AN: Spike confronts his sire.
The Choice: Chapter 19
Angel scrambled to his feet. The two vampires circled each other. Buffy had enough of the display. She didn't know why Angel and Spike hated each other so much, besides the obvious reasons, but she wasn't about to let this get out of hand.
"Angel! Spike! Stop it!"
They stopped the fighting and both looked up at her.
"Buffy, I have to kill him. It's the only way that he'll leave you alone. He is the killer of Slayers!"
From under him a loud laugh emerged. Spike was having the time of his unlife, if it wasn't for that big poof laying on top of him.
"Oh, so my reputation has spread, huh?"
"Shut up, Spike."
"Now I'm scared! The great Angel, protector of all human kind is telling me to shut my mouth."
"We can't let him live, he'll hunt us down."
"You bet ya I will. Even if it takes bloody centuries!"
"Would you shut up already?"
"Would someone tell me what the fuck is going on?"
"Is it so hard to understand? He. . . " Angel nodded in Spikes direction. "Wants to kill me and probably put my head on a wooden stake so that everyone could see it."
They were still on the ground and Spike struggled to get free. He managed to kick Angel in the stomach when his attention was divided between him and Buffy.
"Did you ever stop to think why I'd kill you? You murdered the only woman I ever loved! And soul or no soul, you are the same to me than before. I will have my revenge!"
Buffy almost felt sorry for Spike. She knew what it was like to loose a loved one. She had lost so many people in her short life and wanted to protect this creature who was capable of feeling this amount of pain.
Angelus screamed inside, crying out for release. The demon Spike, his Childe, had returned to him and he couldn't even greet him properly. But he felt the change in the body that housed the soul. He felt the weakening of the soul, it would give up control of the body.
Buffy staggered when she heard the cold voice that spoke. It was like talking to Angelus, except she was sure this was Angel. Before she could react both men fell to the ground in pain. It took them a few seconds to recover. Angelus shook his head, rejoicing in the fact that he could rule the earth once again.
"Now William, I think the roles are reversed."
Spike looked up at his sire and tried to crawl away. No, it wasn't supposed to happen this way! He didn't feel guilty about anything. He was a demon, the Big Bad out looking for revenge. But only now hundreds of voices were screaming in his head, accusing him of the most awful crimes he knew he had committed. Laura, his beautiful Laura came up to him, urging him to stand on his feet.
"Spike, get on your feet. I'll deal with him."
"On no Buffy, not this time. You might be the love of Angels life, but I need my William with me. Come to me, boy. I won't hurt you."
"Don't do it, Spike! Get the fuck away from him Angelus!"
"Laura, don't do this, let him kill me. Save yourself."
"Ah lad, you couldn't save your love Laura then and you can't save her now. I'll kill her quickly if you come to me."
"No!"
Buffy's scream pierced the thin air in the crypt. A stake appeared in her hand and came flying to Angels chest. And then the world seemed to stop.
