake to jam into a rib rather then sliding between the ribs to pierce the heart. The time it took Spike to pull out the stake was enough for both vamps (inexperienced though they were) to recover from their surprise and attack. After nearly five minutes of fighting and dodging Spike finally managed to stake the second vampire and turn to look for the human the two dead vampires had been chasing.
While he fought the woman had picked up the garbage can lid and a metal pipe which she held like a sword and shield before her. "Thank you for saving my life mister, but if you don't mind I'll be going my way and leave you to go your way." For an instant Spike couldn't understand her hostility before he realized he had summoned the demon and it's presence still distorted him. Banishing the demon back to the depths of his psyche Spike's face returned to normal. "Look lady, I just turned two bloody vampires into dust piles to save your hide. I don't want to see that effort go to waste.
As Spike said this he began to wonder "Why DID I go to that effort? I'm not working with the Slayer any more." Thinking about it some more he decided he could use the woman as leverage on Red or to feed on. "Easier then ordering a pizzaman." he concluded to himself "Look I appreciate what you did for me, I really do. But you're like them. How do I know you won't kill me as soon as you get the chance?" "Look here Dearie!" Spike shouted "You saw me take out those two? Taking you would be a snap!" Spike lied. although he was still much stronger and faster then a normal human his energy levels were dangerously low and if she could keep him at bay for a bit he was liable to collapse. "Now why don't you lower your weapons and we'll go somewhere safe before more of these bozos arrive?" After hesitating for a bit the woman dropped the pipe and lid "Okay, where is this safe place of yours?"
"A friend's place, a few blocks away" Spike replied and began quickly leading her to willow's house "I'd better not try and feed until I get her to relax. There is no way I could run her down right now." After a couple of blocks Spike turned around and called to the woman "Look out!". She promptly turned her head to see what Spike was looking at and before she could turn back Spike hit her behind the ear knocking her out. Catching her so she wouldn't fall down Spike lifted the woman's wrist to his lips and fed. Once he wasn't in danger of collapsing if he had to fight anyone Spike stopped and bandaged her wrist with the sleeve of her shirt which he tore off. "Silly to go to all that trouble and then have her bleed to death." Lifting her over his shoulder Spike continued to Wilow's house.
