Radimer looked over at the wild-eyed blond at the table with him.

"Is everything in place?"

"Of course, Radimer, do you think I would wait and plan all these years for my revenge on the slayer that killed my clan as well as your village, only to skip steps in the plan? I have almost a hundred vamp along with all the various magical assistance we could find, ready to destroy the slayer's whole little life here in Sunnydale, after which you can take your time torturing her until you take her head." Her eye showed a particularly evil gleam as she discussed the slayer's demise." what's up with the immortals that have started showing up all over town?"

"Well, several of them are mine, and some are drawn by the Hellmouth's mystic energy. It shouldn't be a factor. I just might pick up a few on the side." He smirked at the idea.

"Larrissa, I need you to begin taking a toll on the locals, so as to draw the slayer out, but try and stay off f holy ground. Once you spot the slayer, track and relay to me so my teams can close in. I need to find out anyone she is close to other than the little red-headed newbie. I need to destroy her world, make her feel the pain of loosing everything. That will make her weak and vulnerable. She will beg me to end the pain and torment, and I will then take her head."

Larrissa remembers back to the day she first saw Radimer. He rode into the recently destroyed village, devastated by the total destruction of his family's village. He collapsed in grief at the home of his parents. Darkness fell, he was still there. She crept from her hiding place deep within the dung pile in the garden, her only refuge from the sun and Slayer. She saw something beyond hope, a tender morsel to restore her failing strength. She pounced. He had given up on life and never struggled. She drained him dry and cast him aside, prepared to search out the rest of her vampire brethren when her ears heard the unbelievable. A human heartbeat. He was alive; after she was sure she had drained him well past the point of death, and distinctly remembered the ceasing of his heart. She returned to the young man, curiosity aroused. He seemed to be recovering quite well. This puzzled her enough to begin to question him, and answer his questions about what had happened in the village. In time she told him of the Slayer's attack, killing everything in an attempt to drive the peaceful vampire clan that had been co-existing in the village for centuries, to the surface so the might be slain. It appeared they were the only two survivors of this atrocity. They pledged to go out, grow stronger and once strong enough, and get revenge. It has taken several hundreds of years for them to amass enough wealth, knowledge and resources to accomplish their goal. The time was near to fulfill their blood oath to each other.

"Radimer, you must let me drain her a few times before you kill her."

"Sure, my sweet" he replied, leaning to kiss her pale cheek.
