astor bennett, complete, day 31, spike

Who: Spike and Open :)
When: Day 31 morning
What: Spike gets a snack..
Rating: PG or lower so far.
Status: Incomplete

Spike grumbled, sniffing the air around him, he was hungry enough to eat a whole restaurant full of people. Of course his soul wouldn't let him do that, so he'd have to settle for blood from a fridge or something. If he could find where the damn kitchens in this place were. He'd had a rough night, he normally slept in the day, but hadn't really had a chance, so he'd decided to catch up in the night, so he'd be fresh for whatever was thrown at him next. Stupid soul seemed intent on sending him insane. Again.

All he ever dreamt about was blood, killing,. the chase, his prey, the pounding of all the blood around him, then he'd dream of sceams, and pleads that he'd ignored. A million faces in terror, all the people he'd kill. He felt guility. But he didn't feel as bad as he should, it just annoyed him. Everyone expected him to feel so bad, to want to repent. He did feel bad, he wouldn't do it again. But he couldn't have helped it. He didn't have a soul then. They were his natraul prey. Did they feel bad about the animals they mass killed for their substance? He doubted it. Did lions feel bad when they ate gazelles? Nope, so he didn't dwell on it. Didn't stop the dreams and the nagging guilty feeling though.

He made it across to the main building as the first rays of light came up. So he'd be hanging round here for the day then. He found the big kitchens. Ignoring all the smells of humans, amongst other things, the heartbeats, voices he could hear, the emotions he could smell and hear, walking to the counter. "Now planet, if I get this straight I just ask for what I want right now." he remembered that mercy chick the day before asking for the sun to be blocked so he could walk around in daylight. He ignored anyone who could have been in there, not really caring if they thought he was crazy.

"Now some O-negative, at body temperature would be bloody beautiful.." He thought about two steaming bags of blood, and could feel himself salivating. Looking around, before starting as he saw his mental picture become reality on the counter before him. He vamped out, smelling the rich scent of blood. Moaning as he found a mug and using a fang to break a whole in the bag and pouring the steaming bag half in. Taking sip, game face still he moaned loudly. Perfect. A little artificial tasting, not real genuine, fresh out of the human, but pretty close, and in a whole different league to pigs blood.

"Okay pet, well steep learning curves and all, 'cos now your talking to one.." He smiled. Pondering her question. "Don't rightly know pet.. just does.. I just work differently from humans is all.." he rolled his eyes at her. "You missed out on punk rock.. all the cool kids wore eyeliner and nail polish.." He laughed. Blowing his own raspberry at her poking his tongue out. His tongue bright red from the blood which had stained it. "And I look great in eyeliner I'll have you know.."

"I won't do sole carer thing but I can do some of that stuff.. back where I come from I used to do that stuff for a girl.. lil' bit was a bit bigger then you, but I took care of her." He said gently. "But you seem to be able to take care of yourself just fine so far.. but you can always ask me pet.. I like you, your some fun.." he laughed, before looking in her eyes again. "But I'll always be there to understand and listen.." He said honestly.

"You sure like this Dex.. how does he cope? Don't worry, their safe, your safe, one day you'll see 'em again.." he smiled to her brightly. He didn't know for sure but he was good at pretending. He looked to the door. "I can get round this building okay, all the inside bits, but the outdoor stretch to the rooms is a little too far.. don't bother the planet.. I can hang round this place for a while.. not much to do at my room."

Giggling, Astor nodded. "Okay, fine, I'll learn fast," she promised. "Were all the cool kids girls?" she teased.

Astor blinked and looked back at him. She'd sort of been hoping he'd contradict her, but she hadn't expected him to, really. "I'm taking care of myself because I have to. I'm trying to be a grown up and I guess I'm not doing too bad, but thanks. It'll be nice to know if I need something, somebody's there," she admitted.

"Dexter doesn't cope. He just waits until he can find a person that deserves to die. And then he kills them," Astor said with a shrug. Sure she liked Dex. He was the only cool grown up she'd ever known until she'd gotten here. "You really think so? There's a man called the Doctor who said he's trying to find a way to get us off the Planet and he promised me he'd bring me home and wouldn't forget me," she said confidently. "I just have to wait until he can figure it out, but he's really, really smart, so it shouldn't be long."

He said he would stay because there wasn't anything to do in his room. "But...won't you get bored?" she asked. "It's a kitchen...there's not even books or TVs or anything," she pointed out.

He laughed at her. "Nope, all the cool kids were the kids who weren't trying to be cool, and I was a cool kid..." he poked his tongue out rebelliously. "I'll explain punk sometime too.." He poked his tongue out at her again.

He smiled to her relaxedly. "Well whenever for whatever, night or day, I tend to be more useful at night, but I can handle daytimes to pet.. 'ent like I got much else to do round here and your pretty cool for a kid.." He stroked her hair again as she seemed to have enjoyed it last time he'd done it.

He listened to what she said about this Dexter guy. "Sounds like that's his coping method. When I had a chip in my head before the soul I killed vampires and demons instead of humans to make me feel better. Helped me cope.." He smiled to her. ".. hitting stuff helps me a lot actually.." He winked to her, trying to ease any of her worries. "Your a good person pet."

He listened to her describe this 'doctor' guy nodding thoughtfully. "Well if he does tell me pet, I'm dying for some action, and I've only been here two days..." he laughed briefly. Nodding thoughtfully. He hadn't really considered how they get away from this planet. It wasn't like they had a spaceship or anything to help.

"Nah, you can get to other rooms without going outside from here pet, plenty to do.." he winked to her. He looked towards the oven over his shoulder. "How long left on your rolls? Soon as their ready we could explore round here for entertainment if you fancy.."

"I guess you should," Astor replied. "Because I definitely don't get it," she added. Boys wearing makeup and nail polish? Man, she thought that if boys did that at her school, they'd get beaten up or something!

Spike told her that he'd be there for her any time, even if he preferred night time, and said she was pretty cool for a kid as he stroked her hair again the same way Mom did at bedtime. Astor's eyes slipped shut again and she smiled a little, leaning into his hand again. "You're pretty cool for a grown up," she replied sincerely.

It would be nice to have a grown up around that would take care of her, even if it wasn't exactly like Mom would take care of her. Astor decided she would take what she could get, especially since Spike understood her.

When he mentioned hitting things, Astor raised an eyebrow. "Like...a punching bag?" she asked, a little confused. It made her feel better that he sounded like he really meant it when he told her that she was a good person, even though he didn't really know her very well.

"I'll tell you for sure!" Astor promised.

She hadn't realized that the rooms were all somehow connected and that Spike wouldn't actually have to go outside to move out of the kitchen. "Ooohh..." she said slowly as she nodded back at him. When he asked about the rolls, Astor blushed. "Um..." she said slowly. "I forgot to set a timer...can you pick me up to look?" she asked. "My mom showed me how to see just in case, one time when she forgot to set a timer," she replied.

"I'll explain it to you." he laughed. He couldn't expect someone her age to understand punk. He laughed again when she said he was pretty cool for a grownup. Rolling his eyes at her. "I'm a hundred and forty something years old.. got nothing better to do then be cool.. being a grown up on the other hand.. I try not to act like one." He winked to her.

"Yeah, punching bags, demons, people but only if their annoying.. and not at full strength.." He said to explain it. He smiled as she promised to tell him when the doctor planned the escape. "I'm sure you will... and if the doctor needs a hand, give me a bell.. I'm pretty keen to get off this rock, and I can do a lot of things a normal human can't."

"No worries pet.." He scooped her up one handedly, opening the oven with the other, easily balancing her on his arm, and pulling the tray out bare handedly with a hiss. "Ouch... hot enough!" He yelped leaving the tray half out on the oven shelf looking at his burnt hand, shaking it as he looked up at the rolls. "They done yet pet? Human cooking isn't a strong point of mine.."

Astor wrinkled her nose and giggled at him. "You sure like sticking your tongue out at people," she teased.

"I could ask the Planet for a punching bag," she said thoughtfully. "It'd be more fun if it was a person, though," she added with an angelic smile as she looked back up at him.

When Spike offered to help the Doctor, she beamed at him. "I'll tell him next time I see him, for sure!" she said excitedly, bouncing up and down on her tippy toes.

Astor grabbed onto Spike's shirt to balance herself when he lifted her up. She waited while he opened the oven and gasped when he reached out and grabbed the tray with his bare hands. "Spike!" she squeaked. "You didn't have to pull it out! I could see from here..." She knew she shouldn't laugh, but she couldn't help herself. Covering her mouth with one hand, she giggled and nodded. "They're done," she managed between giggles.

Quickly, she dropped her hand away. "But don't take 'em out with your bare hands," she insisted, eyes wide. "There's pot holders just there," she giggled, pointing toward the counter where a pair of them had materialized.

He rolled his eyes, laughing at her. "Only at you.. normally I'm very mature, and stand off ish.. well mainly I just say immature things and start fights.. but ah well. I'm wise deep down."

He looked at her. "I'm sure there is a room here we could use with some punching bags.. I can teach you how to fight if you like.. and if your really good and I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside you can punch me sometime.." He laughed to her.

She was bouncing round and her excitement was lost on him, so he just smiled and nodded in a slightly overwhelmed way.

He hissed at her, as she mentioned they were done through the giggles, lifting the trays out one handed, ignoring the pain before she pointed the gloves out. He'd already put the tray's down. "Too late pet.." he shook his hand looking at the sizzling marks on it, the earlier burns starting to heal already, thanks to the recently finished blood. "No matter, be right as rain soon.. " He placed her on the side next to the trays. "Now what?"

Raising her eyebrows doubtfully at him, Astor giggled. "Okay..." she agreed dubiously, drawing out the word unnecessarily as she smirked at him.

When he said he could teach her to fight, Astor's eyes lit up. "Really?! Really, you could teach me?!" she squealed excitedly. "I'd really like that!"

Astor bit her bottom lip against another fit of giggles when he said it was too late to heed her advice and shook his hand, presumably in pain. "Sure you're okay?" she asked as he set her down. "Now...we eat 'em!" she replied with a big grin.

He rolled his eyes to her; looking down at his burnt hand. Licking it to soothe it, looking up at her as she got excited by the idea of learning how to fight.

"Sure why not.." He said with a little smile at her happiness. Looking at the rolls and the remaining blood in his bowl with a little grin. "I taught a bunch of thirteen to fifteen year olds how to fight back in sunnyhell, I can teach you.." He gave his hand one last lick before grabbing a pastry.

"I'll be fine.. I heal extra quick. Won't even be a mark after 10 minutes.." he showed her the redness on his hand, which was already looking not as angry as a fresh burn. He dipped the end of the roll in the blood before biting it off. Chewing it before smiling to her.

"These are nice!" He dipped it again and used it to clear up the dregs of his blood. Licking his lips after wards. "You can make me these again missy.."

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Astor squealed happily, throwing her arms around Spike's waist and hugging him with all the strength she had (which wasn't much considering her tiny frame).

She looked up, without letting go just yet, when Spike said that he'd be fine in a few minutes; that he healed extra quickly. "Cool," she said and finally let go of him, backing away a step or two, and taking a cinnamon roll. She lifted it to her mouth and slowly took it away again as she furrowed her brow and pulled a face, watching Spike dip it into his blood. Ew, he was totally ruining it by doing that!

She looked away and concentrated on the scent filling the kitchen to remind herself how badly she'd wanted the rolls. After a minute, she took a bite and nodded to Spike when he spoke. When she'd swallowed, she looked back up at him slowly, in hopes of not seeing anything she didn't particularly want to. The last thing she wanted was to lose her appetite entirely just because he was eating something different. "Pretty yummy, huh? Maybe I will," she replied with a small, proud smile.

He patted her shoulder a little shocked and bemused. "Anytime pet.." This is why vampires didn't turn children. Too hyper and excitable. Could be pretty fun sometimes though.

He laughed at her face, finished with his blood and not interested in anymore human food he willed the dishes and stuff to go away and sure enough a golem appeared and took them some place, he cocked his head and watched the stone creature leave. It was alive and not alive all at once.

"Yeah, there pretty okay I think pet.." he smiled. "Not as good as some warm o-neg.." He hummed happily licking his lips.

Maybe Dexter wasn't around to teach her to kill, but Spike teaching her to fight was almost just as good, so Astor was happy. Today, so far, was a really good day.

When Spike laughed at her expression, without bothering to finish chewing or swallowing, she pulled another face, opening her mouth wide enough to display the half-chewed food inside. "Don't gross me out," she chastised playfully, giggling when some fell out of her mouth.

	He screwed his face up at her. "That's just unpleasant. I don't need to see how human's digest stuff pet.." He said with a cocked eyebrow, watching as food fell out her mouth. "Fine example of table manners you are.. when I was your age I'd have been caned for that one.." he laughed to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Astor giggled and finished her food, swallowing it before sticking her tongue out at him. "I'd get in trouble if my mom was here but she's not," she said with a mischievous and triumphant smirk. The kind of smirk that said she knew she'd just gotten away with something she'd have been totally grounded for back home. (Reply to this) (Parent)
