As we ride off on the motorcycle, I think about when the last time it was I was happy. I mean really happy. "What's on your mind?" I stop and think for a second. Could I be happy in this moment? Is it possible? I am riding on a motorcycle with this amazing guy not having to think about vampires, demons, and how dark the world is. "Just that I am having a really good time" I smile and put my head on his back as we ride off in the wind.
We stop at this park to sit down and have a soda, its quiet between us for a minute. Listening to the birds, the trees flow back and forth in the wind. "So uh how long have you been in Sunnydale?" I smile what should I say I mean I haven't been here as long as some other people I know. Then he is going to ask what made me come here and what am I supposed to say then? "About 8 years" I swallow waiting for the next question. "Move here with your family?" oh wow wasn't expecting that question. I was half expecting him to be like so why did you move here, did you get a new job? "Actually I don't have any family, well I have my mom but we don't talk anymore." He puts his head down for a second "I am sorry to hear that" he leans back a little looking at me almost as if he is studying this woman he knows nothing about, his curiousity is shining through. "So Frank let's cut to the chase, I am kind of a blunt type of girl so what are you really doing in Sunnydale?" He looks around for a second looking like hes going to try to come up with an answer. He sighs. It's like being at a war and trying to kill the guys on the other side but then you realize it's no use. "Actually I am wanted by the law" I look around and stare back at him, "Wait, what?" He takes his soda can and drinks the rest down. "Yeah I am wanted by the law, I am traveling as far as I can to keep myself out of trouble" he chuckles, "Although trouble seems to follow me anyhow" I cant speak for a second I have to think, is this man a serial killer? A rapist? What if he is someone who has hurt his family? "Frank, I have to ask what exactly did you do?"
We are walking on the sidewalk, he tells me the whole story of how his family is killed. He set out for revenge and decided to start being sort of a vigilante. "It's all just messed up a year ago, I was planning my daughters birthday party and now I am hiding from everyone back home and everyone I know and love" There is a pause for a moment, "Since we are being completely honest, I have something to tell you" All of a sudden a tall guy starts walking towards us, as he gets closer I recognize who he is. "Oh God" I roll my eyes not this again. "Well if it isn't Faith, the trouble maker" It's Damon, now here is the part of the story where it is going to get weird. Me and Damon used to be a thing a long long time ago. Oh and another thing Damon is a vampire. A special vampire, he has certain ways of being out in the sunlight. He has a necklace which is a family heirloom that his father gave him years ago that helps protect him from various things that can kill vampires. "Damon, look I am here with a friend just walking around having a nice day ok?" Frank turns to this guy, "So who is this?" Damon looks at him and gives him a hellish look, "Who the hell are you?" I walk a little closer to Damon, "Do you forget who I am?" "Do you forget what I can do?" Damon laughs. "What you can do?" "You can do nothing girl, see this shiny little thing around my neck, we both know you can never do what you really want to do" He starts to walk around like he is inspecting us. "You know I thought I was a bad boy but man look at this creature right here" "You know how to pick them don't you Faith?" He looks at me with a evil grin. "Jealous?" the grin leaves his face. "Faith you know we had a good time together, lots of good times for hours and hours" he gets close to my face breathing in my ear. "Hey I don't think she is interested in being bothered right now" he turns around to face Frank. "What the hell do you know?" "Do you know this woman has never loved anyone in her entire life?" "She uses them and tosses them away" I can feel my adrenaline pumping, I want to start kicking his ass, Vampire Slayer style. "Damon leave before I make you leave" "I cant kill you but I can beat you til you have no strength left" Damon gets in my face, "I'll see you soon, tell kiaya I said Hi" "I bet she tastes as good as she smells" he chuckles a evil laugh. "You stay away from her!" Damon walks off, "Just remember I will be seeing you soon".
I turn around to find Frank with a confused look on his face. He walks up towards me I can hear his heart pounding through his throat. His adrenaline is pumping just like mine. "Faith, is everything ok?" he says almost as if he sounds winded. "yes I am fine" God, I want this man to take me, have me, hold me, show me how much he can treat me like a woman. I want him to grab me and shove me on the ground and have his way with me. "Maybe we better get you home, huh?" I breathe for a second trying to slow my heart rate. "Yes that sounds good".
