__Shop 'Til You Drop__
By Arkin
Maggie Walsh walked down Main Street, window shopping and
observing people the way she always did.
From behind the corner of an alley a shadow jumped at her, grabbing
her by the throat and dragging her after him.
'You! I knew I recognized that smell'
'What do you want?' she choked through her clenched windpipe.
'Four years ago you drugged me, cut me up and poked me with
needles!!! Now, I will kill you.'
Fear washed through Walsh, than pain as sharp teeth dug into her flesh.
The last sounds she heard were those of a demon chewing on human
flesh.

As she turned the corner a man in a horrid shirt stepped in front of
her. 'Maggie Walsh?'
'Yes.'
'My name is Ethan Rayne.'
Walsh tried to get away but he grabbed her and dragged her after him
into a dark ally. 'You are the one in command of those pillocks who
locked me up, correct?'
Walsh was paralyzed with fear, the result of the cold, angry look in the
man's eyes. 'Did you know that there are many spells that work much
better with human parts?'
**
Ethan smiled to himself and the remaining parts of Walsh's body. 'Yes,
this spell had just the desired effect.'
Bringing the result of the potion to his mouth, he smiled. 'Nothing like
fresh lemonade on a hot summer day, isn't that right my lovely?'

She was in a hurry to get back to the Campus and decided to take a
short cut through the cemetery.

'Walking around unprotected in the middle of the night was your first
mistake.'
Giles stabbed the vampire with his stake, watching as Prof. Walsh's
features dissolved into a cloud of dust.
'Running into me was your second.'

A small man passed by her. 'Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbit.'
Walsh looked at the little man with the funny hat, when she noticed a
shadow on the floor. Looking up she saw a large rectangular shape
coming down over her and the little man.
Elmer dug himself from under the anvil. 'That scwewy wabbit.'

A young woman clad in leather came up to her. 'Willow?'
'Yes.' She said, tilting her head to the side.
'I must say that is a new look for you.'
'Why are you talking to me like we're friends?'
'Willow, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye on certain matters.'
'Bored now.'
