A Demon's Dominion


Spike tried to erase her from his mind, his flesh. Numb himself with alcohol, and Anya. But she'd seen, and the look on her face... he'd just needed to explain.

What happened that night wasn't planned. He'd just... lost control; hadn't realized what he'd done until it was too late. There'd been no thought behind his actions other than: make her see.

Now, he was at another demon's mercy, begging for his soul. To make certain he was in control, that he had dominion over himself. Being evil was no longer a viable excuse.

~End.
