Day 9: Drusilla
She's nuts, but our girl Dru knows what's going on! Set post S2 Buffy.
My Spikey is in love… But not with me. He hasn't been in love with me for a dreadfully long time, ever since he met that little blonde slayer. It all changed when he saw her. Everything was so good, so, so good… and that little bitch went and ruined it all! Spike and I were at the top of our game, wreaking havoc among the mortals, oh yes it was delicious. Spikey killed two slayers in the last century, and through it all, he stayed with me. He didn't have to, oh no, he could have gone off, become a real leader for our kind, but he stayed with me instead. He stayed because he loved me. Now? Well, now he stays because he can't have the one he really loves. Are you the only one, now? Are you the only one that truly loves me still Miss Edith? Of course… I can see it in your eyes. Wealth of knowledge behind that glass. You know the things that we don't, oh yes… You can see the stars and they're aligning. They're aligning for change, Miss Edith. Things are going to be different.
My Spikey is in love with a Slayer… madly so, one might say. He could kill her, easily, she's by far the smallest and youngest Slayer of the century… but he doesn't. No, I'm telling lies, Miss Edith, it's not that he doesn't, it's that he can't. He'd never admit it, oh no, but it's there, plain as day. Spike is in love with Buffy, and not with me. Never with me. I remember when things were good, Miss Edith. Don't you? Don't you remember when our Spikey wasn't a lovesick puppy? You must remember, remember the days when he'd rip out the heart of a virgin, bring it to me on a silver platter. You must remember the days when I was all that mattered. I tried to talk to him about it, but he got all defensive and the like… he won't have the half of it Miss Edith. He's being a very bad boy, not believing his Drusilla. He believes the stars shine out of Buffy Summers' every orifice, perhaps they do Miss Edith, maybe we just can't see them.
No matter. We don't need him anymore Miss Edith. We can take over the world without Spike, because it's time for things to change. He was the top dog for far too long, my lovely. It's my turn to take the stake.
Hope that was alright, kind of short, but Dru is ever so interesting, I was scared if I wrote more it would become a novel. Glory tomorrow – should be fun, we'll see some Buffy-Ben-Glory confusion, which I totally love. "Ben is Glory?"
