I remembered.. it was one year today.

One year from..then... the one day that I can say hurt me the most.

I fought the Slayers. There were more than two of them, almost like a Swarm.. I saw another clanmate rush to my defense..but it was too late. The Slayers swarmed over him instead, and he was quickly dusted.

I ran from them, ran as hard as I could..I knew they couldn't be out here for nothing...

Turning around a corner in a panicked frenzy, I saw what they had been after...

Bloodied by Holy Water, almost disfigured, I saw my Dru, lying there. Limbs were broken, her neck splintered, laying at an odd angle.

"No...Dru, come on, get up, we gotta get outta here.." "Daddy...Daddy I can't see you.." I ran to her, but I was too late.

Grabbed from behind and held at bay, I realized what the purpose of a reputation was. Being the First's right-hand, I was one of the most wanted Vampires in Sunnydale. And they knew just how to get to me, those goddamned Slayers.

One could say that I loved Dru. I guess I could say that I did. As much as a Vampire could love another that wasn't his Sire. Seeing her there was almost too much for me to handle. I didn't know what to do...can't move, can't think, can't feel except fear...

The Slayers held me, finding two of my newest underlings and holding them where I could see. Dru was roughly lifted, and I struggled, almost breaking free... Almost...

And Time seemed to slow near to a stop as a stake was shoved into their chests, one underling, the second.. Dru...

And the look of abject horror will forever be frozen in my memory. That look before she dusted, that one second that was still Dru..

Just the one, final moment...and then nothing.

I fell weak. That's never happened, honest. But, for some reason, it was the only thing I could do then.

They took me. I didn't know where I was heading, but wherever it was, I doubt it would be pleasant.

They walked, two in front, one on each side, two in back.

The two beside me wanted a break. Fine. We'd been walking for about three hours.

The two in front and behind spread out more, to make sure I was evenly watched.

But then..something happened..something I couldn't explain.. I disappeared.

And appeared again. This time, six feet above the ground, and with no clothes.

How much more fun can ya get?
