*************************** 

Running.... 

*I have to get away!* She thought to herself, jumping over a fallen tree 
limb. 

The streets were dark. She had stupidily taken a short cut to get home. 

*Stupid...stupid!* She berated herself. *I should have known better* 


I look at her, 
In that paper dress. 
I wonder why she won't burn. 
She's just a paper doll, 
Thats all, 
Just a paper doll. 
I dressed her up 
She knocked me down


Her heart was pounding out the same rhythm as her feet, as she narrowly 
escaped stumbling over a pothole. Her attacker was close behind. She looked
over her shoulder, and gasped at the closing gap between her and certain 
death... 


They tried her on for size, 
It fits nice. 
one size fits all.


She was so close. She could just make out her neighborhood, as a cold hand 
clamped down on her tiny shoulder. 

"Going somewhere, pet?" 

He knocked her down to the sidewalk, hovering over her as she tried to
crawl 
away. 

"Please God no! Why are you doing this? I tried to help you!" She shouted
at 
the pale man clad in black jeans and a long leather coat. 

"Just relax, and let me kill you quick." He walked over to her scrambling 
body and grabbed her short red hair, pulling her to her feet. He slung her 
against a tree, knocking the breath out of her lungs. 

*I'm going to die in the park!* She thought as stars filled her vision.
*I'm 
so stupid!* 

He grabbed her head and twisted her neck, exposing the creamy skin under
her 
jaw. He looked at her frigtened eyes, and smiled. 

"I'm giving you the same option I gave you in the dorm room,pet. What do
you 
say? Wanna die or do you want to live?" 

"I want to live." She whimpered, her body wracking with choked sobs. 
"Please..." 

"Your wish is my command.." His smooth face took on a demon visage, as he 
lowered his mouth toward her neck. His pointy fangs pierced the soft flesh
as 
hot liquid poured into his mouth. 

*No!* Her mind screamed. *Stop!* She tried to fight back, but her strength 
was quickly ebbing from her body. Her knees felt like cooked spaghetti, and
she nearly collapsed. 

He caught her, his mouth still drinking her life from her, and pulled her 
against him. 


Now her soul is dead, 
Now her bodies raw, 
You can numb her pain 
Watch the blood run down her face. 
But dont take notice. 
Watch the blood run down her arms. 
Please don't take notice.


"One more time, pet. You want me to kill you, or let you live?" He asked
her, 
pulling his lips from her weeping neck. 

"I...wanna.....live..." She whispered. Her brain swimming in memories of
her 
life. Her heart barely pumping. 

He smiled and bent down one more time. Fangs dipping back into their marks.
He sighed as her heart beat it's last beat. 


I know you have her soul. 
I see it in your eyes. 
She knows you have her soul. 
She sees it in your eyes.


He picked up her lifeless body, and carried her to his tomb. He placed her 
softly on a marble slab, and sat down beside her. 

He straightened her dishevled clothing, and smoothed her red hair. 

He waited... 


Now her soul is dead, 
Now her bodies raw, 
You can numb her pain 
She wants you to eat her pain. 
She wants you to eat her remains 


She stirred. Her pale skin glowing softly in the moonlight. Her yellow
eyes, 
narrowing as she looks around her new home. 

"Where am I?" She asked, stretching. 

"You're home, ducks. Safe and sound where you should be." He said, putting 
his hand on her cheek, "Now do you want to learn how fun it is to kill?" 

She smiled, her face filling with wicked joy. "Please!" 

"Okay then, let's go pay a visit to some old friends." 

They made their way to Sunnydale University, home to the Slayer and the 
Initiative. 


Now her soul is dead, 
Now her bodies gone, 
Wash away her pain
