Sunnydale,
Sunday Evening
"Do I know you," Dru said wonderingly.
"Uh, probably not," Xander replied. "I probably never really was that
important to you, and that's okay...and I need to go because I'm late,
and--"
Dru giggled at Xander's frightened babbling. "Well, you definitely
know about me, so maybe you know about Spike? Could you tell me where
he is? I seem to have lost him, the silly boy. He was supposed to
come get me, and I waited and waited but he never came," Dru pursed
her lips in a pout.
"He's with Anya--" Xander blurted out before his brain had time to
smack him upside the head and say, *what the hell was that?? Are you
trying to get Anya killed? Use me!*
Xander clapped his hand over his mouth to prevent any more stupidity
from leaking out.
"Who's Anya?" Dru asked sweetly. When Xander refused to reply, her
eyes narrowed. "Don't make me mad!" she shouted. "I need to find
Spike! He left me all alone!"
"If I tell you where Spike is --"
"Go on," Dru said, back to her innocent-little-girl routine.
"I don't care what you do to Spike, but there's someone... where he
is... and I don't want to see that person get hurt," Xander said
slowly.
"I don't care about any other silly people," Dru answered
dismissively. "I just want Spike. He needs to pay for making his
Princess wait for him to come to her," she finished with a not-too-
sane grin.
"Okay, I'll take you there," Xander said, against his better judgment.
&&&&&&&
Xander and Drusilla approached Anya's house, and Dru waited while
Xander knocked. Anya opened the door but then promptly attempted to
shut it in Xander's face. Xander however, stopped the door with his
foot, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, Anya. We need to talk.
Preferably somewhere away from The Bleached One," he added with a
grin.
Anya didn't even crack a smile. "Spike's not here...who's that?" she
addedas she noticed Drusilla standing at the foot of the porch steps.
"My name's Drusilla, I'm looking for my Spike," Dru said as she
approached the door.
Anya looked her up and down, and asked, "Vampire?"
Dru smiled, and said reassuringly, "Oh, I'm not going to hurt you,
Dearie. Like I said, I'm looking for my Spike. This boy said he might
know where Spike was."
Anya considered for a few more minutes. *Oh, what the hell. She really
doesn't look like she could hurt a fly. Besides, Xander's here, and
he's probably got some holy water or a spare stake somewhere.*
"Come in," Anya said, and moved back to let Dru and Xander enter.
Anya then turned to glare at Xander. "This so doesn't mean you're off
the hook. Son of a bitch!" she yelled angrily.
Xander winced, but accepted her rage. "I deserve all of that, and
more. I was a coward for not dealing with my feelings for Willow
before they ended up causing you pain. I'm sor--"
"Fuck you!" Anya screamed, cutting him off. "I don't want to hear a
word out of that lying mouth!" She stopped and drew a deep breath,
continuing, "I think you know WHY I let you in, and it wasn't about
letting you try to weasel your way out of the fact that you deserve
to die a horrible painful death. Now shut up, or I'll kick you out
and chance it alone with this... vampire.
"Drusilla," Dru reminded.
"Whatever. Have a seat. Spike went out a while ago, but he should be
back any minute," Anya sat down herself, without taking her eyes off
Dru.
As if on cue, Spike entered the house. "Anya, Luv, I'm back! Miss
me..." his words trailed off as he saw the visitor.
Dru, having heard his expression of affection for Anya, reacted in a
way that only Dru would. Before anybody could react, she grabbed Anya
and overpowered her easily. Anya learned too late that looks are
deceiving when it came to vampires; even more so in Dru's case.
"Dru, let her go," Spike said hoarsely.
"Don't come near us!" Dru warned, her hands on either side of Anya's
head. "I'll snap the girl's neck faster than you can move, _Darling_."
Spike stopped then, and there was a moment of silence as the two
vampires glared at each other. "Let her go," Spike repeated
menacingly, his face morphed due to the depth of anger he was feeling.
Dru responded likewise, and said softly, "Now why on earth would I do
that? Princess waited for you, Spike. I waited, and I waited, and you
never came! You told me you'd always come for me!"
"Oh fuck?" Xander offered helpfully.
"This isn't about Anya, Drusilla. This is about you and me, Baby."
Spike said, ignoring Xander and focusing on Dru. "I did follow you. I
found you in the arms of another demon, though, Pet! Not a very nice
looking one at that," he added.
"He was just a toy, Spike," Dru replied with a smile. "You know that
we belong together. I just needed to get away for a little while. But
that does NOT mean you were allowed to find another!" she yelled
angrily.
"Let her GO, DRUSILLA! NOW!" Spike ordered.
"I'm not afraid of you," Dru answered calmly. "The boy told me all
about what those people did to you. You can't hurt anyone, it's so
sad. William the Bloody is now William the Pussycat."
Spike turned his rage on Xander, "Fuck you, Xander! Why the hell did
you have to go and do that???"
"Oops?" was all that Xander could offer in response.
Spike turned back to Dru, who was still moments from snapping Anya's
neck. "Dru, I would never hurt you, Pet. Even if I could. You know
that. Let's end this. Let Anya go, and you and I can go somewhere
alone and talk."
"There's nothing to talk about," Dru responded coldly. "You left me
alone out there, Spike, and thought that you wouldn't have to pay for
it. Well, you were wrong. You can't leave me and not suffer the
consequences." She stopped, as if considering her options. A smile
spread over her face, "I'm going to make you suffer, Spike. Suffer
like you've never suffered before. How shall I do that.... Hmm....,"
She studied his face carefully and found what she was looking
for. "You live, your whore dies."
"Noooo!" Spike yelled as Dru sunk her teeth into Anya's throat.
