chapter 5

Eponines P.O.V.

I felt better than I had in years. I felt free. Like I had

a purpose in life. And that purpose lies within the darkness.

It had only been half an hour earlier that I had woke and left my

house. Well, my papas house anyway. Well actually, it is an inn. I had

never even dreamed that I would ignore the thought of Marius as I am

now. At the moment, it seemed like all I cared about was darkness.

Although, I did care about what my purpose was.

' It is so dark...Yet, I can see perfectly' I thought as I continued along my way.

I was walking through a dense forest. About ten minutes ago I had

stopped by a spring and washed all of the dried blood off of myself. My

clothes( well, what passed as clothing) were still dirty, but I decided that

I would worry about that later.As i walked on, I heard something. It sounded like footsteps.

' Who do you suppose would be out this late? Don't they know it is dangerous

to be out in the dark?' I thought.

I listened carefully. It was definately footsteps. I also heard voices.

It sounded like three people. I walked in the direction of the footsteps. It

became silent.

" There she is." said a female voice, with an english accent, from behind

me.

I quickly spun around. Standing in front of me was a girl and two men.

Well, they weren't really humans. There was something different about

them. They were like me.

The girl seemed to be about ten years older than me. She was wearing

a long, flowing red dress and red heels. She wore her long dark hair down.

One of the guys looked like he was abut the same age as the girl. He

had bright blond hair. It almost looked white. He was wearing dark brown

pants and a trench coat.( the other guy was wearing a trench coat too)

" 'ello my pet." he said. Apparently he was english as well. " I'm Spike.

And this here is Drusilla." he said, pointing to the girl.

I glanced at them both. Then I turned to look at the other guy. He

had his long brown hair back in a ponytail. He was dressed pretty much

the same as Spike. He seemed familiar though.

' Ah, I remember now.' I thought. ' He is the gentleman that drained me

of my life. What is his name again?....'

" Anglus......" I said. " You have no idea what you have done for me.

You gave me something that I have never even dreamed of."

" No need to thank me." he replied. " I came here to teach you."

" Ummmm.... Now that we have found her, can we continue along our

way?" Spike asked Angelus. " Dru and I are growing hungry."

I was hungry as well. That was the main reason I had left the inn in the first place. I guess I had forgotten about my hunger because I was so

deep in thought.

" The girl is probably starving." Drusilla said. " After all, she has never fed

before. What is her name?"

" My name is Eponine." I told her as we walked off to find our prey.

After a while we found a young girl. She seemed to be only twelve

years old. She was so innocent looking. I almost felt bad that I was going

to kill her.

" Eat up." Spike said.

I held the girl tight as I sunk my fangs into her neck. She gave a

shrill cry and then her body went limp. I felt such pleasure when I

tasted the warm substance in my mouth. I drained her until she was

almost dry.

" That was quite refreshing." I said as I threw the body to the ground.

N/A sorry it took me so long to update. i was suffering from writersblock.
