Carefree.

Spike grinned up at his Sire and licked his lips. Nothing wrong with helping was there? He was helping and being so good now that Angel was home. Angel was home for real and he had to make sure in case he went away like before. He was never leaving Angel again. If he was really really really good then Angel would never leave and he could be happy forever. Him and his Sire together again like before. Except this time they would help people and not eat them.

Angel was watching him with a confused look on his face. God knows why, he was being good. Sniffing the wound on his Sire's stomach he winced at the smell of pain and healing. He'd never liked the smell. Hence why he'd always tried to stay healthy and unwounded. Angel sighed and muttered something about the fact that Spike shouldn't be in that position. Spike frowned. What was wrong with him being between his Sire's legs? He was only going to clean him.

Smiling up at Angel he tried to explain himself before his Sire got mad. "I'm going to care for you Sire. Make you all better. Don't you worry." Angel sighed again so Spike waited for his answer. He was being so good.

"Spike. Stop it. Come out from there and go to sleep. You shouldn't be awake should you? You need to rest and so do I." Angel flinched when Spike lent a little too far up and caught a sensitive area. "Gentle!" he hissed and was surprised when his childe shook his head and placed a hand on either side of his hips. "Er...Spike?"

The insane vampire smiled again and nuzzled the still warm flesh from feeding. The stomach muscles beneath his face flexed and tensed at the feel and he chuckled slightly. Angel was ready for pain not comfort. Spike gently pulled at the bandages with his fangs and ripped them off. Angel gasped and grabbed his head only to pull it away from his wounds.

"Spike! No!" the older vampire hissed and tugged at the short wavy locks of his childe. He did not need to deal with this right now. He was too hurt to stop Spike if he really wanted to hurt him. He'd been feeding well so now he was nearly back up to full strength and the humans were finding it hard to control him all the time. Angel just hoped that if he used his sire voice it would deter his boy from harming him.

Spike pulled back from his sire's commanding hands and grabbed them in his own, only to pin them to the bed at his sire's hips. "No. Gonna fix you right up." He smiled down at Angel and lent back down to his wound. The dark haired vampire tried to kick off the blond but soon his legs were also pinned beneath the weight. Angel closed his eyes and waited for the pain to take him. He hoped that Wesley could hear this.

He waited and waited for the pain to start and was shocked when he felt none at all. Of course there was the constant sting that he always had after a large wound, but there was no jabbing pains in his abdomen. Slitting his eyes open slightly he watched as Spike dipped his head and again and lapped the dried blood from the mark. Angel blinked and looked again. Sure enough Spike was licking at the tender spots and avoiding where it hurt most. Defiantly not what he'd expected.

"Erm...Spike?" He waited for his childe to at least look up. When he didn't Angel shifted his weight slightly to get his attention. "What are you doing?" Spike grinned and some blood dripped form his lips onto the covers beneath them. Angel waited for an answer and watched as Spike looked between his face and the wound before settling on the wound.

"Have ta look after you. If I don't then who will? Then who'll look after me?" Spike released one of Angel's hands and knelt back to trace a small circle round the slash mark. "Need to move. Get more good things." Without a pause Spike was to his feet and walking into the bathroom. Before Angel could wonder what had happened to make Spike feel so caring he was back with more bandages and a damp flannel.

Climbing back onto the bed and seating himself in between Angel's legs, Spike lent forward and dabbed lightly at the wound. Angel winced slightly as a piece of loose skin was moved, but overall Spike was very gentle and very soon he was arching up to let Spike wrap around the bandages. Spike smiled as he fixed them in place and lent over to place a gentle kiss on top. "And a kiss to make it better." He smiled remembering what his mother had told him so long ago. Angel was lying back and purring in comfort.

Spike grinned and flopped onto the bed next to him before curling on his side to nestle next to his sire. Angel smiled and reached over to ruffle his hair. "Thank you for looking after me Spike." Spike patted Angel's chest and fell into the land of dreams knowing his sire was safe.

Three days had passed since the demon incident and Spike had made a drastic change in his behaviour. Instead of only being intrigued in what Angel or his friends were doing, Spike was more inquisitive as to what was happening elsewhere. He was generally more alert and much healthier than before. Spike was back to his normal weight and he spent time walking round Wolfram and Hart (with people watching out for him of course) and finding things to do.

However, his sanity and speech had barely improved and sometimes Angel had to be called to find out what the other vampire was trying to say. Spike had already decided that the High containment area was full of fun and laughs. He liked to babble to the inmates and they'd babble back. Some were more insane then Spike and others were quite sane, just dangerous.

The only person that Spike was kept far far away from was a murderer by the name of Pavayne. Spike did mind entirely. He told Angel that Pavayne was a cheater and was playing bad games with the devil. Of course, Angel just nodded and let Spike get back to his conversation with the bra knar demon that had tried to eviscerate half of the world.

Spike was kept under surveillance by cameras and six security guards that were now used to the vampire's presence. Angel was weary of leaving Spike alone with the murders but he was convinced that it did Spike good to talk to other people by the A.I. team. Fred was on Spike watch today and she was sitting with some work to do at one end of the corridor whilst Spike bounced happily up and down the aisle.

The assorted demons and humans were watching the vampire and some were even nodding their heads in greeting. Spike waved to a few and sidestepped some others before he found someone he wanted to talk to. A young girl was sitting in one corner of her cell with her back to the entrance. Walking slowly towards the bars Spike was careful not to startle the girl. She was so small. What was she doing in here?

Spike held two bars in his hands and felt the rough surface of rust scratch across his palms. This was old. Very old. But the girl in there was only about ten. How could she be in here? "Hello?" he whispered cautiously. Sire always said to him to be careful. Every morning he said it and every morning Spike listened. Had to be careful.

The girl turned and her black hair swished to the side to reveal her eyes. They were different. One was red and the other was normal brown colour. Spike watched as she stood from her position and sauntered over to the front of the cell. As with all the inmates, she had to stop about a metre away from the entrance or she'd be shocked by 10,000 volts of electricity. Spike watched when she cocked her head to the side and grinned manically showing pointed teeth.

"What are you doing here vampire? Where do you originate from?" the voice didn't suit her. The ten years olds voice sounded animated and too...human for her. This wasn't right...Spike took a step back and sat away from the bars before answering.

"From London. 'S where Sire found me and bit me. Made me like him. Yup. Yes he did." The girl nodded and turned in a full circle before copying Spike's position on the floor. She smiled again and Spike shivered at the cold look she gave him. Something was wrong here. He smiled shakily at the girl and she laughed at him.

"Don't be afraid weakling. Missy wont hurt you. Just everything else that doesn't understand. You're different. You're in my world." The girl's dark hair swished again as she shook her head and gnashed her fangs together. Spike stood and backed away again slightly. This girl was going on the bad list. She smelt of death even if she had been here a while.

The beeper on Fred's watch went off to signal Spike's time up. He had to go back to the office for a while and be fed. Spike sighed in relief and stood up, as did the girl. "I...I havta go now. Sire says I have to go eat. Blood. 'S nice. But you know that don't you." The girl nodded and her clawed hand flashed as she tried to go against the electric force field. Spike was gone before she'd even lifted a finger.

Running up to Fred and taking her hand he let her take him away from the scary girl. Missy or whatever her name was called after him. "You go now William. Fly fly!" Spike wished he could. Just so he could get away faster. Fred squeezed his hand slightly and he let the girl fade from his mind. Sire and friends would make it better. They always did.

##########

Spike sipped his blood with shaking hands as Fred patted his knee. He was scared out of his mind. Sire and Wesley were talking about him and he didn't know why. Sire was angry, Wes was mad, Gunn was trying to keep them calm and Fred was keeping him calm. Who or what the hell was Healing House?
