Chapter 530
Spike felt different, now that he had a soul. He was glad to be able to see his own reflection again, he'd forgotten how handsome he really was. But for the first time in over a century he felt guilt, remorse, over his evil actions. And Spike committed many evil actions. With all the people he had killed and eaten, you would think he wouldn't be able to remember every single one. Spike remembered them all. He hadn't tortured many people, they were merely food, happy meals with legs. Spike didn't neccessarily take pleasure in people's suffering. Angelus however, he had dug up recent corpses and put them in loved one's homes with the message "Let not your sorrow die though I am dead." Spike couldn't imagine having to live with that guilt. Spike was different, for Angel his soul was a curse, Spike had chosen this. If the end was truley near, it seemed like a good time to take his place in the light. Spike would do what he could in the battle against the Master. But there was one thing he had to do, for his own sake.
