Kitten

When Seras was young she'd had a soft spot for kittens – cute little fluffy things with large, saucer-sized eyes, blindly trusting and ever-so-innocent.

When Seras was young that's what they'd all called her – Kitten. She was rather small (didn't fit the stereotypical role of a policewoman) with her fluffy blonde hair and large, baby-blue eyes, blindly trusting and ever-so-innocent.

Kitten.

When Seras was slightly older she developed a phobia of cats – fully grown creatures with sleek, feline bodies and sharp, pointed claws that could tear human flesh to ribbons, cold and calculating and merciless in the pursuit of their prey.

When Seras was slightly older nobody called her Kitten anymore – they were all far too dead. And yet, even if they had still been alive, she doubted she deserved that friendly nickname anymore.

When Seras grew up she stop being a 'Kitten' and instead became something else altogether. Something cold and cruel and calculating and ever-so-deadly. Something that prowled the night with grace and beauty as it jumped nimbly from rooftop to rooftop.

She could kill - would kill, had killed before - and the situation wasn't changing any. She doubted it ever would for as long as she lived, which just happened to be forever.

She was immortal.

She was a vampire.

She was a cat.
