Backfire - Spander Files

“I’m almost sorry that I never got to meet her.”
“Oh, she would have loved you.”
“Yeah?”
“Would have kept you chained up for weeks. Learned your body by biting every
inch of it.” Xander tensed a bit. “Oh, don’t worry. She would have made it good.
Would have had you begging for her teeth.”
“That’s creepy and gross. Imagine me…craving a bite from a vampire. Just
ridiculous.”
Spike laughed. He turned around and pushed Xander back onto the bed, setting the
doll down next to them. He pressed a light kiss onto Xander’s lips before turning
toward the doll.
“What do you think, Miss Edith? He’s pretty, isn’t he?” The doll just laid there,
eyes covered with a thin strip of black cloth, mouth sealed shut. “Yeah. You can’t
have him, though. He’s mine. I’ll turn him one day, then you can meet him. I know
we’ll like his demon. I almost met it last night.”
Xander pushed Spike away and scrambled off the bed. He found his jeans and
struggled into them before turning to look at the vampire.
“We’re not talking about last night. That happened. I know. But I don’t have to
think about it. And as for you turning me…”
Spike waited for a moment for Xander to finish, then got up and put Miss Edith
back on the dresser. “You’re gonna be late for school. Sun’s coming up.”
Xander made a move toward the stairs, but stopped with his back at the vampire
and told him, “I don’t want to die.”
“Everybody dies. You’ll die, Xander. Then it won’t matter anymore.”
Xander continued up the stairs and out of the factory.
