A/N: This is set in season six. I need Spike to be soulless for this. I
know some people will think it's ridiculous that Spike would care about a
rape, but I need him too for the story to take place. And just look how he
was when he tried to rape Buffy. And, in season two, the Judge did say that
he reeked of humanity.

"Look at the stars. Their very bright tonight."
"We're inside, pet. You can't see the stars."
She smiled wickedly at me. "I can always see the stars Spikey."
"If you say so luv."
"Spike, I'm hungry."
I got up and walked over to her. Then I bent down and kissed her forehead. "Guess I'll just have to go out and you something then."
She reached up and stroked my cheek. I closed my eyes and leant into it. After a moment I opened them and looked at her. "Hurry back," she whispered.
I smiled. "Always."
I backed away slowly, and her hand slid away from my face. Her nails scraped my skin and drew blood. She brought her fingers to her lips and licked it off. I turned and headed towards the door of the warehouse. It wasn't a bad place really. There were a few squatters when we found it, but we soon cleared them out. As I headed towards the door, I thought about Dru's nails. They were hard as rock, and as sharp as razor. Maybe I should call them claws? Naw, I'll just stick with nails. All vampires' nails were like that. I wondered weather or not to grow mine like that. They'd be a good weapon, especially against the Slayer. Might even save my life. Naw. Wouldn't look good on me.
I walked out the door, out into New York City. This was a bad part of town. No one was around. I walked for about twenty minutes, then I got to a street and I was suddenly surrounded by crowds of people out for a night on the town. I smiled. I couldn't help it. With a few annoying exceptions, this was a perfect world for vampires', and every other type of nasty. We could literally get away with murder. My smile turned into a grin. After all, who'd suspected vampires or demons? We don't exist. I walked down the street smiling.
The people avoided me. I was dressed like a punk who'd slit his own mother's throat for an out of date, mouldy old chocolate bar.
I lid a cigarette, took a deep breath, and casually leaned againsed the wall, scanning the crowd for a decent meal. I spotted a young couple, early twenties, heading down an ally. Perfect. The girl was gorgeous. I'd enjoy drinking her dry. The bloke wasn't too bad either. Dru'd like 'im. I pushed away from the wall and swaggered towards the ally. I reached the entrance, and saw them round a corner. It wasn't that far away. I reached it in just over a second. There. I switched to game face and was about to attack them, when I had a thought.
I'd play with them for a bit first. Might be fun. I switched to human, and walked towards them.
That's when I caught it! A sent in the air. Nervousness. Hostility. Fear. And lust.
I realised what was happening. Or at least, what was going to happen. A rape!
I had to stop it. I raced up a fire escape, and took to the rooftops. I leaped from rooftop to rooftop, searching for the source to the smell(s).
While I was looking, it crossed my mind how stupid this was. I, Spike, William the Bloody, had slaughtered half of Europe. I've killed thousands, for cryin' out loud! Most times it was quick but sometimes it was a very slow, very painful death. And I enjoyed it. But killing was one think. This.this was a whole different kind of evil. This was a violation!
I stood still, and tried to pick up the sent, when I heard a scream. I raced towards it.
I landed on a rooftop and looked down into the ally below. There was a terrified girl of about nineteen, and an ugly guy in his late thirties, early forty's. The girl had tears streaming down her face, and the man was grinning. The girl was wearing a cut-off T-shirt and a shortish skirt. She looked sexy, not sluty, but stylish. The bloke had her underwear halfway down her legs, and from the way his arm was moving, he was probably fingering her.
"OI!" I yelled. The man snapped his head around, and looked up at me. He leapt to his feet and began to run. I leapt and landed in front of him. It was a three storie drop. Easy for a vamp like me. The guy, though, his eyes praticly popped out of their sockets. "How the."
He didn't get to finish, because I had my fist wrapped around his throat. I lifted him off his feet, and pulled his face to mine, till we were only about an inch apart. Then I went into vampire mode.
The guy froze. He even stopped breathing. He had a look of pure terror on his face. "Whu.wha." I threw him into a wall. He got up and pulled out a knife. I didn't flinch. "Aaghhh!" He yelled, lunging at me.
Too slow. I batted him away. He lunged at me again, and this time I let him hit me. He plunged the knife into my chest, and jumped back. I just stood there and grinned.
He froze. I think he was trying not to wet himself. I pulled the knife out. I did it slowly, not letting him miss anything. Then I let lose a growl and took a step towards him. "You.you're not human."
I curled my lip up and snarled, letting him get a first class view of my fangs. He whimpered. "Bingo, genius." I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're a regular Altburt bloody Einstein, aren't you?"
I was still holding his knife. I walked slowly towards him, blade raised. It was predator walk. A walk to freeze peoples' souls with absolute terror. A walk I'd practised to perfection. "P-please," he begged. "I-I'll do anyth- thing you want. J-just don't h-hurt m-me. PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
I backed him up into a wall. "Anything I want?" I asked softly. I used the knife a cut a thin line on his face. It went from his eye to his jaw.
"Anything."
I let the knife drop, and licked the blood off him. "I want to kill you." Tears streamed down his face. His legs gave out on him. I bent down, ready to bite him, when I heard whimpering. I looked up, and noticed the girl. Her eyes were wide, her breathing was coming out in short gasps, and she was obviously terrified.
"Oh bollocks," I cursed softly. My human face slipped through, and I walked towards her as non-threateningly as I could. "Hey, hey," I said soothingly. "Shhh. Don't worry. I won't hurt you."
She looked up at me, eyes filled with fear. "Wh.what." She stuttered. She took a deep breath, and tried again. "W-wh.what the hell are you?"
I crouched slowly in front of her. "Vampire," I said softly. "I'm a vampire luv."
The fear was back in her eyes. "I d-don't believe you. You're some k-k-kind of n-nut case."
I smirked. I couldn't help it. "Luv, I just jumped off a three store building, got yellow eyes and sprouted fangs." I noticed a tiny silver cross hanging around her neck. "Need more proof?" I cupped the chain and rested the cross on the palm of my hand, and put my hand flat so she could see. The cross burned me so bad my flesh smoked. Smelled like bacon.
"Oh my God," she breathed. She glanced over my shoulder. "Look out!" She yelled.
I whipped around. The guy had picked up his knife, and was running at me. "I'll sent you to the devil!" He yelled.
He brought the knife down. My hand shot up. I gripped his wrist and squeezed, shattering his bones.
"The devil?" I laughed. "I AM THE DEVIL!!!!" I mixed that last part with a demon roar, and vamped out at the same time. The result? Do I even have to say it? And this time he did piss himself.
I grabbed his throat and looked at the girl. "So, wadda you think I should do with him?" I asked, sounding casual.
"I.I." She stuttered.
"Bearing in mind he just tried to rape you."
Her eyes narrowed, and her expression hardened. When she answered her voice was cold. It had no emotion. "Drain the basted dry."
I grinned. "You're wish is my command."
"NO!" The guy yelled.
I ignored him. I put my hand over his mouth to muffle the screams, and bit him. He struggled like a mad man at first, but he soon stopped. After about another three minutes, I'd finished. I let his body fall to the ground.
"Wow," the girl whispered. She walked towards me slowly, like she expected him to jump up and attack her. "Is he gonna.um.y'know."
"What?"
"Is he gonna.umm.is he gonna become a vampire now?"
I shook my head. "No. He'd only able to become a vampire if he drunk my blood after I'd fed on him."
"Oh. Cool." She looked up at me. "What now?"
"Can you walk? I saw you limping."
She shook her head. "I won't be able to make it home on my own. Could you." She shifted uncomfortably. "Could you help me? Please?"
My eyebrows raised in supprise. I wasn't used to humans trusting me. I didn't know weather to call her brave or stupid. Well, I did save her. Probably doesn't know about the whole 'you become a vampire, you lose your soul' thing.
I nodded. "Here, lean on me."
"Thanks." She rested her weigh on me, and let out a relived sigh.
"Which way do you live?"
"That way," she said pointing.
We started walking. "Didn't catch your name duck."
She laughed. "Duck?"
"Just answer the bloody question!"
"Amander. Amander Jennings. You?"
"I'm Spike."
She cocked an eyebrow. "Spike? How'd you get a name like that?"
"Well y'see, when I was human some people picked on me a lot. So, when I first arose as a vampire." As I told her the story of how I'd got my named, I remembered something. Dru! I didn't get her anything. She's gonna be pissed. Oh balls!
You like? Hope so. Next chap we're in good ol' Sunnydale! REVIEW!!!! Please?
