This will be B/A soon, just not yet, but that's not saying she's with someone else, cos she isn't, ok?

Spike POV
I know the kid means well, but she knows how to find loopholes in a promise. She should know. I taught her. I'll never be able to stop her looking at that disk.
I never thought that I'd end up in a life like this. Back when I was human I was a pathetic mess, to be honest. I was a bad poet, an insecure person and really just a waste of space.
But I became more than that. I became a vampire, a strong, powerful, unstoppable vampire, from the best bloodline.
Suddenly I was everything I had wanted to be in life, but hadn't been able, or had the guts, to be. I was bad. And even when those I most respected and looked up to turn against me, I carried on being bad. But in the end everything changes.
I didn't mean to change, but I did in the end. For years I followed the Slayer ( should I still call her that?) around like a lost puppy, even though I knew she would never love me. We even had a thing for a while after she died.
After she died. Why does everything in our lives have to revolve around death?
But no. It was never meant to be. I remember 2 years after she was brought back from the dead the second time, by Willow after the fight with Glory. That was the day that her (I can't say happy) familiar life caved in.
Her little sister may not have been there all of her life, she may not even have been real, but she was loved. It nearly killed Buffy to have to watch her leave, to be left with nothing where she remembered having a sister. She knew she had been there, but it was as if part of her had be smashed, leaving only dislocated fragments. Dawn was returned to where ever she came, and we were all left to pick up the pieces afterwards.
The Slayer was never the same after that. She cut herself off from people, much like when she was returned from the dead, but that time even I was pushed aside. I was hurt and I was stupid, so I just left. It seemed at times that my soul still bent to the power of over 100 years of evil, and it just disappeared for a while.
I'll never really find out what happened when I was gone. All I know is that, for a while at least, the Slayer left and travelled around. I think she went to India, but I'm not sure. It never was something we spoke about.
By the time I came back, she was back in Sunnyhell too. I'll never forget the day I walked into the Magic Box and saw a 30 year old looking Willow and Xander sitting next to the Slayer, and I swear on my unlife she had not aged a day since I left. Thinking back, she hadn't aged since she was brought back from the dead after the fight with Glory. She still hasn't aged a day.
We all thought that she would still have a natural life span though. We were wrong there.
For the next 70 years we travelled, sometimes together, sometimes apart, but always avoiding LA, as a rule. That was where he was with his new life and new friends. We never went there.
Time flew by, the way it does when you have don't have to worry about the aging process and one day I woke up in a hotel room in Canada, only to realise that today was her 110 th birthday. It was then that I realised that she had to be immortal. I mean, if she were dead she wouldn't be sleeping in the next hotel room.
So we travelled for another few hundred years. Sometimes my souls was in charge, other times it wasn't, but I no longer had any impulse to kill her, so we were fine.
We tried to avoid him as best we could. She said that she just couldn't face him anymore, but when we heard, about 300 years later, that the last of the descendants of his old friends had been killed, we went to him in LA.
I swear that I have never seen anyone so shocked. I guess he assumed that she had died and no one had told him. He had never seen her at any funerals, never heard anyone talk about her, so what was he to expect.
But they parted again. I guess the only thing Buffy and Angel know how to do is leave each other.
And that's how it carried on for centuries. Meeting and then leaving again. Sometimes they only saw each other for a few days or hours. Other times he would stick around for years.
The last time I saw him was 8 months before Catalina was born. I don't think he even knows that she exists. He knows about his other 2 children though. That was why he left. He said that they would never be safe when he was around, so he just left Buffy, when she was pregnant, with 2 small children to look after. I was so mad at him for that, she was my best friend, it was my job to look out for her and feel like that, but looking back I see that he did what he did to protect them, because he loved them.
That won't be enough now though. Natasha wants to find him, and no doubt the other 2 will want to as well.
There's nothing I can do to stop them, but if they do leave to find him, I'm going with them.
There are ancient evils out there that they can't even begin to imagine.

Two corridors away in a comfortable room a girl sat and listened to her mother recount her life story and began to plan an adventure.
Millions of Space Stations away, a vampire began to plan that girl's death.
As he entered his room, Spike began to think that this might be the last time he would get to see it in a long time.

Thanx to everyone who has reviewed so far, I think you're all great! I'll try to update as often as I can, but I have loads of essays to write for school at the moment!
Please tell me what you think!!!
