The vampires were having fun with their take-out from the mall. They'd scored a Santa and a kid. His screams were sweeter than any Christmas carol.
Dust powdered the air where one vampire had been. A game-faced Spike caught the child as he fell.
"Hey! What was that for?" The remaining vampire squawked with righteous indignation -- cut short when a stake flew through his heart.
"You ok?" Spike staunched the blood flowing from an unconscious Santa.
"You one of Santa's elves?"
"I'm not! I'm a champion."
"Is that like a superhero?"
"Kinda like that ... yeah. Only better dressed."
