Scene 1

1878

"Early one morning just as the sun was shining, I heard a young maid singing in the valley below...." Anne sang to her son William while they were sitting in there living room

"You have such a beautiful voice mother." He said.

"Oh William, stop it."

"I mean it mother, your voice is beautiful."

"A young man like you should be out and about, enjoying himself, not listening to his old mum sing."

"None sense, there is no place I would rather be."

"What would I do without you William," she said as she touched her sons cheek. "You will never have to find out, I'll always look after you, mother," he said.

Flashback over

                   Spike woke in his crypt to those haunting words. "I will always look after you." Even though he did not have a soul, the memories of his mom still haunted him.He made a promise that he did not keep, he ruined.

                 He got out of bed and put on some jeans, a black long sleeved shirt with black boots and went out into the night. "I will always take care of you." It ran through his head until he thought his head would explode. He put his hand to his head and closed his eyes. When he opened them he saw Buffy and the rest of the scoobies. "Well, well look whose lurking in the night," Xander said.

 "I'm not really in the mood tonight, Xander," Spike said irritated.

 "Whats the matter, Spike? Loose a game of kitten poker?"Xander said. 

"Sod off, Xander," Spike said with anger. 

"You know what, Spike......." "Xander, that's enough," Willow said as she grabbed Xanders' arm. 

                   Spike kept walking when out of no where a demon tackled him from the side and in the process scratched Spikes' chest leaving three large bloody claw marks . He cried out in pain  Buffy ran and grabbed the demon, Buffy had never seen a demon like this . It was seven feet tall, and it had pale grey skin with green, glowing cracks, lips with blue veins, glowing green eyes, and spikes on the head. Buffy was sure that she was in for a fight when it ran off. "Well that was kind of disappointing," Buffy said as she turned to check if Spike and the others were okay. "Spike, you okay?" She asked. He got up slowly with Xander's help. He clutched his chest as blood seeped through his hand."Yeah, I'm......" right then, Spike collapsed to the ground.
