Deciding not to walk away from this event like a dog with his tail between his legs, he raced after the blond since she was easier to track. Spike grabbed her roughly and dragged her out the back door. His face contorted to the demon and he began feeding on the kicking and screaming girl. When he had drained her dry, he let the body drop to the ground of the alley with a sickening thud. With a satisfied sigh, Spike let his face morph back into his handsome human visage. After a moment or two he regained composer and fumbled to find the cigarettes in his duster.
"Wanna a light?" said a low voice that came from the darkest shadows in the alley. A form appeared to accompany the voice as it walked confidently towards the alerted vampire. A lighter flicked a small flame and progressed ahead of the dark haired girl with an out stretched arm.
"Just so you can charm me with your proverbial wit, my name is Selene."
"You." Spike growled, feeling the vampiric face flickered below
the surface.
"Yes, me. Let me be forward and guess you are......Billy Idoyl!"
Spike permitted Selene to light the cigarette that was held gently in between his lips. He took a drag and blew the smoke into Selene's face and replied,
"William the Bloody, or as my victims like to scream.... ‘Spike'"
"Ahhh."She took a step back.
"So what are you? A slayer with lack of responsibilities, a vengeance demon...no.. you couldn't be those cause you let her die."
"Maybe I just didn't like her." Just then the club's back door opened and a bouncer looked around and saw them, and then the body.
"Hey you guys, is she all right?"
"She must have had too much fun tonight, that's all." Selene explained
"We'll take her home." Spike said The bouncer hadn't been satisfied and decided to take a look at the girl's ‘condition.'
"She doesn't look,- but spike had already grabbed him by the throat and savagely sucked at his throat. This time Spike's host managed to break free and was ready for a fight. The large man threw a punch that Spike easily dodged and managed to deliver an uppercut. It connected with his jaw and set the man aback and dazed. Spike took his feeding hold on the man once more and
drank rapidly. Suddenly Spike felt the hard steel of a gun's muzzle jab his side then explode a bullet in to him. As spike was knocked back, the man ran drunkenly out of the alley and down the street.
Walking over to where Spike lay clutching at his side, Selene thought of how to benefit from the situation. She squatted near the wound and drew Spike agonized face into her warm hands. Confused, bewildered and dealing with some serious pain Spike some how found himself locked in a gaze with Selene's deep green eyes. The pain disappeared, or seem to grow unimportant. The depth of her eyes seem to radiate with an aged soul. One he could not remember seeing since he looked into Angel's eyes, and perhaps Dru's and Darla's. When she spoke the spell was broken; as the voice did not match the feeling he'd been getting from her eyes.
"Look, I have no feeling towards you, but we've become engaged in a situation that could result in mutual benefits."
"Y-Yea." Spike stammered as the blood of his last two victims leaked onto the pavement.
"You have bullet lodged in your side and I have means to get it out."
"So do it!"
"Out of the goodness of my heart?"
"Uh-huh"
"Just like you killed that girl, out of the ‘goodness' of your heart?"
"Well no.......let's not get cheeky, love. You seem to be aware of the dark things that leark in the night, yet you are human. You know what I am, so what I did was just... nature."
"Yeah in a super-natural sort if way," Selene mumbled under her breath.
"Okay. So let's get you to your place so we handle this more privately."
"Right."
With effort Selene helped the wounded vampire to his feet as they made their way out of the alley and down the street. With his arm across her shoulders he balanced his weight and used her as a crutch. Being this close to a human reminded him of the sweet liquid that pumped through her veins, so near to the surface of her skin. He found himself hypnotized with her cleavage that could be seen thanks to her scoop neck tee. He imagined sinking his fangs into to the soft sweet smelling flesh, seizing her heavenly body close to his. She had noticed his intent interest on her chest, and said, "At least I you you're taking interest in that area, solely in the pursuit of hunger." In response he growled quietly and kept on walking.
