Spike strode away down the back alleys and side streets back to his den, it was along time since he had met Transforgous in that back alley by the school, Drusilla had been alive then, he'd been walking with her, talking about their dinner when Transforgous had dropped down on them, stunned Dru and then tied up Spike with some sort of rope he had thrown up, well not literally, he'd just 'spat' the rope at Spike and Spike had found himself tied up.
Then Transforgous had said that he would kill him or leave him be but it all depended on a test, Spike had spat at him and swore to rip him apart. Transforgous had looked at him then and his look made Spike remember all the people he had killed and his mother.
"Spike, I will ask you two questions, answer them well"
"I'll kill you!"
"That's sweet, but try my patience again and you'll be screaming in pain."
"Fine, ask me the bloody questions"
"One, would you ever help the Slayer, out of choice?"
"Not so long as I have the ability to attack humans"
"Ok"
"Ok?"
"Two, would you ever love again if this" Transforgous indicated Drusilla "was dusted?"
"Kill her and I kill you"
"Just answer the question"
"What sort of question is that, Ugly" Spike spat
"Now, now that was very rude" crooned Transforgous
He than raised his hand and slammed spike against a wall, Spike's eyes rolled in his head
"Bloody hell!"
"What pleasant language you know, Answer my question"
"No"
"We shall see, and for the record my name is Transforgous"
Spike growled quietly, Transforgous walked up and 'sucked' the rope back into his body. Spike sprang at him and was propelled back by a Roman soldier's shield.
"Bye, Spike, I could say that it was lovely chatting to you, but id be lying"
Transforgous sprang up into the sky; Spike looked up in time to see a hawk take flight into the night.
