For the most part, I hadn't really been doing much of anything lately. Basically, I didn't feel like doing anything but lay around the house and go to school. Not that school did much for me anymore anyway. At least being at the house wasn't such a pain as it used to be. I could actually come out of my room and not have to avoid everyone I ran

So much anger and hatred rolling off the boy in waves. Of course he was still grieving. I'd taken his sister away. His best friend in the world. I would feel sorry for him if it wasn't for the fact of, oh you know, I didn't care. Lexi was mine and she would always be mine. The only reason I spared him was out of my devotion to her and James.

"Poor Tyler, have you been thinking naughty thoughts about how you'd like to pay me back for what I did to your sister?" I smiled wickedly at him. "Do you want to hurt me, Tyler? Make me scream and beg and cry before you finish what no one else has been able to do? Be the big hero and then what? Are you going to kill your sister next? Is she still your sister?"

I was curious as to how he would answer that last question. He was still Lexi's brother as far as she was concerned. We had a rising body count of look alikes to prove it. But had he bought into the theory that a vampire was nothing like the person they once were?

"I could reunite you. Not just with your sister either. With your dad. He's losing it, you know. Losing his mind because Lexi and you are torn apart. If he just had his family together again...well it would make you all happy wouldn't it? It only hurts for a minute, and I think you'd like it. I think you'd want it to hurt long than a minute."

I turned my gaze on to the little slayer. The way she was watching me kind of gave me the tingles in all the right places. Did she want to run out in the snow with Tyler just to get away from little ol' me? That was cute.

"How about you? Do you like to scream and beg? Ever wonder what it would be like to double your power and your fun, sunshine? I got to tell you, being a slayer and a vampire? It's a kick."

I was getting angrier and angrier by the second and I didn't know it was possible. I'd felt grief before this. I'd even been mad with rage that night in my room. But.. I'd never felt so much hate in my entire short life. So much hate for one person. I hated Wolfram and Hart, but that was different. I could feel the hate and rage eating away at me so much the longer I looked at her.

"I told you," I said and stepped closer to her. "Leave Lucy alone." The idea of going for the next house over was out of the question. This was my house. Mine and my sisters no matter what had happened and no matter if I didn't want to live here anymore. Dad had bought us this house so we could be together and because we had wanted out of the hotel. It sickened me to have Sophia living here.

Grinning a little, I actually laughed at her. The scar on my neck started to burn a little but I ignored it. "Do you really think that I'd ever even consider asking you to turn me even if I did want it?" Look out because I was channeling those crazy Osborn genes right now. I moved further away from Lucy and started to walk around Sophia. She wanted to tear into me? Go ahead, see how much Lexi wants to be your princess then, bitch.

"I have two vampires in my family and two others on the side. Don't you think I'd have my choice of sires? You're definitely not on that list, Sophia, so try again." Stopping in front of her, I was starting to get dangerously close. If Mom and Dad were here they'd be having strokes.

"She'll always be my sister," I said in full belief of what I was saying and raised my chin to her. "And I'll always be the one she thinks about more than anyone else. Demon or not, soul or no soul, she'll always be mine before anyone else."

"I'll pass." I said bluntly to her half-assed offer to turn me. I had nothing but hatred for vampires. She was the reason I ended up in jail in Colorado and the only thing I wanted her to do was be dust in the wind. She was powerful though, really powerful and I could be over my head by trying to take her on. It dawned on me then though. Why she was so much stronger than other vampires I had fought. I'd killed all of her groupies but she'd escaped.

Because she was just like me.

Well, not just like me. She had the vampire parts too and I was positive I had dreamed of her when I really thought about it. It was the darkest dreams she showed up in, not the nightmares after our tangle a year or so ago. A vampire waking up as a slayer. It wasn't right. Someone probably needed to put her out of her own misery.

"Tyler...." I warned him as he got too close. I could feel my heart rate speed up rapidly as he just walked right up to the vampire and started to threaten her. Was he out of his damn mind? How would I explain to Faith that I'd let her son become vampire food? Instantly I grabbed him by his arm and yanked him away from Sophia. I was sorry about Lexi. I had always liked her. But Tyler getting eaten wasn't going to help her any.

"There's not going to be any turning or any screaming and begging tonight." I said evenly, tilting my chin up defiantly in Sophia's direction. "Sorry to disappoint."
