Chapter 4

A/N: Thanks to the people who reviewed. Here's chapter 4. Please review and let me know what you think. I don't wanna be like people who ask for 10 reviews before they update, but I'm not gonna update unless I get at least 3 reviews. Cause that's all I expect anyway. So I hope you guys like this chapter. Enjoy!!

Spike's POV

Nothing... this is what I wanted, right? I was alone already anyway, at least I don't have to see Angel's hatred towards me. This darkness is definitely better.

Wait a second, something is trying to pull me out. No! Stop! I don't want to go back! I can even smell the blood, it's so strong. Don't Drink! But my demon has been deprived from blood for too long, and drinks greedily. Now I'll have to go back. I can feel myself start cry, and I have no control over it. The darkness has cleared away completely even though I still can't get up yet. Now someone is just holding me as I sob. Then I just fall unconscious instead of falling back into the darkness.

Angel's POV

I'm so glad that he is finally eating. Then, when I take my arm away, I can see that he's started crying, but his eyes are still closed. As I hold him close I can't help but wonder what's made my William so upset. When he calms down I note that he's fallen unconscious. I pick him up as gently as I can and carry him all the way to my car. I'll buy him new things in LA. I only make one stop and that's to check out of the hotel and to grab my bags.

I had placed William in the back seat and made sure he was comfortable. As I drive I turn my head to check on him every minute. I'm gonna make sure Williams safe from now on. Something's hurting him, and I'm gonna find out what.

The drive seems longer then usual. I just need to get my Childe to a safe place as soon as possible. When I get to the hotel I take William out and carry him inside. Doyle sees me walk in and looks at me confused.

"Who's that?" he said indicating the small man in my arms.

"I'll explain everything later. Right now I need to get him to bed and feed him properly," I explain. He nods his head and goes up the stairs to open my door.

Doyle even helps me to get William under the covers. Then he looks at me questioningly as I sit on the edge of the bed.

"This is my Childe, William," I explain as I start to stroke William's hair.

Doyle nods then asks, "What happened to him?"

I can feel a frown form on my face, "He hasn't been feeding and went into a vampire hibernation, but instead of healing he was being dragged into the shadows. Where you become nothing."

Doyle looks thoughtfully at my William before saying, "Why hasn't he fed?"

My frown becomes even deeper as I answer, "A military, called the Initiative, put a chip in his head. It prevents him from hurting humans. Therefore he can't feed or defend himself from humans."

"Must be tough," Doyle commented. He left to get some blood after that. Guess he doesn't know what to say. I mean what do you say when a vampire's Childe can't defend himself? I guess it doesn't matter much, but I wish I had been there to watch the Initiative go down. I would have made them pay for what they've done to my William.

I gently brush a piece of hair out of his face. How anyone can even think of harming such a beautiful being is beyond me. He always had more humanity then any other vampire. He was always different. And that's why I love him so much. That thought makes me sigh. Because William will never love me again. William hates me. I've caused him too much pain, I hurt him too often.

After I finish feeding my Childe I gently slide under the covers and hold him. Because this is probably the only time I'll ever get to hold him like this. And I let myself fall asleep surrounded by only William.
