They belong to Kuzui, Sandollar, WB, Joss Whedon (that punk), and Mutant Enemy. I make no money on this- Don't sue me, okay? Summary: I'm back! (I'm not dead, really!) Let me say right off the bat, people, that this isn't my typical story. Frankly, it's weird. =) Anyway, this has little to do with Buffy or Angel. The main characters are Spike and Willow. Live with it. I think they're cute. Okay, maybe not in the conventional sense, but I hate convention. Enjoy it (you'd better!). A big thank you to Jen the noodlebrain for editing, and idea-type stuff. ************************ "Footsteps" by Ingrid ************************ The warehouse was vacant and chilly, with almost its own breeze. She was surprised to feel cold- she hadn't thought vampires could. The rusty metal bars pressed into her back, but she had grown used to sitting still like this that she barely noticed. She was dirty and tired, and her ripped clothes looked thin and old. Her hair was ragged and dull- she couldn't remember the last time she'd washed it. Her thoughts wandered as the cage swung a bit, making her sick to her stomach. She pondered the mysteries of life absently; lethargically. A Willow in the wind. The steel was cold against her cheeks, but somehow comforting. Her face was relaxed, but her stomach was churning. She looked up slightly, and the movement disturbed her sense of balance- she felt heady, dizzy. A satisfied smile spread across her face as she saw the skylight above her. Maybe he'd forgotten about it this time. Maybe when morning came, this could be over. She welcomed the agonizing death, longed for the burning of her own flesh. Footsteps echoed through the large airy room, but she didn't turn around. Most likely it was him again, but she didn't really care. "Helloooo!" she heard an Englishman- well a vampire, drawl out. She said nothing, as if she were dust at the bottom of the cage. "Cat got your tongue?" He called again, approaching. She could feel him, one of her own kind, as he came. It was something she'd accepted easily, as if she'd always been this way. There was nothing left of her humanity, and nothing left to remind her that she hadn't. With each day she her old life faded further and further into oblivion. She was a listless body in a cage now. That was all. He approached her side of the cage, his face a few feet below hers. "You haven't eaten for days," Spike observed pleasantly, trying to broach the subject gently. "Why should I," she mumbled back. "I don't know what's wrong with you, Willow. Vampires just aren't supposed to starve themselves for nothing. Are you staging a protest?" "I'm tired. What do I care if I live or die?" "Come on, now- that's no way to talk. Here." He moved towards the crank, lowering her cage close to the floor. Grabbing a crystal goblet from atop a wooden crate, he crossed the room again to stand next to her. "Open up," he requested. She did as he asked, remembering the skylight. He pressed the bright glass to her lips and she made a wish. The sweet crimson liquid filled her mouth, and she swallowed with difficulty, choking on the last of it. "There." He took the cup back and looked at her idly. She sighed and sunk to the bottom of her new home, relieving the pressure of her pounding head by pressing her temple against the icy floor of the cage. She had to admit, she was beginning to feel better. Her stomach gave a satisfied growl, glad to have the nourishment. That had been the thirteenth day. *** END, Part one. Hey- Tell me what you think! I'm writing about different characters! It's fun!

I've been bored. So I went into my story and finally spell checked it. I also made a few minor changes. So, let me know what you think. As before, the characters of Buffy the Vampire slayer do not belong to me. They belong to Joss Whedon, the WB network, Mutant Enemy, etc, etc, etc. Jäzen and Verena are my own creations. If you wish to use them or the knowledge of them for anything, let me know. If you have trouble with the tiny bit of German spoken in the story, please let me know. I'll be happy to translate. Oh! One thing I *did* forget to mention when I first wrote Inner Demons: the view and opinions of Jäzen do not, necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the writer. One of these days, if I get *really*, *really* bored, I might write a profile on him. But, anyway, without further blabbering from me, here is...
