I, Elizabeth Franklin, alone walked the cold dark streets of London, England.
I had no family, no friends. Not anymore. A few weeks ago, i was sitting at a table with my fiancé, Harold, eating turkey and pulling crackers. There was a hammering on the door. Harold went to see what was up. A few minutes later he had not returned, so I walked to the front door. His body was lying on the floor. Two wound marks on his neck. At this time I had know idea what this was. I thought my lover was dead, which he was.
I left the house trying to forget and get the picture of my loved one out of my head. I had no reason to care, no reason to live.
I was walking as I had done for so long when I heard,
"Elizabeth?"
I turned and saw my darling Harold standing there. I ran and embraced him.
"Elizabeth, I have something important to show you. Now, you mustn't be scared" he whispered in my ear. I stepped back.
"I'm not scared, show me!" I said truthfully. He picked me up in his strong arms. He kissed my lips gently, then nuzzled into my neck. I felt something move on his face. I thought he had changed his expression. I was wrong as it seems.
Now I am here, in 2005, in a building called "Wolfram and hart". I don't know why I am here. In my dream a man walked up to me. He had pale skin and chocolaty brown hair. He said three words to me,
"Your Destiny Awaits"
That night in 1874, a few minutes after Harold had sired me he was staked. I was took in by a young man with bleached blond hair. He was called stake or something. What a weird name for a vampire. Oh wait Spike. That was it. Anyway Spike looked after me. I liked him and I thought he liked me. I was just starting to the think that maybe, just maybe, i loved him. Not that I could ,not having a soul. But then a few weeks later, I meet Drusilla. I think she was his girl-friend. Dru seemed, how shall I put this? A bit wrong in the head. One morning i woke up and they had both gone. I had always presumed Dru had staked him and then ran off.
That was until now.
Spike stood in front of me.
"Hi, my name is Spike welcome to Wolfram and hart" He paused and yawned "We help the hopeless. What can I do for ya?"
I stared at him for a few seconds.
"Well" He demanded "Oh have you lost your voice, pet? I'm sorry we only deal with vamps, demons and stuff like that-"
So, I slapped him. The people in the room, I presume his friends, rushed forward to stop me.
"Wait" Shouted Chocolate hair "It's ok, she's a vamp but she has a soul." He turned to me. "It's ok you can carry on beating up and if you don't mind I'll watch!"
"Not at all!" I replied, I could hear my own voice dripping with charm. I didn't know what do say, So I slapped him again with so much force he flew across the room.
"Why did you leave me?" I demanded "You deserted me! You left me all alone! Anything could have happened!" I could feel the tears in my eyes. "I thought... I thought you liked me"
I finally burst into tears. "I thought you were dead. I spent 131 years morneing for you"
***************************************************************************************************************************************
I awoke lying in a bed. Spike was watching over me.
"You're awake pet!" He whispered "Do you remember what happened?"
I thought back, I could remember slapping him,twice. Crying and then everything went black. I explained this to him. He sighed.
"I don't know how to explain this to you, pet. You blacked out. That was 3 months ago. You've been in a coma."
"Oh, Spike!" I burst into tears. "I missed you so much. I thought i'd never see you again!"
"Just calm down and take it easy. A lot of things have changed."
