Spike chuckled.  "Well, yeah, that's the short of it.  He turned me.  Name was Angelus.  He's the wanker I talked about, vampire with a curse.  He's got a soul.  Terribly broody and tortured, out savin' the world, that sort of thing.  I was part of a vampire 'family' of sorts.  Angelus, his Sire Darla, and another childe of his, Drusilla.  Angelus, umm, broke me in proper.  Vampire families tend to have a lot of sex, and there's usually a fair amount of violence and torture thrown in.  By the time he left twenty years later, when he got cursed, I'd gotten tough, turned into a nasty dangerous killer.  Just like Daddy."
