BLAST FROM THE PAST

For disclaimer and warning look in Chapter One.

This is the information chapter, so it will be a little dull, please bear with me.

Chapter 3: Spike, a saint?

Everyone stood in shock. The unthinkable thought "Spike is a saint", had just been voiced!

"Holy shit!" Dawn was the first to speak

"Dawn!" came the voice Willow, Dawn turned red.

"Is this a joke?" Giles asked.

"Are you all nuts? First he is a good guy, now he becomes a saint, what next, a god!?" Buffy finally exploded.

"If you let me continue, this will become clear. You see, William became a saint by one action only, he became a vampire but he kept his soul. I guess you're all wondering how all this came about"

"Heck yea!" "Yes, we are." was said at the same time by Giles and Buffy.

"Well he had very and I mean very peculiar circumstances. According to our recent research and prior knowledge; While one day walking with his sister- in-law it seems that they were ambushed by a group of vampires. The vampires usually kill humans but William made them a deal: if his sister-in- law was spared he would join them willingly (new vampires were greatly rewarded by the master). So when William turned into a vampire, he did not lose his soul, it was apparently the selfless act which allowed him to keep his soul." Brother Peter let the information sink in. The gang was in shock and kept dead quiet while Brother Peter continued.

"Being a vampire with a soul was not the only thing that separated Williams from others. It also happened that his was another shock to the standard evil. William worked with his wife, the Slayer, to defeat all that was threatening humanity. The duo became very famous, the wife and William with his soul and mysterious powers-" at this point Brother Peter was interrupted by Giles.

"What mysterious powers?"

"It was rumored that William could walk in the sunlight and didn't need blood to sustain his life, nothing was proven to certainty."

"Oh my God, what if he gets to be like that? But wait a minute! Spike can't walk in the sunlight and needs blood, so how was that possible before?" asked a very confused slayer.

"He might have, as I said before it's only a rumor. You see people saw William walking in the sunlight while he was on the good side and they saw him getting burned when he was in the sunlight when he was on the dark side" Brother Peter.

"But what made him turn evil?" Willow asked timidly.

"Well, it is said that William worked with his wife. So when his wife died, he must have turned evil."

I still have a couple of questions about how this happened? What are the details of this turning?" Giles asked, expecting an answer from the all knowing monk

" There is nothing more I can tell you about William, the best source would probably be William himself, or Spike as you call him." said Brother William

"Come, this doorway will take you back home." The gang realized that they were in a private area facing a door to one room extending endlessly. They entered the room and when Brother Peter closed the door, there was a lightning flash. The next thing they knew, they were back at the Magic Box.

" So, did you enjoy your little field trip?" came a voice behind them.
