Backfire - Spander Files

Angel let out a big sigh. “Now, the bad news.”
“Now, the bad news? Was there good news?” turning to Giles, “Did I miss the good
news?”
“Poor choice of words. Sorry.” Angel paced back and forth a couple times, then
came to a stop against the opposite wall of the office. It did not escape Xander’s
attention that the vampire was now standing as far away from him as possible.
“Um, you see, you will continue to feel this way. You’ll feel pulled toward Spike.
You’ll crave his bite. Not to bring death, your brain won’t let that happen. But to
bring…release. Completion.”
“Okay. I’ll crave Spike to bite me again.” He looked from Angel to Giles and back.
“Fix it, please.”
Angel shrugged. “Don’t know how.”
“Um…not good enough.” He turned toward Giles, again. “Fix it, please.”
“Oh, yes, well, I’ll have to research…”
“Angel said that there is nothing written about this.”
“That I know of, I said. I haven’t ever wanted to reverse it, so I never really
looked.”
“You did this to someone?” Xander asked, not really surprised.
“Well, yeah. It was a very long time ago.”
“How did it end before?”
“Oh, she just…died. Or, you know, I killed her.” Angel fidgeted and managed to
look even more uncomfortable in his own skin. “We don’t have to talk about this
right now, do we?”
