“Why do all of these damn demon have to have slime for blood?” Cordy
whined. “I don’t know.” Angel said as he plopped down into a chair. “Oh
my god Angel! Get in here NOW!”
Cordy yelled as she rewound the message left on the answering machine.
*~*~*~*
“Hi you’ve reached Angel Investigations. Please leave a name, number,
and message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.” A cheerful voice
said. “Yeah peaches this is
Spike. I just needed to tell you something seeing as how in a few hours
I wont be able to. You were a good grand sire. You taught me well. And
somewhere down the line I loved
you. I still do. Just thought I’d tell you. Cause see my and Red are…
ending it. She’s going to kill herself and I’m going right behind her.
Every time I fall in love it comes back to fuck
me over. Anyway. Just wanted you to know. Tell the idiot and the demon,
maybe I’ll see you next life around. Good bye.”
*~*~*~*
“When did they leave it?” Angel asked frantically. “About a minute ago.
Probably right as we were walking in.” Cordy said her tone hysterical.
“Come on, It’s almost dawn they’ll wait
till then.” Angel said already running out of the office door. Not
even bothering to lock it. “I hope so.” Was all Cordy said as she buckled
up and Angel sped out of the driveway.
*~*~*~*
“No!” Spike yelled. “Why not?” Willow yelled back. “Why not? Because!”
Spike said. “Because why? Buffy’s gone. Tara left
me. Xander’s moving to L.A. and Giles is going back to England. So
why the hell not?” Willow yelled. “I’m still here.”
Spike whispered. “You don’t need me Spike. Go with Xander and Anya
to L.A. Angel will take care of you.” Willow whispered,
heavy tears running down your face. “Willow, I swear to every god and
goddess who is listening, if you do it, I’ll be
right behind you.” Spike told her grabbing her hands. “I can’t Spike.
I just can’t.” Willow whispered. “Damn it Willow.
You are the smartest, strongest person I’ve ever met in my entire life.
I know deep down into the pit’s of my unused soul,
that you will be okay.” Spike said pleadingly. “No. I’m not anymore.
I can’t live with it.” She whispered. “Okay then. I
need to call peaches. And Willow please not yet.” Spike begged her.
“I promise.” Willow said as she took a seat while
Spike went to find his phone.

“You ready love?” Spike asked, as he gripped her hand. “Yeah almost.”
She whispered. “Love. I want you to know something.
I love you.” He said and then kissed her. “You do?” She asked. “Yes.”
He said. “I love you too Spike.” After she said
those words the sun started rising. But all that could be heard was
the screaming as Spike and Willow both caught on fire.
~*~*~*~*
“NO!” Cordelia screamed as she threw he self at the two standing in
the sunlight. She dragged them the 2 feet back to the
crypt and threw the door shut. Cordelia was exhausted. She sat herself
down on the ground. Then she heard the most
horrible thing. It was a roar of agonizing pain. Like someone or something
was being ripped in half. “NO!” She heard Angel
bellow, before the door was thrown open. Tears were running down his
cheek. There was only one hope for Spike and Willow
now and there was not enough time. Cordy knew. Looking up into Angel’s
eyes she knew there was only one way. “Promise me,
you’ll turn me.” She whispered as she stood. “Cordy No.” Angel protested
weakly. “Fine then don’t. But I’m still doing it.
But if you won’t sire me don’t bother having me turned. I don’t want
to live and be chained to someone other then the one
I love.” Cordy said and then slit both of her wrists with the dagger
she carried around. Placing a wrist to both Willow
and Spike. She closed her eyes, as her grip on reality started slipping.
The last thing she felt was Spike and Willow
both sucking eagerly on her wrists. Finally it all stopped. She gasped
her last breath and with as much strength as she
could muster she whispered, “Love you my angel.” As she expelled her
last breathe.
“No!” Angel yelled. And ran to her side. “I love you too Cordy.” He
said before slipping into his demonic visage. He slit
his wrist and placed her lips to it. She sucked eagerly as his blood
started filling her veins, giving her back a little
life. Spike and Willow curled up to each other still out of it.
*~*~*~*
The 4 vampires spent and exhausted lay there sleeping until the call
of the night awoke them. And with the call of the
night awoke a new life. Cordy.
