Summary:This is A Moment in Time II.  It takes place during Amok Time.

All hail the Scifi Channel for uncut Trek glory. This is told from

Spock's POV. 



----

I could feel his anger.  I tried to buy time by fiddling with my stylus

and padd--and he caught my hand.  My hand, shaking as it had been

shaking for two days, out of control as I was out of control.



No, I wanted to scream.  Jim, don't touch me, please, if you touch me I

am lost.  Take your hand away before I lose it, Jim, please don't touch

me.



I could have said those things, but I did not.  I could have kept

control for just a few more seconds--I think I could have, I hope I

could have--but I did not.



I should have known that I could not trust myself with humans.  They are

too fascinating, too enticing for their own good, or for mine.  



I should have known that it would be a human who would be my undoing.



I felt my control go and my mind rip into his, flooding him, forcing his

heart to beat faster, his pupils to dilate--



We parted.  And he was parted from me, and never parted--



What have I done?  What shall I do?



I shall tell him the truth about my condition, at the least.  As one

bonded to a Vulcan, he now has a right to know.  Even if he shall never

need to use that knowledge.



I hope she-who-will-be-my-wife will understand.  I hope she will

forgive me, because of our long friendship.  I would not wish to lose

her friendship through my lack of control.

The End.
