A/N Scooby deaths part two!

Inspirations and Dinners.

The group made their way home and Tara casually popped the hood of her trunk to retrieve her struggling pick. Buffy was gleeful in picking up her choice; making sure that Willow heard, she ordered, "Tara go and have your fun. Expect your Grandsire and great-grandsire to grade you."

Tara shook her head in amusement, "It's a burden being part of a family of infamous torturers." Tara tried to keep an earnest look on her face, "Still I only hope I can gain their approval."

Angelus and Spike stood proudly and had a silent conversation; Spike eventually spoke up, "Tara love our room is yours."

A look of delight crossed her face, "Thank you."

The family watched proudly as their youngest member dragged away her victim, with what could only be described as an evil smile spread widely across her face.

Angelus refocused his attention on his hyperactive mate, "What exactly have you pair planned?" The curiosity in his voice pleased Buffy.

"Well Lover we thought long on hard, when inspiration struck during our family movie night."

Spike was snickering, "Saw or Hannibal?"

Buffy smirked back, "If I said I would like the family to join me for a dinner would that answer the question."

Spike linked arms with his mate, "We would be honoured to join you and pa for Dinner. Wes you going to find your mate or will you join us?"

Wes pondered the question for a moment, "I think I'll let her take out her anger in peace."

What a scene it was, Willow was hog-tied to the chair and all they could hear was the occasional whimper. She was surrounded by four vampires and Buffy all sat casually talking about what they intended o do in the near future.

Angelus pointed out logically, "We'll have to finishing cleaning house by tomorrow. You know we need to collect the kids from your father's dimension."

A piercing scream filled the air; all fed/savoured the terror coming off Willow. Ignoring her protests Buffy carried on, "Yeah I know. I have court scheduled next week. What's your plans?"

Angelus shrugged, "Well remember me and William had to deal with a little discipline problem before we left."She nodded her head, "Well I have always favoured a more pro-active approach."

Fred started sniggering, "You'll want to think about installing a drain in the office or, maybe employing a cleaning staff on demand."

Buffy was amused, "I know the blood splatter from the last one would have played havoc on my carpet. Why do you think he has a walled off office."

Willow had been tied down but she finally found her voice, "Why Buffy this isn't you?"

This start them all off laughing Buffy was exasperated, "Why can't they get it through their thick skulls?"

Angelus who by this time had contained his laughs to light snickers, "Well Lover you were their precious white-hat leader. Now . . . well let's just say that your defection has mortally wounded their souls."

Buffy looked at her former best friend, "You just don't get it. You ripped me from heaven. It's only because I found my mate and true family I haven't tried to get back. Still one last thing you should know before I bleed you dry." Buffy lowered so she could whisper the last bit in her ear, "You brought the first evil to this plane by resurrecting me."

Spike gave his sire a proud smile, "We gotta give Tara her due. She's made the fodder scream continually for five minutes."

They heard the chocking gurgling sound that signified Tara had finished having her allotted fun. Buffy stood up excited "Be back in a minute."

She grabbed a power tool, a bag and a silver tray on her down to the torture room.


The group could here a conversation, they heard Tara curiously ask, "Will we make her eat it?"

"Who cares but her screams and terror should feed me till next week."

The remaining vampires left in the dinning room decided to continue their chatter. Angelus felt that it was necessary to let Willow know just what fate that would befall Xander.

After twenty minutes, Tara and Buffy rejoined the others. Tara went and sedately sat next to her mate having wanted to get the maximum enjoyment that Buffy's final meal would bring.

Buffy sat the tray down with a tiny flourish; she figured the Devil was in the detail.

"Dinner is served."

On the silver tray dead centre was her lovers head surrounded by roast potatoes, shallots and side of greens.

Angelus was delighted by the surprise, "Lover I can honestly say I'm impressed. You've taken mental torture to a new level. We should have a movie night more often."

Spike was gleeful, "Pet I'm with pops but what about our dinner?"

Buffy tutted amazed at the stupidity being shown, "I thought you knew me better than that," pointing to Willow, "She's right here. Now step right up. All you need is a cup and you can even choose the vein."

Angelus advised the younger vamps which vein to choose so they would all get fresh live blood. The screaming became annoying so Buffy choose to gag her victim. The terror sadly caused such a rush of adrenaline that Wes the last one in line never got his fill.

Buffy was apologetic, "I'm sorry I promised you fresh blood."

Wes waived away her apology, "Relax I dined out earlier."

"SO you did. Okay now I don't feel so bad."

Buffy knew the violence and blood was arousing her mate and at best, she had only a few minutes before she was dragged away. The nuzzling on her neck was the first indication, Angelus barely got out a, "Enjoy your nights kid."

Spike watched the pair run up the stairs, "There is an age old adage. If you can't beat them, join them."

It was perhaps the only advice that could be given. Besides tomorrow, his sire was going after the irritating boy and he had been given permission to have a ringside seat.

A/N Well as always feedback is welcome. By my reckoning, this story has one last chapter as there is only one scooby left.
