Another cemetery, another leech
Ann laughed when Elissa mentioned tattooing a cross on herself.
"Sorry, I just had an image of a vamp attacking you, then another rising in your body and being all pleased with herself for a moment before she spotted her new body's tattoo. It would have just enough time to give a Willie Coyote look at the camera before it became flame-grilled."
"But it looks good. That collar should also keep away fangs from you. Perhaps we should try to start a fashion of collars or chokers. It might give the girls of this town a little more time if they run into the wrong type of stranger in a darkened alley."
At the question of Ann's preferred type of man, she gave a slight shrug of her shoulders.
"I guess tall, dark, handsome and rich would be a good start. Clever and funny would be a nice bonus. And since no other girls like those things, I get to have my pick. But really, I just want someone to spend some time with. Not fighting vampires in cemeteries time, but quality time, romantic time. Holding hands on long walks, going for a meal at Wimpy. Someone to make me feel like a normal girl for a little while, that I'm important to him, not the whole world."
She took another sip of her lager.
"But he'd better get a move on, or he's likely to find that I've gone the way of the other Slayers."
She looked about the club.
"Not many Warren Betty lookalikes here. So what's your ideal type then? One these punks, maybe?"
