"Mid spring I think."

Melody started walking again.

"What exactly happened?" Connor wanted to know.

"A ritual of some sort I think, they fed on 2 of them, but they drew a symbol on the pavement with the rest of the blood. It looked something like a star with a circle, I never thought to look it up really."

They came to a small park.

"Isn't this nice." Melody said sarcastically.

She sat on a bench looking bored. Connor sat beside her, equally bored.

"There is a cure for boredom."

Connor shot a sly smile at Melody. Melody smiled back just as evilly. She turned and moved to sit in his lap.

"So, are you willing to cure that boredom at any cost?"

She rubbed on him, quickly turning him on.

"Do you think we will be seen?"

She rubbed on him harder.

"Do you really care?"

She kissed him.

"As long as the cops aren't involved."

She kissed him again, but this time he didn't let her pull away. They were startled apart by a couple of angry parents yelling at them for public displays of affection in the park. Melody stood up.

"Some people just have loveless lives." She said loud enough for the nearby parents to hear.

They just gave her dirty looks. With a smug look of satisfaction on Melody's face, they left the park.

"Let's get back. We don't want anyone to worry."

Connor backed her into an alley.

"Let them worry then."

He pressed her against the cold brick wall, holding her by her hands. She snarled with the pleasure of Connor pushing her agianst the wall. He put his right hand on her hip. She tried to rub on him again, but Connor held her down.

"Don't tease."

She tried to pull away again, with no avail. Instead of trying to get loose again, she kissed him.

"I can still tease you." She taunted.

Connor kissed her, moving from her lips to her neck, still holding her down. Melody managed to free herself then, and kissed him again, gripping his hands. She gave into his kisses, letting him take control over her, and making love yet again.

Melody brushed herself off, her hairline sticky with sweat. She walked in the direction of the hotel. Connor was suprised for only a moment. He caught up with her quickly.

Angel began to like Melody , and got to know her well. He always seemed to know when she was going to snap, and made sure she didn't make anything explode.


(a month later)Wednesday 6:30 PM
Connor walked into Melody's room, she was packing her things.

"Are you leaving?" Connor asked leaning on the doorframe.

"The kittens are gone, I don't have a reason to stay."

Melody shoved some more of her stuff in the bag.

"What if I don't want you to leave?"

Melody didn't look him in the eye.

"You don't care."

Connor walked up to her and lifted her chin.

"I do care, you are a great help here."

Melody grabbed his wrist and twisted it.

"Get your fucking hands off me."

She turned back to her packing. Connor grabbed her arm. Melody turned to him, rage in her eyes. She threw him against the wall.

"I said keep your hands off me."

Connor fell to the ground, suprised, and where he was the wall had crubled into pieces.

"Is it just me, or are you stronger?"

Melody walked over to him, stood him up and pinned him against the wall by his neck. Melody reached over and locked the door, vamping out. Connor watched in horror as she bit his throat, drinking some blood. Connor was almost dead now. She drew a deep scratch on her wrist, and held it to Connor's mouth. Without thinking he drank the cold blood. Connor went limp in her arms. She de-vamped, and laid him on the bed. She stroked his face softly.

"Wake up darling. We have a whole night ahead of us."

Connor's eyes snapped open.

"Are you ready to feed?" Melody asked as he sat up.

"I feel better, stronger."

"Good, now we can kill them all, are you hungry?"

Connor stood up and opened the door for her.

Downstairs Cordy was researching with Fred. Connor acted as if nothing was different. He went and stood behind Cordy, and Melody stood behind Fred. Melody looked at Connor and nodded. They simultaneously bit Cordy and Fred. Connor drank deep, savoring the taste of Cordelia's blood. They drained the bodies quickly, just in time for Angel to see Connor swallow the last of Cordy's blood. Angel was shocked, he couldn't move. Melody grabbed a stake off the desk and tossed it to Connor.

"He's your's."

Gunn appeared behind Angel.

"This one is mine."

Connor took the stake, and circled around Angel while Melody fought Gunn, who was weakened by the sight of the lifeless, pale body of Fred.

"Even if you were capable of fighting," Connor began. "I would kill you. I'm stronger now, stronger than you."

Connor smiled evilly at Angel and plunged the stake through his skin tissues, peircing his heart with the wooden shaft. Melody had Gunn now, and twisted his head at an unnatural angle. With a sickening snap his neck broke, killing him instantly. Angel then started to crumble, and exploded into dust. Melody watched this with interest.

"It's not very dark yet. We should stay here until it gets dark."

Melody lifted Gunn's lifeless body off the floor.

"I wonder what he tastes like." She mused.

Her face changed, and she bit him. Licking her lips, she turned to Connor.

"Not especially pure." She said with dissapointment.

"Any plans for tonight?" Connor asked impatiently.

Melody looked at the dust left by Angel.

"Well, I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, but we could crash one of the smaller clubs, kill everyone, create a crime scene. We would have to find more like us though."

Connor was game.

"As soon as the sun goes down, Love."

Melody went into the office, and came out with her necklaces.

"I'm going to see if I can find anything tighter than this." Melody tugged at her loose fitted t-shirt.

Connor followed her up the stairs. They reached Cordy's room first. Melody was digging through Cordelia's closet, throwing the loose stuff across the room. Eventually she came up with a short black skirt.

"I don't think miss 'This innocent look will fool them all' is going to have anything better than this." She said with a grimace. She pulled off her jeans, and yanked the skirt on. It came almost to her knees.

"As soon as I get out tonight, I am stealing the tightest outfit I can find."

Connor smiled.

"That's my girl."

Melody was pouting that Cordy hadn't had anything shorter or tighter.

"Don't forget that I sired you."

Melody took off the skirt and threw it back into the closet.

"We might as well check miss perfect's closet anyway."

Connor led the way to Fred and Gunn's room. Melody ripped the closet doors right off their hinges.

"It doesn't look like...." She trailed off. "Well, she had a naughty streak in her it looks like." Melody, now satisfied with her findings.

She pulled out a leather bodysuit that revealed cleavage. Melody yanked off her shirt, ripping it in the process. She pullled on the bodysuit, looking in the mirror with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Much, much better." Connor approved, not taking his eyes off the revealing neckline.

The bodysuit fit well, except the bustline, which was a little small for her.

"Ready to go?"

It was dark now. Melody shook her head. She took him to Angel's room.

"Here."

She threw him a white t-shirt and a leather duster. Connor put them on without thinking.

"We should go if we want to kill a whole club tonight."

Melody threw on her red leather jacket.

Melody and Connor ran into a few vampires who agreed it would be fun to kill a room full of people. The others, all male, were pretty tall. Connor didn't dare cross the tallest one, with brown hair and brown eyes, he looked tougher than most. He figured he could take the other two at one time with one arm tied behind his back. The five vampires burst into the club in full vamp gear.

"Nobody move, or we'll kill you all." Melody shouted forcefully.

Everyone froze with terrified expressions on their faces. Melody smiled, relishing her power over the fearful humans before her.

"Guard the doors." She commanded the other vampires.

The vampires took their positions at the 2 doors.

"Choose any you want."

Melody gave Connor free choice of the room. Connor walked up to the most beautiful girl he could find in the club.

"Watch carefully, if any of you little boys and girl misbehave, this will happen to you."

Connor snapped her neck. Melody raised her hand to signal the 3 vampires stationed at the doors.

"If anyone tries to leave, or enter, kill them."

As she spoke, a young man made a dash for the door, and was promptly killed.

"I tried to warn him." Melody said innocently.

She made her way to the bartender, who was trying to dial the phone.

"You will not do."

She reached over and broke his neck. She stopped by a scantily clad girl.

"You see that guy with the black hair I came in with?"

The girl nodded nervously.

"Go to him."

The girl got up and went over to the vampire. He grabbed her by the hair and sunk his fangs into her neck, drinking the life out of her. Melody continued walking around the club. She stopped by another girl.

"Do you want to get home?" She asked the girl.

The girl nodded vigorosly, not looking at Melody, fearing she was going to be next. Melody confirmed her fears and snapped her neck as well. Melody motioned to the brown haired vampire guarding the door next to the blonde one.

"Find something so we can kill them slower than this, ropes, something to tie them up."

Her voice was so low noone could hear it but him. He nodded and went to find something to tie them with. Connor stood beside her, acknowleding she was the commander of this slaughter. One of the people sitting at a table stood up, revealing she wasn't really a human after all, and she had a partner.

"Would you like to participate?" Melody asked her in a cool tone.

The female moved toward Melody with her partner behind her.

"Don't forget, I arranged this, I issue commands, I control what happens."

The female, who was a little shorter than Melody walked up to her cockily.

"You are new, I can tell."

Melody hit her across the room.

"I wasn't human when I was turned. And this is the offspring of two vampires, I turned him."

The female walked up to one of nearest guys, and in her frustration took his head right off his shoulders.

"Any questions? Comments?" Melody asked the crowd.

A girl raised her hand.

"What is it?"

The girl stared at the table.

"Are any of us getting out of here?"

Melody made her way to the terrified girl, and lifted her chin.

"No, you are all going to die tonight. Every single one of you, if you resist, you die a slower more painful death. Any more?"
Noone spoke up.

"Good."

Melody reached over to the nearest person and snapped his neck, Connor behind her killing as many as he could. One guy made a run for the door, but was caught by the blonde vampire.

"Wait, this one's mine."

Melody grabbed his shirt and yanked him back.

"What's your name?"

He was stubborn.

"I will never tell you."

Melody pulled out his wallet.

"Colin. You don't know how unlucky you are tonight, do you?"

Colin gulped, Melody could smell his fear.

"I think I do."

Melody shook her head.

"You couldn't possibly."

She tied him to a chair.

"If you scream really loud, maybe you will get off easy."

She broke his left ring finger. Colin clamped his mouth shut. She broke his left middle finger. This time he screamed. She took a knife off the table beside her.

"You really shouldn't have run, I might've snapped your neck then."

She criss-crossed his arms with cuts.

"But I did warn you."

She ripped his shirt open, and cut symbols on his chest, making him cry out again.

"I forgot how stupid humans can be, that whole bravery shit and all."

She continued cutting, making him scream again. His chest was covered in blood now. Melody circled behind him, and bit his jugular vein, letting the blood flow. As the blood was flowing, she cut his tongue out, making him scream one last time.
