Previously….
Little did she know that her show had one attendee…
and his name was Spike.
“Holy fuck!” He thought. “She was that turned on by me? God I’m a bleeding idiot for leaving.” Spike did the right thing leaving but the raging hard on in his pants showed otherwise.
“Don’t worry pet… we’ll be buggering soon enough.” He adjusted himself painfully. “I just hope it’s bloody soon.”
*^*^*^*^*
A couple of weeks have passed by and Lily needed something to keep her busy. A job or a hobby at least, but a job would be a better option. So she decided to go job hunting… she went to the Bronze, the grocery store, coffee shop, Doublemeat Palace but her last stop was the Magic Shop.
She never believed in magic before, until she discovered what she really was. After that, anything was possible; including werewolves, demons and of course magic.
Lily walked about the store just to get a feel of the place; an older woman walked right up to her and said, “Welcome to the Magic Shop, my name is Anya. How can I service you?”
“Um hi, I was wondering by chance if you were hiring.” Lily asked kindly.
“I work here and we don’t need anyone else so you can just leave.” The way she said wasn’t obnoxious but was very rude in the sweetest manner. Before she could say anything else and older gentlemen stepped out from a backroom, overhearing Anya’s response.
“Anya, that was very rude.” Then he turned to Lily. “I’m terribly sorry; she doesn’t mean to be rude that’s just the way she is. My name is Rupert Giles, I’m the owner and to answer your question. It’s yes; we need some extra hands around here.”
“Great. I don’t have job experience but I’m a quick learner and I do everything a hundred and ten percent.” Lily couldn’t help but smile; he seemed like a real nice guy. And the accent did help, kind of reminded her of Spike.
“What is your name my dear?” Giles asked.
“Lily. Lily Jamison. I’m new in town, I haven’t been here long but I really like it.”
“Well Lily, how about you start tomorrow? Anya has some prier engagements and an extra hand would be nice. I’ll teach all I can and when Anya comes back she’ll be able to train you as well.”
Anya didn’t look so happy about that. “Giles! I don’t need any help, no offense tiny girl.”
Lily wasn’t tiny, she was normal sized… at least she thought she was.
“It’s fine Mr. Giles, if I’m not needed it’s okay.” She was just about to head out the door, Giles stopped her gently.
“Lily, you are needed. Anya will just have to deal with the changes; I’m the manager so I make the final decisions. Welcome to Magic Shop.” Giles pulled out his hand to shake hers, she shakes his with enthusiasm.
“Thank you so much Mr. Giles you won’t be disappointed.”
“Oh please, just Giles. Mister is too formal.”
“Even for an Englishman?”
“Well, honestly it makes me feel older so calling me Giles makes it easier.”
“Oh Giles, you’re not a day over 40.” Lily liked to flatter people, especially when she tries to make to friends.
“Well Lily, flattery will get you everywhere in this town. Especially with me.”
Anya looked rather flustered. “Giles, I’m cutting my shift short today. You don’t need me since it’s so slow, now if you’ll excuse me. I’m going home for many orgasms.”
“Wow.” Lily exclaimed. “She’s very blunt isn’t she?” Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them off. They seemed to have fogged a little.
“Yes well, Anya really has no restraint when it comes to telling what’s on her mind.”
“So, are you sure you don’t need me now?” Giles looked around the store and how barren it was.
“Maybe not out front quiet yet but you could do reorganizing in our basement. Lord knows the inventory is bloody awful.”
“Sure… I love to organize. Just give me a list and I’ll get it done.”
“Lily, I think this work relationship will grow famously.” She couldn’t help but smile. After Giles gave her the list, she headed down. It was a mess; crates, boxes and jars spread out everywhere and most of them had faded labels.
First thing on the list were a label maker and lots of cleaning supplies. Dust and everything else dirty came to die here, Lily could tell that much just from the look of it all.
She started moving boxes to make room when heard a rustling behind the shelves close to the stairs. Lily listened harder, kicking her other senses into high gear; there was no other heart except her own… it had to be a vampire.
She knew it was coming up behind her; thank god she always hid a stake under shirt. Before it could touch her shoulder, she spinned around pushing the vampire to the floor and straddling it to keep it immobile.
“Bloody Hell!” the vampire exclaimed. Holy shit it was Spike. Lily looked down at him with a stake right above his heart and a look of confusion on his face. “Is that how you greet all your friends pet?”
“Only the ones that like to scare me.” She was sitting on his waist, she moved the stake to the floor next to them but keeping it close by.
“Why do you have a stake love? Afraid of big bad vampires?” Spike smirked. He had the feeling she knew all along what he was but needed proof, and there it was on floor next to them.
“It’s Sunnydale Spike, this town is crawling with them. You should know that yourself… you’re one too.” Before she could move off him, he flipped her over; pinning her arms above her head with full gameface on.
“Well well, look who’s the smart one. What are you, another Slayer like that last bitch Faith?”
“Who’s Faith? Wait, to answer your first part; no I’m not a Slayer and two, I didn’t know there were two Slayers.”
“If you’re not a Slayer, then what are you?” He decided to investigate by smelling her. Vampires could tell a lot about a person just by their scent; that’s how they know which the best next meal is. “Witch, demon, mutant, some military experiment?”
Lily struggled to break his hold but to no prevail. The feeling of him on top of her was making her feel so alive. Just like that night after he left.
“I’m not a freak, and I don’t like being treated like a monster. I just want to be normal.” She was getting upset and Spike noticed. He went back to his human features and just stared at her.
“You must not be normal then pet; most people who aren’t want to be.” He released her arms slowly and sat on her waist so she couldn’t get away so easily.
“You really want to know? I’ll tell you… but not here.” She finally shoved him off and straightened herself out. “I’m at work and I don’t want Giles knowing who and what I am either but you have to know; come by my place later tonight, at a less flammable part of the day and I’ll tell you.”
“You better not be running off, because I’ll find you and make you tell me. And I won’t be so nice about it, that I can promise.” A shiver ran down her spine… Spike disappeared so quick she didn’t which way he went.
“This is first, only and last time you try to make friends with a vampire.” She told herself. Lily didn’t know what to expect from Spike but she would be prepared; willing to fight but afraid to get hurt.
*^*^*^*^*
A couple hours later, Giles sent Lily home feeling amazing. Until she remembered her ‘date’ with Spike, she didn’t know how he was going to react.
She didn’t know how well this was going to go but it was already past sunset and she knew Spike would be out and about.
Lily got to her place with no real surprise that Spike was standing in front of the door. She walked up to him and he just smiled so smugly.
“Well pet, I see you weren’t too afraid to come back and face me.”
“Why should I be afraid to come back to my home? Unless you have an evil agenda?”
Spike smirked, his tongue curled behind his teeth. “Not yet love, in order to hurt you I have to know what you are.”
“What I am doesn’t make me who I am, it’s just blood.” She pushed him out her doorway and walked inside; Spike quickly followed.
“So pet, what’s your story? How far does the evil blood run in your family?” He chuckled.
“I’m not evil! But… my father was… is, he’s one of your kind. An evil bloodsucker who only wants to feed, kill and destroy everything in their path.”
“Well who is this bloke? He sounds like a blast; who knows, I might have killed a few people with him.” He laughed lightly.
“This isn’t funny! He took advantage of my mom’s kindness and she’ll never forgive herself for what she had to hide from me! The day I meet Angelus, I swear he’s getting a piece of my mind… and fists.”
After the word ‘Angelus’, Spike wasn’t listening anymore. His sire… HIS SIRE had a child with a human, how is that even possible.
“I’m sick of being this freak Spike! I just want to be normal and not have to worry about hurting someone.”
“You’re part vampire pet, hurting people is part of the package. I’m a whole vampire and when I drink form someone; it’s like getting high and having the best shag of your life.”
“No! I hate it, I’ve never wanted to feed on people; I only did it when I had too. I hate my life and I hate being like this Spike.”
“I can show you how to love it; being a vampire is a primal, sensual and it consumes you all the way to your core. Let me show you baby, the darkness is nothing you need to fear.” He tried to comfort her but she pushed away. Locking herself in the bathroom; he could smell the tears from behind the door.
“I just want answers Spike… I don’t want to be someone’s plaything; especially not yours.”
“Oye… you’re not a plaything; you’re a human being with a part of yourself that you don’t understand but I can help you with that. I just want to help you Lily, I can get you answers.” She didn’t answer him, she just kept crying. There was only thing he could say to make her listen, so he said it. “I know where to find Angelus.”
Lily’s heart skipped a beat. She opens the bathroom door and pinned him against the wall; her hand around his through and her eyes glowing. Her eyes weren’t yellow like regular vampires; hers were more like a neon blue, Spike had never seen such beautiful eyes.
“Where?” That was all she asked, but Spike just laughed as she tightened her grip on his throat.
“No need to breathe love, so squeeze all you want. Although, I do have a thing about it during… you know.”
“Ugh… Spike this is not the time. You said you know where to find Angelus and I want to know how?” She loosened her grip from his throat and let him go. Her eyes faded back to her regular baby blue eyes. Spike could swim in those eyes.
“Yeah I do… but what do I get for it? I’m not giving you valuable information without getting something in return.”
He smiled so viciously and yet she couldn’t help but smile on the inside. He couldn’t help but ooze charm.
“I don’t really have anything Spike… nothing of value anyway. I came here with I needed and I don’t have much. But, what can I do to get some answers? I’ll do anything… even if it’s something I don’t want to do.”
Spike was so tempted to ask for what he really wanted… her. Wrapped in silk, or chains, in his bed to do and please him in every way but he couldn’t do it. He was man and a monster but not a rapist… that was Angelus’ gig. So, he decided to ask for the next best thing.
“I want to live here… with you. I have a shitty place, a crypt actually and your apartment is big enough for two. Also, I need blood, and not any kind of animal, I want human. You can make a deal with a few blokes who work at the hospital. Not for too much dosh but just enough to now its good quality. So, how about it pet? You want the q and a’s or what?”
“Fine… it’s not unreasonable but it’s doable. But you have to sleep out here in the living room. The one and only bedroom is mine and if you want to come in my room, you have to knock first or get my permission. Got it?”
“Fine with me luv… but what about my blood?”
“I’ll buy you blood too but there will be some animal blood and normal food in the fridge which will be mine. If you want any you ask and if I want something of yours I’ll ask. I’m weaning myself off of human blood so you won’t have to worry about that.”
“Bollocks… I was hoping we could share a good o-positive.” He said it very sarcastically… what a pratt.
“One more thing… I do not want to see any naked Spike around the house. When you go to sleep and are under your blankets that’s fine but when we’re both up you need to have shorts or pants on. I’m still not completely okay with this but I want answers. We got a deal?” She put her hand out for a shake to complete their deal.
“Deal pet. This is going to a bloody revelation; I’ll be the best flat mate in the world.” That smile was oozing charm and sarcasm but she couldn’t help but smile.
“So… where do we find Angelus?”
