Author: Vire
Rating: Will be Nc-17 in the future
Summary: Spike got cursed with a soul instead of Angelus and inhereted
Drusilla's vissions. Might be some very light Buffy spike in the
beginning. (Won't last... I promise. Will be another Spike/Male pairing
later. Just havn't decided who yet.)

Chapter 2
“… sure about this.” The baritone flittered around the edges
of his
awareness. “I’d be dead if not for him. Besides, they wouldn’t be
trying to make each other all dusty if they were plotting together.” He
groaned as the slayer’s soft voice drew him back to full awareness. He
lightly tried to get up and swore as pain exploded through his body.
“Bloody hell.” He could immediately feel two sets of eyes on him.
“Wouldn’t ‘ave any blood f’r me, would you?”
“Yes, well. I’m afraid we don’t have anything here. It’s not exactly
council procedure to take in wounded vampires after all. Willow and
Xander went out to get some. Animal blood will do I take it.” The older
man’s voice sounded strained. Not that he could blame him. Wasn’t
everyday a watcher ended up with a wounded vampire on his couch. One
with a soul at that. “Ta mate. Cow will do, yeah. Just no pig, swill is
disgusting even when it’s heated. Not enough weetabix in the world to
make that eatable.”
The watcher took off his glasses to polish them as he looked down at
the
vampire in surprise. “You eat human food?” The vampire winced as he sat
up a bit. “Sure mate. ‘S bloody brilliant ‘s what it is.” The watcher
shook his head. “Never mind that. I’m rather curious as to why you
would help a slayer, or how you knew to be there at all.” “Yeah, what’s
this with you being all soul having. Vamps aren’t supposed to have
those.”
Spike winced again. “Angelus slaughtered some Gypsy princess, wanted
revenge on him for murdering their little pride and joy, except they
missed yeah. Zapped me instead and poof, instant soul. Got tortured by
‘Gelus for a few weeks till Dru freed me. After tha’ I went to the
gypsies to recover for a bit. Convinced them to anchor the soul so it
wouldn’t up and disappear.”
Giles blinked as he perched his glasses back on his nose. “I never
heard of a vampire getting cursed with a soul. Quite remarkable. And by
Dru you mean the Vampire Drusilla I take it. Childe of Angelus. I had
no idea she ever sired a childe.” Spike nodded. “Yeah mate.” He
swallowed hard. “Dru, she… She used to be a seer. Didn’t see her for
nearly a century till we met up in Prague a couple of years back.” He
tried to blink away the tears that were rushing into his eyes. “We
decided to mate. We had this ceremony except Angelus interrupted it. He
dusted Dru and left me alive. Got her visions somehow.” He choked back
a sob as the old pain engulfed him. It hadn’t gotten any easier. For a
century he had loved her, even if he couldn’t be with her, and feeling
her die…
The watcher and the slayer both turned their gaze downward. Leaving him
to his grief. He took a few steady breaths to pull himself together
again. “Shush my knight. Don’t be sad. Your princess is still with you
my sweet.” Drusilla stood near him. So achingly close. He half reached
out to her, wanting so much to touch her, hold her, but he couldn’t.
“Anyway. Had a vision of the chit being murdered by the master and the
world being swallowed by hell and all. Kinda like this world yeah.
Figured I’d drop by and do my bit.”
“I see.” The watcher took off his glasses, again, before placing them
back on his nose. “I take it you won’t mind if I do a spell to verify
that you do in fact have your soul.” Spike winced. “Not a real fan of
the
mojo. Always finds a way to bite you in the arse. ‘Specially in a place
like this. But yeah, if tha’s what it takes.”
“It is.” Giles grabbed some dust from a small brown bag and moved over
to Spike. “Fateor Anima.” He blew the dust over Spike’s prone form.
Making him glow bright blue mixed with red and green. “The red glow
confirms that you are in fact in possession of a demon. The blue glow
means you are indeed in possession of a soul.” Giles frowned as he
watched the blond vampire. “Feel like a soddin’ Christmas light. So
what’s the meaning of the green then?” Giles took off his glasses and
rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Frankly, I have no idea. I never heard
of that outcome to this spell before.”
Drusilla giggled in the background. “Such pretty colours my sweet. All
of us woven together. The fairies are dancing for us my sweet. And a
reunion on the way. Daddy will be so jealous. You always did outshine
him my knight.” She danced her way to Spike. “Show me, luv.” He
whispered quietly. Too low for the watcher to hear him. She smiled
secretly at him and pressed an incorporeal hand to his brow. He nearly
fell off the coach as the vision hit him. It was violent and quick but
one thing was certain. Angelus was coming to town. And where Angelus
went, Darla couldn’t be far behind.
