FM: You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

[iwasfading]

I'd had enough of waiting for people to figure the prophecies out. Had enough of secret meetings on the island that allowed me only a taste of what was truly mine. My girl was becoming more addicted to my teeth ripping at her flesh. She probably was beginning to notice that with each taste she allowed me she was being drawn deeper into the dark

Ouch. I clutched my ribs as we both fell into my bedroom. "Sophia!" I yelled out, looking at her and I hated it for a second. Because I thought I could just play with this, play with her and it wouldn't really mean anything about who I really was. But this was me, Prophecy Girl with half of a soul and the memories of someone else's life. I could see myself reflected in Sophia's dark eyes, they were like midnight as the blunt end of my axe collided with her head so hard I was surprised it didn't crack right open like an eggshell.

She grabbed onto it then, so strong, she was so much stronger than everything that came before and after her. But how strong was I? Still gripping the axe I kicked my legs up in a move that I'd seen one of the slayers at school do, I mirrored it perfect as my feet smashed into her face before I landed on the other side of the axe.

Jerking it out of her hands as she tried to hold onto it I knew I was getting too cocky as I swung the axe down on her hard and she caught the handle of it with one hand. I glared at her for a minute before she ripped it out of my hands and flung it towards the wall.

The sharp end sunk into a picture I'd had framed. It was of me and my brother and it split us right down the middle.

"Sophia, what are you doing?" I asked her angrily right before I felt her fist collide with my face. Okay, seriously ow. I was getting too cocky and I swung out blindly only to end up being tossed face first into the wall.

She was finally trusting some of her instincts. Letting nature take it's course as the slayer in her started to surface. But she wasn't a full slayer. She was something more, something different, and I was way more prepared for what she could do than she was prepared for what I could do.

Jerking the axe away, I slammed it into the wall as hard as I could. She'd have a hell of a time getting it back out now. Punching her hard, she went back a step before throwing a sloppy post. Seeing my chance, I grabbed her arm and twisted it painfully behind her, holding her in place as I slammed her into the wall.

"I'm taking what is mine. I'm making you into what you're meant to be. You should have answered me, Lexi. You had a choice. Now? Now you're going to play it my way."

I pulled her back before slamming her hard face first into the wall again. Then again. I knew she was getting dazed. She wasn't used to this kind of violence. She had danced with darkness without completely diving in.

Letting go of her arm, I pushed her toward the opposite side of the room hard enough for her to bounce off her desk. Lashing out a kick to her knee, I grinned at her as I reached for the knife.

"Come on, baby, show me if you plan to fight or if you are ready to play the fun games. I can make it feel so good. Just the way you like it."

My head was starting to hurt really bad. I was breathing hard by the time she let me go and flung me towards the desk. I leaned heavily against the wall for a minute and looked over at her. Her eyes were drinking me in and they were so different tonight, like I could get lost in them, like this time I was really gonna drown.

I tried to make a quick dash for the door but she was in my way in a flash, pushing me back inside. I stumbled and fell to the floor near my bed because I had my eyes totally locked on her. Quickly I scrambled back up to my feet and took another step forward as she advanced on me. I tried to remember other things, moves I saw my mom, my dad or any of my friends making. I'd killed a couple of vampires here and there before but they were easy, run of the mill vampires. Sophia wasn't anything like them.

"I don't like you like this...." My voice was shaky but demanding all at the same time as I looked at her. "Go back to the way you were before."

I can hear my dad's voice. He's saying please but did he want this? Did it run this deep? Would he have begged Angel to turn him even if he wasn't dying? Would he have wanted the hurt to go that far? I hated thinking about it, and I hated him right in that moment for leaving me all of his crap just running around in my brain! Those were his, not mine!

"Where's my brother?!" I demanded, my voice rising angrily. She said my mom had invited her in well where was she now? She had started to advance on me as I backed up towards the window. I'm not a fighter but I don't wanna die, not even for her and sometimes I thought I would give her anything. I looked up at the cracked picture of me and Tyler before my eyes focused on Sophia again.

"Safe. They're safe, Lexi. I didn't hurt them. I gave you my word." My tone was so soft. So soothing and hypnotic. The tone she ached for before. She'd backed herself into a corner and now it was time to stop with the games. Take what was mine and introduce her to her new life.

There would be an eternity for games later.

"You can see them when you wake up," I promised her. Granted, she might eat them, but what could you do?

Moving across the room like a lioness toward the zebra, I had her pinned to the wall next to the window. "Let's do this properly then." I kissed her cheek, before tossing her away from the wall and on to the bed. I was on her so fast. My thighs clamped down hard against her hips. One hand held her hands above her head, pinning her to where she had slept so safely for so many nights. To where she would take her last breath.

"I love you, Alexia. Look at me." I slapped her hard across the face. "Look at me, baby, I love you and that is why I'm going to be your family forever and ever now." My hand cupped one breast through the material of her shirt as I lunged forward, clamping my thighs harder against her, gripping her wrists hard enough to leave bruises, and sinking my fangs deep into her necks. Cry for me baby. Cry and scream as I kill you because it will make this moment sweeter for both of us.

When I woke up? I was definitely panicking now and it made it harder to focus on her until she slapped me across the face. Then I was forced to stare up at her, finally for the first time feeling real fear rippling through me. I had never been scared of Sophia before. The first time I met her she saved my life and now she was ending it. What about my parents? My brother? They'd be devestated.

The dull throbbing ache in my wrists did little to compare to the sharp sting that was racing down the length of my neck again. This time I could hear her drinking, I could actually hear her and it made me more scared. I felt a few tears roll down my cheek as I looked back at that picture of me and my brother. We were cracked, probably since we'd been born but at least we were always together. What was he gonna do without me?

A sob bubbled up in my throat as the pain started to grow and my vision began to narrow into a black tunnel. I let it loose and yelled, I screamed at the top of my lungs until I couldn't scream anymore as I felt her drain the life out of me. Bucking up from underneath her I tried one last ditch effort to break free but it was too late.

I had stopped screaming and didn't really even have the energy to cry anymore as I watched her slice the skin just above her breast. I couldn't fight her when she propped me up and pressed my mouth against it. Please. Please. Please. I wanted to hold on, but I couldn't. Greedily I drank from her, I drowned in that darkness and then I fell asleep.

The screams ripped right through me. Made me tingle all the way down my spine to the tips of my toes. The tears made the blood sweeter. The smell of fear turned me on in way she couldn't yet imagine. But she would understand one day. One day soon actually. I had to get her some place safe because she would need to feed when she woke up.

I already had her dinner picked out. They were waiting at my beach house. Then I would let her choose where she would go. Would she find her brother and mother and let them out? Or would she go to tell her father?

As much as I wanted to be the one to tell Harry what I'd done to his little princess, it felt better if it was left to Lexi. Let him truly see what his baby had become.

I stroked her hair as she fed from me. Waited until that last breath escaped before I laid her back down and brushed the tears and blood away. I kissed her eyes closed and then carried her out of the room and down the stairs. On my way out of the house, I stopped at the basement door and pondered telling them the truth. But then I decided that I'd leave that to the family to inform them.

Let them wonder what happened to dear sweet Alexia.

It wasn't hard to get her situated in the car and then I made the drive home. I'd prop her up on a silk covered bed and let her sleep her death's sleep. Then I'd take her down to my play room where her dinner was waiting. She could play games with them. She'd learn to feed properly. Then she would make her choice.

Did she want her daddy first or her mommy and brother?

It didn't matter really. I was her new mommy, and I was going to take very good care of my angel.
