Chapter one: Rewards
Spike opened his eyes and stood up.
He looked around, trying to find out where he was, but everything was black, even with his super vampire night time vision he couldn’t see a thing.
“William” he heard a male and female voice say at the same time
“What’s going on? Where am I? Who are you?” He asked them, sounding more panicky than he intended
“William, we are the oracles, we are messengers from the powers that be” they told him.
Spike turned around, trying to determine where the voices were coming from but they echoed all around him
“You are on a dimensional plane, somewhere in between life and death; do you remember fighting with Angel against the demons?” They asked him
“Oh yeah, let me guess, you’re here to talk my ears off before you send me to hell, am I right?”
“Quite the contrary William, you sacrificed yourself to save the world twice, we are here to give you a reward…a choice”
“A choice?” he asked, trying not to sound as interested as he was “in what?”
“You’re in love with the slayer, aren’t you? “I don’t see what that has to do with anything, but, yes, I love her” Spike said
“Then that is your choice” the oracles told him
At this point Spike was getting really annoyed with all the cryptic mumbo-jumbo they were telling him
“Ok, do you want to tell me that again, this time, with a little bit more information?”
“You get a choice William, you can shan-shu, become human, and we will send you to your slayer. You will still have the strength, the enhanced senses, the ability to fight and protect the lower beings, and the guilt from your past wiped away, but you will be mortal”
“So that’s it then, I can have the choice to be a guilt-free human, happy with the woman that I love?” he asked them, knowing that there would be a catch
“Yes, you can choose to become human, or you can choose Angel and we will make him human in your place”
“What? What kind of a choice is that? He asked them
“It is the one that we are giving you, which of you do you chose?”
Spike closed his eyes for minute, memories of his sweet, golden slayer filling his mind, she was everything to him, and all he wanted was for her to love him.
“Angel” he told them
“What?” the oracles asked him, shocked by his answer
“You heard me, make Angel human and send him to Buffy”
“You are willing to give up every bit of love and happiness that you could ever experience for him? Why?”
“No, not for him, for her. I love her, but she doesn’t love me, she can never love me, she loves Angel, and if it’s him that makes her happy, then that’s what I want” he told them, unshed tears in his beautiful blue eyes
“Very well, if you want your slayer to be happy, then that’s what you get. Once again you have proven yourself worthy. Good luck, William”
Before Spike had the chance to say or do anything, his world started spinning, he was blinded by a bright white light then…BANG! He landed on a cold hard floor.
He didn’t move, didn’t want to think about what he had just given up. He could still see her in his mind, he could even smell her.
“s-spike?” he heard someone softly say his name
He sat up and turned around and that’s when he saw her, she was here, his slayer was here, standing in front of him, tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Spike, you’re here?” she asked him before wrapping her arms around him and hugging him. Spike closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her, letting her cry onto his shoulder
“Spike, I thought I’d lost you” she cried
They stayed in each others arms until Buffy pulled away with a shocked look on her tear strained face
“Spike…you…you have a heartbeat” she told him, hands on his chest
Spikes hands flew up to his pulse point on his neck and sure enough, his heart was beating. He looked into Buffy’s eyes
“Buffy” he whispered, before passing out on the floor.
Before Buffy could react, the front door burst open and someone walked in out of the sun
“Angel?” Buffy asked
“I’m…I’m alive” he told her, before, he to, passed out on the floor
