All the usual disclaimers apply. Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy own these characters, I don't.
*********************
I follow the path out of the cemetary. Tears sting my eyes. I did love him, you know.
He belongs to her now. My William, my Spike, is gone, lost, probably forever. Never again will he smile at me, never again will I taste his kiss, never again will we dance together. Lost to the chip, and the Slayer.
His voice calls out from behind, anguished and regretful.
"Dru, love! Please, stop. I'm coming with you."
I turn to look, but there is no one there, only the empty blackness of night. Just a trick of the mind.
Lost.
