Summary: Jack hangs in his chains, and wonders how he’s going to get out of this one.



Jack hangs in his chains, and wonders how he’s going to get out of this one.

He’d been tempted by the offer of a ‘final’ death, but not enough to acquiesce. No matter – Spike was stronger and Jack didn’t get a choice. He’d struggled, afraid, when fangs plunged towards his neck; he’d screamed as they sank in. Then pain overtook fear, and death had been a relief.

At least he’d woken, but to existence as a blood-bank for a vampire, chained in a basement and drained at least once a day.

Jack just hopes his team will find him soon…

Eep. Renewable food supply--I hadn't thought of that. ::tries to have faith in his team, or maybe the Doctor's psychic paper::

Renewable food supply--I hadn't thought of that.

I've read one too many Spike/Xander fics where Xander tries to stop Spike having to kill anyone by asking if he can't just 'live' on Xander's blood alone, and Spike replying that one person just isn't enough. I've long had the thought that Jack would be a perfect vampire's pet in that respect.

Poor Jack. I have a go at everyone else for what they put him through, and then I put him through this!

I'm sure someone will rescue him soon, though :-)

Oh, wow! Very dark, I guess Spike was wrong and Jack really can't die. Nasty...

[unfeathered]

Well, it was one possible outcome...

Nasty...

Thank you :-)

oooh, ouch. Great direction you went, though.

Thanks! I could see so many ways it could have gone. This one just sort of happened!

oooooooh I hadn't thought of this! What Jack could be to a vampire...no need to go hunting, talk about eternal take away!

I loved this, especially in comparison to your Angel/Jack piece which was so different, yet could have the potential to be so similar:)

I have to admit that I've obviously read far too much Spander fanfic because Jack's immortality seemed to be just begging for a scenario like this!

Well, Angel has a soul, don't you know? *g*
