CHAPTER 3
"So tell me about these visions." Asked Giles again.
"Well, Doyle, a friend of Angel's used to get them from 'the powers that be', he was half demon, Buffy you've met Doyle."
"Oh yeah, so I have."
"Why did he get them ?" asked Giles, curious.
"His response was 'we've all got something to atone for.' Then he sacrificed his life to save a group of peaceful demons.."
"A group ?"
"I mean, a large group, like thirty or forty, they were on the run from a bunch, no army of vampires, who were hunting them, Doyle lost his life when he saved them, their all safe now, the vampires are dead, and now I get the visions." When Cordilla wiped a tear from her eye, Buffy realized that Cordy had been attached to this half demon.
"I can't get him to stop crying." Said Fred, obviously Conner had been woken up by Cordy's scream.
"Give him here" said Spike moving towards Fred, who was about to hand Conner over to him when Cordy asked " What the hell would you know about babies ?"
"I had a baby sister." Responded Spike, the emotion in his voice, he was hurt.
"Yeah," said Cordy, oblivious to Spike's hurt "I'm guessing that after you were turned you and your vampire ho's went back and raped and killed her."
Spike was on her in an instant pinning her to the wall by her throat " My mother died of old age, 72, as for my sister, I adored her, I even showed up at her wedding" Cordy was holding a cross against his chest, everyone could smell the stench of burning skin. "After four years of beating my sister about and violating her, my sister's husband became the victim of a horrible accident, which left him dead, impaled against a wall, a railroad spike through his head. My sister remarried, had kids and died aged 75, a great grandmother. So if you ever mention my family again I will kill you." Spike let her go, she fell to the ground, coughing. He turned around it was visible to everyone, a cross, burned through his t-shirt, deep in to his chest, and six inches from his chest Gunn held his crossbow.
"Cordy you okay ?" asked Gunn
"Yeah, I deserved that." She choked, throwing up onto the floor.
Spike knocked the rig out of Gunn's hand, it flew to the other side of the room and clattered to the floor. "You hold the rig to tight." Said Spike, walking passed Gunn, "Give him here"
Conner was still crying. "Sure thing" said Fred, she found this vampire attractive.
"Spike, why didn't the chip work ?" asked Buffy confused.
"How the fuck should I know ?"
"Chip ?" asked Wesley.
"Yeah," said Spike " the government put it in my head, I'm incapable of hurting humans."
"Oh." Said Wesley, this was interesting.
"Maybe it's because of her visions, that it doesn't work." Buffy punched Spike.
"Jesus ! What was that for ?"
"You went vampy while holding the baby ! You were going to drink it weren't you ?"
"God no, draining babies was more of you ex's gig."
"Hey, the baby's stopped crying !" said Dawn.
"How did you know how to do that ?" asked Buffy.
"Figured it would want to see a familiar face"
"What ?" asked Cordy worried, how the hell did he know ?
"He has Darla's eyes, and Angel's cheekbones."
"What ?"
"Plus I smelled you lying."
"What, I thought Angel staked Darla, no I saw Angel stake Darla." Said Buffy, what the fuck's going on ?
"I felt it when she was dusted. I felt it when she was raise again, but she was different, she was human, I the felt it when Dru turned her again, and when she staked herself"
"What ?" asked Giles, there were rumors about physic links between vampires.
"Let me guess, Peaches and Darla had wild animal sex, he kept his soul afterwards because of some little prophecy. I am I right so far ? Of course vampires aren't made to carry children, and Darla who had a soul in her due to the little one, staked herself to save the little baby ?"
"So tell me about these visions." Asked Giles again.
"Well, Doyle, a friend of Angel's used to get them from 'the powers that be', he was half demon, Buffy you've met Doyle."
