Final Wish -- by Serpentine Malfoy
Part Two
"Where are you taking me? I really want to be alone." With a sniffle Willow tried to remove her hand from Spike's iron grip. He merely smiled down at her. She sighed deeply, ~ All I want to do is be alone, why won't he let me! ~
Spike may have smiled down on the little red head, but his heart was no where near light. The news of her impending death had hit him hard, harder than any human ever had. In the past a few humans had asked him to turn them before their death, but his undead heart never cared. But this little spitfire who always spoke her mind without pulling a punch was something special. Something he wasn't going to give up without a fight.
"Spike, please! Spike! Can you at least stop for a second!" Willow tugged on his hand to slow. Spike stopped and looked into her tear stained face.
"Yes, Willow?"
Willow was shocked he didn't call her Pet or Red or Ducks, he called her Willow. "Where are we going? It's dark and getting cold, and I ..." she was interrupted by Spike shrugging his duster off and slipping it over her tiny shoulders. Putting her arms through the sleeves and pulling it tight around herself she continued. "and I have a lot to think about now that...now that..." the tears started to run unheeded down her checks once more. Spike brushed the tears away with his thumb. When they continued to fall he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. Her tiny frame was dwarfed by his tall one.
Stroking her head lightly, Spike stared off into the Sunnydale night. The stars burned brightly in the sky, but he wasn't seeing them, his mind kept rolling over the implications of his plan, but he didn't want her to be gone.
"Come with me, pet. I want to show you something." He kept an arm around her as he led her once more away.
Willow watched the lights of Sunnydale blink below her. The hill Spike had taken her to was high enough she could see most of the sleeping town. The sight was breath taking, this was somewhere she had never dared to go at night, but with the peroxide blond vampire standing next to her, she felt safe, something she never would have thought possible.
Spike watched Willow look over the scenic hill. His intention had been to try to cheer her a little, it had worked for her, but had not for him. The thought she may never see this again scared him. He had to do something, but would she let him.
"Luv, can I ask you something?" Willow looked up at him, seeing an emotion in his eyes she had never seen before. With a nervous nod Willow waited.
"Luv, I want to help you, but I can only help you in one way, but do you want that help?" Willow looked at him confused.
"I want to turn you, pet." Willow's eyes got wide. She stepped back a step, the step it took her to unknowingly stand on the edge of the hill. Spike stepped forward to warn her. She took the last step and began to fall...
