Slowly Selene drug Spike to the park where he first found her that foggy night two years ago, "To bad you went out alone Spike. To bad you wouldn't fess up to your sins. Now you have to pay for them, and no Guardian Angel for you." She said, her voice dark and cold, and very reminiscent of Angelus.
Mana kept her voice was low but her tone steady and firm. "Release him, or you will be sorry." She said coldly, her raven curls whipping in the wind and blew away from her face, her sapphire gaze piercing in the moonlight. She had followed them, silently through the streets of L.A.
The oldest one there glared at her coldly, "A pathetic attempt to replicate the protection of a Guardian Angel," she declared, slamming a stake through his shoulder hard in the original hole from earlier that day. "Wanna explain to your underage whore about a Guardian Angel 'brother'?" she asked, her voice dripping with venom.
Mana lunged at the woman, whirling her around and pinning her to a tree. "Stop it! Stop this! Listen to me! I'm not some underage whore! I'm 114 years old! Far from a child!" her eyes fixed on the woman's and she froze. The sight of those eyes caused her to back away slowly, the confusion evident on her face.
Selene snarled, backhanding her hard to throw her off, "And I'm 350 what's you damn point? Physically you're a child! Just like I was!" she growled, throwing the teenage looking vampire into a fountain before going back to her prey and slamming a stake into his other shoulder, "Spike do you know how much it hurts to be in a child's body and be penetrated by a full grown man? Do you Spike?" she hackled slamming another stake through his left ankle, just as Mana let out a loud, bloodcurdling scream that ripped through the air of the park, causing Selene to freeze, tears prickling her eyes as she slammed the last stake into his right ankle and just ran head long into traffic vanishing.
Quickly the remaining vampiress ran to him, ignoring the woman's retreating form and made quick work of the offending stakes and lowing him to the ground. The sun would be up soon and she simply could not carry him back home and with the shattered window it wouldn't be safe there anyway so she hunched over his shuddering form and sobbed, clutching him to her chest. "Don't leave me too," she whimpered pathetically.
A few blocks away Selene was shaking silently as she slumped down in an ally. She wouldn't have killed him, not really, he was family, maybe the only fanged family she had left. Slowly she cast her eyes upward tears flowing down her face ready to embrace the fiery ball that for over half a year had made her a life hell.
Slowly Angel came around the corner with Fred and Wesley, obviously on their way back from the nightly patrol. He froze when his eyes settled on her then he was off like a shot, kneeling next to her, "Selene?! What's wrong love? What happened?"
Slowly she looked up whimpering, "I killed Spike."
His face fell and the others shuffled uncomfortably behind him. "What do you mean you killed Spike?" he asked gently, careful to keep accusation from his voice.
"I-I pinned him down in the park after I beat him half to death," she whimpered, tears flowing, it was clear she was remorseful. "I murdered him because of his tricks and games."
He sighed heavily and lifted his gaze to the lightening sky before pulling her to her feet. "Come on, we better find him before the sun rises."
Selene quickly shook her head, "I want to burn too!"
"The hell you will!" Angel growled as he threw her over his shoulder and started down the alley. "You need to show us where he is!"
Selene then began crying in earnest, pounding her fists against his shoulder like a spoiled brat, "He was in bed with a child!"
"Spike may be many things but a pedophile is not one of them," Angel said coldly.
"I saw them with my own eyes!" She screamed and Sobbed, struggling harder to free herself from his grasp, paler than ever. Slowly she seemed to give up on escape letting herself go limp over his shoulder, tears falling.
Angel lightly stroked her leg and wandered through the park until they came across the girl clutching Spike's battered body to her chest, sobbing loudly. Slowly Selene's struggle returned, finally able to kick free of her lovers grasp running from the group, glancing back to watch them tend to the pair. All the while Mana was obviously wary of anyone in the company of the crazed woman, and clinging for dear life to her lover, refusing at first to let them near and only giving in after a frightened glance at the sky.
Selene smiled a little at them before digging dog style into the fresh soil curling up in the earth as she pulled the dirt back over herself crying, "I'm a coward Mommy, a murdering coward" she murmured, shivering under the earth. "M-maybe I can escape, go to New York, or find Pandora, she still sorta likes me." she mused aloud.
