Thanks for all the reviews!! I'm really sorry this chapter is late, I completely forgot about it to be honest. Anyway…this chapter is kind of a nothing chapter…but I'll be updating soon I hope.
Chapter 2. Disbelief.
Monday evening, 15th November.
Draco and Spike sat against a wall of an unused corridor, one of many in the castle. Draco's bag lay at his feet, his tie was loosened around his neck, and his top button of his shirt unbuttoned. His robe was undone and it spilled around his body on the stone floor.
Spike sat in his black jeans and black shirt, his leather duster placed next to him. He looked cautiously at Draco, who had been silent for about ten minutes. And Draco was making no sign of saying something.
Spike sighed and ran a hand through his hair, for the fifth time that day. He looked at Draco again, who was staring at the wall opposite him, in a dazed expression.
"Say something." Spike said, breaking the silence.
Draco was silent.
"Bloody hell, are you deaf?"
Draco was silent.
"You mute? Cat got your tongue?"
Draco was silent.
"I can talk for bloody hours, I can, but right now, I want you to talk."
Draco was silent.
"Listen kid-"
"I have a name."
Spike looked at Draco in mock amazement. "And he can talk! I was starting to worry about you mate. So, tell me what you think."
"What I think about what?" Draco said dumbly.
"The whole thing, the slayers, the demons, the visions, everything."
"Honestly? I think you're crazy." Draco said, standing up. Spike blinked and looked up at him.
"What?"
Draco looked coldly at Spike. "Funny joke, very clever. I have to go." He heaved his bag onto his back and started to walk. Spike rolled his eyes and jumped up, hurrying after him.
"It's not a joke! You've seen the visions, the dreams! It's real and you know it!" Spike protested, walking at the same pace as Draco.
"The slayer's yeah. I believe that. Vampires, I believe that. Everything else, no way in hell." Draco retorted angrily, his face set in disbelief.
"What don't you believe?" Spike asked, exasperated.
"Everything else!" Draco shouted stubbornly, quickening his pace.
"Be specific kid." Spike replied, an annoyed scowl on his face.
"My name is Draco Malfoy." He said, stopping in his tracks and facing Spike angrily. "And the things I don't believe? I don't believe I'm a Watcher. I don't believe that you are sent here to help me. I don't believe that I have to train a slayer to keep her from dying." He started to walk again, but stopped and turned back to Spike. "And I don't believe that that's your true hair colour." Draco continued to walk and Spike rolled his eyes and ran after him.
"Can you just…just…slow down?!" Spike said, reaching his hand out to grab Draco's shoulder. When he made to clasp Draco's shoulder, Spike's hand went through Draco's shoulder and came out from Draco's bag. Spike stopped, blinking as he stared at his hand. He would never be able to get used to this. He looked up and saw that Draco was already turning the corner and Spike ran to catch up with him. Thank god he still had his vampire speed; strength would be useless right about now. He caught up with Draco who was walking at military speed. "You're a Watcher Malfoy. Nothing can change that. It's your destiny, and apparently, my destiny is to help you."
"I did not ask for this." Draco said through gritted teeth.
"You think I did?" Spike yelled, angrily. "Thing is, we have no choice, 'cos the bloody PTB gives us things we never wanted. We're bloody defenceless against them, and we can do nothing about it."
"This is you selling technique? Ratting out the thing I'm supposed to be working for?"
Spike sighed. This kid is impossible. "You're not working for them. You're fulfilling your bloody destiny. And you have a choice."
"What are you trying to say? Do I have free will or not?"
"You are bloody annoying."
"The feeling is entirely mutual, Casper."
Spike glared at Draco, and Draco looked at the vampire from the corner of his eye and smirked. "Don't call me that, kid."
Draco's smirk dropped. "I am not a kid. I have a name."
"Kid! Kid, kid, kid, kid!" Spike yelled childishly as Draco stalked off.
