Dawn and Eve walked down the dimly lit street. "Do you want to take a short cut?" Eve asked the other girl.
"Sure, the sooner we get to your place, the better," Dawn said, thinking about her home in Sunnydale. There it was not safe to be out after dark, LA was probably wasn't much better either.
Eve darted into a dark ally way. They soon came to a dead-end. "Oops? Wrong ally," Eve grinned impishly, Dawn just shrugged.
The two turned and ran into two guys. "This is too easy," one of them said grinning.
"Fuck," Eve muttered under her breath. Vampires. How was she going to explain this to Dawn?
"Little girls, my favorite," the other said to his friend and then turned to Eve and Dawn. "Girls, this won't hurt a bit," he took a step towards the two, but stopped. "Oh shirt," he said and then became a pile of dust that was blown away in the wind. His friend soon followed. The person that had stood behind the two demons was now revealed.
"Spike!" Dawn cried.
"'Bit," he nodded to Dawn, "why did you go off like that, with somewhat you hardly know," he scolded and turned to Eve. "You," his eyes narrowed.
"Um Spike, this is Eve. Eve this is Spike," Dawn introduced the two nervously, she could feel the tension in the air.
"No need for introductions Dawn. Spike and I go back along way. Ya know it's strange to think that the Big Bad, William the Bloody is now known as something so tacky as Spike," Eve laughed harshly. Still laughing, she started to walk out of the ally. "Dawn, was that enough excitement for tonight? I'll see you around!" she called out.
"Eve, stop," she didn't even slow down. Spike took an unneeded breath. "As your sire I command you to stop," there was an audible gasp from Dawn. Eve was a vampire?
Eve turned around, but didn't stop. "William, you don't have the power you think you do over me. I'm not what you turned me into. I'm different. I'm my own creature. But I am human, I have soul," she taunted. "Wanna know more? Follow me to find out!" she gave a feral grin and started to sprint off. Spikes just walked leisurely down the ally way.
He found Eve balancing on a fence, "Took you long enough. What happened, you grow soft?" she taunted, her eyes glowing a bit, her demon side was showing.
Spike just growled and tugged on Eve's boot clad ankle, "Down, I wanna know about you and I aim to find out, luv," he turned and came face to face with a crossbow.
"Let her go vamp. I know a Papa bear that wouldn't be too happy if she came back hurt," the black youth holding the crossbow whispered just loud enough for Spike to detect.
"Gunn!" Eve's eyes lit up. "How noble of you to rescue a poor damsel in distress!" she slipped off the fence and landed with the gracefulness of a cat.
"You've been reading too many romance novels," Gunn remarked.
Eve just shrugged, "Shakespeare's boring."
"This is all bloody good and all, but do you mind?" Spike shoved the crossbow out of his face.
"Actually I do," Gunn said and put it right back where it was. Eve snorted and Spike looked at her.
"Will you talk to this bleedin' twit?" he snarled.
"Put it down. 'Ole Spiky here has gone soft. I mean, he did save us, and hasn't tried to make a snack out of me yet…as much as I know he would," Eve said, flicking off a piece of imaginary dirt of her shirt ( I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! Sorry for the cliché, I thought it was funny!).
"I'm guessing this is the right time for me to say that Spike has a chip in his head. He can't hurt humans," Dawn put in. Spike just snarled while Eve grinned.
"You've gone beyond soft, you're a neutered vampire! What a cruel yet funny joke," Eve laughed.
The others just looked at her and she shrugged and started to walk down the street, heading for the hotel—the long way.
