Chapter 3

-----

After what seemed like forever, Spike saw a sign that said: Welcome to Cleveland. "Finally," he said. It took all his will power not to drive over the sign though. During the drive, Spike had already begun to think about what he would do. He would sell the car for money. Then he could get a small place and still afford to buy bagged blood. He would have to find out where to get blood first, there should be a butchers around somewhere. However, since it was close to sunrise, Spike decided to do a quick patrol around a cemetery. Then he could find a crypt to stay in until the next night.

He pulled over near the closest graveyard and walked out of the car. He locked the car and was on his way. As he walked around he was on the look out for a crypt and any kind of demon. Spike didn't have to walk too far, he soon heard sounds of a nearby fight. He hid in the shadows and watched as three teens fought a group of vampires. Spike examined how each of the teens fought. The shorter of the three was most definitely a wizard of someone kind, and advanced one at that. The taller male used his strength to defeat his opponents. As for the female, her scent screamed 'slayer.'

When the fight was over, Spike decided they deserved some applause. He walked out of the shadows as he was asked by the girl, "Who are you?"

"The name's Spike," he answered smugly, "or you can just call be William the Bloody. I prefer Spike though."

Looking over at the three, it was obvious to see the taller boy was standing slightly in front of the smaller boy in a very protective stance. Spike decided he'd find out more about their relationships later.

"What do you want?" the young slayer asked.

"Just wanted my own life, got tired of following everybody else," he explained honestly, "so I came here to help the good-doers."

"Really?" the small boy asked interested, but the tall boy gave him a look and he stopped talking.

Spike just raised an eyebrow at the two as he explained, "Look, I'm Spike, a vampire with a soul who has helped stop apocalypses before. Now, I am here to help you sight the good fight."

He held out his hand in a sign of friendship. Marisa bravely stepped forward to grasp the cold hand. "I'm Marisa," she stated as she shook his hand then stepped back.

Seb would have walked up next, but was stopped by Billy walking ahead of him. No one except Spike caught the look of hurt that appeared on the small boy's face.

"Billy," the tall boy stated as he shook the offered hand. He stepped back and watched carefully as Seb took the cold hand and introduced himself, "And I'm Sebastien, but you can call me Seb." Billy gave him a look, and Seb backed away from the vampire.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Spike said, "now, where do you guys hang out, I'm hungry."

Spike saw all their eyes widen and he quietly corrected himself, "I'm hungry for actually food, I already have pig's blood stashed in my car."

"We usually hang at a club called 'The White Dragon,' they have good music and even better food," Marisa explained, indicating that he should follow them.

"Great, lets go," Spike said walking beside Seb, "we can all go and just get to know each other better."

"Sounds like a plan, I know I have my questions," Billy stated as he moved to stand between Seb and Spike.

Spike just gave him a look before shrugging it off for now and just walked with them.

In no time, they arrived at the club and easily walked in. "Come on, we'll sit at our favorite table," Marisa said running over to a vacant squared table that seated four.

"We finally have a person to sit in the lonely fourth chair," Seb joked as he took a seat next to Marisa, and Billy sat across from him next to Spike.

"So, tell us more about why you're here, and how you got your soul," Billy said.

"Well, I got my soul for Buffy the slayer, I went through certain 'tasks' to get it. Afterwards, I supposedly died in the apocalypse, but I came back and got stuck with the ever popular Angel. So, once again I was taking orders and following somebody else around. I finally got fed up, and just stole one of Angel's cars and I was off, not before punching the pounce in the face mind you," Spike explained, "that's basically my story, and I'm a little over 130 years old."

"Wow," Marisa exclaimed.

"Yeah, now tell me more about you guys," Spike said.

"I'll start," Marisa spoke first, "I recently turned seventeen, and Billy is my older brother. We were in the orphanage together, but when he turned eighteen last year we were able to leave and get our own place. Our parents had died in a car crash when I was just a baby. Billy had always trained me to be able to protect myself, and last year I found out I was a slayer and I came into my power. Now he trains me twice as hard. I later met Seb in school and now he lives with us, but I'll let him tell you his side of the story. So, that's all I have."

When she finished she looked to Billy, indicating he should speak next. "Right," Billy started, "I turned nineteen this year, and I'm the oldest of the three of us. I'm also the one who found Seb after my job finished." They could all see that Spike was interested to know what had happened to the small boy. Then Billy continued, "There isn't much left to say about me though, Marisa basically said everything anyway."

Seb sat uncomfortable in his seat, he really didn't want to say much about himself. What if this Spike wanted to reject him too. "My turn I guess," Seb stated nervously, "I'm the youngest of the group, seeing as I'm still sixteen. My aunt had been the one to introduce magic to me, she bought me all kinds of books. She taught me until she died when I was only thirteen. For the last three years I've been teaching myself. I met Marisa in school, and when she invited me to her house I met Billy. Last year my parents kicked me out of the house and basically disowned me, and that's when Billy found me wandering the streets alone. He took me in and gave me a place to stay. I got a part time job after school and during the weekends to pull my own weight. And that's it." Seb finished and then excused himself to use the bathroom. Spike caught the look that passed between Marisa and Billy and he knew that Seb hadn't given him the whole story.

"What didn't he tell me?" Spike asked, he knew there was a reason that Seb's parents disowned him.

Billy quickly said, "Nothing, just drop it."

Spike shrugged and ordered some fried onions in the form of a flower, his favorite.

Seb walked in to the bathroom and up to a sink to wash his face with water. He tried not to think about his parents, or what had happened that night on the streets. And he suppressed a shudder as he went to wipe the water from his face. He was stopped from leaving when he felt someone grabbed him from behind.

"Miss me?" the evil voice whispered in Seb's ear. This person was Seb's worst nightmare come true, and he never went away.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone Alex," Seb said trying to hide his fear and nervousness.

"Actually, Billy told me to leave you alone, but I don't see him around anywhere. Therefore, you're mine now," Alex hissed as he ran his tongue along the shaking boy's neck.

"Don't be so afraid, you I how much I missed you," Alex whispered and Seb could feel his breath along his wet neck.

"Please, just leave me alone," Seb pleaded. Alex growled out a NO, before shoving Seb against the wall and forcefully kissing the scared boy. Seb just closed his eyes and willed him to go away, he was too afraid to move or say anything and he never used magic against someone who wasn't some kind of demon. As Alex tried to thrust his tongue into Seb's tightly closed mouth, he was pushed away and into a stall door. He looked up to see Billy grabbing Seb away from the wall into his arms before snarling at Alex, "I told you to stay away from Seb, if I ever see you near him again I'll make sure you never walk again." With that, Billy took Seb and left the restroom.

He walked up to the table where Marisa and Spike were talking and stated, "I'm taking him home."

"Why?" Marisa asked looking at Seb who was just staring at the floor.

"Alex," Billy explained in one word.

Marisa nodded and watched as Billy led Seb away from the club.

"Who's Alex?" Spike asked after the two had left.

"Seb's old abusive boyfriend," Marisa said without a thought.

"Boyfriend?" Spike asked, everything started to make a little more sense now.

"Yeah, boyfriend. Okay, when I first met Seb, he was getting beat up by some bullies in school, he had been labeled as the school 'fag.' I went over and kicked all their asses and helped Seb up. After that he became my best friend, and we became close and he even became close with Billy. Months later, Seb decided to come out to his parents and they ended up kicking him out. Billy later found him on the streets being harassed by a couple of guys, and we took him in after that. He later found a boyfriend, Alex, and we all thought Seb was pretty happy. That's when Seb started to come home with some bruises, and he admitted that Alex had started to hit him. Billy was afraid of it getting worse and took care of it himself. Of course, Alex has been around more often then we would like. So we both keep an eye out for Seb, and he hasn't really had a serious boyfriend since," Marisa finished, her eyes were just daring Spike to say something against Seb.

"Why doesn't he use he magic against the jerk?" Spike asked, and for some reason he felt he could rip out Alex's throat.

Marisa smiled at Spike's reaction and explained, "Seb gets too afraid and he vowed never to use his powers against people who weren't demons."

Spike nodded his head in understanding and said, "Come on, I'll walk you home."

Marisa smiled and ran out the door, leaving Spike to pay the bill.

"Bloody women," Spike complained before throwing some money on the table and following her outside.
