Jack scrubbed at the bath tub trying to get the pink slime off of it. Dawn
was coming over and he wasn't sure how to explain the slime to her except
maybe the Slimer from the Ghostbusters had a pink sister. He was cooking
her a romantic dinner, well ordering Chinese and eating it by candle light.
Then the phone rang.
'Hello?' 'Jack, I can't come over tonight something's come up.' 'Okay. Will I see you tomorrow?' 'Sure you will. Bye' she hung up quickly.
What was all that about. Maybe he should go over and see what was happening. But then was he just being paranoid? It had been hard at first to stop looking over his shoulder constantly, wondering if Angelus or his friends were going to just pop out and ruin everything he'd worked for. Or if Justine would show up looking for money, he hadn't seen her since they dumped Angelus in the ocean. She'd just smiled and said that she was leaving L.A. He didn't know but lately what he had done to Angelus had begun to nag at him. He was having horrible dreams of what it was like to being that box trapped at the bottom of the ocean. The claustrophobia, the weight of the water on top of your chest, the constant darkness. Just thinking about the dreams freaked him out. He needed to go and do something. He grabbed a sword and a stake form his room and went out hunting.
Dawn was following Buffy in the cemetery. 'I don't see why you had to start teaching me how to fight tonight. I had a date you know.' She complained. 'Well you were the one who wanted to learn in the first place, Dawn' Buffy wasn't in the mood for complaining tonight. She was worried about Dawn being friends with Lily. So she did the only thing she could do-she was teaching her how to fight.
Buffy stopped suddenly. 'Okay dawn there are vampires up ahead . Here's a stake now remember what you practised with me and Xander. Hit them straight into the heart.' 'Fine' Dawn loosened up her shoulders and repeated 'Straight into the heart.'
By the time the got ahead to the vampires Jack was already fighting them. They stood by in amazement as he staked three vampires in as many minutes. Dawn was about to yell at her boyfriend, since when did he fight evil, she thought but Buffy clamped a hand around her mouth and watched Jack finish the remaining vampires.
From the behind a tree Buffy saw Drusilla step out and clap when Jack staked the last vampire. 'Go on little one stake the mean vampire for Auntie Dru' she smiled when Jack swirled around. 'Just like your Daddy but you seem to have inherited mommy's viciousness. Won't it be glorious when you are turned? Then we'll be a family again. You, your auntie Dru, Angelus and maybe even uncle William. We could go on another killing spree just like the old days. Maybe the bad lawyers could even bring back your mommy again.'
Jack stared at the vampire. 'I don't know what you are going on about but I know you're going to be dead soon' 'The passion in your voice like mean Angelus when he set me and Mommy on fire' Drusilla looked with love on Jack.
Buffy pushed Dawn back and stepped out to greet Drusilla. 'Dru, honey, good to seem you still haven't found your sanity' she taunted. Drusilla looked on with a look of distain at Buffy 'Little one kill the mean lady for your auntie Dru'
'I don't know what the fuck you're going on about but I'm leaving' Jack stepped back to run away 'I don't know any Conor. She's insane'
'Jack if you move a muscle I'll kill you' Buffy smiled 'that's not an empty threat. Now sit down on the ground and shut you mouth.'
'Now Drusilla, why do you think you're Jack's auntie' she questioned her
'The slayer doesn't know yet.' Drusilla taunted her. 'You were left all out in the cold and I thought he would have told you of all people. Even Spike knew and he didn't tell you' 'Look Dru either you tell me what you are blathering on about or I stake you right here and now. So hurry up' Buffy was getting sick of Drusilla already and she'd only been here five minutes. 'Little one over there is Darla and Angelus's son. A cute little baby he was just eight months ago and now he's all grown up' Dru smiled maliciously 'I thought your soulmate would have told you he had a kid'.
Jack leapt up from the ground and staked Drusilla. She evaporated into a pile of dust instantly. He could risk her telling Buffy what had happened to Angelus. He needed time to escape.
'She wasn't lying was she?' 'She's a demon they always lie' 'So you are Angel's son?' 'No, I don't know any Angel. My father is Holtz.' 'So what's your real name Jack?' 'I don't have to answer your questions. You can't force me.' 'Wrong answer' Buffy pulled out some rope form her bag and tied him up quickly 'Now walk. You're coming home with me until I find out what's been going on.'
'Buffy, you don't need to tie him up' Dawn came out of her hiding place 'He's not evil or anything' 'Shut up Dawn. He's been lying to us and we need to find out what's been going on' Buffy pulled Jack to his feet and started frogmarching him to her house. Dawn trailed behind begging Jack to tell her what was going on. Jack didn't speak a word.
'Hello?' 'Jack, I can't come over tonight something's come up.' 'Okay. Will I see you tomorrow?' 'Sure you will. Bye' she hung up quickly.
