*Melpomene gasped for air as she rolled on her back, facing the sky. A dark cloud drifted away from the moon and it's silvery light illuminated the graveyard. The raven haired lay three feet away from the grave she had just climbed out. Her ivory skin was covered with dirt, her nails were broken and ripped, all her muscles were aching and she breathed to fast to actually get some air in. She was alive, but why?*

*Melpomene's eyes fluttered open as a haunted moan escaped her lips. What had happened? All she remember was pain, her neck and then the dark. She had been scared in the dark. And then a voice, a harsh and cruel voice, it had taunted her, told her that she was not yet done. She had woken up in a small space, there was hardly any air and she couldn't get out. She had kicked and screamed but nobody came to help. When she had finally broken the rotten wood and dug her way through the dirt she had realized that she had been lying in a grave, her grave. Mel shut her eyes again and tried to calm her breathing, she needed to get some help. With a broken voice she softly called out.*
"Help, somebody, help."

*Buffy's ears perked up when she heard the cry. She was trolling the cemetery for any vamps that weren't on the no-hit list, but when she heard the feminine moan she was off towards it. When she found the girl, lying in the fresh remains of a newly-dug grave, her face hardened. Luring the hapless to her side, was she? Smart, for a new vamp, but hardly going to get her sympathy.
She stood over the girl, legs astide, and looked down.*
"So, it's the helpless act, is it?"

*Melpomene looked up and stared at the blond girl who towered above her, in the pale moonlight she looked like an angel coming to safe her. But there was something in the tone of voice that the girl had used that sounded threatening. So Mel's instincts took over and she crawled away from the angel, looking like a scared beaten puppy.*
"What? I don't understand. I woke up."
*Her voice was still cracking, but her breathing had slowed down and the pain in her limbs had become less.*

*The vamp n00b scurried away, as well she might, but her reaction was most unlike that of most of them in Buffy's experience. Usually, their bloodlust was strong enough to overcome any residual fear of the coffin, of their previous lives. Buffy crouched down, carefully just out of reach, stake at the ready.*
"Bet you're hungry, huh?" *she asked, almost gently. The vamp seemed so scared.*

"Hungry? I'm not hungry."
*Mel said as tears filled her eyes. She was very close to going hysterical, it was all to much! The coffin, the grave and now this woman. Her mind was just filled with confusion and fear.*
"Please, I just need help."

*Buffy felt a twinge of sadness for the vamp. The best way to help would be to kill her now. But she remembered Sarah, and suddenly everything she thought she knew about vampires was thrown into doubt. Things weren't right here.
And anyway, she was a Slayer. She could off this vampire any time she wanted.*
"You don't want to, say, suck my blood or anything?"

*Hello hysteria. Melpomene started to sob and crawled even further away from the blond woman, her face wrung into a not so pretty mask of fear and madness.*
"No! You are crazy. Please don't hurt me, please. I'll do anything, just don't kill me."
Again.

*Well, she sure felt like a vampire. But Buffy's senses had been muddied ever since she got her. Part of being dead herself, she figured. Or whatever. She tucked the stake back into her sleeve and held up her hands.*
"Okay, okay. No hurting. I promise. See, maybe you're not listening to me right now, but it's my job to... get rid of... people who want to hurt other people. And frankly, you kind of look like one. But if you're not all fangy, I won't hurt you. Okay? I mean, is that a deal?" *She kept forgetting there were words they didn't use here, like "okay."*

*Mel didn't stop sobbing, but she did nod in agreement even though she hadn't understand everything the woman had just said.*
"I don't hurt people, people hurt me."

"I know it seems like that, sometimes," *said Christine.* "But... you are a vampire, aren't you?"

((Christine?))
*Mel looked up to Buffy with big red puffy eyes.*
"I don't think I am. I just died and now I am back."

((LOL what? I have no idea where that came from. I don't even play her.))
"Well, that usually means you're a vampire. People don't just come back to life, y'know?" *She saw the girl about to collapse in on herself again, and tried to soften it.* "Well, it should be easy to tell." *She drew the silver cross from beneath her shirt and quickly held it to Mel's arm.*

*Melpomene looked down at the cross that was now touching her dirt stained skin and was doing, well nothing. Mel had almost believed she had been a vampire, it would have explained a lot, but now she was back where she started. Scared and back from the dead on some graveyard in Paris.*
