Lindsey McDonald stared at the blonde woman as she paced about the room. She was under a lot of pressure. Drusilla, made her into a vampire seeing that her vampire body was already dying. Now she was the demon she feared becoming again but only accepted it because Dru thought it was what she wanted. But really all she wanted was to die in peace, have a second chance at dying naturally without having to go through Hell all over again. Lindsey didn't want her to suffer. He felt she didn't deserve too and maybe that was why he was spared. He hated seeing Darla punish herself over what she was.
"What are you thinking?" he whispered, desperate to hear her sweet voice.
She turned to him, her chest trying to breathe. Her old self was trying to get used to the fact that she didn't breathe oxygen anymore, but only felt blood. Darla waved her head, looking innocently at Lindsey. "I was just remembering that time in your office, when I was staring out the window and I was able to see my reflection."
He smiled, "I remember that. I saw it too but I didn't want to scare you..."
"And the kiss we shared," she interrupted, walking to him. Darla felt his chest, unbuttoning his shirt, "Do you remember?"
"I do."
"And what about now? You're probably wandering why I spared your life. Why didn't I let Drusilla snap your neck?"
Lindsey nodded his head, "I wasn't afraid. I care but I don't."
"Aren't you afraid of me? I could kill you at any given moment and you'd never be able to stop me." she paused, feeling his neck with her hands, "I think that's why you like me, Lindsey. I seem sweet on the outside but on the inside, I'm a killer. I kill, I murder, and torture but you still want more. You're the only one I've known besides Angel to know the real me and not be afraid of it,"
"Why is that, Lindsey? Why aren't you afraid?" she questioned.
A smirk crossed his face, nodding his head again, "I don't know. I guess it's because I know you. Or used to know the real you,"
"I've killed so many. I don't remember any of their faces or names, but they were there - at the wrong time. But you don't care, do you? You want to be here, don't you? To be here, hearing my sweet voice?" she whispered into his ear, as he kissed her chest. Darla pulled back hesitantly, staring at him. "Why don't you say it? Why don't you say what you always wanted to tell the minute you saw me?"
He hesitated, unsure what she was talking about until he realized it. Lindsey gripped her neck, soothingly tickling it with his fingers, "I love you. I want you." Lindsey stood up from the desk, dropping her on the floor, "I've always wanted you. I would have said something before but Angel...you still felt kinship to him and I didn't want to get in the way,"
She heaved, staring up at him, "So, what's stopping you now, Lindsey? I'm right here, not helpless but I'm here. I know you want to. I can feel it. Your pulse is racing just a little bit faster, staring at me and it's driving you crazy," Darla stood up, removing her blouse, "Do it Lindsey! Do it NOW. Nothing's stopping you. I won't."
He nodded, "I can't. I want to but I can't,"
"Why? Is it because I'm not the same Darla you knew? Not the same girl you could easily take advantage of?" she growled, confronting him. She pulled him closer to her, "I'm still that Darla, Lindsey. I'm just not alive,"
Lindsey tried to back away but he couldn't. She held him firmly, "And I think that's what scares you. You're afraid of me - of what I've become,"
"No, I'm not. I just..."
"What? Don't want to take advantage of me?" she purred, kissing his chest again, "That's a little late, don't ya think? You already have. I'm just returning the favor,"
"Lindsey, in your office we were close, but I resisted because I was scared - just like you are now," she continued. Darla bent back, "It's too late for taking back what was done, Lindsey. I already know how you feel, so you mine as well act like you still have some feeling for me,"
Finally, Lindsey gave in a little, staring intensely at Darla. He knew he couldn't act around her. She knew him too well and vice versa. He grabbed her neck, causing Darla to squirm a bit before he kissed her, more strongly and more passionate than the first. Darla felt his body heat. It was rising, boiling for more of her. "Now, I'm yours," she whispered into his ear, dragging him to the floor....
***He watched Darla as she stared out the glass window. She had been taken out of her room, because almost all the mirrors were smashed and the room was a mess. She was beginning to lose her sanity, the beginning to feel the burden of her soul.
"Darla?" he asked.
She flinched, "What? Say it again?"
"I said your name. Darla."
She smiled, "You know I don't even remember my human name. I was Darla for so long. I just became that creature - that thing,"
Darla turned to him. "What did you bring back, Lindsey? What am I? Did you bring back that girl, whose name I can't remember? Or did you bring back something else? The other thing."
He nodded, "Both. Neither. You're just you. Whatever that is."
"Why haven't you kissed me? You've been dying for it, haven't you?"
A kiss. He had been dying to kiss her but he was too scared. " I didn't know if you wanted me to."
"Why should that matter? Do you think I ever hesitated when I wanted something? Life's too short. Believe me, I know. Four hundred years and still too short."
Lindsey stepped forward and kissed her softly.
"Mmm, that's how humans get what *they* want. I remember that much."
He kissed her again... ***
Lindsey couldn't believe his luck. He loved Darla for so long and now, to finally have her, it still felt like he didn't. It felt like she was using him to get back at Angel, but he knew that couldn't be true. Darla wasn't like that or was she? He wasn't sure. What he did know was that she was who she was. Darla, a sweet innocent child snatched from innocence made to be a killer. And her life was beginning again. He touched her golden hair, feeling strands fall through his fingers.
Last year, he hadn't really expected to find someone like Darla. There was Lila Morgan, his associate but that's all she was and she was dead now. And then Wolfram & Heart conjured Darla back from Hell. It was hard for her at first - to be alive again, but he helped her through it. Now, he wanted to help her again - be by her side forever. If being a vampire was what it took to be with her always, he would. At least he'd see her sweet face every morning and every night. That was his reward.
Darla was what he wanted. She made him whole, a feeling he hadn't felt in so long - maybe because Wolfram & Heart took that feeling away when he joined. She gave it back to him, she gave everything back to him. He wanted to give her everything in return, nothing held back.
"Lindsey, are you awake?" she asked.
He smiled, "Yeah. I am. I was just thinking about you," kissing her neck.
She turned to him, smiling, "I know. I sensed your feelings. I know what you want and I'm glad you want it," Darla paused, pulling him closer to her, "I don't want to fight Angel alone and look after Dru by myself can be a torture sometimes. I want you with me. I want you by my side."
"I want to be by your side. I want to be with you always," he whispered, brushing away her golden hair.
Darla smiled, pulling his neck to one side. Her face changed, showing her vampire self. As she pulled closer, she stopped - feeling his heart beat again. "No. I can't do this. I was human once. I can't take your humanity away from you. You'll become a killer like me, lusting after blood and souls until the day someone stakes you,"
He gasped, "I thought you wanted me,"
She nodded, turning away, "I do, Lindsey, but not like that. I don't want you to be cursed like I am, again,"
"Darla, I don't care as long as I'm with you,"
She turned to him in her vampire form, nodding no, "But you will care, Lindsey. You will care. Life is too precious to me taken likely of. I know. It can be stopped in a heart beat." Darla paused, "You'll never know what it would feel like to walk in sun light, to look at yourself in the mirror, to not feel your pulse as you once had. All of it will be gone if I make you, give you a new life of darkness,"
Lindsey nodded, "I don't care. Wolfram & Heart took my life away all ready. I stopped feeling those things all long time ago," he paused, "except when I'm with you. I feel those things again. I feel alive,"
She snapped, growling angrily at him, "And what will you feel when I drain the life out of you, Lindsey? Not much. Except pain, a new pain of killing more and feeling the need to sustain your own life. I know. I've lived that life for 400 years,"
"And I want it!" He whispered, kissing her arm.
Darla froze, not even taking notice of his advances, "You have no idea what you are asking, Lindsey. No idea, except a painted fantasy of what you think it will be like,"
Lindsey kissed her chest, "If you didn't want to give me that life, then why did you spare me?"
She smiled, pulling him off her, "Like I said, I thought I'd return the favor,"
"You lied to me. You played me,"
Darla laughed, "And that's a surprise to you? I'm a vampire Lindsey. I haven't lived 400 years without learning a trick or two."
"And what about Angel? Are you just going to let him hunt you and Drusilla down? Wolfram & Heart won't offer you solace. You've betrayed them."
She turned to him, "I didn't even want Wolfram & Heart's solace in the first place! I didn't want to come back here. You and senior partners brought me back. I didn't want to be here."
He touched her shoulder, "I want you to be here,"
"And for how long? How long until Angel hunts me down and kills me? It'll probably take awhile. His soul prevents him from killing. He can't kill me, but he can easily kill you because you work for them,"
Lindsey nodded no, "I don't. Not anymore. I'm just me,"
Darla nodded, "You're not. You want to be a monster, like me,"
"You're not a monster, Darla,"
She laughed, facing him again, "And you think my forehead is bumpy for no reason? Plastic surgery didn't make this, baby. A Vampire did and if I kill you, there's no turning back,"
"There already is no turning back."
Darla froze, "Put your clothes on, Lindsey. I want to show you something," and she left, pulling on her blouse, pants and jacket.
**
Lindsey followed Darla as she walked down the dark streets of LA. It seemed like she was trying to save his life, his soul. She really did care about him under her demon exterior. There was a soul there - a small one but it was there. He reawakened it. Darla turned to him, frowning. She cocked her head.
"I don't mean to sound like the ghost of Christmas past, but I can tell you a million stories about who was killed anywhere at any given time," she paused, "Would you like to hear?"
He nodded unwillingly. Darla smiled - an almost caring smile. She turned to a small alley, inhabited by a group of hobos. "There. I know they look like a bunch of bums, but they aren't. Who do you think they are?"
Lindsey shrugged, "I don't know,"
"They're vampires. I know it's hard to believe. Vampires that live off rats and garbage, but they're vampires like Angel that can't bear to hurt a human, can't bear to kill for its own survival,"
He peered at her, "Were you like that?"
She laughed, "Lord no! I had pretty things, dresses and Angel but never love. Not true love - the real love humans feel for each other. I never felt that,"
"Why not?"
Darla turned to him, "All Angel was just sex, physical love not emotional. I never felt that before, until I met you. You and your beating heart, wanting me for who I was and not the monster I was,"
Lindsey smiled, placing his hands in his pockets, "Still do,"
The vampire looked down. She knew his heart was true. Everything he said to her was true. He wanted to live a life with her - at what cost, he didn't care. It didn't matter to him who she was. Darla dropped the act and walked beside Lindsey. "Maybe there is a chance for you after all. Maybe,"
He smiled as she began to walk away, "Then maybe there's a chance for us,"
She froze and continued to walk on.
"Maybe." He whispered again.
**
Drusilla danced silently, circling the grand room. It was night. Her grand mom left her in charge of disposing the corpses but she opted to "listen to the pretty music". Darla rolled her eyes as she noticed the young vampire roaming around the den. Lindsey smiled. She stopped dancing once she noticed they were there. Dru licked her fingers, like a child and smiled.
"Oh, hi grandmum. I was just enjoying the sweet music."
Darla waved her hand, "Never mind, honey. Just get rid of the bodies. They're bloody and it's going to be Hell to get the stain out of the carpet,"
She smiled, nodding, "Okay." Propping up one of the dead bodies and dragging it out. Dru smiled at Lindsey as she left, "Oh, you've been naughty with each other,"
Lindsey frowned. He had forgotten that Drusilla was had the sight.
Darla turned to him, smiling, "Now. Do you still wish to be a part of my crazy family? I'm sure there's always room for more,"
He smiled again, "If it means sharing my life with you, I can take the risk. I like taking risks," holding her close to him. Lindsey kissed her neck, "I might learn a thing or two. It wouldn't be so bad,"
Darla laughed, "That's where you're wrong," changing into her vampire form, "It will be," She turned around, tilting his neck to aside, biting deep into his flesh.
Lindsey fell to the floor, as she bit him. He hadn't expected what it would feel like to be bitten. Darla laughed, letting go a bit. She stared into his blue eyes, and bit him again - this time more gently, almost like a kiss. He didn't scream. When most people were bitten, they try to scream to give some indication they needed help or they didn't want to be bitten but Darla could see Lindsey was different. He wasn't like other humans and that was why Darla chose him. She backed away, running her finger across her chest. Lindsey saw what she was doing and didn't resist. He drew forward to her breast, sucking up the blood like a baby.
Darla frowned a while as his memories became hers. Everything he experienced in his life, everyone he knew and loved, his family, his friends and past loves - she knew them all. She didn't care about who they were and what they meant to him. She was his new family now. Nothing else that mattered to him didn't matter to her. It was a new life, a life she'd given him. And she expected full obedience.
He stopped after feeling too much blood running in his veins and let go, staring up at her sweet face. Darla looked down at her chest. Her blouse was covered in blood, but the damage was only minimal and the wound would heal quickly. She faced him again, smiling. Darla reached out, stroking his brown hair. "My dear boy. Welcome to my world. I hope you enjoy yourself,"
Lindsey smiled, crawling from the floor to kiss her again....
