A/N: Last Chapter I totally messed up:( I meant to say, "Endith the Lesson." You know like Spike says to Buffy after he tells her about how he killed slayers in "Fool for Love." Buffy also said this to the potentials after killing the Turok-Han in "Showtime." So sorry about that!

The next tale in the collection is a bit different then the others we have read. In the last one Liam, had been turned and wasn't quite evil enough to ignore his past love, but now in this tale he has changed. This story has to do with a young woman named Elizabeth Winter, and the rest you'll have to read for yourself.

England 1870

Elizabeth Winter hated men. They were, in her opinion, always looking for a little more than what was appropriate. At least the men she had encountered. Tonight was no exception. Her Uncle, Peter, owned a bar that was full of drunks. She hated it, and she hated spending the whole evening at the bar. She wasn't feeling well either; she had not been getting enough sleep lately. Her sleep was plagued by nightmares. They always ended the same way, with her staring at a man's face. She'd had these dreams ever since she could remember, one of the many reasons she hated men.

"Elizabeth mind the bar for me?" Her brother, Jack asked her.

"You're leaving me alone?" She asked in horror.

"Remember that punch father taught you?" Jack asked her.

"Yes."

"Any man tries to touch you use that and run outside, I've got some business to attend to but I'll be back in a bit." Jack told her.

Elizabeth considered this. She finally nodded. "Alright, but be back soon."

He nodded and made his way out the back. Then she was alone, with men.

There weren't many in the bar, ten or eleven, but that was enough. Most of them were talking about the brutal murders that have happened around the area.

"They said it was unholy." A regular, James said.

"Yes, but did anyone of yea here how they found 'em?" Another regular said, who Elizabeth wasn't sure of the name.

"No, how?" James asked.

"With two holes in their necks!"

"How'd that happen?" Someone asked.

"Dunno! They just said that it was like a bit mark or something."

"A bite mark?" A man named William asked.

"Yes!"

"Who would do that?" A guy named Thomas asked.

"Maybe an animal." James answered.

"No, they ruled out animals." The same man who had spoken before said.

"That's strange." William said and then all was silent. Then the men went to talk about other things and Elizabeth stopped listening.

She cleaned up the bar, washed out some glasses and wiped of the counter. When she looked up from doing this a man came in. He looked so familiar he was also very handsome.

He looked at her. "Hello."

"Hi." She said and smiled at him.

And after that Elizabeth was doomed. She sat there, a fool and obviously not in her right state of mind, and talked with him. She discussed everything, from her family to politics. It started to get late and everyone was going home.

"Elizabeth are you going home?" Jack wanted to know.

"I think I'll walk home with-." She stopped. "Oh my, I'm sorry in all the time of speaking I never got your name."

"Liam." He said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Something went off in Elizabeth's head but she brushed it away. "Yes, I think I'll walk home with Liam."

Jack pulled her off to the side. "Are you drunk?"

"No!"

"Then why are you walking home with a man?" Jack asked her.

"Because maybe I am a slight bit drunk and I like him." Elizabeth told her older brother.

He shook his head. "Be careful."

"I will." She said and turned around to face Liam.

"Shall we?" she asked and he nodded and they walked out into the chilly air.

They were walking for a while when Liam steered them toward an alleyway.

"Why are we going this way?" She said, playing with her golden blonde hair.

"It's a shortcut."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes."

They walked down the alleyway until Liam turned to her. "This might sound strange, but have you been having strange dreams, not even dreams a nightmare?"

She stopped walking. "Yes."

"Does one of them involve a girl named, Lili and the other a girl named Gillian?" he asked her and she nodded.

He let go of her hand. "Whose point of view are you seeing this all through?"

"Lili's and Gillian's." Elizabeth said.

Liam nodded. He then hit her. She fell to the floor.

"You know I've been looking for you for a while, Liz." Liam said and when he looked at her she saw that his face had changed.

"Do you remember me, Lizzie?" Liam asked.

"No." she whimpered.

"I don't look familiar at all to you?" Liam questioned.

She nodded. "Thought so. Well I'm Liam, you know the love of your life you're soul mate. Except I don't have a soul anymore. I'm what you call a vampire, Liz and vampires don't have soul mates." He picked her up. "So when you die, tell that to the chosen line. I won't see you again; I don't want to and honestly I don't need to. Liam's dead." With that he snapped her neck and dropped the body on the floor with a thud.

No wonder why Elizabeth hated men.
