CHAPTER 12: The Slayer's Son

I guess by now you are curious about the past of Principal Robin Wood: why he hates Spike and wants to kill him. So here is what I know about it.

Robin Wood fist met Spike in the year 1977 at park in New York City. He was just a boy back then tagging along with mother as she did her patrol. The very arrogant Spike fought his slayer mother for a couple of minutes before being disrupted by him when he knocked down a garbage can which he had hid behind. Spike had vowed to meet the slayer again and finish what they had started. So when is mother died, Woods knew who had killed her. So from them on he had only one thing on his mind, find the one who had killed his mother and get the revenge he wanted.

SSSBBBSSSBBBSSS

The slayer, Spike and Woods had been slaying together these past few nights and every night since then, Woods had been trying to kill Spike but he unfortunately could not get any chance. Spike you could say was a very fortunate guy. . . And I had something to do about it.

Giles is not comfortable with Spike and that his chip was removed. He had been searching for whatever means and ways to make sure that Spike would not hurt anyone again. If the means found would kill Spike in the process so be it, that was what Giles had in mind. And after a long search, Giles had finally found it, a spell. With Willows help, they would use it. And lucky they had convinced the slayer to go on with it.

The Spell activates a stone, which had turned it into a worm-like probe, which entered Spike through his right eye. I could see that he was in much pain. The worm works as a type of memory inducer, it made Spike recall his past life. I wanted to see what Spike was recalling, so I channeled my energy so that my mind could see into his mind. . . . William had brown hair and wears glasses . . . I could see and feel the love he has for his sick mother. She too loves him, she then sings him a song . .. Early One Morning . . . In the physical world, they witness Spike going wild and evil but inside his mind he is desperately trying to hold onto his sanity and in the process he is experiencing great suffering.

I could not bear to see Spike experience such pain and suffering . . . So I use a counter spell to remove the probe, and it quickly falls out . . .Spike then returns to normal.

After that disaster with Spike, Giles and the slayer get into a fight about him. So now, Woods and Giles made an arrangement, Giles will distract the slayer while Woods will confront Spike. And this I do not like!

While the slayer and Giles are in the cemetery for a so-called training exercise, Woods brings Spike to his garage. He then uses the trigger (early one morning) to bring out the beast in Spike. As he fights Spike, Spike recalls everything that has happened . .. how he made his mother into a vampire so that she could get well and how his own mother wanted him to leave and eventually how he killed his mother. . . Then realization suddenly hit Spike, even though things went the wrong way, his mother still loved him and will always love him. With that he turns back into himself and beats Woods into a pulp. The slayer shows up just as Spike was leaving. She then confronts Woods.

As usual I watched everything happen, then my mobile phone began to ring. Picking it up, I learn that it was Spike on the other end. He was wondering of I would meet him at the park and talk to him even though it was late. I told him that I would be there to meet him.

SSSBBBSSSBBBSSS

I ran to the park . .there I saw Spike standing, waiting for me..

"Spike? " I called out.

He then turns around to face me.

"Oh My! What happened? " I gasped out as I saw his battered face.

"Got into a fight with . . "

"No need to tell me the details! " I quickly said, cutting him off. "The important thing now is that I get you patched up! Come with me, my house is just a block away. I've got a first aid kit there, is ifs ok with you? " I half told, half asked him as I grabbed his hand and begin to lead him towards my house.

"Ok love "

I did not ask any questions nor did I talk. I knew that all he needed right now was a companion. I knew that my sister did not approve of me bringing him into my home but they cannot do anything. After patching Spike up, I let him sleep in my guestroom. The next day I find a letter on his bed giving thanks for everything. He then told me he would call. No sooner after I finished reading the letter, my phone rang. It was Spike greeting me a good morning and thanking me again. Everything has been going great between Spike and me and things would still be getting to be better than the day before.
