RATING: PG-13

Lindsey looked at all the dead bodies that were laying at his feet, and then back up at the two vampiress that were watching him intently.

"What shall we do with him grandmother?" Drusillia asked as she hummed to herself, and licked the blood off her fingers. "Hum?"

Lindsey listened to them talk with mild interest that didn't show in his expression. What they did to him he had no control over, so it didn't matter and made it pointless to be afraid of. It might cause physical pain, but beyond that he didn't care. Darla had made it very clear that she didn't really like Lindsey, and Lindsey has listened to Holland. In the end he knew he'd rather die then become like Angelus.

"I don't know." Darla answered as she started to circle Lindsey with a predatorily gleam in her eyes. "Even now there is no fear in him. Why is that Lindsey? Why aren't you afraid of us?"

"Why should I be?" Lindsey questioned. "Because you'll kill me? I don't even care."

"Oh you're a bad boy to speak to grandmother in such a way." Drusillia said upset. "The stars say you deserve to die."

"We could change him."Darla mussed as she moved in closer to Lindsey who stood perfectly still and brushed her hand through his hair. "Make him like us. Start a new family."

"Angelus would be very displeased." Drusillia reminded Darla." As would the Angel-beast."

Lindsey personally thought that these two were more dangerous then Angelus, maybe more then five of them because they were both insane. Then again he'd never met Angelus so things could change.

"Yes, Angel would be most displeased." Darla said smiling as she vamped and brushed her fangs lightly on Lindsey's neck. He didn't move staying still. Darla pulled away and went back to her human face. "However, that will not be enough."

"Oh." Drusillia said getting excited. "Does grandmother have a plan?"

"I want Angelus back." Darla replied. "I'll do anything to get him. I'm putting my family back together."

"We'll paint the world red." Drusillia answered dreamily. "The stars say so." Drusillia gave Darla and evil grin before sitting down on the floor and looking up at Lindsey. "Do we kill him now?"

"No. Angel killed me to protect his girlfriend. The Slayer. Bitch!" Darla snarled suddenly as she vamped out once more. "He killed me for her! A human girl."

Lindsey hadn't known how Darla had come to be dusted by Angel simply that it was what had happened. Now he started to think Angel and Faith? Why would Angel have dated Faith, and how did that lead to them trying to kill each other?

"The Slayer hurt my Spike." Drusillia whimpered. "Spike betrayed Daddy to the Slayer. He reeks of her now."

"Spike and the Slayer?" Darla asked in disbelief. "What hold does she have on vampires that she would presume to change their nature?"

"She hurt him." Drusillia whimpered. "What about the nasty Slayer?"

"We're going to bring her, or rather Lindsey is going to bring her here." Darla answered. "Aren't you Lindsey?"

"She's already in LA." Lindsey answered thinking of the prison cell that Faith inhabited. "She's a killer."

"What are you talking about?" Darla asked more interested in what Lindsey knew then playing with his mind.

"Last spring Wolfram and Heart got information on a rouge slayer. She'd kill anything. Angel was in the way. We bought her, but then Angel did his soul searching gig with her and she turned herself in. She now lives a rather dull life in prison." Lindsey told them. "Faith had skills though. It was a shame she let Angel change her."

"That must have been painful for him." Darla mussed absently. "His blonde slayer the perfect symbol of light, and goodwill trying to kill him."

"Blonde?" Lindsey questioned. "Faith is a brunette. Angel said she had always been in the dark. He brought her into the light."

"Darla contemplated torturing Lindsey for having the bad sense to tell her this and destroy her plans.

"All the good it did for Angel to kill me she's still dead." Darla mussed. "That's alright. We can come up with another plan."

"The stars sing to me." Drusillia sang as she stood and danced over to Darla. "They say she that she lives. There are two now. she was a bad Slayer, dying and not staying dead."

"Slayers are the plague of vampires." Darla spat in fury." Two of them. She still lives."

"I've heard of her." Lindsey said suddenly. "Faith tried to kill Angel the other Slayer put her in a coma. Lets just say Faith wasn't pleased about it."

"Well Lindsey, sense you know about Slayers you'll be perfect for the job." Darla said gleefully." I'd use your charm Lindsey. What are you 23 or 24?"

"Twenty three." Lindsey answered. "I graduated early."

"Well she's not much younger." Darla said happily, "And I'm sure you can be charming. You just charmed your way out of death. Not even Angel managed that."

"From what I understand he didn't try very hard." Lindsey answered. "So where is the Slayer?"

"Sunnydale." Drusillia answered. "She's killing vampires."

"She's a Slayer Dru." Darla reminded her. "Which is why we aren't going. I don't think I could keep the plan in mind when she's smart mouthing."

"Why do all hell spawns come from Sunnydale?" Lindsey muttered. "Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, and Faith."

"Sunnydale is the hellmouth." Drusillia murmured. "The Slayer keeps hell from the world. She sings of death, and dances with it every night."

Lindsey watched Drusillia and Darla with caution. Why they were sending him to get the Slayer he didn't know, but he gathered from what they were saying that death would have been the better end of the deal. Lindsey had never been to Sunnydale, but he knew Holland had been upset about if awhile the year before last. Something about the end of the world. Apparently the Slayer had stopped that. No wonder she got along so well with Angel.

"Well Lindsey get going." Darla advised. "I'm starting to think that you may fail. Lindsey, you don't want to fail."

Drusillia vamped out and pushed the doors open splintering the frames and leaving a clear path for Lindsey to walk out.

Lindsey ignored the vampiress that snarled playfully at him as he passed her by.

"Run and catch, run and catch the lamb is caught int the blackberry patch." Drusillia sang softly. "When you come back we'll have a party."

Lindsey walked out of the building, making a brief stop in the security office so that he could remove the tapes for the evening before getting into his car and driving out of LA. He stopped to get gas, and buy a map. Where the hell was Sunnydale anyway?
