Spencer was sitting in the corner of King High’s cafeteria. She was having a terrible time. The punch was spikedand everyone she knew was either drunk or not there. Chelsea came over.

Chelsea:"Having a good time?"

Spencer:"Does it show?"

Chelsea:"Come on Spence. Lok. I think I can see Aiden."

Spencer:"Whoopee."

Chelsea:"Go on."

Spencer got up and went over to the tall guy in the black suit. Spencer tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.

Aiden:"SPencer?"

Spencer:"That’s me. It’s good to see you!"

Aiden:"You too! God it’s been so long!"

Spencer:"Yeah. It has…um..just wondering. Have you seen Ashley lately?"

Aiden’s face turned very pale at the mention of Ashley’s name.

Aiden:"Actually. Ashley’s supposed to be here tonight with her master and mistress."

Spencer:"Ren and-"

Aiden:"HUSH! Don’t. Listen Spencer. If you see Ashley here tonight. Do NOT go with her. I overheard some vampires talking about-"

Ashley:"Aiden. You really are no fun. Really. Picking on my friends like you do."

Spencer and Aiden turned around. Ashley was wearing tight black jeans and a tight white t-shirt. Her eyes were glowing dull grey. She looked Spencer up and down with lustful eyes. Spencer could feel sudden wetness at her center. Aiden pushed Spencer behind him abruptly.

Aiden:"I know what you’re up too. Last time I might’ve been stupid but now I will kill you."

Aiden grabbed Ashley’s arm. Spencer kicked him in the shin.

Spencer:"Leave her alone!"

Aiden:"But-"

Ashley:"Come Spencer."

Aiden:"NO ASHLEY DON’T!!"

Ashley already had Spencer halfway out the door. They continued running until they reached a alley.

Spencer:"Where are we Ash?"

Ashley:"I come here almost every night. Spencer…this is where I died Spencer. YOur brother killed me in this very spot.  I remember when I went to your house afterwards. I would’ve told you then but after our encounter you were so sad. I didn’t want to scare you. Besides…I didn’t realize what I was becoming."

Spencer:"Glen didn’t kill you. "

Ashley:"Yes he did. I remember him beating my head up against something hard. Then my ribs cracke,then-"

Spencer:"STOP! You FUCKING LIAR! MY BROTHER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!"

Ashley watched as Spencer began to cry. Her sobs were louder than the rain beating on a nearby trash can lid. Ashley went to her. With her strong arms she wrapped Spencer up and held her as se continued to cry.

Ashley:"You’ve been keeping me alive Spencer. My love for you keps me humane. Spencer. I love you so much. I never want you to leave me."

Ashley licked her lips as Spencer kissed her neck. Ashley pushed her away.

Spencer:"*sniff*..What’s wrong? I thought-"

Ashley turned her head away from Spencer.

Ashley:"Leave Spencer."

Spencer:"Why? I thought you loved me."

Ashley looked at Spencer with eyes of fire. Spencer wanted to be scared but she couldn’t. Ashley spoke her next words with fury and love.

Ashley:"Kill me now Spencer."

Spencer:"What?"

Ashley:"You either kill me or I kil you. I’m trying my best not to do that. Go home Spencer. You have no fear there."

Spencer:"Are you kidding?"

 Ashley:"No Spencer. I love you more than my own life. Maybe I should let Aiden take me…."

Spencer:"No Ashley! I-"

???THERE SHE IS!"

Ashley looked around the alley furiously. Spencer could see people moving around in the shadows.

Spencer:"Ashley what’s-"

Ashley:"GO SPENCER!! LEAVE!!!"

Spencer had no choice but to go. The hissing and growls of the dark night scared her more than Ashley ever would.
