He wished he hadn't thought that because the next thing he thought about was Buffy. She had often gone around alone, in the night. He missed her deeply. It had been a month since Buffy had jumped off the tower to save Dawn, and the pain hadn't gotten any more bearable. She hadn't believed that he loved her, that was something he would never get over. He remembered looking at her still body…
It was then Spike noticed that the young girl he had spotted earlier wasn't alone. She was being followed by 4 vampires. The girl turned into an alleyway, from her quickened pace it was obvious she knew she was being followed.
Why do they always go into the ally?
He sighed.
Guess I should lend a hand.
As the vampires turned into the alleyway, Spike dropped his cigarette and quickly made his way to the girl and the vampires. What he saw as he approached would have taken his breath away, if he actually breathed. The young girl he was going to protect had her game face on. She was a vampire. Shouldn't he have been able to tell? One of the other vampires was obviously thinking the same.
"You're a vampire!"
Spike, realising that he hadn't been spotted yet moved out of their visual range. Unfortunately, this meant that he couldn't see them. Although he could still hear everything that was said.
"If you've been around along as I have your bound to pick up a few tricks," he heard the girl vampire reply.
"We followed you for 4 blocks! Why didn't you say something?" Asked another voice. Spike detected an undertone of anger in the voice.
The girl vampire just laughed.
"NO ONE MAKES A FOOL OF ME!" Shouted voice number 1.
This statement was followed by a series of crashes, groans and various other noises. Then silence. Spike couldn't resist, he went towards the alley. What he saw actually made him laugh. The girl vampire stood triumphantly, her game face gone, surrounded by 2 unconscious vampires. Spike could guess what had happened to the other 2.
"Very good love. But not as good as me." He told her. Spike produced a stake and lunged at her. The girl raised her hand and Spike quickly realised his feet were no longer on the ground. In fact, they were about a metre above it.
Oh crap.
"I beg to differ." She told him with a smirk. "And soon everyone will know my power! People will tremble at the name Malo, and I will rule all!"
With a flick of her wrist Spike was flung back into the street. And with that she left, skipping merrily down the street.
