Spike / Xander
*******
Xander Harris ... the victim perfect. He always had been. Perfect because he never failed to attract the predators.
seemed incredible that only a few months and they have been forgotten. But now, with a claw on his neck while trying to breathe that kind of details will come to mind very clearly. It was like a cosmic joke that could remember just when I could not do anything about it.
The box he was carrying in his hand lay on the floor open, revealing the reason why that hour was out of their safe and comfortable apartment at the time less convenient. But Xander had never set too in the hours, especially at night. As usual I was out at night when I lived in Sunnydale she had forgotten how important it could be that detail now living in LA
were not all monsters and vampires ...
Xander looked back the face of her assailant and recomposed the assertion. It was assumed that it was not all monsters and vampires in LA That was his hope, but it seemed that his bad luck would follow him there.
The monster roared in his face. Bad breath, would have dared to say it was not because there was not enough room to breathe and say it. It had been about three minutes that your feet do not touch the ground but his brain would take a little longer to process the situation and realize that he had no oxygen to keep working ... I had always been rather slow in some respects .
However, the sudden movement of the other claw from his side towards his chest did accelerate neurological processes.
Xander Harris ... is time to leave. He told himself as he reached the certainty that he would die there in that place, because of donuts. And what was worse, had not even had time to try. They were just baked knew because when he got the box could feel the warmth of those underneath and the smell was unmistakable. Her mouth had water at the time, especially because it was a miracle that he just touched the baked. Now could only imagine what would have been ultimately prove one of those.
returned to concentrate when the pain in his ribs was stronger than thought. The monster was probably thinking about how I was going to eat.
The monster discovered two tusks, yellow and terrifyingly sharp and Xander did not know whether he smiled or roared. After his senses began to leave and the noise of blood in his ears was higher than the roar of the beast that.
closed his eyes a few seconds, maybe that could think clearly what to do. I could not do much really, but it was something to do while the monster of enormous tusks decided how it would end, if a bite in the neck, a blow in the stomach or perhaps tearing the heart while he was still alive.
pressure on his neck and disappeared for a few seconds he stood, as if she weighed nothing against the brick wall of the building. Finally fell to the floor without knowing whether the monster had decided that it was not good enough for dinner or if she had vanished into thin air by magic.
"Another stupid human walking alone at this hour for a dimly lit street. Would not it be easier to advertise in the classifieds and avoid wasting energy, even so would give them some privacy for the van monsters to murder. "
William the Bloody, aka Spike, currently unable to attack humans, biting or killing them accordingly dedicated to kill demons approached the man in question above after having put the monster that attacked him. His gaze fell
in the open box of donuts on the floor. His curiosity became surprised to note that they were covered in blood. He looked to human eyes and had noticed the wound in his side. Surely Blood was splattered over there because the blood of the monster was too blue to be confused with that other ... so the contrasting red and sweet white powder.
Without thinking too took the donut, dip it finished on the red liquid and took a bite.
"Mhhh ... sweet." The man moved a little complaining. He knew he would have to follow through the hospital to heal the wound but at that time nothing could have distracted the sweet taste that had long failed to prove.
"Spike?" The aforementioned opened her eyes to his utter surprise and horror he discovered that he knew the man who was lying on the pavement.
"Harris?" The Brown put his hand to his throat and then slowly brought it to the wound. Picked up a couple of fingers in greeting from their position on the floor.
"Present."
And Spike began to spit what was left in the mouth.
*******
finished sewing nurses, drugged, he was cured, packaged it and gave it back to Spike. As a Christmas gift.
"Harris, you want to call someone? Perhaps anyone in Sunnydale?" The man shook his distracted gaze. "What're you doing here?" The city is not for someone like you Harris. "
" The company moved me. I've been living here for a couple of weeks. "Xander's voice was felt that would soon fall paid regardless of whether or not Spike kept him standing.
"Where are you staying?"
Xander explained as best she could, rolling his eyes and almost asleep when Spike placed it in the back seat of a taxi. That the vampire searched it and found his wallet and keys. When they reached the seventh floor of the building Spike had to toss a couple of times to invite him to come and so being able to help get to the room.
course not mentioned that he had used his wallet to pay for the taxi and that it had been the first sign of life finally smiled at Harris. He preferred to let it rest while he threw an eye to the place.
The apartment was not something from another world but it was comfortable. Better by far to the basement where he had lived when he was with his parents but not better than the apartment she had when she lived with Anya.
The decor and furniture were probably part of the rent because the harmony was evident, which doubted that Xander could achieve with his own sense of harmony. The colors were too light, a dark beige dominated the Most of the furniture while a half beige colored walls. The usual white wooden valance looked pretty decent. To his surprise collection of small kitchen was clean, the fridge, unlike they had used in the basement contained a decent amount of food as well as cupboards. Without thinking too picked up a box of cereal wheat and sugar caster began to eat while finishing his round.
The bathroom was clean, the room had already seen. The living room had a television and a basic system for movies. Reviewed the small collection while watching what channels were available.
However, personal details were scarce, it suggested that perhaps only very recently that Xander had moved or maybe not spent too much time in your apartment.
"I see that life is smiling on you, Harris." He said in a distracted before returning to the room, leaving the grain where he found, tightly closed. The dark sleep peacefully, as if there is another danger in the world apart from the pillow wet with saliva. Spike cocked his head slightly and let out a sound of disgust. He
paper bag with the drugs they had given in the emergency room on the bedside table and turned to leave. There was only an hour before sunrise.
He made sure to seal the apartment before leaving Harris lit a cigarette and shaking his head in disbelief.
"A Scoobie ... here. And not just any Scoobie ... Harris." I knew where it was Xander Harris followed him problems. Evidence of this was what had happened earlier in the evening. She licked unconsciously. Hunger maybe.'d better hurry, always end up doing stupid things when I was hungry. *******
Xander woke with the feeling of marshmallows in your body. Apart from the slight discomfort in his side everything seemed perfect until he looked around the clock.
"Damn!" Cried alarmed to discover that he was late getting up. "Three?" Shouted incredulous to read the clock. He had skipped breakfast and lunch. He tried to sit and pain in his side finally attracted enough attention to finish waking up and trying to remember what had happened the night before. It probed the side, muttered some words and hit the phone. He spoke a few minutes
with the head of construction, he said without much detail would be out a couple of days and finally taking a well deserved bye \u0026lt;i> you feel better \u0026lt;/ i>.
He moved slowly through the house, unsure yet of the events of last night. He remembered having gone out to buy donuts, remember they were freshly baked and after that everything was stupidly strange.
"Spike." The name was like a thorn in his mouth, but Xander was sure that Spike had been there beside him in the emergency room in a taxi and the apartment door. Barely fragments but Spike was definitely there in your home. Proof of this may include drugs alongside his night table and the fact that someone had to be guided to the bed, otherwise probably would not reached or the couch.
a sandwich was prepared, poured a glass of juice, took drugs and by six was back in the seventh dream. It was not until late in the night he woke up feeling it was observed.
For a moment or thought he saw nothing unusual in his room as he rubbed his eyes slowly and almost went back to sleep.
"Being so confident is what makes you easy prey, Harris. But Buffy never had much time to teach, his theory was to keep them away. Tonto, especially when the problems seem to follow him everywhere. including California. "
" Spike. "
smiled at the confusion in the face of the dark. I knew that none of the known Scobbie their reintegration into the world of living near or rather, the vampire with a soul, club two members which was not so proud to belong.
"The same. What does a puppy like you so far from its lair?"
"You were here last night." He said sitting up in bed. "How is that ..." She smiled slightly and shook his head. I had to ask how was that platinum had entered his vampire apartment. Spike almost always got what he wanted from him.
The blonde approached him and could not help but try to go back. How the vampire had survived the destruction of the school and how it was that was in California ...? Maybe I had already found a way to remove the chip.
"Is something bad? "Spike leaned closer and smiled cruelly." Am I afraid, Harris? do well ... and I have no chip. "He smiled widely when he saw how dark it shudder. It was so easy to manipulate.
"You do not have the chip?" Xander clenched his fists on the bed, stiff as a bow, eyes looking all routes of escape and finding none. Breathed deeply. When all seemed lost could rely on his black sense of humor. "Do not you even a little bit the chip? "
Spike stopped in front of you and put his hands on either side of her hips actually invading their personal space." Zero ... finite ... all out ... I could bite you right now if I wanted. "
"But do not feel like, right? mean ... ... I have high cholesterol, high blood sugar ... I have too high pressure are all desirable conditions nothing ..." Spike was delighted at the way the dark trying to go back babbling incoherence increasingly absurd. "And ... if you bite me ... if you bite me ... certainly sticks with you my bad luck. "
" Bad luck? "said arching an eyebrow as the head tilted as if you were positioned correctly to bite." I see you have bad luck. have a apartment, have a job. Maybe it hit me how silly but silly creatures have bitten you and look at me ... "
" Yes, but ... but ... my foolishness is special. "He concluded with a strange little cry to feel that the vampire was a shirt with the hand he had slept and breathed on his neck. "You do not want to transfer you through my blood ... "Xander swallowed fat and closed his eyes to hear the unmistakable sound of bones relocated in the face of the vampire.
"You know ... that almost makes me regret." A deep laugh and a sigh. "Almost. I have hunger and I have no courage to pursue human tonight. Why leave if I have a sandwich fair to me? "He put a hand on his tan chest and pushed him gently toward the bed. A faint cry of panic was the answer but nothing more. He moved away slightly and looked at him containing the urge to laugh as his face returned to his human form. "Harris, if you open your eyes no joke."
"Shhh ... I try to concentrate."
"Concentrate?" The dark nodded, eyes still closed.
"Yes, they say that when you are about to die life passes before your eyes." The dark frown was highly concentrated. "But I can not see anything yet." Spike passed restraining work to keep from laughing out loud.
"It's not like you have a life very interesting. "I said mockingly.
"It's my life! There must be something! I grew up in Sunnydale, the mouth of hell! That should count for something." Exclaimed the brunette finally open their eyes and noticing the smile mocking was now a vampire. "What?"
"Harris, if your life depended on your ability to think logically had not reached puberty. That's the only thing that makes me think that your survival in Sunnydale has to be one of those unsolvable mysteries unless it involves the fate and its strange quirks. "
" Ja ... ja ... "muttered the dark still nervous while bringing attention to what instinct told her terrified was fixed better in the vampire." Hey ... you are thinner than memory. "This time it was the turn of the blonde frowned." That means that even as you should not feed you ... I mean ... "
" Since when you look at my weight, Harris? " Brown met the nerves necessary to push beyond their personal space and the vampire smiled mockingly.
"You helped me last night, took me to hospital and brought me to my apartment. I even left the medicines. She is still the chip. Why do I say no?" You try me a heart ... "The vampire raised an eyebrow fun." No ... scratch that. If you wanted to give me a heart attack. "I said, accusing look. It slightly under clothing and rose from the bed ignoring the laughter of the fair to go to the kitchen.
"Even I have the chip. Happy?"
"Yes. Also that means I can hit you for trying to deceive. "
" Typical Sunnydale. All resolved with blows. "The Brown lifted a finger in a threatening manner.
"And do not forget the stakes ... and axes and swords ... ..."
"It's nice to remember the old days." He shrugged his shoulders and following him into the kitchen to see how he prepared a turkey sandwich. "Tell me, Harris. What were you thinking when you decided to leave your apartment to visit that area of town?" The Brown shrugged shoulders.
"I wanted to eat donuts." Spike could not help recalling the incident with donuts and shuddered involuntarily, feeling the urge to brush your mouth for the umpteenth time. "Did not you see them ..." The dark made a vague gesture with his hand and the vampire denied making the face of Xander falter in courage. "Sure the monster ate them. Do not know what kind was it?"
"I did not look too . looks like beef, not supposed to be so aggressive. But I think it is your personal charm. "
" Very funny. "By the way, what you do in California? Of all the places to come back ever thought that you would like to be too close to the dead boy."
"Angel? Do you know that now owns Wolfram and Hart? "
" Angel Investigations. Yes, Buffy mentioned something about that. "It was unbelievable how fast the dark could assimilate that Spike was alive, have felt threatened by the vampire and the fact that the vampire was still in his apartment. Then prepare the sandwich got a beer and threw it to Spike that caught in the air. He took one for herself and moved to the room where the sandwich was dropped on the couch and turned on the TV. "Are you now?
not very fond memories came to mind Spike, especially those where he had spent the night attached to the reclining chair in the basement of the parents of Harris. However, they appeared to have been a lifetime ago.
"Say I'm slightly associated."
"With Angel? Now that's a surprise."
"It's my ... you know ... family and everything."
"Gahh ... that it is unpleasant. "He did a show in shake as if he had been most unpleasant in the world." However ... that does not explain why you're still in my apartment. "
" Rude. "Not even going to thank me? "
" Thank you. Already duly recognized so I can go. "The sound of the phone distracted from the pleasant chat. Spike approached in addition to answering machine but stopped before touching and giving a look at the dark. Xander shrugged and proceeded to answer blond.
"Hello?" Spike heard a few seconds and turned to face the dark. "Do you know a certain Jack?" The blonde approached the sofa.
"Jack," I forgot that I would leave today. "Spike raised an eyebrow." You know, to take us a few beers, distract from work ... "Given the persistent blond blue eyes gave Xander a snort. "I have no need to explain!"
"Of course, Little Red Riding Hood. Especially when you're not able to get out."
"Spike, give me the phone. Spike!"
"Jack? Sorry but Xander is unwell and can not come to the phone. But you can call tomorrow."
"Spike Give me the damn phone. "Xander was up and tried to remove the headset effortlessly vampire who made him aside with his hand as he continued talking.
"A message?" I'm secretary, call tomorrow. "What?" How dare you! "Furious Spike disconnected the call. "Bastard. Go you spend friends, Harris."
"Jack is not my friend ... my ..."
"You what?"
"Well ... ... more than a friend ... this. .. someone I'd like to go ... Need more than a friend? "
" Harris ... "Spike muttered the dark so seriously that he stepped back." Are you telling me that bastard is just call your love interest? "
"Well ... not so many words." I replied with a look between innocent and hesitant. "So ... it's not anything official for the moment ..."
"Since when?" Spike took a step forward as Xander gave one back.
"Spike ... you're scaring me."
"I have the chip, you need not be afraid of me ... Harris."
"You're right ... you are quite right. I have no fear 'Cause you do I have to tell you anything .
"What scares you is that you are not even able to throw me out of your apartment." The Brown took one look up and down across compulsively arms before putting their hands in their pockets, take them out again and look at all parts in a sequence that Spike knew by heart. "Hey, Harris, quiet. I'm not here to torture you or anything style. just wanted to make sure you were well and remember that although this is not Sunnydale also has its nocturnal wildlife. "
" What are you now? Night watchman, too? "muttered angry and embarrassed.
"may not be the vampire who used to be ... but that does not mean I am a box of goodness ..." Hissed with venom. "Do not forget." A couple of knocks on the door stopped the competition looks angry and Spike, without prompting, he went to the door and burst open. "What? "
A young, brown hair and eyes slightly oxygenated intense green gave him a glare from the other side of the door. Do not answer, but looked over his shoulder to where Xander.
"Jack!" Xander exclaimed with something approaching relief where it was Spike and pulling the middle with a tug at his collar. "I was just about to call." He mumbled a bit embarrassed. The question has not showed signs of improving your mood and also kept looking at Spike.
"Is it that you're indisposed?"
"No ... no ... it's just that ..."
"Xander was attacked last night while buying some donuts." Spike said with derision and Xander gave her a tired look . The blond at the door immediately softened her face and entered the apartment, closing the door.
"Is it true, Xan?" Asked a little worried and Brown agreed.
"Yes ... Spike was passing. He took me to hospital. "
" Why do not you call me? "
" For just woke up, genius. "Spike growled from where he was watching the scene with disgust.
"Spike ... I deeply appreciate your concern but you'd better go." The vampire squinted, cocked his head and smirked finally looking first at Jack and then Xander.
"Xan Sure .... But do not get sleepless nights too." He came out slamming the door and Xander sighed with relief.
"Sorry, Jack. I must warn you as I could. "
" No problem, Xan. What worries me is your friend. "
" Spike is not my friend. "
" Spike ... clear. But was he who helped you. "
" We know. He lived in Sunnydale for a while but we were never friends, only acquaintances. Sometimes I was in the group but it was because he was behind Buffy. "
"Ah, Buffy. Your friends from Sunnydale. Have you heard of them?"
"Willow called me yesterday. He said he was worried about me. I think I'll call later. "At the mention of the name of his friend Jack tensed slightly but Xander did not even acknowledge. With Jack walked unsteadily the dark, even more obvious concern.
"And you do you feel?"
"All right. A little bruised, nothing more. Tomorrow I will be better." The blonde looked at the couch and saw the half-eaten sandwich and gave a long sigh.
"Well, I guess we can go another day. Ends to eat and rest. "He took a few steps toward the door.
"What do you do?" The blonde shrugged.
"Not much. I go back to the apartment, I'll see if some work ahead."
"Jack ... I'm sorry, really."
"No, not your fault. You just improve yourself soon. Do not think you forget what you owe me. "Xander smiled slightly and said goodbye to Jack, leaving him alone.
The blond had just a few steps outside the room where Xander felt that they took it by the neck and pushed him against the wall.
"I thought so." He heard him whisper. "You're not human." Spike growled, his face completely changed. The blond grabbed his wrist and pressed with superhuman strength.
"neither are you, bloodsucker." Pupils in the eyes of Jack became ragged and her green eyes shone brightly. Spike could feel when the jaws were embedded in his wrist but did not let go.
"What do you intend to do with Harris?"
"That none of your business. You're not his friend. "
" Of course it concerns me, though not his friend. I've protected this Scoobie more times than I care to remember. "The young man stopped squirming and pressure suddenly fell on his wrist.
"You are the vampire with the chip." Spike said suddenly and could not avoid hitting the wall. "Hey, I was called by the witch, to protect it." As he said one of its legs up easily to the chest of Spike and managed to push against the opposite side of the aisle. growled angrily and tried to hit again but the boy was too elusive, however, vampire Spike was not being seen easily face and after a couple of tries could corner him again.
"You were called, Willow?" He nodded with difficulty. Spike squeezed her neck a little doing to open his mouth. A sharp teeth were to be seen, but not the kind of fangs belonged to a vampire, rather something generic. "What kind of creature are you?" do not remember seeing anything like that. "
" I have to answer for that. " The blond hissed angrily.
"No, but it could help." She watched him carefully. "I think Willow was wrong to call to protect Harris. You're so strong ..." A later hiss and a slight stinging in his chest did shut up. Jack was several meters away and not even his vampire senses had picked the time had come loose and had attacked him.
Jack panted, her green eyes shining bright in a defensive posture. Something blond legs after moving from side to side like a pendulum. No, not how a pendulum is fixed, like a tail. He listened and smiled slightly. A long tail and furry tail whose tip was moving from side to side. Spike knew he could trust at the time that tail stopped moving, Jack would attack. But could not help but comment. "So you're not a natural blonde." offended Jack snorted. "I thought so." And was that the tail coat was a glossy chocolate brown.
"Color is not what matters."
"I wonder if Harris is suspicious of you. With its history and reputation, and should have smelled the hoax. But Xander is still a puppy ignorant. "Jack hissed at the mention of the canine and Spike smiled mockingly.
"Even though I know it's not like I could go." The blonde growled angrily.
"Heh, yeah, I guess that little redhead would ensure you could not just leave it. That's why I wonder where were you last night when she was attacked." Jack took a step back to see how the vampire moved in his direction and decided it was best to begin to provide answers before leaving more hurt than it already was.
"Xan is not easy to maintain. It's like having ..."
"A magnet for trouble." Spike completed. "I know. So that means you're still recovering from last attack. "The blonde nodded reluctantly." You know what I would have made the redhead had I not been there? "Seeing the thrill and fluffy tail Spike smiled." Of course you do. So you better not make me angry too. I know the redhead. "To his surprise, the blonde turned and started walking down the hall." Hey, Where you going? "
" I'm tired In fact, I'm sick, not only to be treated like dirt by the witch and the vampire killer but for all the beasts and creatures that attack my order. I can not give up but I have no rights.'m done! "A few seconds later Spike blinked confused because instead of following the fair was a chocolate-colored cat. quickened his pace and reached the cat snatching soil.
"Where you going?" He exclaimed, frowning. The cat squirmed for a few minutes but then he was paying but his little body remained rigid. I got up to eye level and the animal made a furious yowl. "One of two. Or you can control your body when you get angry or you're too weak." The cat blinked boring. "I think the second ... if you can not control you when you're angry you would be a poor choice as guardian. Want some tuna? " The cat, if she could, has released a growl, but do not growl like cats merely give you a glare that made the vampire laugh hard. *******
Xander awoke again with the feeling that someone was watching. The night before, after Jack left his room, he had done exactly what he had asked the blond. ; He stretched on the bed a bit, testing the wound in his side and finally stood up on his elbows to look around. A blonde head watching him.
"Spike!" Cried covering her with blankets. "What are you doing here?" I told you you were. "
" And I went, but I'm back. "He looked at him with dark suspicion until he felt that Spike was holding on his lap.
"What's that?"
"A cat. Are you allergic to cats?" The dark eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"What do you do with a cat? Are you animal lover or what?"
"I'm just a lover of warm-blooded creatures." He whispered with a smile wolfish as he stroked the animal's fur that seemed to be so comfortable.
"I do not think like you."
"not like me."
"Why do you then?"
"I met him. It's a bum."
"Oh ... brings memories then. "
" Very funny. But if it bothers you so much ... "Not too many vampire ruthlessly threw the cat that landed on his chest with a slight hiss and claws out.
"Aahh! Take it away!"
About ten minutes later, the animal quietly purring on the lap of the tan.
"Spike, where did you find?"
"I told you, out there."
"Well at least you should have reviewed. Has a couple of injuries." The vampire approached with curiosity and saw in fact, the animal had a couple of fairly recent wounds close to the chest and abdomen. The continued reviewing brown while the animal is left to do. "color is a rather peculiar, is not it?"
" It is a keuda. "
" A what? "
"A keuda, race, you know."
"You said it was a bum."
"That bum is not mean it has no pedigree."
"At least I like much better than some homeless people I know. "muttered between his teeth the dark making Spike gave him an angry look. 74
