tamingthemuse, Prompt: All By Myself @ love_bingo & Prompt #13 : Shadows @ 52_challenge
Fandom: → BtVS
Word Count: → 1193
Genre: → AU
Beta: → Unbeta'd but Proofread
Disclaimer: → Property of Joss Whedon & M.E., not mine
Summary: → He didn't want Shanshu but there was definitely a desire for redemption – one victim at a time if necessary....
A/N: → For the purposes of this story, Spike attacked Xander in the episode “Seeing Red” not Buffy – there was a fledgling relationship before then but he read the signs wrong and went off to Africa....
So hungry.
His throat was dry, that arid, parched feeling adding to his overall discomfort. But it was no less than he deserved. They talked to him – all of them, with their gaping throats, crumpled spines, petrified faces. They asked him why, for a reason other than serendipity, for something that made it more than simply they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. When he couldn't answer, they cursed at him. The worst ones were the children – so confused, so scared. He could even tell which ones he had killed with Drusilla – they had numerous bite wounds that could clearly be seen – the wrist, the neck, the arms – phantom blood drip drip dripping onto the ground until the noise was another method of torture.
