"And that's it, then? Well, the isn't going to be nearly as hard as I had expected".
As soon as the words escaped his lips, a man--or creature-- rose out of the sand. His hands were made of fire!
"Oh bugger this", Spike said in annoyance, yet that wasn't even a glimmer of how he was actually feeling.
Well, it's not like I'm going to get killed.
It was the creature that struck first. Spike had always wondered what is felt like to have flame scorch his skin. Now he knew. It really, really sucked. it was like the flesh was being torn away form his body.
Spike then struck ther creature where he knew it would hurt him. The pills.
"Take that, you wanker!"
The creature struck, and Spike struck harder. Finally, Spike had the bugger on the ground. he then snapped it's neck.
The vampire got his game face on and let out triumphant battle cry.
Spike had just sat down when he felt and odd sensation of tingling going up his legs. That sensation turned to immense pain. He looked down to find that hundreds upon hundreds of beetles were biting at him..........
well, there's the second part of spikes trials. but he still has a lot more ahead of him
