"Well this was definitely easier than expected?" Gunn commented. Drusilla was waiting in front of them. They had only been walking for approximately an hour before they came upon the vampire.
"Dru?" Angel said softly. She had this faraway look in her eyes, like she was a million miles away from them. She usually had that look when she was having a vision. "What do you see?" Even after all this time, the words still came naturally out of his mouth. When he heard himself, dozens of unbidden memories, of similar situations, came to him, the most memorable being that which led him to hell for a summer.
"Shhh," she said and she seemed to be straining to hear something. Her face suddenly turned downward and she looked as if she were going to cry. "I can't hear it anymore," she muttered.
"Hear what?" Willow asked, fascinated. She had always heard about Drusilla's powers, especially from Spike, and couldn't help but think that she could have been a major asset for the demon community if it wasn't for the fact that "the big Poof ha'n't fried 'er noggin'" as Spike would put it.
The sound of the unfamiliar voice seemed to bring Drusilla back to the present. She looked at them and growled.
"Cut the crap Dru. Where's the kid?" Darla growled backed. She was ready to stake the insane vampire. She was far more trouble than she was worth. She had never understood how Dru had ever kept the attention of either Angelus or Spike.
Dru looked at Darla with a mixture of rage, contempt, and sadness. "I was all alone. Daddy became the Beast, you left and Spike... and Spike lost his demon. I was left all alone." She looked as if she were about to breakdown any moment. "Then you came back. And while you slept, your demon promised... it promised... never to leave me again. But you lied. You've left again. Now you're just like Daddy and Spike. You reek of goodness." With that, she charged Darla.
Darla, stunned by what Dru said, didn't react in time when Dru tackled her. Darla raged at Dru's accusations and pushed her off.
"How dare you?" Darla screamed before tackling Dru. Angel was shocked into immobility. At least until he saw Darla reaching for a piece of wood that was lying on the ground. Then he moved to stop her. They needed Dru alive.
"You can't," he said as he grabbed Darla. She struggled in his arms, but he held her uncompromisingly. He looked at Willow. "Hold her," he said motioning to Dru.
Willow did her spell of motionlessness and was pleased to see that it worked. She looked over and saw that Angel was still struggling with Darla.
"We need her alive," he tried to reason with his sire. Darla made another sudden attempt to break free, but Angel held her steadfast. "She's the only one who knows where the kid is. We may never find him without her, or at least we may not in the three remaining days we have left."
Darla stopped struggling. Much to her displeasure, he was right. They needed her, but only until they found the kid. After that, Drusilla was dust. "Fine, you win."
After seeing that Darla had calmed down, he let her go. He, then, bent down to look at Dru, who was still lying on the ground, because of Willow's spell. "Where's the kid?" he asked calmly.
Dru just looked at him and growled, before turning strangely calm. "I can't hear it, but I know it is coming. Death will sing."
After hearing Drusilla's statement, Gunn muttered to Willow, "This could take awhile."
