Chapter 14: Vengeful Heart.

The sun was starting to set in the sky in the city as Spike stared down the now monstrous Lily in the middle on the courtyard. As she stocked the wounded Spike, he began to worry over how he could defend himself and what she could do. And so, he waited for her to speak and to see if he could find a weakness.

"Ah, what are you waiting for?" Lily asked as she snaked forward and then back, getting Spike to flinch for an attack. But after doing this a few times, she realized Spike was not able to move very well, which made her smile as she said, "Oh, I have a wounded prey. How fun."

"What do you want?" Spike asked as he continued to hold his enjoyed neck.

"At first, I wanted to turn into one of us." Lily paused as she licked her finger only to cut her finger, before she pulled her arm back and then she continued, "I need to kill you, Follower of the Shadow King: Blood Needles." And with that, she throw her arm around and her blood turned into razor sharp needles. Spike's eyes widen as he tried to move out of the way, but a sharp pain in his right leg form the fall earlier and he was even more married then before.

"Ah, shit." Spike yelled as he removed his hand from his neck to place them both in front of him in an x shape to protect himself as the needles began to pierce his body, forcing him to the ground. As Spike tried to get up, the other two watching form the roof were smiling at how the fight was going.

"Oh, she has him." the female said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, but he's getting up." the male said as they watched Spike get to his keen and looked at Lily as he panted from the attack.

"Damn, that was strong." Spike said with a groan as he got to his feet, but felt unsteady as he nearly lost his footing and fell, but he caught himself and got ready for more.

"Oh, you want more. Fine then." Lily said as he hand turned blood red as she charged him and said, "Follower of the Shadow King: Blood Strike." She ran right up to him and pulled her fist back, ducked under Spike attempted punch as she thros her fist forward and hit him square in the stomach. After a few seconds, Spike was sent flying across the courtyard and slammed against the gate, forcing blood from his mouth.

"She's wasting her food, sloppy." the male said as the two continued to watch the fight from the roof.

"Yeah, but she's having so much fun with him." the other female said as they watched Spike slowly get up, as he spat out even more blood.

"Damn, she's fast and I can't get her with a Dragon Blast." Spike said as he slowly stood up and felt uneasy as he looked at her as he thought it over and then realized something, "Oh, Dash is going to kill me."

"Not before me." Lily yelled as she charged at Spike ready to deal a death blow. Spike's eyes just narrowed as he pulled back his right arm and spread his fingers as he began to focus his magic.

"Student of the Lunar: Blazing Dragon Claw." Spike yelled out as he throw his hand forward and launched a large claw made of fire towards a shocked Lily, who tried to move out of the way. But she could not and the claw wrapped around her waist, which instantly made her burst into flames and fall to the ground as she whaled in horrible pain.

"He has fire magic." called out the other female as she was about to go help Lily, but was stopped by the male.

"She's a goner, we have to tell the master." he said as he vanished. The other female looked at the now still body of what was once Lily's and cried as she followed the male.

"Damn, that was tough." Spike said with a smile as he tried to stand up straight, but he suddenly felt dizzy and he fell to the ground as he blacked out.

The two remaining vampires ran as fast as they could through the city and then went out into the country side. The duo ran through the woods of large, seemingly endless trees until the found an old mansion in the middle of no where. No soon did the duo arrive then they ran into the house and came to their master sitting in a large chair at the top of the stairs.

"Master, we have bad news." the female said as they both bowed in front of him.

"What is it? And were is Lily?" their master asked in a gruff voice. The duo looked at each other for a few moments before the male looked the master in the eye as he said.

"Ummm, s-she was killed." the male said and watched as the rage filled the masters eyes and he stood up, knocking the chair down as he did so.

"What happened?" he asked as he glared at the duo in front of him

"She picked this guy named Spike and was feeding off of him, but he had fire magic and set her on fire." the female explained as the master looked at them and then smiled at them as he turned around, and put his chair back up..

"Spike you say, I know what I'm going to do now." the master said with a wicked smile on his face as the other two smiled along with him as they began to make a plan for revenge.

Spike's head was killing him as his eyes slowly began to open and he saw he was not at school, but at a familiar house and a familiar face looking down at him with a concern look on her face.

"Oh, thank goodness your awake." Fluttershy said as she sat next to him and was healing him, as three others were sitting around the living room waiting for him to wake up.

"Yay, we can have a Spike's Alive party." Pinkie yelled in excitement.

"Not now Pinkie." Dash said as she got up from her seat, walked over to Spike, and lifted him up by his shirt as she yelled, "What were you thinking using your dragon claw? It could have killed."

"Dash, I-I had no ch-choice." Spike said as he grabbed her hand on his shirt.

"Dash, please. He's still very injured." Fluttershy pleaded with her friend to let him go, which she did after a few seconds and then stormed out of the room. As she left, Applejack looked from the doorway Dash had used and looked right at Spike.

"She's right you know." Applejack said and watched as Spike nodded. Once she saw this, Applejack then looked away from Spike.

"Hey, where's Rarity?" Spike asked as he looked around and saw no sign of her.

"She's at your house, helping Twilight get ready for her date and to talk to her about how she's been acting to day." Fluttershy said as she healed Spike's leg and smiled up at him, but saw that he was just frowning.

"Hoe's my leg?" Spike asked as he looked right at Fluttershy, who blushed and tried to think about what she should say to him.

"Ummm, y-yeah. Just be careful." Fluttershy said and was surprised by Spike standing up and headed for the door. He quickly opened it and then closed it behind him, leaving a trio of teens by them selves.

"Should we go after him?" Fluttershy asked as she was worried for Spike and the way he was acting.

"No, he needs time alone to get his mind straight and figure out what he wants." Applejack said as she took a bite of an apple in her hand and smiled at the other two, who both had worried looks on their faces as their minds were more focused on Spike and Twilight.

At Twilight's house, Twilight was busy getting herself ready for her date for tonight with Rarity's help as the duo stood in the middle of Twilight's neat bedroom and Twilight continued to look at dresses in the mirror. While she was doing this, Rarity was thinking of a way to bring up Spike and to see if she could fix things between them.

"Sooo, darling. Your really looking forward to this date tonight huh?" Rarity asked as she tried to smile at Twilight.

"Oh, yes. And I can't wait to see him." Twilight said as dreamy tone as she decided on a strapless dark purple dress and proceeded to remove her towel and pull up her panties as stepped into the dress soon after putting them on.

"I understand what your feeling darling, but some things wrong with Spike and you need to..." Rarity tried to explain what happened to Spike, but she was just cut off by Twilight.

"He'll be okay. Me might need to get a job for an apartment but he needs to fend for himself." Twilight said with a slight smirk, which worried Rarity. Who got up for the bed and walked up to her friend as she spoke again.

"Twilight, he's very hurt right now and you should really be there with him." Rarity said as she placed her hand on Twilight's shoulder, but she just shoved the hand off of her as she turned around and glared at Rarity.

"You really can't let me be happy, can you?" Twilight asked in harsh tone, which shocked Rarity who stepped back from her friend.

"What are you talking about darling?" Rarity asked in a confused tone.

"Since Spike met you, he's talked about you none stop about you. But your not happy with that. You have to take any man in my life. Your just a selfish whore." Twilight barked out which made Rarity looked at her in shock at what she had just been told.

"Twilight, how could you say that?" Rarity asked as her eyes began tearing up. Twilight just glared at her for a few seconds before finishing putting on her dress and then brushed her until the door bell rang. Twilight excitedly ran out of the room and down the stairs as she answered the door.

"Hey, Twilight, ready to go?" Lucky asked as he was dressed in a dress shirt and jeans with a nice pair of sneakers.

"Yeah, let's get going." Twilight said as she shut the door and let Lucky take her by her arm as the duo left the house, leaving a crying Rarity watching them from the window, who watched them walk away and wondered what has happened to her sweet, kind friend.
