Chapter 7 Animals
A/N: I didn't like the episode and I don't like the chapter but it is important though. So…enjoy? I guess?
Stood at the edge of the valley
Looked at the ground below
Oh I was surrounded
There's nowhere left to go
I heard the wind chime beneath my feet
I felt the earth shake inside me
I run forever but I won't get far
Cause if I don't have you I will starve
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
For you, for you
Oh was it cold desperation
There let fire go out
Oh was it cold desperation
Cause I let it burn for miles
I let…
You are the wilderness inside me
I run forever but I won't get far
Cause if I don't have you I will starve
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
There's a wolf in my heart
There's a wolf in my heart, for you
For you, for you
You are the wilderness
You are the wilderness
You are the wilderness
You are the,
You are the one
You are the one
You are the Wilderness sung by Voxhaul Broadcast
Buffy ran through the brush as a vampire chased her. She then tripped purposely knowing vampires love that. The vampire looked down at her and smiled thinking he had her just then an arrow went through his chest and he looked up seeing the slayer holding up his crossbow with a cigarette in his mouth. The vampire then turned into dust and Buffy got up.
"They can never resist a run an stumble." Buffy commented as Angel blew out some smoke and toss his cigarette away.
"You get the feeling the dark forces aren't even trying anymore or are we just too damn efficient?" Angel asked her as he reloaded his crossbow and Buffy shrugged because it could be both. "Wanna to do one more sweep and then call it?"
"Why not?" Buffy answered and the two were off to hunt some more. But these days the hunts were becoming dull and easy. Demons were harder to kill but vampires were basically just shooting fish in a barrel, there was almost no more excitement and it really was just turning into a job for them. But while they walked away they were being watched by someone.
"Better be careful slayer," Spike spoke to himself. "Tempting the fates you should know better." He then lit up his own cigarette and watched the slayer and the vampire round the corner. "Well, well, the big bad is back." Spike boasted. "And this time," But something shocked him and he went to the ground. As he looked up completely paralyzed he saw men in mask and carrying weapons surrounding him.
The Bronze was one of the many places to be tonight. It was sort of the low end of clubs and with the type of college parties that occur you would wonder why the A-Team came back here. It's mostly for comfort than anything. Angel, Xander, Willow and Oz were together. Buffy and Doyle were out on patrol and might stop by. The group talked about classes and how in just a week or two Thanksgiving will be here which marked the start of the end of the semester. As they talked the group Shy came on the stage and Oz was once again drawn to the singer that calls herself Vercua. Willow looked to Oz and both Angel and Xander picked up on it.
"Hello," A voice greeted them and they all looked up.
"Giles?" Angel asked looking confused. "What's wrong?"
"Oh, no don't get up everything is fine." Giles informed the slayer, so if it wasn't trouble then why was here? "Just had to get out for a bit. So how about a drink, on me?" He asked. Giles has been to the Bronze once when people were actually here dancing. Every other time it's been because something was attacking the people. "Quite a crowd tonight?" Giles asked trying to make small talk. "What?" He looked at Angel.
"Nothing," Angel answered.
"I'm down…with, with todays music." Giles informed them all.
"Yeah, you're a-tracks keep up ahead of the times." Xander added with a smile.
"Some of his albums though," Angel jumped in knowing what he had. "He was an animal back in days."
"Thank you…I think." Giles looked to Angel not sure what that meant. Angel smiled a little sipped his coke.
The night was over and Angel walked into his room ready for sleep. He started to undress and in the bed was a sleeping vampire. Now that Buffy was more awake during the daylight hours she was more tired at night. Angel grabbed what he needed and went to take a quick shower and go to bed.
Morning came around and the alarm clock started to buzz over and over again. Angel reached for it with his eyes closed trying to shut it off. After the fourth try he made it shut up and he rolled over on his back letting out a disapproving sigh. He then looked over and Buffy was still asleep.
"Lucky you," Angel muttered as he got up but then felt a hand wrap around his arm.
"Stay in bed," Buffy whispered. Angel wished he could and thought about taking afternoon classes next semester just so he can sleep. He leaned into the half asleep vampire and she looked up at him. "Five more minutes." Angel leaned in for a soft kiss but he knew better not do that because those five minutes can and will turn into something else. "You love me?" Buffy asked and Angel just looked to her and nodded.
"You need me to prove it?" He asked and she cupped his cheek.
"If you have time." She said meaning yes but only if he could. Angel leaned in for a much more passionate kiss this time. He didn't have time but he'll always make time for her. At least he'll start the morning off on the right foot.
Giles was making his usual tea as he sat outside on the porch enjoying the very nice cool morning. Doyle was in the living room watching TV and it was a typical start to a typical day around here. Giles was going to mow the lawn for Buffy mostly to keep him occupied for a while. Giles could hear Angel coming as the wood echoed under his feet. That was a nice and calming sound for all of them.
"Heading to class," Angel told his Watcher. Giles may not be a part of the Council but he was still Angel's Watcher until the very end and on another degree he was also Angel's father.
"Have a good day," Giles told him and Angel nodded heading out and Giles tracked him as he went inside and then looked to the new day. Angel walked passed Doyle as he sat on the couch and Doyle went to hit Angel but Angel dodged it. These two were like brothers, the brothers they've never had.
Willow laid awake in Oz's arms as he was still asleep. She could see the time knowing she needed to get up for class. But the last few weeks since Veruca has been around things have been on her mind about her and Oz. Just then she felt Oz cuddle closer to her and she had to smile a little. Willow rolled over so they were face to face now.
"Morning," Oz greeted her and Willow smiled at him.
"Morning," She greeted back and leaned in for a kiss. Maybe it was all in her head about Oz liking Veruca.
Class was over and Angel got his paper back. If the students wrote a paper for psychology on the different stages of human development and what can cause them to not progress on to the stage and the paper was well written then they can opt out of the final. Angel got an A so no semester final in psychology for him. Willow also did well so that was one test they didn't have to study for. Tonight though was a worry night. It was the night before the full moon.
"Angel," Willow started as they were walking the campus with some coffee in their hands. "I have a question and, and don't take it personally."
"What's wrong?" Angel asked her.
"Do…do you check out other women?" Willow asked and that threw Angel for a loop. He couldn't say yes or no come to think of it. "Like if a pretty girl walks by do you notice them like hey she's hot." Angel had no idea how to answer that one.
"Well, I mean I notice I am a guy but not that much no." Angel answered. "Why you ask?" He knew something was on her mind.
"Oz, he's been well when you see Buffy you get this little twinkle in your eyes and well," She paused for a moment. "Veruca, when Oz sees Veruca he gets that twinkle."
"Willow, men check out women all the time its…men…" Angel tried to explain. "But it doesn't mean anything because at the end of the night I go home Buffy and Oz goes home to you." Willow smiled a little. "He's not the type to just stay away."
The sun was setting and Oz had a new location for his cage. It was an underground crypt and he headed to the cage and locked himself in. He hated this and he wished there was a way to change it or control it.
The full moon was out and professor Walsh was leaving the campus after a long day of teaching, tutoring and grading papers. The students are getting into crunch time mode and same with the professors. She left the building with her bag and walked as the campus was quiet tonight. As she walked she heard a rustling in the bushes and stopped walking and something jumped out at her.
Walsh had to scream seeing the huge dog that was a werewolf who was actually Oz. The werewolf chased after her and when she rounded a corner another werewolf waited. She was caught in the middle and she braced herself but when she looked up the two werewolves were attacking each other. Walsh used that moment to run while the two animals attacked.
Oz heard birds chirping and felt a really cool breeze and he woke up looking around. He wasn't in his cage but out in the woods. This wasn't good he escaped but he felt something behind him and rolled over seeing Veruca naked with him. She had her arms wrapped around him too and Oz had no idea what happened.
"Morning," She greeted him as he stared at her. "Some night?" She asked.
"You're a werewolf." Oz stated and she nodded and that's why he was attracted to her. He could sense the werewolf in her. "Stay away from me and stay away from Willow." Oz got and up and left.
Angel was walking to class and saw professor Walsh and Riley speaking and he overheard the conversion. Two wild dogs well almost attacked attacked Walsh. That raised a red flag that Oz got out and that there was another werewolf. He decided that maybe he should skip his classes today and figure this out.
Oz was in his little room pouring over the newspapers to see if there was anything about people getting attacked or hurt last night. He was also still in a state of shock that he had sex with someone else. He wasn't himself though he was the wolf so it didn't count right? As he searched the door opened and he looked up seeing Willow and his heart sank. In all reality he did cheat on her maybe it was his wolf side but he did. Oz got up and Willow walked over to him and hugged him. Willow then pulled away looking at him.
"I'm sorry if I've been weird lately." Willow apologized. "I wasn't me,"
"It's ok." Oz said as he went to put the paper away.
"Well, no more worrying." Willow stated as she got closer to Oz. "Going to shut my brain off more." She then took his hand into hers. "Maybe you can help, have time before my next class." Oz was now stuck, on another day he would but last night when he and Veruca had sex they scratched and sort of ripped at each other. Willow would see the marks and things could go bad. She leaned in and kissed him and Oz felt her slowly lifting his shirt up.
Oz quickly pulled away not wanting to show his cuts to her. It would alarm her thinking he got out and got hurt which he did. When Oz pulled away Willow looked confused and knew something wasn't right.
"I'll, I'll just got to class." Willow could feel that he didn't want it. But before Oz could say anything the witch already grabbed her things and left.
At the mansion Angel was searching the papers as well. Giles came in to help with the research. Doyle wasn't home as he was searching the streets of any news too. Buffy wasn't awake yet, she doesn't like to make appearances before noon.
"The attacked seems to have been confined on campus." Giles stated as they couldn't find anything.
"Well, we know of one werewolf in town." Angel added meaning that this could have been Oz. "But Walsh said there were two…dogs…"
"Suggesting there is at least another wolf." Giles finished and he sat back in his chair thinking. Angel nodded thinking about that too. What if there were two though and these two wolves were completely new in town plus you had Oz. This was bad regardless how many wolves there were.
"Hunting tonight?" Angel asked and Giles nodded.
"We need to talk to Oz see if he was one of the two and if not then maybe he might know…something." Giles finished and then Doyle walked in.
"Looks like everything was confined to the campus and now deaths either." Doyle explained.
"So these two wolves just what?" Angel asked. "Attacked each other?"
"Perhaps, nonetheless we still need to speak to Oz and find out who these wolves are." Giles stated the obvious.
"On it," Angel gathered his stuff and headed back to the campus while Doyle and Giles would wait and see if there will be any more news about it. Also they would debrief Buffy if she ever woke up.
Angel headed to the place where Oz would be caged up and decided to see if the place was still in a strong hold and that Oz couldn't escape. He prayed that there were two new wolves and Oz was locked away. As he headed down the steps he saw Oz wielding the gates together and that did not reassure him at all. Oz stopped wielding and looked up at the slayer.
"We should talk." Angel crossed his arms and Oz knew he was in trouble. "You got out," And Oz not answering meant yes. "Willow know?" Oz shook his head no but Willow was too smart she'll figure it out soon. "There two wolves last night on the college campus, you know who the second wolf is Oz?" Again Oz said nothing. "Just tell me because I will find out myself."
"Look, Angel, things…things are complicated at the moment," Oz wasn't sure how to explain this. "I'll tell you later." Angel wanted to know more but went ahead and left. Still he wasn't sure if Oz was part of the attack or if he was on his own and there two more wolves out there. The only way to know was to go hunting tonight and find out.
Oz hung out in his cage waiting and he was beyond nervous. As he waited he heard footsteps and looked up seeing Veruca walking in smiling.
"Knew you wanted more." She smiled walking closer to Oz. This wasn't what Oz wanted, he didn't bring her here for sex he had her here so they can stay locked up and not hurt anyone.
"Get in," Oz stated clearly and Veruca smiled as she got into the cage and Oz shut the door. They were now locked in for the night.
"I don't want to be in here." Veruca didn't look happy.
"This isn't just to keep you from hurting anyone. I know people will be out there looking." Oz meant Angel and Buffy will be on the hunt. Just then they both felt it, the sun was setting the full moon was rising. There was no fighting the urge.
"You feel it? It's like your blood is boiling it feels so good." Veruca seemed to enjoy turning into a werewolf more than Oz did. "I've always sensed you Oz, I've always wanted you." Oz looked to her. "Did you sense me?"
Oz looked like he wanted to say yes but didn't instead he brought her close and started to kiss her. The animal inside was taking over as they kissed. The wolves in them started to come out as they still held onto one another and they turned. The two wolves growled at each other circling one another and then attacked.
Willow walked up to the crypt holding a bag and inside the bag was food. She knew Oz probably wasn't up yet and when he does wake up he'll be hungry. She felt a little happy to be brining him some food and headed inside. She smiled as she went to the cage but then dropped the drinks and the bag of food. Inside the cage was Oz and beside him was Veruca and they were both naked and asleep.
"Oh my god," Willow choked out as she was in tears. It felt like her heart was being torn not just in half but to pieces. Oz started to stir and looked up and his eyes widen.
"Willow," Oz got up and quickly put some pants on as Veruca woke up smiling.
"Oh my god," Willow was still in shock from the sight before her as she slowly stepped away. "How, how could you?" She asked and then took off.
"Willow wait!" Oz called after her but she was gone. He then felt Veruca wrap her arms around him and she kissed his shoulder.
"She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand what you are, but I do." She whispered and then it hit Oz, Willow was going to tell Angel. Two years ago Angel told Oz if he ever hurt Willow he'll find him. Not only was Willow going to tell Angel but she would tell Buffy and he knew how Buffy felt to guys doing this. Oz was a dead man. He then shoved Veruca off of him.
"This your fault." He stared at her and then opened the cage and left.
"You can run all you want but you can never hide from who you really are!" She called out to him.
Willow walked into the mansion looking around. It was a Saturday morning so everyone at the mansion was asleep. She ran up stairs trying not cry but it failed miserably as she made it to the end of the hall. She went to knock but paused for a moment but then started to knock. Inside the room Angel stirred awake hearing the knock and looked at the time. It was early, seven in the morning early. He got up and walked to the door opened it rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and found Willow in tears.
"Willow?" He asked.
"Hi Angel, morning sorry to bother you, is Buffy awake?" She asked and that sent red flags up like crazy. Angel reached out and pulled her in.
"Buffy, Buffy wake up," He went to the bed and the vampire stirred awake and saw Willow crying. Buffy quickly sat and walked over to her.
"I had it coming I know I did," Willow sobbed. "Oz, Oz," She couldn't finish and Angel knew this was girl talk but he already figured out Oz hurt her if she sobbing uncontrollably as Buffy hugged her.
"It's ok, it's going to be ok." Buffy assured her.
"I feel like I'm dying Buffy, I can't breathe." Willow sobbed harder as Angel stood there and only imagine what happened but he had a pretty good idea.
Xander, Doyle and Giles waited downstairs in the living room. Angel was with them in the corner of the room standing against the wall. They wondered what was going on upstairs but they could only imagine. If Oz wasn't here it meant something bad was going on between them. Just then Angel looked up seeing Buffy coming down the stairs and everyone looked to her.
"Veruca is the second werewolf and she and Oz…yeah," Buffy didn't finish it but she didn't have to. It all made sense now to Angel why Willow was asking him about guys noticing other girls.
"Willow ok?" Angel asked somewhat absently mindlessly.
"For now I guess." Buffy answered and sat on the recliner.
"We need to find Veruca before sunset." Giles stated, that was their first priority. They couldn't let her be free.
"Well, you guys do that, I'm going to find the puppy, getting him fixed." Buffy stood up and Angel went to cut her off as she reached the garden.
"Buffy, wait," Angel caught up to her knowing this made her angry.
"What?" Buffy snapped at him.
"What's happening is just something Oz can't control," Angel was trying to see something else to this.
"He could have told us about Veruca but he didn't, he locked her up with him so they can have sex." Buffy couldn't be clear and direct on that. Angel sighed and didn't know who to side with. He knew why this made Buffy upset but now was not the time to go on a warpath.
"Buffy," Angel had no idea what to say because some of what she said was true Oz could have said something but never did.
"Not all, but some men are just animals." She then left and Angel knew better not to go after her right now.
Willow sat on Angel and Buffy's bed in silence as she heard a knock on the door and Angel poked his head in. The tears stopped for now but her eyes were swollen and puffy. Angel walked in and shut the door behind him and sat on the edge of the bed looking to one of his best friends.
"Stupid question but are you ok?" He asked and Willow looked up and nodded in silence. "I have to find her because this stops now." Angel told her and again she nodded but Angel knew what he was saying was going in one ear out the other. "Can I do anything for you?" She then shook her head no. Angel stood thinking maybe it's just best to leave her alone and he left.
Oz sat on his bed and looked up as Buffy stood in his room. He invited her a long time ago so now she had free reign. Oz knew he was in trouble as Buffy was here.
"Hi," Buffy greeted him in a somewhat perky greeting that unnerved the hell out Oz and made him worry. "So…where's the bitch?" Buffy used that last word both in and out context.
"I've been trying, but I know her scent I can track her." Oz assured her and Buffy stood there not moving. "Let me handle this,"
"Because you're handling so well right now." Buffy shot back. "Willow's up in my room crying and right now I don't know what will happen even if this gets resolved."
"It's not what it seems," Oz defended himself.
"Oh no, it never is." Buffy was upset because she has seen this so many times and half those she was the woman that caused it. Buffy then left knowing they might need Oz for this at least until he changes.
Willow left the mansion and went back to her dorms and instead waiting quietly she found comfort in magic. As she was conjuring a spell Angel was on the hunt with the tranq gun as Buffy was with him. They were following Oz around so they can catch Veruca as soon as they could.
"She's around here," Oz stated and then they came to a small clearing and found some clothes.
"Might be from the night before,"
"No," Buffy spoke up. "She's throwing you off."
"Willow," Oz muttered and took off and Angel and Buffy followed. As they ran something ran into Angel. Angel rolled over and he looked up seeing a military man wearing a mask and goggles. Then man quickly got up and hopped back into the bushes and that was very strange. Angel grabbed the rifle getting up slowly and he admitted it to himself how weird that was.
At college campus Willow was about to finish a spell on Oz. It was a spell to make him feel no love just pain. He would walk the earth alone and would never find anyone to love or to love him back. As she was about to throw his picture in the fire she just stared at it. She sighed and set it down as she set it down the floating beakers dropped around her.
"Willow," That made Willow jump as she turned around seeing Veruca standing there. She then shut the door locking it. "Thought you were going to play rough. But sometimes you have to, to keep what's yours." She got closer to Willow and Willow stood her ground. "Sometimes you have to kill." Willow still didn't do anything and Veruca smiled. "What do you know, the sun's almost down." She smiled at the witch. "Why didn't you do it? You don't have it in you."
"You have no idea what I have, what I can do." Willow stood there holding herself together.
"I know what you love, got his scent all over me right now." Veruca teased her and Willow went to leave and Veruca pushed her back. Just then the door flew opened and Oz saw Willow on the ground.
"Get away from her." Oz demanded Veruca.
"Come stop me, I like it rough remember." Veruca knew they were about to change as Willow crawled away. "She's the reason why you're house broken. We're animals Oz, we kill." Just then they were starting to change.
"Yeah, we do." Oz then attacked Veruca as they continued to change. They were fully wolves now fighting. It was a vicious fight too as Willow sat there watching. Wolf Oz then pinned wolf Veruca and bit her neck ripping it out. Blood went everywhere and Willow looked disgusted. Oz howled as Veruca changed back into human form. Just then Oz turned to Willow and growled.
"Oz it's me," Willow stood up slowly trying to show she meant no harm. Oz then charged at her but the same Willow heard something and looked up. Angel was across the room and cocked the rifle and fired and Oz went down. Buffy ran over to Willow to make sure she was ok as Angel reloaded the rifle and held it up to Veruca as she laid dead on the ground. He then went to check on Oz and he was asleep. "Oz?" Willow asked as Buffy got down to the floor and Willow sobbed a little. Buffy wrapped her arms around Willow as Angel lowered the weapon and looked to the girls.
The ordeal wasn't over as Angel was telling Giles about something very important and it had nothing to do with Oz. Buffy, Doyle and Giles were sitting on the couch while Angel stood in the living room.
"This fellow in the woods was in military garb?" Giles asked and Angel nodded.
"He had some serious weapons on him too." Angel added and Buffy looked at them both.
"We saw some guys dressed like during Halloween too." Buffy added and Doyle nodded.
"Unless he's still running around in costume."
"Doubt that," Giles sipped his tea.
"It is the Hell Mouth." Doyle reminded them.
"Maybe they were working." Buffy suggested.
"I want to know who these guys and what they want." Angel made that very clear. "First off he got in my way, almost didn't make it in time and," Angel stopped. He wanted to save Veruca even though she probably destroyed Willow and Oz's relationship. "Going around and packing heat like that isn't normal not even for us."
"You saved Willow anyways." Doyle added and Angel sighed and sat down on the coffee table.
"I've never seen her this upset and just looking at her it hurts." Angel was soft in his words.
"You've been through this before and made it." Giles reminded him.
"Yeah, I ran away, got sucked into a hell dimension and then made it." Angel was keeping prospective.
"Well, let's hope Willow doesn't use you as a model." Buffy interjected trying to be light hearted but that couldn't happen right now. "What are they going to do?" Buffy looked to Angel wondering how something like this can be fixed. Angel just looked to her with no answers. Whatever happens will happened between them.
Willow walked into Oz's room as he sat there looking out the window. The room was so dark and the sun barely came through the curtains.
"Oz?" Willow asked and he turned around seeing her. "Are, are you…ok?" She asked and he got up and walked over to her.
"I," He didn't know what to say. "The wolf, I can't control it, it's always there inside. I can't control and until I learn," He trailed off and Willow's eyes watered knowing what was about to happen. "I can't be around you until I can." Willow nodded with tears and he hugged her.
"But, but don't you love me?" She asked and he pulled her in closer.
"My whole life I never loved anyone but you, but I can't have you." Oz pulled away tucking some of her read hair behind her ear as she sobbed. He then left the little room needing to get away from her as she sobbed.
"Oz," She went after him but he wasn't there. It was just an empty hallway right now.
Buffy saw Angel sitting on the edge of the bed and wondered what he was thinking. This brought up the past. The past is always behind you but it's never gone. When he sent Buffy to hell he fell into some dark place. He didn't know what was right or wrong. Part of him wanted to die, part of him did. He looked at the world in demeanor that if we all die then what was the point. It wasn't until Buffy came that he started come around. Part of him though is still in that dark place. Buffy was the only thing right keeping him from falling and being consumed by it.
Buffy sat down next to him and took his hand into hers. He just looked to her. This didn't help her either. She's seen this situation for over two hundred years. When it happens especially within the inner circle she does question love. She shouldn't, not now, not with Angel but she does. But in the last three years she has been able to come out from wherever she was. It's going to take more than three years but it's a start. Willow will get through this somehow; Angel did, Buffy, Xander, Cordelia. It's called time, there's so much and yet so little of it. But time will always tell.
So it ended just like the episode, sad. I wrote a different ending how Oz and Willow stayed together but I didn't like it, it felt to easy so I kept the original ending. This chapter is easy to understand so again there's nothing in the forum.
Moving on from this chapter because chapter 8 is big. Chapter is not apart of season 4 at all and finally we get more Riley. And Riley in this book is not the same gentleman in the series. Chapter 8 is my own thing so I hope you like it. There's a preview don't worry. Also a quick update on the story I've finished chapter 17 and oh my god, it ends so beautifully. The book gets more and more tense as we get beyond chapter 10. So soon things pick up now that the foundation will be completely laid after chapter 8 is posted.
Don't forget to look at the forum if you want to discuss anything. Because I am not posting anything there I'll give you guys a longer look at chapter 8 here. So comments and reviews are always welcomed and thanks for reading.
Chapter 8 The Charmer
The vampire laid out on the table hooked up to different IVs and tubes. He could see and feel what was happening but he couldn't move. There were doctors of some kind around him wearing masks.
"How much of a dose did you give?" One doctor asked.
"Point two five milliliters." The second one answered.
"Up the dose, he's not mutating." The first doctor stated sounding agitated.
"But ma'am anything beyond thirty kills them." Another doctor pointed out and the vampire on the table felt himself panic but he couldn't do anything.
"I said up it." The woman demanded and one doctor did. The vampire felt his insides burning now and he wanted to scream but couldn't no matter how hard he tried.
"We're losing him," Another doctor stated.
"He's mutating, so they begin to mutate at point two six, bring it to point two seven see if this one can handle it." The female doctor continued to watch. The vampire wondered what he was mutating into and why they wanted him to mutate. He felt the drug go through him and it burned worse than fire. But this vampire couldn't take point two seven of this drug and within an instant he was dust. "Damnit!"
"Ma'am," A secretary looking lady came in. "The chip is ready and has been evaluated, we can begin."
Spike knew the vampire was dead; he had to be since he hasn't returned in hours. Spike sat in the corner waiting trying not to think about being hungry. As he waited with the bright lights constantly going he looked up and saw men in the white hazard suits and stretcher outside his cell. Spike stood up slowly as the men opened the doors and Spike was ready to fight them off. One held up a tazer and Spike went down hard while one put the leash around his neck.
Spike tried to move but was pinned down. Spike looked around as they got him up on the stretcher and strapped him in and rolled him away. Spike felt a small pain in his arm as they were hooking him up to some sort of IV.
"Hostile 17," Spike heard a woman's voice. "He will go into the Alpha program." She said and Spike was thinking what that meant. They started to roll him away and he thought to himself 'oh god, I'm going to die.' Spike laid on the table as he did all he could to move and fight his way out. After turning a few corners and going through a set of double doors they stopped and he felt a burning sensation go through him. Spike was then transferred to a surgical bed and his clothes began to be cut away.
The surgical team around him started to prep and Spike looked around not knowing what was going on as he laid there. In his head he was calling for help, he was calling out for Drusilla, possibly Harmony, Darla, hell he even called to Elizabeth. Then he felt sleepy and something cold went into him.
Ok…that's, that's different what do you think of it?
