It's was clear Friday night in Sunnydale and everything is normal. Well as normal as it can get in a town on top of a Hellmouth...
Spike was once again sitting in his crypt, sulking about the chip in his head....as usual, when he heard a strange yet familiar voice...
"Spike....Spike...." said the voice. It sounded like pure seduction and Spike shivered.
*Oh no!* Spike thought *Not HER, anyone but her!* A shadow in the corner of the dimly lit crypt started to form a shape as Spike watched. The shadow took the shape of a woman, wearing a form fitting black hooded cloak with a plunging neckline, her face was hidden by the hood but you could see her shoulder length brown hair, but what really made her even more strange were the black feather wings portruding from her back. The shadow/woman giggled.
"Vampy, you bitch...to what do I owe the pain of your visit?" Spike said sarcastically, with a glare. By this time Vampy had fully materialized, she walked over to Spike and pulled off her hood.
"'Now William, is that anyway to treat your Guardian Angel?" she said sweetly. The dark angel really did live up to her name. Aside from having crystal color changing eyes, she had two tiny fangs which were visible when she talked or smiled.
"The name is Spike, pet. And whoever decided to give me the bloody Angel of Death for a Guardian must've thought himself extremely clever!" Spike shouted at the ceiling. Vampy was trying hard to hold in her giggles.
"He's not listening WILLIAM that's why I'm here" Vampy said with a laugh, "And besides, If I wasn't your Guardian the Initiative would've killed you." Spike just looked at his unwanted angel...then stuck his tongue out at her, and turned away from her. Vampy sighed at his childish behavior and went to sit next to him on the sarcophgus.
"Don't you even wanna know why I'm here Spikey?" asked Vampy.
Spike faced her. "No, I bloody well don't" he said. Vampy looked a little dissappointed, but the look quickly vanished.
"Well I'm going to tell you anyway! So listen!" she shouted. Spike looked at her like she had lost her mind, he had never heard Vampy raise her voice...it sounded like unbridled fury.
"Sorry" Spike mumbled.
"S'ok. The people upstairs think it's time for you to atone for your sins...their words not mine" said Vampy
"Atone for my sins? Who do they think I am, Peaches?" said Spike referring to Angel.
"Oh, there is no cause for confusion there" she said huskily, with a smirk. Spike just smirked back.
"Watch it luv, I think youre staring to fancy me" Spike said with a leer.
"Fancy you? I think not Oh blonde one" Vampy said seriously, her smile belaying her tone.
"Okay, getting back to this atoning business...What do I have to do?" he asked doubtfully.
"You're not going to like this Spikey but you're going to have to help the Slayer and her friends" said Vampy, closing her eyes and waiting for him to explode. The explosion never came, Spike actually looked thoughtful.
"Aren't you going to say 'Bloody Hell'?" she asked, wondering why Spike didn't go nuts. Spike didn't answer her instead he asked a very Spike-like question...
"What do I get out of this deal?" he asked.
"Uh, well you get your chip de-activated my yours truly if you agree to help them...and no tricks because I CAN kill you if I have to." Vampy said. Vampy looked up at the ceiling suddenly as if she were listening to something. Spike was watching her intently wondering what she was hearing.
"Spikey, one of my 'associates' just gave me a news flash...You actually LIKE the Slayer! That's why you didn't explode when I told you and why you wanna take this offer!" Vampy giggled. Spike was at a loss.
"Me fancy the Slayer?! Are you out of your bloody celestial mind?!" he yelled.
"Hey, my sources never lie William" she smirked.
"And who is this particular source anyway?" Spike asked.
"Cupid." Vampy said still smiling.
*Oh great, secrets out* Spike thought.
"Oh, Bloody Hell! Alright maybe I do fancy the Slayer...a bit, but I'm only doing this to get my chip out" Spike said, trying to sound convincing. Vampy saw right through him.
"That's the spirit Spikey, you gotta do what you gotta do" she encouraged sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
Spike sighed and got up from where he and the angel sat to get his famous duster off a candle holder where he had placed it. He put on his coat turned then headed to the door, Spike then turned back around and walked back up to Vampy who was still sitting prettily on the dusty stone sarcophgus.
"I think were forgetting something, luv" he said, "My chip."
"Oh silly me" said Vampy said with yet another laugh. She stood and placed her hands on Spike's chest, then kissed him soundly and softly on the mouth. A white hot feeling shot through Spike's body and as quick as it came, it was gone. Spike looked at Vampy in a new light, she seemed to glow with a dark aura about her.
"You're part demon!" Spike exclaimed.
"Duh! You didn't get that with the fangs and why my name is Vampy?" she said. Spike cocked an eyebrow at her usage of teenage slang.
"Well I suppose this is goodbye then eh, luv?" Spike asked. Vampy shook her head.
"No, not goodbye Spike. Just a 'see you later'" she said, "whether you believe it or not, I care about you and I'll always be looking out for you no matter what"
At that moment Spike was sorry that he had ever hated his angel, It felt good to have someone watch over him.
"Well then, See you later pet" he said as he sauntered out into the clear night, knowing that his Dark Angel would always be watching over him.
"Later Spikey" Vampy whispered to the empty crypt. There was a gust of wind and Vampy knew she wasn't alone anymore.
"Do you think him and the Slayer will make it?" Vampy asked her companion, putting her arms around him.
"I know they will, my love...They don't call me the God of Love for nothing" said her companion smiling.
In a flash of light the two celestial beings disappeared, leaving Spike on Earth, walking through the graveyard towards the direction of Buffy's dorm wondering what the hell he was going to say to the tiny blonde Slayer...
