A few days later Lena was walking through the park when she felt a presence behind her. “ You know, stalking is illegal in all fifty states. Not that you'd care, seeing as your un-dead and all. Why don't you just show yourself like the good little demon you are so we can fight and I can kill your evil ass.”
Spike stepped out holding his hands up in surrender. “ Easy there kitten. I didn't come 'ere to fight you.” She crossed her arms in annoyance. “ Yea well what do you want? Did you come her to annoy the hell outta me? I'd be careful if I were you. I haven't seen a vampire all night and I'm just itching for a good fight.
“ Oh really? The lil' bit wants to fight the big bad. Think you can take me do you?” He asked stepping closer to her. “ I know I can.” They stared at each other intently, each willing the other to back down or throw the first punch.
Finally Spike broke away. “ Some other time pet. Like I said I didn't come 'ere to fight you.” “ Why are you here then?” “ I came to 'poligize fer the other night. You were right it's none of my business how you live your life. I'm sorry if I made you mad.” “ You're damn right it's none of your business! You really pissed me off you know. I had half a mind to hunt you down and kill you!”
Ok so she was lying about the wanting to kill him part but he didn't need to know that. “ Ok ok I'm sorry. Think you can forgive me.” She stared at him for a few minutes trying to decide if she should. On one hand he did piss her off but on another it would be good to have a friend that knew what she did. “ I think I could do that.” She linked her arm through his. “ Come on Spikey, Walk a girl home.”
They walked in silence for a while before Lena spoke up. “ So Spike what the hell brought you to Florida?” He looked at her and wondered how much he should tell her. “ Nothing much. Jus' traveling really. I don't stay in a city for more 'en a week. Two at the most. But something told me to come here and here I am.”
“ Wow. I've always wanted to see the world but with this slayer gig the chances of that are probably slim to none.” “ Speakin' of slaying, who's your watcher?” “ I don't have one.” “ But I thought all Slayers were supposedta have a watcher?” “ Yea well not me. Too many Indians not enough chiefs. I have been trained though. This guy named Xander found me the summer before my junior year in high school and told me I'd been called as a slayer. One of hundreds it seems.”
“ Wait Xander? As in Xander Harris?” “ Yea you know him?” Spike realized he had revealed too much. “ Not really. I met him a few times in passing but thats about it.” Lena studied him for a few minutes. She could tell that once again there was more that he wasn't telling her.
“ You were saying love?” “ Oh umm...when I first met Xan I told him I was too busy with school and ...other things to slay. He left me his number in case I changed my mind. I told him that it was highly unlikely that I would. Then in the middle of my senior year I called and told him I wanted to be a slayer. “ What changed yer mind?”
She paused for a moment and tried to decide what to tell him. She sure as hell couldn't tell about how learning she was pretty much invincible made her want to do it. If she did then she'd be telling him about the cutting. “ I'm not really sure. I guess...I just wanted to help save the world.” Spike studied her, knowing that once again there was more that she wasn't telling him.
“ So Xan came with two slayers about my age that were in this big battle in Sunnydale and they trained me.” Spike flinched at the mention of Sunnydale and prayed she didn't notice. She didn't. “ Now he visits about three times a month and calls twice a week to see how I am. I guess that would make him my watcher...in a way. Anyways, we're at my building.” “ Right. I guess I'll see you later. She nodded and walked up the stairs. “ Oh hey Spike?” He turned and looked at her. “ I start my patrol in the park at nine.” Spike nodded and smiled as he watched her go inside. He had a feeling that things were about to get very interesting.
