Spike was more than prepared to knock Jared off of his feet when he charged at him, but the vampire opted to jump up at him and send a kick to his back instead. Since Spike had been expecting an alternate attack, he took the blow to the left of his shoulder and stumbled forward a few steps. Then he quickly turned, threw his arms out into the air, and grabbed hold of Jared's leg just before it hit it's mark. He pushed him back, releasing his grip as he did so, and launched himself at the vampire, the deafening sound of his heartbeat filling Spike's ears as he moved.
His right fist made a move for the side of Jared's head, then he quickly dropped down, placed a palm onto the pavement, and swung his legs out at Jared's feet in an attempt to knock him onto the ground.
"Faster! Come on!" Spike snapped, arms out in front of him again.
