Master Index

Spike pointed toward the grave. “A Fledge has just risen.” Making a show of scanning the cemetery and sniffing the air as if he were trying to find the vamp, he added, “but I’m not sure where.”

“How do we find it?” Xander asked.

Spike shoved him. As Xander stumbled against a tombstone Spike called out, “We use bait.” By the time Xander had turned around, Spike had vanished.

The Fledge was on Xander almost immediately; hunger had made it stupid. As Xander flailed his arms ineffectively, hitting the Fledge but doing no damage, screaming for help as he tried to free himsel, Spike shifted into position, biding his time until the moment was right. As the heartbeat slowed, Spike shoved a stake into the Fledge.

Tearing open his wrist, Spike knelt into the settling dust, hovering over Xander before lifting him into one arm, smiling as Xander latched on and started to feed. “I may be chipped, but I’m not stupid. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.”

Well, I've been leaning away from evil!Spike/vamp!Xander, but so many people seem to want it. I'm sure to have some time tomorrow so I'll see if I can come up with something.

I want to thank everyone who suggested more. I'm working on the third chapter, and it's such fun! I have a vague idea of where it'll end up and I know what the next couple of chapter's will be, but other than that I'm making it up as I go, but the story is getting written. So thanks for suggesting I continue it because, while I had no plans to, it's turing out to be a blast!
