Spike's POV
Thank God I got there in time. Mark will still be out for awhile, but he'll live. I don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to him. I just hope that he's ready to face his destiny.

Mark's POV
Holy Crap! I woke up on a couch in a strange apartment with the blonde man that saved me coming in with a tray of coffee and toast. Now all of this is strange, but then the man started talking. I'm a Slayer!

Spike's POV
I could rip Mike's throat out. He never told Mark about his family, His family which has a rich history of obligation and destiny. His family that honestly, is extremely violent and unorthodox but still, Mike should have at least explained about vampires. The kid is walking around at night with Slayer Blood, practically saying come bite me. Worst of all the kid thinks Hope abandoned him and that we were having an affair. Stupid Wanker like he's one to talk, he was the one cheating on her. Never would have told her though. It would have broken her heart. I learned not to tell the girls about their relationships, just be there for them when they fell apart. Summers Women really do have bleeding tragic taste in men.

Mark's POV
So Spike's been training me and it's kind of cool that I'm a descent of a long line of Slayers. In fact, there isn't another family who can boast our heritage. Few Slayers have kids and the ones that do tend to have short lives and the kids get themselves killed. Spike told me about Faith, another Slayer, and how she married the son of another Slayer and the whole family died when their daughter was three. He says I'll be alright as long as stay indoors at night until I'm done training. Yet, I still can't get over what my dad told me about my mom sneaking off with Spike. I know Spike hasn't lied to me, but I wonder what kind of relationship he had with this line of Slayers and how he is connected to us. I'm still too afraid to ask him about my mom, but maybe someday.
