I do not own Twilight or Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Chapter 11.

4 HOURS LATER

I landed on my back hard. My breath was knocked so hard out of me I swore I saw Tweety birds floating around my head. I couldnt focus on my pain or my lack of much needed oxgyen because Buffy's foot was speeding my way quickly. I rolled to the side and jumped up to my feet. My movements were fast enough that I was able to block another face kick headed my way. I saw an opening and aimed a hit towards my opponents face. But unfortunately she saw it coming. Buffy grabbed my wrist before it could make contact and used it to twist my arm behind my back while her other hand wrapped around my throat.

"You're dead". She declared for the tenth time since we started.

She released me and I groaned clutching my arm to me. This time when Buffy stood before me her hair was coming out of it's bun and she had bloody streaks across her neck and arms. I would smile but due to all the blows to the face I took all I could do was give Buffy a pained smirk of accomplishment. Buffy smirked back.

"Your getting better. Now I'm pretty sure you can handle a fight with a human or at least a PMSing female". I flipped her the bird and Buffy's smirk widened.

"Now thats enough for today. Go ahead and hit the showers I have to make some calls. When we meet up again do you want to hang out and play some videogames?" I frowned.

"You, a thousand year old vampire plays videogames?" I made sure the skepticism was clearly heard. Now dont get me wrong Buffy's quirky mannerisms and enjoyment of violence was a bit different from what I expected from a girl who owned enough clothes to give Alice a run for her money. But seriously videogames. No way.

Buffy pouted so cutely I had to resist the urge to pinch her cheeks and coo. But I knew that wouldnt end well for me.

"What there fun and help pass the time." I raised a brow at this which Buffy ignored. I wanted to mention that there were other ways to pass the time but refrained on the fact that I wouldn't give into my hormones. When in reality I had way to many aches to last a night with energizer Buffy. "Besides if you think I'm bad you should see a two thousand year old vampire throw a tantrum over Donkey Kong".

My jaw hit the floor. Two thousand…..Buffy walked up to me and closed my mouth. Mischievousness gleamed in her eyes. "Brings another perspective on cradle robbing huh?" All I could do was nod and follow her.

After my shower Buffy and I spent most of the night and part of the morning playing video games laughing and getting to know each other.

The next morning I awoke with Buffy's naked body curled around my equally unclothed self. I waited for the discomfort or embarrassment to hit but it didnt. I felt content, like I belonged in her arms. My stomach, however, had other plans. Which was odd since before we went to bed Buffy had initiated another blood exchange. So shouldn't I feel full? Shaking my head at the odd mechanics of this new life I was living. I disentangled myself from Buffy.

She stirred slightly and softly whimpered. I caressed her cheek trying to calm her.

"Spike" She murmured. A soft smile played on her lips that made my stomach with not hunger but resentment. Did she dream of him? Did she think of him when she clutched me close in her sleep? Jealously seared my heart. But I wouldn't allow it to take over me. She was with him for over nine hundred years and me only a few days. What was I to expect.

Even that logic didn't quell my anger. But it wasn't something I could do so with that in mind, I quickly dressed and headed downstairs to cook something for breakfast. Hopefully by the time Buffy go up my emotions would be better under control.

By the timer I got done making breakfast Buffy made it into the kitchen.

"Good morning" Buffy greeted with a smile. She wore her hair in a ponytail today and had on a simple red tank top, black leather pants and high heeled black boots. She finished off her look with light make-up. Unwilling I'll admit she still looked gorgeous. With a frown I continued my meal without replying.

Buffy noticed my quietness.

"Whats with you? You're all bad moody." I shrugged not wanting to mention what was really going on in my mind. But I guess some sick twisted part of me couldn't help but dig the knife deeper in my heart. Which is why my question slipped from my mouth from my mouth like spoiled milk.

"How did you sleep last night" I asked watching her closely. Looking for any sign of deception or any allusions to what her dream was about. Buffy had a glazed over look. A look that I was beginning to recognize that she only got when thinking of Spike.

"Like a log" Buffy answered shaking the dazed look from her features. "These feedings are taking a lot out of me. What time is it?" I glanced at the digital clock on the microwave.

"6:30". I replied solemnly.

" Wow, I can't believe that I slept in so late." She gazed out the window near the sink. "Even the sun is starting to go down." She commented lightly as she began making her plate. A part of me wanted to yell or scream at her. I wanted to know why she dreamed of him. Another part of me wanted to her until she thought of only me. I did neither. Simply watched as Buffy ate her meal with a slight smile playing on her lips. Was it because she thought of him or did she really like my cooking? I didn't know.

We finished our meal in realitive silence. It was only broken when I pushed aside my morose thoughts and asked what we would do for the night. Buffy looked at the darkening sky with a slight pout.

"Well since we slept the daylight away I guess I'll just have to take you shopping tomorrow. I smirked

at the thought. Ha, looks like I escaped the shopping excursion this time. " Or I could just take you to the mini mall underground that caters to our kind". My smirk dropped.

"Wait. What?" Buffy smiles as she thought more on the subject.

"Yes that's what we can do. I'll take you to Caritas. It's run by a friend of mine and a few young vampires. I was going to wait till I introduced you to more of our kind but what the hell. No time like the present. I need to.." Then she off muttering to herself as she headed towards the door. I stood still. Hoping against hope that she didn't notice that I didn't follow her till she made it to this Caritas place.

"Bella are you coming?" I groaned. Damn it! I've only been awake for less than two hours and already my night was starting off shitty.

Buffy drove us to the abandoned warehouse district on the outskirts of the city. The drive was longer than most and by the time we reached our destination it was completely dark. Making the seedy area even more ominous. There were no people bustling about like the city we left behind. No lights brightened the sky. If it weren't for recent turn of events I would have sworn that Buffy brought me out here to kill me. I turned to Buffy questioningly once the car stopped.

"I know. I know. This place is creepy. Well to you at least".

"What's that suppose to mean?" Buffy shrugged.

"Just that the feelings you are getting is intentional. Underneath us are probably fifty or so vampires and chosen humans. By nature our kind instills fear into humans just by our presents. With so many of our kind in a concentrated area it triggers humans natural instinct to flee. But just in case we encounter a few dumb asses or danger magnets." She smirked playfully at me. "We pick isolated areas to congregate or nest in. That way if someone finds themselves where they don't belong we make sure they wont find there way back."

Buffy's words had a chilling affect on me that worsened when her eyes glowed brightly. I feared and relished in the thought of some innocent bystander finding themselves in the wrong part of town.

"And since your instincts are telling you to flee means you still have some humanity in you and the last exchange didn't progress your change further.

"Is that a bad thing"

"No not nessasarily but it does mean that I need to get you to the Aurelian Estate sooner rather than later. But I wont take you till your more comfortable around our kind. The tension in you is enough to cause you to be mistaken for prey."

I looked at her slightly panicked.

"What the hell. Then why come here when I have a big eat me sign over my head."

"Because here most of my kind fear me and wouldn't dare lay a hand on you. Plus most of the vampires that frequent this area are realitivly young my age alone would deter them. At the Aurelian Estate there are more than a few vampires that are older than me. Not to mention there are both vampires and minions alike that want me dead and you by extention." My eyes widened .

"Why?"Buffy sighed.

"Come on I'll tell you while we shop".

Sorry for the late update. Too many ideas and not enough time to write.

Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
