Melissa
Chapter 1
"Hello, slayer." Her voice was full of anger.
Someone must have ticked her off before she came here, Buffy thought. "Who are you?"
The woman smiled. "You'll find out later. I just wanted to see you, and for you to know I'm here."
Then she took off. Buffy started after her, but gave up about half-an-hour later, because she had disappeared.
Buffy walked into Riley's room, took off her shoes, trousers, and jacket and left them on the floor. Then she slipped into bed next to him: it was lovely and warm. She smuggled into him.
"Is everything alright?" Riley asked in a sleepily voice.
"Yeah, I have to see Giles tomorrow." She answered.
"What about?"
"I'll tell you when we get there. Now go to sleep."
Riley hugged her tighter, and then they both settled down to go to sleep.
"What did she look like? And what was she wearing?" Asked Giles.
The Scooby Gang: Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, Anya Tara and Riley, were sitting in Giles' living room. Buffy had told them what happened, now she needed answers to her questions, only she had to answer Giles' questions first.
Buffy signed. "She looked about 5'6" or taller. She had shoulder length chocolate brown hair and eyes, long red nails, dark red lips and pale skin. Basically your everyday female vampire."
"What was she wearing?" Giles repeated.
"Mmm.black high heel boots, black leather trousers, a dark red top and an ankle length black leather jacket."
"She really likes black leather." Willow pointed out.
"Yeah she does." Came a voice from behind them.
Everyone turned to face the front door, to see Spike standing there, just putting out a cigarette.
"Spike, what do you want now." Buffy asked.
"Came to see what you guys were doing. Anyway, I heard Melissa was in town, so I thought I would pop by. You know, to see if you knew." Spike walked in and shut the front door, then sat in a green armchair next to it. "And someone left the door unlocked." He eyed at Giles.
Giles took off his glasses; cleaned them then put them back on, "Yes, well. Who's Melissa?"
"Ha.who is she not?" Was the respond they got.
"What do you mean?" Buffy asked.
Spike looked around at them. Xander and Anya were leaning against the counter, Willow and Tara sat at the computer with Giles standing over them and Riley was sitting in the other chair with Buffy on his lap. "She's a vampire. The princess of bloody darkness. She has power. Lots of power. More bloody power then what you lot do put together,"
"You know her?" Xander asked.
"I would answer more questions but I have a dried.throat." Spike said as Xander pushed a mug of pig's blood in front of his face. "Ah.yeah.thanks." Spike drunken half of it down even before Xander got back to Anya. When he finished he answered Xander's question. "What was I saying. Yeah I brought her that jacket."
"Then what happened?" Asked Willow.
"She went off by herself that's what happened. Said she didn't need anyone to look after her. She wasn't that powerful when I last saw her."
"Do you know where we can find her?" Riley asked.
"Why so you can bag her, then chip her? No I bloody don't, and if I did why would I tell you?" Spike drunk the rest of the blood then put the mug on the table.
"Spike you should come with me on patrol tonight." Buffy said.
"What?" Riley said in an argumentative tone.
"Why?" Spike looked puzzled.
"Well if she turns up, you can talk to her." Buffy answered.
"I can do that without you." Spike got up, pulled his black jacket over his head, then ran out of the house.
"What are we going to do now?" Tara asked.
"Willow, Tara and Giles you stay here, see if you can find anything out about Melissa. The rest of us will go and see if we can find anything else. Tonight we'll all go out on patrol, see if she turns. Just means Dawn will be left on her own."
Everyone agreed. All they had to do now was get through the day and see if Melissa shows up tonight.
Spike walked into his crypt. He shut the door pulled his jacket off his head then turned around. "Melissa?" He said when he saw her sreaching though his CD collection that was on top off the tomb that laid in the middle of the room.
"Spike. Hi. Nice CD's." She was picking them up, looking at them then putting them back down.
"Yeah, thanks, but that's not what you've come here for. Is it?" He asked as he walked up to the tomb and stood on the other side to her.
Melissa signed. "Are you going to tell that slayer friend of yours? Because I wouldn't want to kill you after I tell you. I wouldn't mind killing her when you tell her, though." She leaned on the tomb lid with her arms stretched out abit.
Something glizzing in the dim light caught Spike's addition. His eyes went to her throat. Hanging there was a red ruby necklace in the shape of a circle. "Nice necklace. Who'd you kill for that?"
"Never you mind." She reapplied.
"So are you going to tell me why you're here? Or do I have to guess?" Spike lit up another cigarette.
"I'm not telling you!" She shouted.
Spike dropped his cigarette, jumped on to the tomb, pushed her abit, and jumped off then pushed Melissa into the wall really hard. He didn't know why, but every time she shouted, he got angry.
"Ah.Spike.I didn't know you wanted it that rough." Melissa smiled cheekily.
"Are you going to tell me why you're here?" Anger was in Spike's voice.
"Would you believe me when I say I was in the neighbour hood?" Melissa smiled again.
Spike couldn't resist her. He tried to control his feelings, wherever they came from, but he couldn't. He leaned forward and began to kiss her.
When Spike awoke, Melissa was gone. He couldn't believe what happened. He felt like he had no control over his feelings: his feeling of anger and his feeling of love.
He signed. What does that woman do to you Spiky boy? He needed answers too. He got of bed and got dressed. Maybe wondering around tonight wasn't such a bad idea.
"Hello, slayer." Her voice was full of anger.
Someone must have ticked her off before she came here, Buffy thought. "Who are you?"
The woman smiled. "You'll find out later. I just wanted to see you, and for you to know I'm here."
