Spoilers for the end of 7x21 End of Days, yes I have seen it so please don't tell me I haven't *glares at certain people*

Once Terrified

By Falcon-Rider (falcon_rider@hotmail.com)

'That bitch' the Firsts voice murmurs into my ears.

How could she? Do that to me? I thought my thoughts wheeled through my brain, the gears turning with aggressive speed. My jaw clenches tightly, I grind my teeth together as I watch them.

Him and Her.

Vampire, and slayer.

The slayers first love, some say her soul mate.

I watched them as he saved her. Then saw her slice the scythe into Caleb. My heart had swelled with pride. That is till she turned. Their lips met and I screamed inwardly.

I thought she had been there with me last night. She had told me she'd been there.

Did it mean anything to her? I guess not.

I guess she hadn't meant what she had said just an hour earlier either.

I guess I'm just a toy, meant to be used and abused then tossed aside like a rag doll.

How long can they kiss? I clench my fist till my finger nails draw blood.

I never should have trusted her, listened to her.

I said I was terrified, and I was.

But the terror has left, and now all that is left is a blind rage, building up like an inferno inside my demon… and my soul.

William was soft, Spike was hard.

But now I'm Spike with the soul of William… I guess I'm somewhere in between.

They break apart smiling and I growl lightly.

The First smiles next to me; it's a perfect image of my love.

'So,' the Firsts voice caresses me. 'What are you going to do about it?'

Please review!

Note: this is Spikes thoughts at the end of 7x21 end of days. The final thing the First thinks I added myself other than that the dialogue and kiss belong to ME and Joss… Spike and William do as well.
