She sat watching him as he prowled the streets with a whore attached to his arm. So this is Spike. She thought acidly. He had obviously become something completely different than the William she new. Instead of the insecure eunice she pinned William for, he now walked as if he owned the world. It only made her angrier.
Now, now, William. Manners. she thought to herself, uncrossing her legs and standing from the cafe chair. She paid the waiter with a gold piece and stepped out onto the street, following closely behind Spike. The woman on his arm floated along, glancing this way and that as if she were hunting. She reminded Cecily far too much of a cat...
Soon, they wound their way to a deserted alley, where thick fog found its way each night. Cecily screwed up her courage and followed them as they slipped into the inky blackness.
When the fog cleared enough to be able to see, she realized that the alley was now empty. But where had they gone? It was a dead end. Cecily turned around, looking and searching through the darkness.
"Looking for someone?" a voice asked from her left. She jumped and placed a gloved hand over her chest.
"Oh! You frightened me, sir." she said, trying her best to put up a civil act. The man smiled and stepped fully into the light of the moon and castings of the street lamps.
William.
"Well now. Isn't this a surprise." William said, placing his hands behind his back and smirking at her. Cecily shuddered and stepped backwards slightly.
"I wonder. What exactly was it you planned to do once you found me?" he asked mockingly, mirroring her step and closing the gap between them. Cecily's eyes went wide for a moment and she watched as William's face changed. Bones shifted and ridges formed above his eyes. And his eyes? Now they glowed with their own light and their own malice.
"I killed you're husband, Miss Adams. I'm sure I can follow through and kill you as well." he hissed, smiling through a fanged grin.
Cecily's rage boiled silently inside. Not yet... She silenced her inner demon.
Spike advanced on her again, flashing fang.
"I wouldn't try anything." Cecily warned, taking yet another step back.
Spike advanced. "And why's that Cecily?"
She stopped walking and took a deep breathe.
"Because I'm not Cecily any longer." she whispered, lowing her head as her face made the change. Skin rippled and shifted. When she faced Spike again, he narrowed his brow in confusion.
"My name is Halfrek, William," she said, smiling and showing off her new demon. "And I know exactly what I'm going to do to you."
"And...what is that, pet?" Spike asked cautiously, brow still knit in worry. Halfrek laughed slightly.
"Just a little vengeance." she said wickedly.
