"Everyone else I've met here is dull as a table lamp. Not that I blame them, of course. It's in their nature. They're just too... Human." "What am I then?" He inquired, his eyes searching hers intently. She smiled. "You're a riddle. I like riddles." The daughter of the infamous trickster God, Hel Lokidottir, spent her entire existence feeling like an outsider. Upon reaching maturity, she was appointed queen of Helheim. A strict, yet diplomatic ruler, she reigned over the underworld of the Nine Realms for centuries. Until one fateful day, when her whole life was turned upside down. On the grounds of disobedience, King Odin sentenced her to exile. Transported to Midgard by the Bifrost, she was discovered, naked and unconscious, in a massive crater, by a strange man with an even stranger name. Introducing himself as 'Spike ', he kindly provided her with a place to stay while stranded in the small town of Sunnydale, California. Little did they know that a war of epic proportions was brewing beneath their very feet; a faceless enemy with an insatiable appetite and the desire to devour them whole.

This is my own story of what I truly wanted to happen between Buffy and Spike and for Buffy to just finally realize that Spike was indeed the right man/vampire for her. All Rights Reserved to Crissy Alaimo
