Something Unexpected
CHAPTER TEN
Angelus laid in wait in the bushes, he noticed one of the baby slayers. She was a pretty young thing, long raven coloured hair and brown eyes that twinkled under the light of the full moon. He knew exactly how he'd play with this one, but unfortunately for him time was of the essence and there was definitely no time for play.
He stood on a twig hoping the sound would alert the young slayer, when it seemed not have the desired affect he shook the bush he was hiding behind.
"Hello" she said apprehensively
Angelus shook the bush again.
"Is somebody there?" She asked, raising her crossbow shakily.
Angelus just knew she was a newbie and hadn't had much training in crossbow's. He stifled a giggle and shook the bush one more time.
The raven haired Slayer backed up a few paces and took out the Walkie Talkie from her pocket. "Possible vamp, in the woodland area down by the left of the hotel. I'm going to check it out, over"
She fiddled with the device putting it back into her jeans pocket as she took tentative steps forward raising her crossbow once more.
"Hello?" She called again.
Angelus emerged suddenly grabbing the young slayer and pulling her towards him "Haven't you seen horror movies?" He asked "Whenever something scary happens you don't say Hello"
He slipped into game face "That's how people die" he said plunging his fangs into the girl's neck
"Amateur" he scoffed dropping her lifeless body to the floor.

Buffy walked for what seemed like hours, she had so many things running through her head and most of them had to do with Angelus she'd become so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Drusilla following close behind.
She got to the gate of the graveyard before she got the tingling feeling on the back of her neck. She sensed the vampire was old, automatically she thought of Angelus.
She whirled around to see nobody standing there, she sighed heavily "Okay I'm done playing games! Just show yourself so I can kick your ass" she yelled
"Tsk Tsk" Drusilla admonished waving her finger at Buffy as she left the shadows "Sunshine must not be so confident"
"Drusilla?" Buffy gasped "But you can't be here, you're... You're dead"
"Yes I am" Drusilla said smiling, slipping into game face.
"It's a trick" Buffy said trying to convince herself "Angelus has done something, tryina throw me off track again... Spike killed you"
"My William did no such thing" said Drusilla beginning to circle Buffy "He let me run free" she chuckled

Angelus left a trail of broken bodies around the old hotel in the countryside. He reached the back of the hotel and noticed an old cellar hatch with a rusty padlock on it. Without breaking a sweat he kicked the lock off it and climbed inside

Most of the gang surrounded the dining table, eating a wholesome meal cooked by Robson's wife Elena.
"You eat up" Elena said "There's spotted dick for desert" she chuckled
"Spotted what now?" Asked Xander
"It's a suet pudding made with currants" Andrew smiled
"And how the heck did you know that?" Asked Xander
"Because I happen to be cultured" Andrew said smugly
"Yeah that and Brain Boy over here googled it" said Faith swiping Andrew's phone and resting it on the table
"Oh we're out of wine, Robson be a dear and go down to the cellar and grab some?" Asked Elena
"I'll go" Xander offered "I'm not big with the spotted dick thing anyways" he smirked.

Xander followed the steps down into the cellar and saw a wine rack in front of him.
"This would be a great time to know my Chardonnay from my Cabernet Sauvignon..." He sighed grabbing two bottles
Xander heard footsteps behind him.
"Elena I'm not sure which you wanted. Chardonnay or..." He turned around to see Angelus in game face stood in front of him
"I'd go with a nice red? Maybe a Rioja?" Said Angelus hitting him over the head with a bottle of wine. "That guy just bugs me"

Buffy stood glued to the same spot as before "Let me get this straight" she said firmly "You endangered our daughter and he let you off scot free?"
"My sweet Willy loves his dark princess" Drusilla smiled still circling Buffy "never do anything to hurt her"
"Yeah?" Buffy said punching Drusilla sending her soaring into a tombstone "Well I'm not him!"
She pulled Drusilla up and began punching her repeatedly "Where is he?" Buffy bellowed
"Not supposed to tell" Drusilla taunted
Buffy punched her again and whipped out a stake "You're gunna tell me where he is before I poke this wooden stick through your heart"
"Kill me and never find out"
Buffy grabbed her by the throat "Tell me now" she said in desperation
Drusilla chuckled heartily "He's where the power is"
Buffy plunged the stake through Drusilla's heart turning her to dust.

Spike paced the room, keeping a watchful eye on the crib where Peyson slept. He paced a few more times before getting her out and dashing down the stairs into the dining room.
"Is Buffy back yet?" He asked the group, putting Peyson in her stroller.
"Not yet... Is there something wrong?" Asked Dawn
"I dunno... Yeah I think..."
"You think what?" Asked Giles
"It's Dru" said Spike
"What about her? Last I heard she got the pointy end of your stake" said Faith
"What?" Asked Spike
"Yeah, Buffy said you killed her" Faith told him
"I didn't kill her. I tried to but... I couldn't" he admitted
"So Drusilla's still alive?" Asked Willow
"No. I think Buffy just staked her" said Spike
"How do you know?" Dawn questioned
Spike was struggling to form an answer.
"There's a bond between a Sire and her kin is very powerful, there's a blood tie there" Giles explained "Maybe the reason why you felt her passing is because of that bond"
"I just felt it a part of me is gone, it's Dru I'm telling you" said Spike mournfully
"Are you seriously gunna be pissed at Buffy for killing Drusilla?" Dawn piped up "Need I remind you the reason why we're here? Your psychotic ex girlfriend burned our home to the ground with your daughter and the woman you claim to love inside!"
"I loved her for over a hundred years Nibblet!" Spike argued
"Oh so that makes everything okay?" Dawn spat "Where the hell is Xander with that wine?!"
Angelus entered the room hitting Spike in the head with a gun that he'd found hanging in the hallway "Knock knock" he smiled

Buffy raced back to the old hotel where she found many of the slayer's surrounding the building.
"Buffy!" Vi yelled
"What's going on?" She asked
"A few of the girls on patrol have neck trauma" Vi informed her
"He's here isn't he?" She asked
Vi nodded "From what we can gather... Angelus is in the building"
Buffy paused for a moment "Alright who's in there?"
"Everyone" Vi said softly
"Okay... I'm going in" she told her
Twenty or so vampire's started to surround the building.
"On second thoughts I better stick around" Said Buffy sizing them up
"What about Angelus?" Vi asked
"Spike can take him"

Faith went to attack Angelus, he backhanded her and sent her soaring across the room.
"Ah Faithy" he smiled fondly "Stay down!" He ordered
Angelus began to usher the gang into the living room pointing the large shotgun at them as they went.
"C'mon kiddies I haven't got all day" he rolled his eyes "Rupert, old English guy. Do me a favour grab Spike I need him close by"
Giles and Robson picked Spike's lifeless body up from the floor and dragged him into the living room.
"Oh Dawn-ie" Angelus sang
"It's Dawn" she spat
"No need to be so testy Dawnie" he said stroking her face lightly, making her squirm "Get the kid"
Dawn did as she was told and pushed Peyson's stroller into the living room. Angelus blocked the door when everyone was inside.
"Now you're all gunna sit here quietly whilst we wait for Slutty the vampire layer. Anybody moves I'll kill you" he chuckled
