I clapped my hands with joy and sensuously put my lips on her neck; kissing the warm skin before gently plunging my fangs in, making sure I didn't hurt her. The taste was ecstasy! It was like fire, burning me alive, it tasted of hazel, cinnamon, something sweet with a bit of spice and something distinctly unique. It filled me up yet left me wanting more. No wonder Xander always like biting her during the 'games' they played where they rode each other like ponies. It is odd though; my first childe is myself, hard to wrap your head round it really. Sure, I had made fledglings and minions but I never found someone I wanted to be my childe, my family. I drank more of her intoxicating blood; I could hear her heart beat get slower and slower as I did.

When I heard her heart beat get agonizingly slow, I carefully turned her head, used my fingernail and slit my wrist. Slowly, the purple-red coloured blood dripped on her mouth. Her eyes fluttered back open and she clamped her mouth on my cut, sucking away eagerly like a half starved leech finally getting a whiff of nourishment. I could feel myself draining away, as soon as I was sure she had enough I snatched away my hand and watched it slowly heal. I was so weak I could barely get up!

Growling with determination: I started to Willow's house, semi-dragging Willow and myself over there. I knew her parents were away on a business conference and so we would have the whole house to ourselves, the new Headquarters where I can start showing Sunnydale who the Master is around here, well Mistress anyway. Smiling dreamily, I thought of Angel…my Puppy. I heard from Anya that he lost his soul in this world, that he was incredibly ruthless and sadistic. Pure evil…in tight leather trousers, could he be anymore perfect?

I finally got to our house; it was just like I remembered it, cosy…sweet…empty. I also remembered the amount of torture I inflicted on my late parents when I finally got back, 3 months after I was changed. For the first couple of weeks I covered them in paper cuts, dabbed vinegar, lemon juice and rubbed in some salt now and again, the amount of agony they were in was music to my ears.

My father, the weakling…he was passed out after the first two weeks, my mum was stronger and survived three before finally passing out. Then, after I was tired of hearing them screaming and pleading and crying for the pain to stop, I threw them to my minions to be feasted on. There was no way I was going to change them! Ew, just imagine a pair of Vampire Parents on the loose. Gross.

Staggering to the door, I rummaged around in Willow's pockets, found her set of keys, yanked Willow inside and dropped her onto the couch. I was too weak to do anything else and I needed blood, fast. Smirking, I picked up the phone and dialled a once well known number,

"Hello, Pizza Palace at your service." A young boy's voice chirped the usual greeting. I cringed, how could they be so perky? It was 11pm!

"Hi, yes I would like a vegetarian pizza with extra mushrooms and peppers." I purred into the phone, smiling when I heard his flushed reply.

"Uhh…yes…ahem …okay. Your address please?"

"320 Singly Lane."

"Okay Miss…"

"Rosenburg, Willow Rosenburg. Call me Willow, please. ."

"Okay Mi-uh…Willow your pizza is on the way."

"Thank you so very much." I murmured. Quietly, I tiptoed back in to the living room and watched Willow transform into a creature of the night. I could see the changes happen right before my eyes, her skin got smoother, paler, beautiful against her now fiery red hair. Her lips got fuller, redder definitely poutier. I saw glimpses of white smooth fangs and then the true face of a vampire appeared on her face. I was enthralled, so this is what I looked like as both vampire and human being. I knew I was sexy from the reactions of other people but I never realised how gorgeous and beautiful I was without my true face. It was incredible.

"Ding dong ding dong." Yay food was here! Finally! Smartening myself up a bit I walked to the door and opened it, it revealed a shy young pizza boy about 18 years old.

"Oh Thankyou, come in, I just need to find my purse." Unknowingly the daft pizza boy stepped in and that sealed his fate. "I am so hungry!" I said from behind him," maybe you can be the dessert to go with my meal." Before he could react, I savagely bit into him getting stronger with every drop, and then I dumped his lifeless body to the floor. "Or…at least the appetiser." A loud moan came from the living room and I rushed in, Willow was awake and ravenous.

"Sire? Hungry now. Want to play." I smiled as I saw the mirror version of myself pout childishly.

"Willow, I have to get a few things straight with you, tell you a few rules." Willow huffed and threw herself down on her couch.

"Fine go ahead, but then we can play right?"

"Yes then we can play. First rule, I am your Sire which means you belong to me and only me, the only other person you could belong to is your Mate but I will go into that another time. Second rule, to avoid confusion I will go by Red and only Red and you can go by Willow. It makes Eternity simpler that way. Now, lets go hunt. The night is young and so are we, forever." Willow grinned and headed out to the door, then stopped suddenly, her face full of confusion.

"So what's the plan for tonight?"

"Willow child, now listen to me...I've been in this world for a short time and I am already sick of it. I miss my old world. It was filled with such blood and the melodic sounds of screaming. We should turn this world into what once was mine, I want my Xander back, and Puppy…" Willow smiled at the idea. 'And Oz!' She thought to herself.

"So where should we start first?" Willow asked, eager to create a plan of action to bring down her former group. It wasn't so much as bringing them down as wanting them to join in with her.

"Okay so we should go to the Bronze, and find your little friends. We'll start with Xander first. He can be your first meal, the first meal is always the most important….its the one you will always remember. You will drain him and I will give him my blood. We will have him by our side again."
