Chapter 14

*Spike's point of view*

I woke up with a start on a white couch in what was the starkest looking room I'd ever seen. A heavy weight bared down on me and I realized it was a giant sleeping ponce.

I smacked him and yelled "GET OFF ME"

Angel woke up with a start and looked around dazedly "Where the hell are we"

I looked at him and rolled my eyes "you think I have any bloody idea…. mate!"

He shook his head and walked around the room that looked like a doctor's surgery and tried opening the white gleaming door. "It won't budge this is starting to get weird" he grimaced

I sighed, was I stuck in purgatory with one of the five people I disliked most in the world…

Suddenly the door began to open and a man dressed in white appeared.

"Liam and William…you may come through we are ready for you" He smiled

"And who the hell are you?" I asked skeptically….no way was I getting probed behind no aliens behind that god forsaken door.

The man laughed "We are the powers that be champions…and you will both be rewarded if you follow me through that door."

Angel shrugged "What do we have to loose Spike?"

I sighed realizing I had absolutely zero options anyway and followed the broody one and the smiling man through the door.

He sat down at a desk in again what looked like a doctor's office and asked us to sit in front of him.

"Sooooooo what exactly is happening here?" asked Angel.

"The two of you are about to be rewarded for your bravery and averting the apocalypse, however only one of you will Shansu back into a human or sorts." He replied cryptical

I rolled my eyes "Congratulations forehead boy looks like you get to lose your fangs." I felt like I was about to vomit, but was still curious to what my reward would be.

The man shook his head "No William, you will become human"

"WHAT!" exclaimed Angel furiously

I gulped…human? Me? How was that even possible! I was William the Bloody….Spike

"Now Liam, we understand your sacrifices have been great but we have a reward for you that we believe you will be much happier with." He said in a soothing tone

My head kept reeling, I was going to be human….a real boy

"And what exactly will that be.." he grumbled beside me.

The man shushed him and turned his attention back to me "William, you sought out a soul when soulless…no Vampire has ever achieved this and now you have averted two end of days. No man or vampire has ever achieved this, however we know you will be a target and will leave you with some of your abilities to protect you and the girl."

I actually thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head "Errr cheers?"

The man laughed heartily at my shock…"I need you to go through that door William while I speak to Liam"

I patted Angel on the shoulder and made a run for it…

*Angels POV*

I watched as Spike dashed for the doorway and shook my head…William the goddamn bloody was going to Shanshu.

"So what exactly is the deal here?" I asked dejectedly deep down knowing I didn't deserve to be human…

"We still need you, another Evil will cross your path and you will need to defeat it to gain the ultimate reward. However we do believe the only way you will achieve this is to have your soul permanently anchored and be able to day walk."

I raised my eyebrows and smiled "Well I guess I am always up for a challenge being a champion and all"

"You will also need some help.." he smiled his eyes glinting mischievously

Suddenly I heard the door Spike had just entered crack open with a stream of light beaming through

"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes, handsome" said an all too familiar voice

I jumped out of the chair and stood frozen "Cordelia…" I whispered
