"How are you doing?" She asked with concern.
"H-How did you do that?" He said as he looked up into her eyes. Their enemies began to stir, as Selene got to her feet and pulled up Spike. Facing the Empata demon Selene threw a roundhouse kick that the demon intercepted.. She immediately picked up her other foot a drove it upwards that knocked his chin, followed through by flipping all the way over and landing on her feet. Spike had removed a gleaming dagger from his boot and with a swift motion rammed it into the other vampire's heart.
"See ya around bro,' he said as the vampire turned to dust."Too bad the clean up of this one won't be so easy."Spike quipped
"We'll see about that." Selene said as her eyes began to glow green again. Extending one arm, a unseen force expunged the staggering demon down the hall and crashed out the 10th floor window. After that Selene wavered in the air and Spike caught her as she fell, obviously drained from the use of her powers. Spike carried Selene back into his apartment, re-locked the doors, and
brought her to a couch.
"Are you alright there, love?" he said into her face. Her eyes fluttered and open; they were now just normal green. She sucked in
air and she began to regain her composure.
"That really took a lot out of me. I guess it's a lot easier for me to do it to the non-supernatural way."
"Now that you mention it, what is it that you do?"
"When I was about 16, I started to hear whispers in the air. Obviously I thought it was some sort of mental disorder but these whispers....guided me to an old book store that specialized in occult books. The book that they guided me to was this ancient, and might I add, rather expensive leather book. The owner of the store explained that this book was partially written in a text no human could decipher. It spoke of the one woman who commanded, things of an unseen nature' she also was the same soul reborn into different bodies since the beginning of time. The book called her Elettricitaa since she controlled the power around her like electricity."
"Hmmm sounds familiar." Spike said
"What does?" Selene asked
"Elettricitaa.....I've heard of that before. She's kind of like the fairy tale champion of the Vampires, I believe."
"The Anti-slayer...as if you guys needed help."
"Well love I still need to feed and we should leave before anymore blokes come for me."
"Agreed."
Selene returned to her apartment a few blocks over. Spike feeling better, decided to prey on some weaklings that were dumb enough to roam the New York streets at night. Spike's bullet wound was near to being completely healed, and his injuries from the fight with the three assailants hurt but his hunger momentarily silenced them. The darkness in the alleys stank, so Spike choose not to breathe. He pushed himself against a wall and froze. He didn't need to do this, his physical strength alone, allowed him to confront any human and win. However, tonight he desired to become one with the darkness, let the night become him. A girl came, as she always did. He grabbed her throat and pinned her to the wall, squeezing her neck until he could feel her pulse throbbing and the heat escaping her. The dark skinned girl was obviously shocked as she tried to speak.
"No more words love, just a kiss" And with that Spike contorted his face and savagely bite her neck and sunk his teeth in.
