thoughts
He was on the prowl, looking for someone to eat. His dark plum wanted take-out tonight, if Spike were lucky he would find an Asian or perhaps an Italian to bring home. Drusilla enjoyed playing with their food and ketchup made a nice faux-blood.
His steps had brought him towards the subway-station. Lots of people and no exposure to sun. All he had to worry about were the nagging feeling of something familiar, something… dangerous approaching him. Although he was sure he could handle himself, he may be young but he was a Master Vampire; the Big Bad, Spike tried to find the danger teasing his senses.
It was just after sundown. People were milling around, waiting for the trains: late shoppers, workers on their way home, teenagers wanting to party… He had so many to choose from but first a little snack. He had his eye on a young black woman and her child, a small boy. She seemed to wait for something, barely acknowledging the people around her.
Spike waited until the crowd thinned before swaggering forward. The child would do to quell his hunger before he played with the woman. The black coat she wore looked nice.
