My eyes snapped open instinctively. Where did he go? I was looking into his eyes one minute then....then? I tried to think of what had occurred after that, but the memory evaded me for now. I tried to move and found that I couldn't. Where in hell was I?

I checked my memories. I knew who I was, how old I was, where I'd been born. Kay, that was all well and good, but where in hell was I? I looked up to see wood. Wood?

Oh, god! I was in a coffin! A freakin coffin! Images flashed through my mind as the realization hit me of where I was.

He had me pinned underneath his weight and was grinning at me, his game face appearing. "Please," I whispered. "Shhh, it won't hurt for long." he whispered, his hand coming up to stroke my cheek. Then I felt the fangs.

He had been right. It hadn't hurt for long, in fact, after the initial shock, I was given over to pure pleasure. I could hear my labored breathing and my heart slowing. Then I felt his hands guided my head to his chest where an open wound bled freely. I drank, not even trying to refuse anymore, I was to far gone for it.

So now, I realized, I lay in my coffin where I had been buried, thought to be dead by all who knew me. I struggled to break free of the confines, the demon wailing up in me and wanting release. I felt air brush my fingers as I broke ground and growled triumphantly as the rest of my body followed quickly.

I stood in the full moon's light and gazed around still a bit dazed. I looked down at what I wore and saw it was the dress I'd worn to kill the Master in. I snorted, we'd have to change my wardrobe later. I turned as a noise alerted me to someone else's presence.

I smiled broadly as he stepped from the shadows. He gave me the once over and smiled back. His arms came around me, pulling me close and he kissed me. My fangs cut his lip and I tasted his blood, resulting in a low growl from me. He answered, our noises almost like those of a wolf pack at feeding time.

We pulled apart and he took my hand. We left the Sunnydale graveyard behind us as he took me for my first hunt as one of the undead. Just before we began our games, I asked, "After this, you want top or bottom." He grinned at me, getting my unspoken message and replied, "Both."
