Chapter 8

Destiny was to meet Spike this evening. The sun had set when she arrived at Michael's studio flat.

Michael answered the door and ushered for her to enter. In the living room sitting on a brown armchair was a blond man with a black leather jacket.

"So, this is Spike?" Destiny said.

"Bloody right it is" Spike said, "And you're the Slayer that I am going to help. Good name Destiny is for a slayer".

Destiny blushed, finding him strangely handsome.

"Well newbie Slayer there's a lot we've got to do" Spike said. "Tomorrow we meet with Meredith the witch who's going to conjure up a protection spell onto you which will protect you against the demon's magic. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on us vampires".

Destiny blushed once more, "Will you be joining us when we meet this witch?"

"It will be in the middle of the afternoon in a magic shop located in Totness, so no- I don't be joining the two of you while you have tea and cakes with the witch Meredith" said Spike.

Spike talked about the Slayer's he had known. He started off talking about recent slayers who he had helped around the world. Explaining how he had visited remote villages in Africa and urban cities in Asia to help slayers.

Then he began to talk about the past. How he helped Buffy Summers and this is why he was the second vampire in history to get his soul back.

"Of course, unlike the ponse Angel, I won my soul back. Wasn't no gypsie curse" Spike sighed, "And now you know, witches like Meredith are making it so vampires here there and everywhere have souls. Good though, means they can fight on our side".

"Yes, I read about Angelus" Michael said.

"He's Angel. Still Angel. He's still got Angel investigations kicking around. Been there since 1995 and still kicking in the year 2420, can you sodding believe it. Of course the crew is always changing through the years. He's moved office a few times but I'll always remember the days in LA. Those were the times" Spike smiled.

Destiny talked to Spike a little. He asked about her training and the few vampires and the one demon she had killed. He talked about how the world changed when there became so many slayers, yet there was always evil.

When Spike went back to the room he was staying in at the guesthouse, Destiny and Michael were alone.

"Don't worry about this demon" Michael said.

"I'm not afraid. I know you and Spike and this witch will help me" Destiny smiled, "It's my job to fight demons".
