Previous Chapter

Spike went down into a deep slumber, he was soon beginning to enter a dream state, his body felt ever so heavy, as he was drifting off. He couldn’t see anything, and then he was beginning to see fields. Fields going as far as Spike was able to see at that point, the feeling of the warm sun hitting his face, right then, he almost thought he was having a wonderful Dream. For the moment he was that was until he felt himself being pulled, he tried fighting it, but whatever this strange force seemed to be strong, as he was moving rather fast, the sun moving down for the day.

Right as Spike was moving with the sun while it began setting, but he was not in the darkness he was able to see rather bright light, as he was now moving onto a city, rather large from the look of it, as the lights were strong enough to remove the beauty of the star light.

“Wow I can already tell this isn’t gonna be normal...” Spike’s voice echoing off into the distance.

Then he felt the grip of earth gravity begin pulling him down from the minute of pure weightlessness. Spike could feel his stomach, felt almost like it was moving up his throat, and would Rushed out of his mouth if given the chance two though it seemed like it never game the feeling of his body Acceleration seemed to gradually slow down as he watched up wondering where it was he might’ve been.

Spike looked towards the night sky the feeling of his feet moving safely on the air’s tides, while he looked up he couldn’t help but notice the sight of the moon. It seemed rather bloody for a second. Really this moment was only missing the harsh sound of the first six minutes of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata to add into the strange and mysteriousness of the moment. Just the vagueness. The sense of dread began raining down upon him. It seemed impossible since the harvest moon was months away so this should’ve been impossible to even happen even if this was a dream.

Then he heard the sounds of footsteps echo out into the bleak distance surrounded by darkness. Spike would begin walking towards those mysterious footsteps, feeling determination come over him wanting to find out who it might’ve been that was making the sounds. Spike could only guess it was a dream still, though everything seemed more realistic than most almost the same as the dream he had the night before reaching the college, So he decided to take note and try to remember every bit of the smallest details not to forget them in case something about it might’ve been important in the long run.

He walked towards the echoing footsteps and where it had lead him to. He then saw a woman, walking down the long dark sidewalk, by her side was a rather large dog from what could be told it was a Doberman mixed with what seemed Rottweiler, and abet of newfoundland, judging from the beastly dogs size and look. Its fur was black with a white pattern around his neck. Spike was only able to see a woman standing tall being at least in her mid-forties but it was easy to realized that she’d been a who if you asked how old she was, would simply say;

‘Oh I’m only about twenty-nine good sir.’ The woman had Long fiery red hair going down her back, and what seemed straight, until it reached the tips of her hair which was at her shoulders. She wore, simple oval glasses the perched over her nose, barely under her eyes. From what he could tell she had just gotten off of work and didn’t even bother getting change, before taking her dog out.

She continued moving down the long, sidewalk, from what Spike could tell looking in them dark brown eyes which, had a hint of blue in them. Suddenly the sound of ringing could be heard from the woman’s pocket, Spike could have figured that it was a cell phone.

It rang for a once maybe even twice. Spike didn't pay much attention to that really. He mainly looked over seeing the woman fumbled through her purse. Whoever the nameless woman was must not have worried much of money since Spike looked over it as it seen Twilight looked over purses like those unline and it seemed like one that came over from across the sea’s Italy for the most. Though he never really understood why a woman would want to spend so much on a bag, they’d only use a week before getting one he’d never know.

"Hello!?" The women spoke rather loudly into the phone, as there was a moment of silence, Spike thought he heard a meek voice but it was soon interrupted by the woman as she said,

"Oh no you don't you better listen to me!"

She sounded mad right then, as she was barking order's right at the poor man, who she was talking too. Whatever the person on the other line said, it managed to put her in a bad mood. She then said,

"Now listen here you get those deeds to the land, and right now!" more silence from the other man who might have been cowering, but Spike watched, her talk, but he could tell, was he didn't like this woman, she seems like the kind of person who thinks her own shit didn't smell.

"Yeah, yeah, well I don't care for a small little riot, from them little hicks. Or what the law say's just fucking do it! Hold on I have another call."

With that she simply hanged up on the man, and placed the phone away.

"You know Ares hate, hearing people Just can’t get the job done right, if I hired they they should do the job done, a second after I ask them.”

She simply looked spoke out, like she was talking to someone before laughing, at the moment, taking her dog off longer,

She simply stated to her dog looking down as she turned giving a slightly laugh looking back ahead as the dog, only gave a ‘Gruff.’ And Followed his master.

Spike kept moving after her. Not that he really cared about it, though the fact was some strange and unknown force seemed to be pulling him onwards to watch and followed the woman at the time, he had no full control over his body it seemed like. There, she kept moving looking at her dog almost lovingly, it seemed like that animal was one of the very few things she actually ever loved. It seemed like nothing was going to happen, Spike was about to leave her, when suddenly the large dog, started whining, almost like a newborn puppy, as it seemed, like it wanted to get away.

"Ares what's wrong boy?" She sounded concerned, right then.

Ares the dog, Tried fighting his mistress pulling and tugging off trying to get her away from the direction they were heading. As if it was feeling something- No it knew something was there that his mistress couldn’t see, and it feared the idea of what it could do. Even Spike was starting to wonder what was wrong with the poor animal. Soon the large dog mustered all its strength pulling from the woman in doing so began breaking the leash and running far from his master, as Ares the dog ran away, the woman screamed for him;

“ARES COME BACK BABY!”

She yelled out as loud as she could have hoping the dog would on the small chance return to her She stood there, her foot slamming on the ground which was bad at the moment wearing what looked like an expensive pair of heel's really if she needed to she could run after the dog, and catch up getting a hold but she simply started to walk, in the direction Ares went... Right then as she was moving after the dog. She only heard the loud growling bark of the large k-9. She knew Ares loud barking coming from the distance. The barking lasted for a moment, growing louder than came a loud yelping whine of pain before silence, when the bussiness woman looked towards where her dog had ran off. That was when the fog slowly rolled out towards her, coming from some unknown force though she never thought about it. As she looked into it, she was about to run into the fog. She screamed, and yelled into the fog,

"ARES DON'T WORRY BABY BOY MOMMY'S COMING!"

She began running, trying to go as fast as she could, but all she could see was nothing. She was getting worried, and began yelling out the dog's name... Soon the area around her turned silent, she looked around, as she felt herself getting scared, as there was no sound around her not even the chirping of crickets. Even a small voice in her head was yelling at her, Spike somehow knew she was in trouble and soon Spike would scream out towards the woman though somehow knew that she’d never hear him: "Run... RUN NOW!"

Under the fog came a soft growl, for a moment the woman thought it might have been Ares but deep down she knew that wasn't her dog, with that she turned around and started to run. Fight or flight had turned on and it chose to flight on her. When she started to run, she went into a full blown sprint moving as far as she could be trying to get away, from whatever it was that was chasing her, whatever had gotten her beloved dog Ares. Suddenly a cracking sound could be heard from under her. The woman’s heel broke down under the woman when she made one wrong step.

The fall wouldn’t have been as bad but it was where she landed that was the worst part, she had landed on her knee, and with her full body force, going on it she felt a searing pain, rushing right though her she didn’t know if she shattered it or not, but she couldn’t stand up that was for sure so she did the only thing she could do and that was crawl.

Moving crawling as far as she was able to, even as she did the pain rushed over her, if it wasn’t for the adrenaline running in her veins at the moment, and the very will to live, she would have just stayed in place, she didn’t know she was even bleeding, but whatever it was that was after her, knew the very smell of her blood was enticing to it, as it managed to move onward to her, and right then she turned around wanting to get one last look at the thing.

All she could see was eyes… Cold black eyes, they seemed rather soulless, she knew right then, she was looking right into the very eyes of death.

Spike would than wake up in a cold sweat his heart beating fast all the while, His whole body was drenched in perspiration. He didn’t know what he had just seen, but the only thing he even knew was this dream was different from the rest of them, this one was dark. He moved his hand away wiping the sweat from his brow, looking ahead of him realizing that he was back in his room where he was safe. That was for the least he hoped he was safe from whatever it was that had been in his nightmare- That strange vision.

He then laid back down laying on his side just wanting to get back to sleep, he didn’t care what time it was, that was when he got the sight of hair, blond, flowing hair that covered the pillow next to him.

Spike was rather shock seeing the hair, trying to remember what happened last night, he kept his mouth shut not wanting to disturb the person sleeping, by him. Spike looked over to the side, seeing a woman laying by his side her head pushed in the pillow, remaining silent for the moment trying not to disturb and the woman from her slumber. It wouldn’t take long for Spike to remember in truth, but he was still shocked realizing the woman who laid by him, was in fact Applejack remained in pure slumber resting dreaming whatever dreams she might’ve had. Then the events of last night returned to him, almost all at once, some of it was fuzzy but the clearest thing he could remember from it was her, and that man in black.

He didn’t move not even making attempt, just for the time, he simply looked over at Applejack admiring her, as she slumbered without a care, He stayed quiet, wondering how much luck he could have had. Then she started to turn over, her eyes opening slowly, as she gave the man a soft look. Applejack took a second or two as Looked at Spike giving a soft smile before saying drowsy;

“Wow last night must’ve been a hell of a night.”

She then let off a giggle. She Shuffled close to him, looking right at him, she looked at Spike with passion staring deep into his eyes. Spike laughed also knowing last night had been interesting especially, with those three men who had attacked him, but there was more, wasn’t there something he didn’t noticed. Right then he saw Applejack’s hand moving over caressing his chin which was spotting a simply five o’clock shadow.

The way they looked at each other it could have lasted for eternity, but Spike’s back had stiffened something that happened when he was in bed, he tried ignoring it, their breathing was soft. As her cool breath hit him, Spike felt Goosebumps running down his arms but he wondered why.

Applejack then said to him,

“So I wonder did you enjoy that date.”

Her eyes would soon change not changed involving emotional like most people would’ve Her eyes changed they didn’t show emotion as people would have suspected they would they just changed to a light shade of blue.

“Well I know I would never forget it.” Spike chuckled, after telling her, knowing it was the truth and he couldn’t lie to her about anything,

“Beside it’s not every day I wake up with a very beautiful woman in my bed.”

She seemed to blush at that comment, but It only did was show off her strange and mysterious eyes. Spike then took a chance, as he wrapped his long arms around her pulling her close she only let a smirk, but that was a moment, as she then said,

“As much as I could love to be here Spike I need to go off I have a class to go.” Spike rolled his eyes chuckling,

“Wouldn’t you rather be here instead?’

Applejack simply laughed at Spike words giving a simple smirk;

“As much as I’m tempted by that I really, need to go, don’t want to fail. Beside I can always come back after.”

She smiled at Spike before getting out of the bed. Revealing that she was still wearing the clothes from last night. She’d worn the night before. Spike watched Applejack walking to the restroom seeing her hips swaying, as he couldn’t help but think that her body was blessed by the angels themselves. The blanket moved off him and he notice he had a lack of cloths as opposed to her, making him wonder. He shook his head knowing that was impossible. The first thing she did was head to the restroom, there was a shower, in its crudely made, but it worked pretty well. A second later, the sound of the shower had started, and she began giving a humming sound something he had heard on a regular during the week. This went on for about a half hour, and she simply walked out.

She held a towel over, her as she went on asking him if he had a spare set of cloths he didn’t mind lending her. Which he didn’t mind passing them to her. Right as she was handed the cloths, she began to change, Spike wanting to be a gentle man turned around from her not watching, but he couldn’t help but turn his head, but she caught him right then, calling him a little perky, which all he could say was,

“Yeah and?” having a soft chuckle.

Then with a moment in silence as the chuckle vanished Spike soon heard, a knocking on the door, it seemed rather load, who could it have been Spike wondered?

He wanted to ignore it right then, trying to keep his time, with the blond to himself, whoever it was could wait, right… But that seemed to come to no end from how it seemed because even as they remained quiet, the knocking kept going, before Spike finally got tired of it, and headed right to the door, opening it. Soon he was eye to eye with Twilight, and she didn’t look to happy at him. Spike couldn’t help but feel annoyed here he was standing shirtless, at the moment standing in front of someone who didn’t need to be here but he kept his mouth shut watching her, and said; Yes, Twilight?

Twilight watched him rather focused, not saying much, but the way it seemed she was looking in his room, before she responded; “Yeah I was wondering if you saw Applejack or not she hadn’t come home last night, and I was getting worried.”

She looked hesitated from what Spike could tell, looking at her but it might have been hard to tell really, that was how she was sort of reminded him of a Chihuahua, really from how its head moved left and right shaking

“... Um Do you want to come inside?”

Without an answer or, happened to be the question she wasn’t to hear she moved him aside. and went right in still seeming, to be looking around, that’s when she seemed to finally notice Applejack, right there standing with one of Spike favorite shirt’s around her body, almost swallowing her whole. Twilight looked rather shocked seeing her like that before returning her sight back to Spike.

“I knew she was here Spike; I knew right as I smelled the perfume right on your cheek. You jerk!”

She sounded irritated at him, as she moved even more into ‘His’ room. He wanted to say something but at the moment he couldn’t come with a snappy comeback not right then at the least.

“Is there a problem Twilight? With me being here with Spike?” Applejacks eyes squinted some looking at the Applejack haired woman. Like she was looking into her very Soul somehow it reminded him of something he just couldn’t figure it out, not right then at the least.

Spike began to watch closer, Twilight then started talking to Applejack,

“Where were you last night? I was worried sick when it finally reached Midnight, and why in the hell are you doing here.?!”

Twilight suddenly stopped, her mind seemed to wander off from her as she was coming up with conclusions that may or may not have been true for her but her head shot, over to Spike so fast that, most people would wonder how she didn’t get whiplash from it.

“Spike your god damn pervert.”

Spike’s head raised up looking confused after all losing interest in the conversation for a few minutes before and the next thing he realized he was being called by his ‘Sister’. Twilight looked at him, while he kept a dumbfounded look on him, (the way she looked at him, it was almost one of them if looks could kill event.

“Um how am I a per, Twilight?” He asked rather mellowed right then, Twilight was at a loss of words the way it seemed;

“Because...Because you are here and you are naturally a per that’s why! Plus, why else would she be in here in you room, this early in the morning.”

Spike rolled his eyes right then not in the mood to fight with her his head felt like it was splitting slightly, and her yelling wasn’t helping,

“Wow, you seem rather tensed for someone who got some last night am I right Spike.”

This was rather shocking as instead of it being Spike like most people would have figured it happened to be Applejack herself, she let off a rather dark grin,

“Who was he Twilight?”

Twilight never took notice what Spike was saying when she started to defend herself.

“It’s none of your business who she was we were just studying and nothing else.”

She seemed rather fast trying to defend herself right then, But Spike managed to catch on the one part about it not being a man, but a woman.

“She? Wow Twilight Never thought I’d hear you do something like that though you where just that goodie two shoes Christian girl that Night Light wanted, but underneath it looks like a wild streak in you.”

Right then Applejack looked rather annoyed, right then hearing this even though she knew she was the one who started it, as she soon said, rather firmly but holding a bit of passion, it almost seemed like she knew it would have started to become a fight if she hadn’t said anything,

“Ok you two let’s settle down and all how about we just get something to eat, Spike you can pay.” Turning her head to the man she gave him a rather seductive Blink but even if she didn’t do that Spike would have done it anyway, (“err ash” It seemed like his stomach agreed, with Applejack.)

“Besides, Spike she has the right to do what she want’s She is a grown woman after all.” Chuckled, before she turned her head back to the other woman,

“And, with you what I and Spike do is none of your concern got it.”

Twilight seemed to grunt with it as she went silent rather fast, but it didn’t matter Spike was listening to the calling his stomach as it was doing the talking, and said,

“Well let’s get going then how about it.” Giving a rather goofed up dance, Applejack just chuckled, some almost like she was thinking, ‘Boys and their stomachs.’ She soon moved over, getting her small purse that was laying on the other side of the room, before she simply looked at Spike,

“I hope you don’t mind me taking this shirt for a while it is rather comfortable to me.”

Before winking, Spike simple looked at her, keeping his cool,

“I don’t mind Rave, Not at all.”

Smirking neither of them had realizing Twilight had left the two love birds alone in an instant. Though neither of them noticed or care. Spike was remained next to the bed. when the golden haired woman walked towards him almost pull him by his shirt towards him, simply to embarrassing him her lips pressed against him. It wasn’t lustful but a fast simple peck. Though for Spike it seemed to send waves of electricity over him. Spike could have stayed like this forever if he could but they were then interrupted by the sound of screaming, a rather high pitch one close to breaking a high C note.

“Spike!”

Both of them turned their head looking right out the door. Spike turned instinctively hearing his sisters cry for help ran straight towards his desk which he proceeded pulled out what looked like four-inch switch blade he quickly unlocked, Double edge, in length with a wooden handle.

They’re Spike proceeded to run out of the room following Applejack, trying to find out who might’ve been, dumb enough to attack Twilight but Whoever it was had better have prayed to whatever god they worshiped for whatever they might’ve done to Twilight wasn’t going to get far. They weren’t able to see anything everything just seemed to look rather blurry to them. It didn’t really mattered, as their vision started to change as they watched the wall began to melt and the world around them seemed so change. Morphing and twisting until it seemed unrecognizable. He almost forgot about Twilight, but that was until he saw her, she wasn’t that far from him, but he made a dash for her, moving to her side, as she laid on the cold tiled ground. Her eyes were closed; Spike went with his gut moving his hand over checking her neck...

There was nothing for a moment Spike felt a surge of fear move over him, he didn’t know if Twilight was dead, but right then when the first beat pulsed, against his two finger the feeling of relief scurried over him. It seemed that Twilight had passed out but what was the reason for that really, the place didn’t show anything but that was because Spike never got a good look at it in truth, what he would have seen would make him question his very sanity…

His eyes never left Twilight as he moved closer to her. Twilight needed to wake her up So he’d be able to find out what had caused her to faint. So he did the only thing he could think of when he began tapping her cheek’s moving soft at first. It didn’t seem to be working. So he then decided to move his hand a little harder using at little strength as he could not wanting to hurt Twilight. Seeing if that could possibly wake the unconscious woman, as he did her cheek started to become bright red. The way she was she wasn’t going to wake up Spike felt like nothing was going again till he slapped her face once more, which he was then surprised by how her eyes opened, shooting almost daggers onto him, in anger, Spike didn’t notice it but she was making a fist. Spike knew she’d be angry towards him by what he did but Spike never imagined that she’d actually go as far as punch him right than.

Though in truth, Spike might have deserved it and he knew that but he still couldn't help but say to the young woman.

“Oh come on Twilight! I was trying to help you”

Spike eyes locked on the Applejack haired woman even then as she seemed to shoot off the ground like a rocket looking around she looked around seeing nerves but casually, stating;

“Next time don’t hit so hard.” Twilight would simply chuckle. Applejack moved looking over at Applejack who she herself couldn’t help but laugh at how Spike was knocked back by a woman smaller than him.

“Ok y’all laughing aside, where the heck are we.”

Spike asked, right then the only thing they could tell whatever way they had actually gotten here was gone. They were almost in an empty room, it was fairly large, but rather empty in all truth. Spike’s turned around looking observing the whole place, the best that they were even able to only able to see a door, a tall metallic one from the looks of it.

Spike started moving over to it, the others watched for the moment as he then looked back simply saying.

“Let’s head this way.” Pointing over to the very door that stood ahead of the,

“How come Spike?” Twilight asked, she didn’t seem sassy really, but rather puzzled, before moving on following him, he didn’t say anything right then. All Spike would do was walk, his focus seemed to be on that door, and it reminded him of something long since forgotten. When he moved at the door, it seemed to side to the side, moving fast, from how Spike could have figured, he didn’t even need to push it. So he simply walked through it with Applejack, and Twilight following him,

“Um Spike where are we heading to be exact?” Applejack asked as they headed through the door, Spike only said,

“North I’m guessing.”

It wasn’t much of an answer; it was the best he could come up with as the three continued on that was until they heard a loud whooshing sound raining fast before them as a set of large doors began opening before the. Then as they entered the new room, it was far larger than the last one it was a grand room, filled to the brink, with object’s rather large stuff that couldn’t have been made by no man. At least that was from what Spike could have guessed, at the least Most of them looked like monitor’s, glowing with images, showing rather odd symbols on them none that could have been written by the hand of man, at least living as far as any of them could tell.

But that was not the oddest of it all-Not even close to it. Spike was looking up as he notices there was a second floor, and there he was able to see it, creatures, more like monsters at the most, scattered over in front of monitors looking at them examining each of them different from the other, it scared even Spike. one of them the fist he saw, it seemed to be the most human out of them the only difference was when he looked at it seeing the large lizard tail. It moved around her almost like a third hand.

Another, was a bat like creature, it stood tall as it looked rather tired but worked none the less. He wondered if Twilight had saw something like this it might have explained a bit.

“What the?!”

He almost screamed it out loud, but even as he opened his mouth nothing seemed to come out, something had stopped him but it wasn’t him, this even caused him to drop the very knife he had held firmly, even as it fell to the ground it echoed, through the room but no one even noticed it. Spike didn’t know if they were either demon of monster, but they didn’t bother noticing Spike, or the other he felt relief even then.

“Are you two seeing what I think I’m seeing?”

He asked them concerned thinking he might have just lost his mind but they both spoke rather at the same time,

“Yes I am.” This didn’t settle him, it only brought him even more fear.

Then on the far side of this rather large room, a door, much like the one they had come in from made the same swooshing sound, making all three of them jump. Looking over, to where the sound came from Spike was watching a man heading towards them, his eyes they seemed rather cold, they felt like eyes when they looked at him, he was wearing a large jumpsuit, with the bland color of grey moving over it.

He seemed to have the looks of a general, at the most, mainly from the constant serious look, almost like he was on guard for something to happen, from what happened next, it was clear that Spike and them saw him first and not the other way around, as he got closer he soon got a good notice, and he looked like he was about an inch from blowing a fuse. His face was as Red as a tomato in under a second.

“Who the Hell are you, and what are you doing here?”

Twilight looked at the man for a moment, as she tried to remain calm for the moment, not saying much but;

“Don’t know sir, where are we, and also watch your mouth you’re in front of a lady.”

She smirked some but it didn’t seem to help smirking some, looking up at him, in a second thought it looked like he was about to blow a fuse, from pure anger but he let out a small smirk, who wouldn’t when talking to a woman as beautiful as Twilight, herself, and she knew that he was almost putty in her hand.

But sadly that had only lasted a minute or so, before he realized something and started to speak onto her in a rather harsh term. His eyes seemed to then fill with a kind of lust something that no woman should ever have to see, in her life, as he moved over, talking, his anger rising, and then he spoke,

"It seems like you're not in any conditions to by telling me what I can, and cannot say woman."

He moved closer, grabbing ahold of her hand, Spike eyes flared at the sight how dare he lay a hand on the woman he even considered a sister, no matter what, this was something Spike was going to take lying down, as he was getting ready to move up to help the woman, a hand stopped, him and it was none other than Applejack who had done that.

"What the?" He looked at her right then confused.

"Like I said Spike she is a big girl, she’s gotta fight her own battles." She was so calm it seemed rather creepy, for him. He didn't move not wanting to cause trouble he figure, and simply watched Twilight, as she was confronting the much larger man.

"Well big guy I don't happen to like your attitude."

Twilight spoke up right then a brave look appearing on her face, as she looked the man in the grey jump suit dead in the eye. The guy looked at her, his eyes flaring with hate, it seemed he wasn't the type of man, to let a woman walk over, him he guessed. It seemed like he was moving his hand back to slap, her but not before Twilight moved, He might have been larger but Twilight on the other hand was faster.

Her leg moved in the air, going toward him, he watched it, and the way it ended he over estimated, where it was going to head for, as Twilight had manage to moved hitting him dead center into the family jewels.

Now Spike knew that this man deserved what he got but he couldn't help in the slightest but finch. Having some simpathy for the man as he watched him begin falling down to his neck. Spike was almost feeling the mans pain himself. As he reached down between his own legs as he hissed in pain seeing the man doing the same, holding his scrotum in pain. Just specking must’ve hurt, though He managed to speck,

"You Bitch!"

Which wasn't the right move to say right there as soon as he opened his eyes he was within sight of Twilightes, foot as it quickly struck him in the center of his face causing him to fly back landing on his back, and with that final move, he was out cold.

"Didn't yah momma ever tell you never to cuss in front of a woman Hun, I bet it just breaks her poor heart."

With that she moved from the man, brushing her lower wear from, any dust she might have gotten, before returning with the two. Spike though he was surprised, and knew he had to remind himself not to anger the woman anytime, soon not after seeing her just do that to a guy twice her size, in truth. They watched the man standing right there, Spike didn't know if he was breathing at all. Or if Twilight actually killed him...

Watching the man who laid down before them still cowering in pain at the moment, had began rising up slowly that was when they heard behind them the door beginning to open once more, and Spike was even wondering if it would come to turning into a fight at this time, as they turned back towards the door, which much to their surprise really, they looked seeing another man standing there in front of them. He was looking at them, his eyes darting from each one, he was a short man, only a couple of inches shorter then Twilight, who stood about 5'4 herself, with jet black hair, that seemed to have a Quibged style for him. He had no facial hair covering his body that could be notice from the moment, the dark overcoat covered a lot, from sight, but Even then looking at his eyes. They were even more shocked they seemed the only part of him that wasn't even human.

"Roland... Get up this instant." Then almost on cue the much taller man, Who managed to get up from the ground than his right hand over his more private of area, looked as though he was having a small bit of trouble taking deep breath but it seemed more out of fear than anything as he looked over towards the smaller man, and nodded, soon responding;

"Y-Yes. Mr. Quibble..."

It seemed the density, of the room, became silent, and soon the man by the name by the name Quibble, looked at him showing no form of expression, and said to him,

"There seems to be a mess in sector seven would you mind going in there and cleaning it up."

Roland, looked nerves like something about this sector seven was much more, horrible than it actually sounded to them. He soon started moving running the opposite way, that he had come into that room, and he didn't turn back running off to only god knows where.

Quibble turned over looking at them, his expression never changing, but he calmly said,

"I’m sorry about Roland rudeness. He’ll be dealt with later."

Spike felt nervous not knowing him, but even the sight of seeing him knew that the man standing right before him was someone you didn't want to mess with. He might have been small, but there was something odd, with him, even familiar, But Spike couldn't tell what it, was soon Quibble moved on leaving, them as he moved back to the very same door he walked in from, before the door was getting ready, to close, he turned his head back,

"Come on we don't have all day Hurry up."

He sounded more demanding than before, they soon ran after him, not wanting to lose the man, name Quibble. It took them all a moment, to see the speed, Quibble was moving as the way it looked like he was already across the hall, they were lucky really to even get over to him right them, but they had, Spike looked at him, he was trying to remember hard; ‘Who is this guy?’

In a moment, Spike was seeing images they came back to him they were memories, but they were of the other night, mainly the sight of the man in the shadow the one who helped, him, got him out of that trouble.

"You! You're that guy from last night the one in the shadows!" He nearly screamed out his answer.

Quibble looked back at him for a moment, only to stare at him with that expressionless face, and mumble:

"Yes that was me but so you know I had high hopes you would’ve done better, beside you should be thanking me, from the momentum of the bottle, and the direct angle it manages to crack your skull and a single sliver of glass managed to move right in place causing your brain to bleed. That could’ve caused you near memory loss, maybe even death."

Spike looked at him confused some, as he stared at him, blinking a couple of times, this seems to annoy Quibble, who simply said.

"I made sure you didn't need to wear diapers again. I swear you humans and soft skulls. No wonder my kind nearly took over this miserable rock."

"Ok then wise guy mind telling up where we are at?"

Spike then retorted back, as he was getting rather annoyed by how the man was talking to him, and how he had a rather big ego.

"Well Mr. Draco you are currently in the American base of S.U.P."

Spike was beginning to look confused hearing that he had never heard anything about an agency known as S.U.P, right then as he turned over and simply, as he then started to ask,

“So... what the hell is S.U.P, and didn’t you say something, about this being the American base? Do you mean there’s more of them around.”

Quibble simply seemed to ignore him right then like he didn’t even exist, But Spike was bound and determined to find out, and he had a feeling he would get them very, very soon. Spike was beginning to look confused hearing that he had never heard anything about an agency known as S.U.P, right then as he turned over and simply. As they moved down the long hall, the sign of those creatures from before, seemed to be from sight, and out of their mind’s the way it seemed like the very echoing of each of their footsteps seemed to be the only things that could be heard at the time.

Spike moved his head checking on the other, Applejack seemed to remain calm and relax, which was odd to him, but he said nothing, at all for the moment. But Twilight just looking at her he could tell she was getting, rather nerve reckoned, and her O.C.D was kicking in. Spike was really hoping they would get out of here and get some answer before, Twilight Simply opened her mouth right than trying to find the right words to respond towards Quibble but unable to find the right words, closed her mouth, and continued walking behind Quibble. Suddenly he heard a lack of footsteps, this seemed to make Applejack and Quibble look back, finding out who it was then they all looked seeing Twilight standing there and she was looking rather pissed. Too late Spike figured, Twilight slammed her foot down, as she simply looking at them and simply responded,

“You better tell us where we’re doing here or else I’m not moving from this very spot,”

Spike couldn’t help but move his hand over his head making a small slapping sound knowing that what Twilight, had done, was a bit childish, but he knew she wasn’t going to change her mind rather easy,

He took time watching Quibble for a moment, he stood there looking at Twilight with them piercing Orange eyes, his temper seeming to rise for a moment, but he did something Spike wouldn’t figure he simply rolled his eyes. At the woman,

“Stupid, stupid girl.”

He responded softly, not taking a moment this only manage to bring more anger into Twilight right then, as she looked over at him, but she stood her ground staying there not even moving an inch, that was until, the Quibble haired man, moved his hand up and snapped his finger. The very earth under Twilight, began to shake slowly, but it surely moved, at the moment, Twilight stumbled some trying to stay in place but that was until, she slowly began raising in the air. Looking over at the shorter man, who was still walking. Even as he walked Twilight was followed him, without her even taking a single step.

“Oh, Miss. Twilightica Grace Colt, You’ll get your answer in due time, but you simply need to come with me, and that can be the easy way, or the very hard, way.”

He then let off a rather dark smile looking over at Her, Twilight couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming rush of Fear surge through her. No one had ever truly called her by her full name in her life well except her parents, when she did something truly stupid but that was when she was a lot little, but this man had known how he did. Twilight took a moment, as she said softly;

“I think I will take the easy way then.”

Quibble still held that creepy smile continuingly, Before giving soft nod, His head turning around when he soon snapped his finger one last time, then the peace of earth moved, down in a sudden rush. As she felt herself on the safety of the earth.

Spike watched it right then as Applejack soon started walking with a rather faster motion toward Quibble, there was something about It Spike didn’t like about him, he knew too much, and all His instincts were telling her him to just try and get away from him, as fast as he could at the moment. Applejack stayed close to him from how it seemed, she was the most nerves at the moment watching the man, Spike didn’t mind at all, from it, as he was close to her.

None of them even bothered asking the man about anything soon after that.

“Where are we going and how will it explain about what the hell this S.U.P is?”

Spike could really only ask himself that, as they still kept moving forward, so much was racing through his mind would they get the answer they needed or was where they were going, leading them to their ultimate death. They moved down each corridor, of this large building till they finally made it to the end of it then they saw a large oak door, that seemed to have been a true piece of art itself. Spike himself knew the answer he and the other were wanting to know, would be right behind this door. The only thing he wondered the most was would he get them answered…
