Just FYI, I won't be posting anything over the weekend, mostly because I've got stuff to do and I won't have a lot of time to be on the computer this weekend.

Sorry again for the delay.

( Wherein Alex and Spike have a peaceful interlude...Alex has a bad dream...the Cavalry arrives...Alex flips out when he meets the new superheroes...there's a small argument in the car...and Alex sees the beginning of the end of the world... )

Your eyes are not deceiving you. It is now 8 parts instead of 7. This part came in slightly too long and had to be split. Sorry.

( Wherein Alex discovers a new ability to lie...Spike reveals the awful truth about vampires...Alex admits to having bad dreams...and Spike reacts poorly to the Alex's news... )

( Wherein Alex recovers from his wounds...Spike and Alex are running below the radar...Spike tells Alex they're going to L.A...Spike announces that he needs to eat...Alex escapes...Alex slays his first vampire...and Spike begins to despair... )

Summary: Alex Hill is an ordinary man with an ordinary life, until the day Spike rescues him from an army of demons who think he’s someone named Xander Harris.

( Where in Alex lives his ordinary life...Spike kidnaps Alex...Spike tells Alex that monsters want to kill him...Spike talks and acts crazy...Spike catches Alex trying to escape...Alex is attacked by monsters...Spike has to stop for the night after Alex is seriously injured in the attack... )
