Thread: Wishverse Revisited (Annika and Google)

RE Wishverse Revisited This town still had one hell of a vampire presence, Spike could practically feel the fear and dread of the people behind every closed door that he passed. Humans never ceased to amaze him in the lengths that they would go too in order to deny what was right in front of their eyes. This entire town had become a haven for vampires and unless his nose was lying too him, more then a few other things that liked to go bump in the night and prey on the walking talking snacks that were humans. Really he had no idea where he was heading as he walked through the empty streets, flickering streetlights providing more then enough illumination too him as his eyes were much better adapted to the dark then any humans. There was movement all around him though, more then just the quick and shaky movements of a human peeking through their blinds to see if the night that they would be taken had come, but also it seemed that he had picked up a tail of a few vampires. They were clearly new too life after death, their ability to stalk him without being noticed was almost laughable to a vampire with more then a century of experience. He hadn't done anything yet inside of the town limits to attract attention so it stood to reason that they had been watching him since he first arrived at the outskirts and took down the sign welcoming him to the town. Anyone else might have been annoyed by the tail, or at the very least try too loose them but Spike welcomed it, he had no idea what the current set up in the town was and a little information from a local would be a welcome thing to him. With a grin he doubted they would be able to see from their vantage point behind him Spike took a deep and long gulp from the bottle of whiskey that he carried and continued to amble along until he saw a place that would suit his purposes. Almost at random he turned down a dark alley, as soon as he was out of sight of his pursuers he took up position near the mouth of the alley and within moments he was rewarded as three vampires barreled into the alley after him, the first through met with his bottle to their face and the second had his head smacked roughly into a dumpster with enough force to leave a noticeable dent and rang out like a bell in the night. The third one, a shorter man with dark hair that hadn't been washed in some time only remained unharmed because Spike needed one of them still conscious for a few questioned to be asked. That vampire tried to take a swing at him only to have his arm broken just below the elbow and after taking a moment to grind the bones together nastily Spike started to ask his questions. Occasionally a question was met with some resistance, this resistance was broken along with several fingers just to get the point across... he was not in the mood to be lied too, he did not feel like fucking around all night just go get a few simple answers... It took a little time but he soon had the layout of Sunnydale down as well as the political lay out. He learned that the Master was indeed dead, that the Slayer had died, and that Angelus had been there... done the Slayer in... only to be dragged down by a few local humans who managed to get lucky. Apparently Angelus had been like a wild animal, the vampire he was questioning had seen him, covered in burns and Spike suspected he had crossed the Master. None of that really mattered though, what mattered was that a young Vampire by the name of Willow was running the town. She hadn't been a vampire for very long and yet she had been one of the Master's favored servants when he was still around... word was that she had a sadistic nature that brought even the nastier vampires under sway rather then cross her. That information was also accompanied with where he might be able to find her, a mansion that she had been given not all that far away. With a smirk of amusement he quickly dashed his useful informant against a wall and left him slumped in the alley, if this was the quality of vampire that worked for this Willow then Spike wouldn't have much trouble establishing his dominance in this town... settle down for a bit until a new Slayer came for him or until he heard of a new Slayer active in the world, either way he was going to get his third Slayer and establish himself as the nastiest vampire walking the Earth. Following the careful directions that he had been given Spike made his way towards the mansion, though on his way there he took a moment to slake his thirst, tearing the throat out of a perky big titted blonde who was out far too late for her own safety and feeding messily, not even bothering to clean his face once it reverted to its more human appearance, blood still dripping down his chin... he did want to make an impression after all, if the head vampire here hadn't heard of him then he would need to let her know that he wasn't someone she should fuck with. The trip took only a few minutes before he was standing before the broken down mansion that she had made her home. It wasn't that bad of a place all considered, as long as he had a roof over his head and some cable TV to pass the daylight hours away Spike was a rather happy vampire... someone had even recently introduced him to X-Box which was a great way to kill time when even going outside could end up causing him to experience a terminal sunburn. So long as he could get some wiring working in this place it would make a great place for him, better then the Crypts that Drusilla had always favored. With a swagger in his step and a good amount of blood still showing in his teeth with the grin that he wore Spike stomped up the stairs of the mansion, not even bothering to knock as he kicked the door in, a first impression of course was a vastly important thing.
