Challenge #58 is brought to us by flaming_muse, and it's drabbles that are either about or from the POV of minor characters. To define "minor character", we'll say any character that has never appeared in the opening credits of either AtS or BtVS. So that would make it fair game to write about characters like Lilah, Drusilla, Faith, the Mayor, Warren, Files and Records, the lunch lady, Principal Snyder, Nikki, Wood, Lindsey, April, Holtz, Gunn's sister, Cecily, Virginia, Merl, Clem, or any other character like that you can think of.

BtVS – Season 1 – Out of Sight, Out of Mind

1. Did You Hear Something? – Marcie

"Hey, did you hear something?" She stopped crying at the age of one month, when it became obvious nobody paid attention. Fed, bathed and changed on schedule. Sweet baby, no trouble, they said.

"Hey, did you hear something?" She stopped trying to make friends at school, when it became obvious that her opinions didn't matter, was always the leftover player for any team and boys? They never looked her way at all.

"Hey, did you hear something?" Things were different now. She made sure she was heard if not seen. The last thing they heard before their deaths was… "Marcie."

2. I Am What I Am – Willy

Fucking vampires! Who the hell did they think they were, anyway? **Bam** I need information, Willy. Tell me everything you know and I won't bust your nose a second time, Willy. I'm a little rusty when it comes to killing humans. It could take a while, Willy. See how you're laughing now that Spike's got his hands on you, Angel. Bastard.
 
Spike's another one, damn him. He knows he's a rat – snitch out his own granny for a buck, but Spike makes him feel dirty for it.
 
And the Slayer? She could hit him any time. He'd spill for her.

3. The More Things Change – Dalton

He'd been small as a child; sensitive and sickly. He'd spent weeks at a time abed, with one ailment or another. His mama used to fear he'd never live past his childhood.

He survived to attend University, books and languages spread out before him like the finest gourmet fare. He'd also spent far too much time in the infirmary, recovering from one bashing or another. Lowest creature on the foodchain – he longed for power.

Researching for Drusilla's cure, Spike's vicious insistence on decoding the text - Dalton doesn't know why he ever thought things would be different as a vampire.
