Obsession

Author’s note: Season six - after Spike realizes his chip doesn’t work.

Blood ran down her body, coating it slick and wet; the aroma filling the air. She was a work of art - his art, his work – pain, suffering, compulsion, and obsession.

He hadn’t wanted it this way. He had wanted her as she was; his golden goddess, walking in the sun and bringing him into the light.

But she refused to listen, refused to hear him. Ignored his constant declarations of love and devotion.

They said she was his obsession… but what did they know of love?

If she would have accepted him- accepted his love- they could have avoided this. He would have given anything for her, yet she rejected him still.

Now she was broken. Beautiful, still, bloody, her eyes glazed over, her heartbeat faded.

He would have given her anything.

Raising his bleeding wrist he started the cycle again.

“Drink my love. Drink and be mine for eternity.”
