Leaving Her For Spike

He took care of me. He loved me with his heart and nonexistant soul. But, I am a slayer. I cannot love a souless vampire. My heart belongs to Angel... I know by the time he hears of my death he will walk into the sun. But, Spike, he has no one. Spike is alone. Drusilla is gone. Who can Spike take care of?

When I die- I can smell it, by the way. I can smell death coming soon. I will leave Spike one beautiful soul. A soul that he will cherish, love, and turn into one of him. A soul that will make him happy.

This is why I am leaving Spike the only person whose ties to me are greater than our shared blood. I am leaving Spike the only person I love more than Xander, Willow, and Angel. I am leaving Spike the one thing that could kill him.

I am leaving Spike Dawn.
