Pharaoh's Gift Pt.2

"Hmm, Katrina, where did you get this blood?" A blind vampire asked the
petite tan skinned black haired vampiress.

"I had some of your minions go into Cairo to get you this, master
Lokenrah." Katrina replied as he ran his hand against her cheek.

"Katrina, please sit on my lap and tell me what you see. I need you to
tell me where I can find the Pharaoh's Gift." He stretched his hand out to
her.

"I will do my best, Lokenrah. My powers are limited. I only see emptiness
in this desert, but there are two vampires and humans looking for the
Pharaoh's Gift as well." Katrina whispered like she had done something to
upset him.

"This could prove to be very useful." Lokenrah muttered.

"Drusilla, where in Egypt are we going?" Xander was curious as to why she
was taking him on a boat.

"Hmm, Cairo, my sweet kitten. We will have so much fun. Miss Edith sings
that we need supplies if we're going into the desert."

"Well, Dru, that might be dangerous. We don't even know if the gem of
Amora that Willow made you will even hold up in the desert."

"Miss Edith says that it will hold up. We are going to come up against old
friends and enemies. You will protect me from them." She looked at him with
her big brown puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah, I guess I will, if you let me have something to eat. I'm starving."


"Oh mommy always comes prepared. What would you like? Apples,
Strawberries, or peaches, I also brought whip cream. We have a lovely hotel
suite and I'm sure the Chefs could prepare you a wonderful meal." Drusilla
smiled delightfully.

"Fine. I guess I would like an Apple."

"I can't believe you ate that disgusting salad, Slayer." Spike commented.

"We will be in Cairo shortly, Spike. I can't believe that you drank so
much wine." Buffy spat hating every moment of the ride to Cairo with Spike.

"Well, Slayer, it was because of me that we get to ride in first class.
So I think I'm entitled to drink as much as I want to." He grumbled about
his accomplishment like it was some sort of punishment.

"Spike, you hide your anger too well. I think you're upset
that Drusilla took Xander to Egypt instead of you." Buffy gave Spike a
reality check, a small smile of self-satisfaction crossing her lips.

"Upset doesn't cover it, Slayer. She was my life and didn't come to me
for help. I should have been the one Drusilla turned to, not that little
peon."

"Xander is not a peon." Buffy defended her friend. "Drusilla probably
felt that she needed someone a little more stable to help her."

"I'm perfectly stable, Slayer." Spike clenched his fists.

"Yeah right." Buffy smirked.
