Forfeit

Spike's known vamps who kept pets.  Angelus did, once -- a tow-headed virgin, snatched straight from the seminary.  Mooned over him, to Darla's disgust, until Dru snapped his neck in a fit of jealous temper.

 

A weakness, keeping humans.  Anyway, it never lasted.  Demon's nature, always wanting more.  So the humans wound up drained and dead, or worse, turned and tossed away, because afterward, they weren't the same.  Not what was wanted, but merely what was left.  Nobody needed that sort of dirty reminder hanging about. 

 

Just one last look at his sleeping boy.

 

Spike's gone before Xander wakes up.

"Not what was wanted, but merely what was left." Gorgeous line.

Goes to get the watering can so that I can see your lovely seeds grow into something even prettier.

Thank you! But I think it may require lawn sprinklers. And fertilizer.
