DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN VICKY/HER FAMILY.
THIS IS INSPIRED BETWEEN THE INITATIVE AND MY MIND.
I was wearing a oversized fleece, with sweats and some tennis shoes, my dormrooom key was safely pocketed in my fleece. The woods were always peaceful at night and it gave me time to think about everything that had happened. Buffy seemed pretty confused over the whole Gem of Amara spiel. I guess the two had history together, her and spike. Didn't seem like very pleasant history to me. Although it would make sense he is a vampir-
I was cut out of my deep thoughts and tripped over a stray root, I groaned and looked up. I saw a pair of black boots and some crouched green cargo pants. I followed those up to large arms carrying some kind of gun and skimask paired with some kind of goggles. I let out a slight shriek and jumped backwards onto the forest floor. I clapped a hand over my mouth to stop the screaming that was threatening to explode and tried to stand up. Next thing I knew I felt hands under my arms gripping me and pulling me up. I panicked and on instinct I raked my tennis shoe down their shin and ran when I felt the hands disappear.
"Back to the dorms, back to the dorms. Yeah, good plan. Public area, I'll scream bloody murder. Shit which way was the dorms?" I whispered to myself, trying to calm down and find a direction to run in. I'm pretty sure I pissed 'em off a good deal now. Freaking creepers carrying guns, what the hell are they hunting? Elephants? Large agressive mountain lions, I'm sure those exist here
I kept running and looked behind me, no sign of them, good. I heard someone say something about a "Big Bad", and tried to put on the breaks but it was too late. I was to close and had built up too much momentum, I just ran smack into them. There was the sensation of hitting a wall that gave way and then the sensation of being airborne for a short second. The next feeling was grass I was sure of it. I jumped up and got into the defensive position I learned from Buffys training sessions, looking around wildly at whatever I smacked into. We were in the university courtyard, the dorm wasn't that far away. I saw a pair of legs flipped over each other and a leather duster over their head with their arms splayed around, wait leather duster... SPIKE! Is he a threat, I can't remember. I hear some cussing and groaning.
"Spike?" I said hesitantly, trying to peer around or under the jacket.
"What the buggerin' hell was that?" He sounded muffled and a little winded. I saw the legs flip back over and the leather duster was flipped back over his head again and some more cussing as he stood up.
"That was me, sorry. I was running and couldn't slow down.." I said apologetically, slowly easing out of the defensive position but keeping a watchful eye on him.
"What the bleedin hell were you runnin' from?" He was glaring at me and wiping off his pants, his hair was also sticking up in odd places. I think I saw a leaf in there
"Camo creepers, with huge guns and boots and omigod it was scary, they grabbed me and-" I had to stop to take a much needed breath before I continued my ramble.
"-they wore googles, like why would you wear goggles at night? Its freaking dark out, omigod what if they use them to see in the dark? They probably use them to see in the dark, are they even human? Do you think they're human spike?" I stopped my ramble short to ask him that question. I had my wide-eyed crazy look going on and he was watching me with a raised eyebrow, smirking amusedly.
"Luv, you might want to calm down. Your face is turning blue." He took a step foreward, motioning to my face. I was about to continue my ramble when I saw the bushes rustling and I froze. They caught up, dammit. I reached foreward and grabbed his hand, I looked about for any motions of a gun popping out of the bushes as turned to begin running again. I felt the adrenaline pumping as I yanked Spike forward with me.
"Bloody hell!" He exclaimed in his stupid poncy london accent. I ignored it and continued pulling him breaking into a run.
"Come on! We're getting out of here. Its not safe, they're here." I offered as an explaination, I found the right pathway and looked forewards for any sign of stevenson hall.
"What do you mean its not safe? 'Nd where are we going?" He questioned sounding incredibly confused. He had finally started running behind me, and I continued to look around at the trees surrounding the area.
"The creepers with huge freaking guns, and if you see a sign for Stevenson Hall anywhere tell me." I shouted behind me, I couldn't tell if there was the sound of more than two pairs of feet hitting the ground. The adrenaline was dying down, we had to get somewhere soon.
"There!" He pointed to a arrow with "Stevenson Hall" over it, and began to run in that direction. He was suddenly the faster runner and I fell behind him, being pulled by our joint hands. I saw the door ahead in the distance, and raised my hand to pump it up in the air; when I heard the sound of a gun being fired behind us. It was like a tiny pin had hit me in the back with the force of a moving train. It knocked me into Spike with its force, and I saw black spots dancing in my eyes. I heard it being fired again and attempted to speak.
"Spike, watc-" I started but then my legs began to lose feeling as I felt the second dart hit me. My legs fell out from under me and I saw the ground moving at me. Our hands weren't connected anymore as I hit the ground and the dancing dots grew larger and larger. I tried to drag myself forwards but my arms stopped working and I fell to the ground. The last image I see is of Spike's knees hitting the ground as the blackness swallows me whole.
The air smelled like antiseptic, and was rather stale. I opened my eyes and was blinded by the glaring flurescent lighting. I blinked twice and looked around, I was in a small 4x4 white walled cell looking thing. Aw shite. Buffy's going to be pissed as hell when I turn up. If I turn up.. I sit up, first thing I notice is that my back feels bruised. There was a clear glass wall that I could try to look through, good plan. I stand up and hesitantly shuffle my way to it, they hadn't changed me out of my comfy clothes. That would have sucked, and been really awkward to know someone was touch me while I was unconcious.
I got to the glass and reached out to touch it with my hand, my finger poked it and I got a jolt of electricity up my arm.
"AH! OWW! WHAT THE HELL?" I jumped back from the glass and waved my hand around, trying to get rid of the shocky feeling. As soon as it was gone I began to pace back and forth, the feeling of panic was rising up in my chest.
"Vic? Is that you?" I heard a voice coming from the wall, what the fuck. I went over to the wall and poked it, didn't want my face to be electrocuted too. It was safe, I pressed my ear against it.
"Depends whose asking." I furrowed my brow, what if that was just a trick to freak me out. I was pretty sure this had something to do with the creepers in the woods. I should have stayed in bed god dammit, now who knows how much time has passed! It could have been days! Omigod what if they faked my death too?
"Its Spike, Vic." Spike? Whose Spike? He sounds really pissed off. Okay, okay, think Vicky. I took a deep breath trying to push away the panicky feeling and paced while searching my brain for memories. AH! Spike the vampire, the one that was grabby at the party.
"Oh hi, so umm. Know anything about whats going on?" I tried to piece words together as I leaned my ear back to the wall and waited for a response.
"Lab facility, funded by your sodding darling cousin." I leaned back away from the wall, he got louder and more pissed off as he went on.
"Why would Buffy trap me in here too then? And how would she get a hold of a freaking lab? That makes no sense." I yelled back into the wall, like seriously did he not think anything through? I heard some more unintelligable yelling and kicking after I said it though. Suddenly I heard some beeping and backed myself into a corner.
"Spike! The ceilings beeping at me!" I shouted at the wall, my voice was becoming higher pitched as the sentence went on. I was getting more and more scared, I'm not cut out for breaking out of nutty labs. A square opened up and something fell in, the square closed again.
"Don't drink it, its drugged." I heard from his side, and then a series of what sounded like him hitting the wall and yelling. I hesitantly walked up to it and looked down. It was a bag of blood, ew.
"Ew. Wasn't in the mood for blood today anyways." I nudged it with my shoe and waited for something to happen.
"We need to get out Spike. Buffy's not behind this, promise." I yelled again, hoping he could hear me when I wasn't pressed up to the wall. It was a little while as the yelling died down and the sound of things hitting the wall also disappeared.
Some time passed and my stomach began to growl, I was hungry but all they seemed to give me was that damn bag of blood. I saw movement outside of my glass prison and crawled over to the glass, being careful to not touch it. There were two doctors with a stretcher, and they had stopped at the room right next to mine. I watched on cautiously as they went in the room and brought Spike out, oh no. He drank it I guess, I frowned as they dropped him on the stretcher. I saw his hand twitch, he wasn't unconcious then.
Suddenly his hand shot up and grabbed the first guys throat, Spike threw him back and jumped up off the bed. We made eyecontact for a second, he winked at me and then dodged the asian guy's needle. He threw the asian guy over the bed and a fight ensued. I lost site of them as they went around the corner, it looked like the asian guy was winning. A few seconds later they popped up again as Spike shoved the asian at the first guy, who ended up shooting his colleague with what ever was in that needle. The asian passed out, and spike flipped over the first guy knocking him out. The alarm was blaring, over and over, it was the only thing I could hear anymore.
He disappeared from my view again for a few seconds, and the fear that he had left me here made its way into my mind. I was going to pass out from lack of food and be experimented on for the rest of my life! I'd be a nonvoluntary lab rat! I can't believe that sonovabitch freaking left me here! The glass door slid open and I jumped up as Spikes vamped out face appeared. Nevermind, hes not that bad.
"GET UP AND COME ON VIC!" He yelled as he pulled me out of my shocked state by the arm and towards a closing exit with another vamped out guy. The first guy rolled under, Spike went second and I tried to slide under all the way but my shoes had become untied and the lace was stuck underneath it. I was trying to pull my shoelace out from under it but it was dreadfully stuck.
"VIC, TAKE OFF THE DAMN SHOE." He was yelling still sounding incredibly panicked and was trying to yank me forwards but my foot was just stuck.
"OKAY I'M GOOD." I kicked off that shoe with my other one and was pulled into another room where the doors were just begining to close, except one which opened to reveal several more camo creeper with their damn googles. Spike pulled me back, and shoved the other guy forward with a kick of his boot. All I could hear was the alarm still blaring in my ears, as I found another door that hadn't been completely closed yet. ESCAPE!
"THIS WAY!" I yelled as loud as I could just in case he couldn't still hear me with his vampire hearing, and ran towards the door before the metal sheet covered it. I slid under again, I could feel the burns on my stomach and legs but I was too rushed to really notice it. Spike rolled in after me, and we ran towards the door at the end of the hallway. We burst into the outside world finally and I felt the cool night air hit my face. I didn't stop running though, I was too scared and adrenaline filled to do so.
