Chapter 6
Chris didn't realize it was that late or rather that early but when he looked at his watch it was only a few more hours before sun rise. He was so caught up in the conversation he was having with Scout. He never thought a conversation with a teenage prostitute could be so interesting.
"It's three in the morning I'd better get you home." He said.
"Aww. You wanna bring me home early." Scout said sarcastically.
"What time does what's his name bring you home?" he asked.
"Seven." She answered.
"In the morning?"
"Yep."
"Whoa."
"Yeah," She said laughing.
"But I'm trying to be a gentleman here." Chris said.
"I noticed." Scout said with a smirk.
Scout stood up and dusted off her dress. "C'mon. Let's get go before I turn into a pumpkin." She said laughing reaching a hand down to help him up.
Chris smiled and took her hand gratefully. She pulled him up easily, and once again he was amazed at the young Slayer's strength. He found himself staring down into her amazing brown eyes. Her gaze was so intense. All this closeness and moonlight was going to make him do something stupid like kiss her.
And she would probably end up beating him up. Chris wasn't looking forward to rejection or getting his ass kicked by a fifteen year old girl. He had enough trouble with the three other women in his life.
"So where do you live?" He asked.
"Kingston Street Apartments," Scout replied glumly.
Chris had heard of Kingston Street it wasn't far from where they met. It was in one of the roughest neighborhoods in San Francisco.
"Are you going to that sparkly teleportation thing you do?" Scout asked.
Chris laughed, "You mean orb? Do you want me to? I was thinking we could walk there." Chris said.
"You want to walk there?" Scout asked.
Chris liked talking to her and he didn't want the night to end.
"Yeah." He said.
"Okay. Not many people walk down Kingston Street this late." Scout said.
"I don't want this night to end yet." He blurted.
"Me either," Scout said.
A scream rang out across the beach. Glancing at each other for a moment the two ran in the direction of the scream. Chris realized they could have simply orbed when they reached their destination and he was out of breath.
A blond vampire had a teenage girl pinned down and was sucking her heart out through her neck. Scout swung into action, pulling the vamp off of the girl and tossing him like he was old garbage. The vamp was on his feet quickly and on the attack.
Chris didn't know if he should help Scout or check on the girl. He kept glancing back between the fight and the bleeding girl. Scout was doing quite well on her own and anything Chris could do that was helpful might mean exposing magic to the still conscious and very hysterical girl lying on the ground.
Finally, he rushed over to calm the girl down. The vampire hadn't taken much of her blood and she was more scared than hurt. Scout wailed on the vampire until he ran off.
"I would have dusted his ass, but I forgot my stake." She said.
Chris tried not laugh.
"I thought the first rule of slaying was always have stake." He said.
"No the first rule is don't die."
"Oh, well you followed it,"
"Is she okay?" Scout asked.
"She'll be fine, he barely got swallow in." Chris said.
"Let's get her to a hospital," Scout said.
Thirty minutes later, they were standing on the second floor of Kingston Street Apartments right in front of number 123.
"I had a great time. Aside from the vamps and the hospital mayhem," Scout said.
"I did too."
Scout stared up into his green eyes and she knew there was something he wasn't saying.
"So good night," She said.
"Yeah goodnight,"
"Oh just kiss me for crying out loud!"
