Falling For The Slayers Enemy| BTVS Spike FF

Passing The Test

*Samantha's P.O.V.*

I turned over in bed hoping to see Spike, I saw nobody. I squeaked seeing a note, I sat up and read it.....

'Sam, 

I love you with all my dead heart... I don't wanna leave ya, but I don't wanna hurt ya. I gotta go help you and myself, I'm going to get my soul because I feel like shit because of this. I love you so much and it hurts me but I don't know who this hurts more, I don't wanna say goodbye but I have to...

Spike' 

I whimpered as I put the note down, I covered my mouth with my hand. I bit my lip and didn't know what to say, how long would he be gone? Would he get his soul back or would he be killed? Would I see him again? All these questions wouldn't be answered. I groaned and looked at the ground, all these thoughts ran through my mind that I couldn't stop. I threw the note in anger and rubbed my face, I threw the blanket off of me and stood up. I tried to see if this was all a joke and rushed through my house hoping to see his little face poke out and his smug smile look at me like he pranked me, the thing is... I couldn't see it. It was like I tried for no reason, this was his soul we were talking about. I whined in anger and stomped my foot, I heard something fall and I went towards the noise. I looked to see something Xander gave me a while back before Spike and I got together, the little friendship bracelet he made for Willow, Buffy and I. I picked it up with a small smile and slid it on deciding to go to his house.

I walked through the neighborhood and got to his parents house and I knocked on the outside basement window. I saw his head peak out and I saw him go open the window "Sam! Nice seeing you here! Come in!" I giggled and hopped inside trying not to hurt myself. I looked at my friend "Hey.." "Whats up?" he asked in concern "I um... I got into a fit this morning and the bracelet you gave me, Buffy and Willow... fell so I thought of you!" "Why did you get into a fit? Did you and Spike get into a fight?" "No! No... Spike kinda... went away during the night not even bothering to wake me..." "What? I'm only concerned for you" "Of course you are..." "I never liked Spike" "I know..." "Do you know why he left?" Xander asked sitting on his bed "I um... to get his soul back" "Why in the hell would he do that?" he asked quickly standing up. I groaned "Do I have to go over the whole story?" I said rolling my eyes.

Xander sighed and sat back down slowly "No... just... don't tell me anymore concerning things so I would have to stand up again" I giggled "Here, I'll sit next to you" I said walking over to him and doing so. Xander smiled at me "So... why did he go...? to get a soul?" "Guilt..." "Over what?" I sighed and looked at him "You told me not to tell you anything that would make you stand up" "So? You came over to tell me all this!" "Spike tried to force me into... blowing him..." "Woah woah woah, haven't you already?" "I mean... yeah but-" "Why would he force you?" "Look Xander, I don't know... he wouldn't tell me! Last night before we went to sleep, Spike and I got over it! Then he got up and left!" Xander sighed "Will you tell anyone else?" "Possibly..." 

*Spike's P.O.V.* *When he got to the place*

I parked and turned off my motorcycle, I felt even more guilt rush over me. I sighed and got off of the bike, this place... where it was. It was always day so I would burn, I walked over to the beach and went passed somebody telling me to get permission "I'm not asking for permission fay" I told him going to the cave. As I got inside I started to slow down, in the shadows there were marks on the walls. I grabbed my lighter out of my pocket and used it to see these statue like things, the flame was enough for me to be able to see. I moved the lighter slightly to see more marks, my mouth opened slightly as I held my lighter up and closed it. I walked inside the cave a bit more, I heard a deep voice call out to me "You seek me vampire?" I looked over to see a huge mask like figure "You did the finger paintings? Nice work..." "Answer me....." "Yeah, I seek you" "Is it something..about a woman?" "I think you read me loud and bloody clear" I said smirking at the figure. I seen the voice and its shadow move its hand "and you want to change back to your former self?" "Yeah..." I saw his glowing teal eyes blink.

It started to laugh and I tilted my head in slight annoyance "What?" "Look what shes reduced you to..." "I'm still myself! Its that I-" "You were a legendary dark warrior and you let yourself be cast righted, yet you have the audacity to crawl in here in frustration" "I'm still a warrior..." "Your a pathetic excuse for a demon..." "Yeah?" I raised my eyebrows "I'll show you pathetic, give me your best shot" "You'll never undoer the trials required at your request" "Heh, do your worst... but when I win... I want what I came here for" I said glaring "Then she'll see my love..." I whispered as it stepped back. I went into a different place of the cave and took off my shirt exposing my torso "You understand then?" "Yeah! Yeah... Its not like I haven't been clear about it oh great mysterious one... This is a test. I get what I want once I pass said test, I've been at the side of the table" "Yes..." "and since you've preferred, we fight out gladiator style and since this has been provided-" I was looking at the ground and felt somebody behind me.

I looked over and smirked "Oh here we go then, this may be luck in action for you... I take it this is kill or be killed sort of thing then?" "To the death..." "Right" I said closing my eyes and nodding. I looked over at my opponent as he moved slightly "Very well now... entertain us" he punched both side of his fists together and they went up in flames "Son of a-" the fist flew at my fist, he swung again but I dodged as I crawled backwards a bit. I hit the wall as his other fist hit my face, I fell and positioned myself with my hand. I wiped my face "Had enough?" I said standing up and I got punched in the face, I fell backwards and moved to my left hoping to mess with him. I went around and walked towards him and swung but he dodged, punching me in the face again. I fell towards a wall pushing myself off of it, being met with another punch to the face and he punched up to my chin. I fell to the ground, head down. 

About to have another swing at me, I stood up grabbing his hand. I groaned and threw his hand away, he moved backwards looking at me in shock. I looked down at my hand started to shake it "Bad move, bad move... bad move!" he went to punch me again but I grabbed his hand and flipped him over and landed him on his back. I kicked his balls and he turned over, I bent over him and grabbed his head twisting his neck hearing that pleasing snap. I looked up at my gift giver "Looks like local boy loses..." he inched closer "So it would appear..." "Good on me then... I get what I came for... I passed then" "Indeed... you have passed... first stage of the test" I nodded and stopped "Wait... first stage?" it nodded. I clenched my jaw "Bugger"
