Chapter Four
"My heart." Drusilla cooed raising her hand to Spike's face.
Snapping his head away from her touch he said in a harsh voice, "Quit it Dru. Just tell me why you're here and I'll consider not killing you."
Slowly pulling her hand towards herself she asks, "Oh deary.what possibly could have occurred to make you think in such a way? Oh, I know what it is," she continued 'tisk-tisking,' "it was that nasty slayer. Wasn't it?"
"Geez Dru. This has nothing to do with her. She can't even stand to be around me," he said sadly.
Slamming open the door brandishing a stake Xander yelled, "But lucky for me I'm willing to put up with another thirty seconds."
Drusilla than punched him knocking him out, "Sorry deary. I can't let you hurt my Spike."
"Dru," Spike yelled, "I've had enough. Just tell me why you're here."
I'm here for you dear.to come with me," she said, "I miss our family. Come with me, back to Prague."
Don't be stupid Dru. I have a life here," Spike said.
"But it's all different now. I can feel it. I can sense you pain.your soul," Dru said, "don't worry. I'm can help you." As she leaned next to his ear she continued, "to lose you soul."
"Are you serious Dru?" he asked "Can it be done." Stumbling on his words he corrected himself, "I mean no Dru. I'm a changed man. I AM A MAN NOW!"
Laughing Drusilla said, "Oh Spike, you don't mean that. I know how you miss it.the kill, the hunt, the taste."
"What of it," he snapped.
Lifting Xander up and offering his neck she said, "You can start here."
Yorkshire, 1880; "Perhaps it's my advancing years that make me so forgetful, William. Remind me. Why don't we kill you?" Angelus said as he gripped Spike's neck, choking him.
".ike," Spike choked out.
"What's that?" Angelus asked as he released Spike in disgust.
"It's Spike now," he said getting angry, "You'd do well to remember it mate."
As Angelus calmed down he said, "I'm not your mate. And when did you start talking like that?"
Before Spike could answer Darla joined Angelus' verbal assault on Spike. "Look, we barely got of London alive because of you. Everywhere we go, it the same story and now."
"You've got me and my women hiding in the luxury of a mine shaft, all because William the Bloody like the attention," said Angelus finishing Darla's sentence. "This is not the reputation we need."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I sully our good name?" Spike asked after taking a deep swig from his bottle of wine, "We're vampires."
"All the more reason to use a certain amount of finesse," demanded Angelus.
"Bollocks!" Spike yelled, "That stuff's for the frilly cuffs-and-collars crowd. I'll take a good brawl any day."
Approaching Spike menacingly Angelus said, "And every time you do, we become the hunted."
Beginning to get angry with Angelus Spike steps p to him saying, "Yeah, you know what I prefer to being hunted? Getting caught."
"That's brilliant strategy really.pure cunning," Angelus said with a sarcastic tone.
"Sod off!" yelled Spike when he started laughing, "Come on. When was the last time you unleashed it? All out fight in a mob, back against the wall, nothing but fists and fangs? Don't you ever get tired of fights you know you're going to win?"
Beginning to get frustrated with Spike's attitude Angelus began to talk more sternly, "No. A real kill. A good kill. It takes pure artistry. Without that, we're just animals.
"Poofter!" Spike said reaching frustration himself. With Angelus shoved Spike down on his back, at the same time grabbing a makeshift stake and placing it right at his heart. "Now you're getting' it!" Spike said while smiling at Angelus' uncharacteristic show of emotion.
Frustrated by Spike's reaction Angelus dropped the stake and clearly warned him, "You can't keep this up forever. If I can't teach you, maybe someday an angry crowd will. That.or the Slayer."
Suddenly interested for the first time in his unlife he shot up saying, "What's a Slayer?"
Sunnydale, 2002; "It's been to long Buffy."
"I know Dawn," Buffy said knowing that if Xander was going to kill Spike he would have come back to gloat by now. "All right," she stated firmly, "I'm going alone."
Willow jumped in, "Buffy, if he's not back, there could be something wrong."
"I know Will. I know all you worry about me. But if this is a Spike issue, it makes it my problem," Buffy said as they glanced each other knowing there wasn't any use in trying to change her mind.
As Buffy turned around Giles put his hand on her shoulder. "Be careful," was all he knew to say.
Buffy just smiled at her father figure saying, "You know me." Then she turned around and left her home.
