You opened your eyes, taking in a breath.
You had just awoken from being turned by your ex-boyfriend.
It was his revenge for you dumping him.
You were pissed.
You made a grab at him, but he sped away.
You tried to catch him, but you were too new.
You didn't know how.
You instead heard a heartbeat.
A young boy was jogging by himself.
You couldn't help yourself.
You grabbed him and drained him in a few gulps.
You were starving.
You concocted a plan.
You went to all the places your ex used to love and drained everyone, before setting the place on fire.
You would force him out of hiding.
The first place was your school.
Only the janitor, two teachers, and the principal were there.
You killed them and set it alight.
The second place was his favorite store.
You killed all the workers and few customers before setting it aflame, too.
Before you could do anything else, you were grabbed and sped into the woods.
You grabbed whoever had stopped you and threw them.
The tree broke in half.
"Calm down there, love!" he shouted at you.
The guy stood and dusted himself off.
"The name's Spike," he said, holding out his hand.
"You're in my way," you said.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Y/N. What do you want?" you asked.
"What's got you wild, Y/N?" he asked.
"My stupid ex boyfriend decided to make me a vampire. I'm just showing him what a mistake he made," you said.
"You're a newbie?" he asked, "Why'd he turn you?"
"Because I dumped him," you said, "And now I'm a monster."
The emotions you had been avoiding hit you and you almost fell to your knees.
Spike grabbed you and pulled you into a hug as you cried.
"Hey, you're no monster. You can fix this," he said.
"How?" you asked.
"Well, due to a certain bitchy slayer, I can't kill. You can join me. Just, you know, without the pain," he offered.
"Why would you help me?" you asked.
You pulled away and wiped your eyes.
"No one should be alone. Now, the sun'll be coming up soon. You should go to your crypt," he instructed.
"My what?" you asked.
"We have a lot of work to do," he sighed, "Just come with me."
He took your hand and dragged you to a mausoleum.
He laid in a coffin and brought you onto his chest before closing the lid.
You felt tired.
"Thank you, Spike," you whispered, falling asleep.
"Anytime, love," he whispered back, kissing the top of your head.
You both were asleep as the sun came up.
