Precious Family
Chapter 3

Owning a dress shop was a wonderful thing, I thought to myself as Angelus killed the young man who walked into the dress store. "Hmm, a little better tasting than the last one." Angelus said licking his fingers.
I simply placed my finger over his lips and licked the blood off of them. "Decent, but not worthy of my darling boy." I told him wishing my Elisabeth were here with us right now.
Angelus looked at me softly. "Darla, what is wrong?" He lifted my head up by my chin.
Softly placing my head on to my darling boy's shoulder. "Elisabeth needs to be turned and soon. We need to get rid of her father." Her father was becoming a nuisance that was ruining all my grand plans.
Angelus smiled, "Would you like me to take care of Elisabeth's father?" He was like a puppy asking for a treat.
I then laughed evilly. "Of course, I want you to kill him. He's one of those precious watchers. They hate us." Angelus looked surprised.
He then smiled that wicked grin of course. "I certainly will. Darla, will this not make things more difficult. Elisabeth will be surprised and surrounded by even more watchers." He was so naïve sometimes.
I simply smiled wickedly. "No Angelus. She will be so vulnerable and need someone, like a friend to help her through her father's death. Who better than us to help her deal with it?" I said.
He then kissed me. "You are so wicked, my darling Darla."
We then laughed.
When I spied on Elisabeth, she was admiring a bouquet of red roses. My Angelus sent them. Then there was another bouquet of white roses. There was a beautiful inscription written on them;
The blessed damozel leaned out
From the gold bar of heaven
Her eyes were deeper than the depth
Of waters stilled at even...
But a white rose of Mary's gift
For service meetly worn;
Her hair that lay along her back
Was yellow like ripe corn
(Rosetti, Dante. The Blessed Damozel 1-4, 9-12)
It was beautiful. William always could pick the most charming way to seduce you. At times, he even had a way of making me cry.
Elisabeth began to cry as she read the card. I saw her father then inspect the bouquets. He told Elisabeth something, but I couldn't hear what it was exactly.
I decided to go home, only to find something unexpected.
Three hours later, I came home to find a very pleasant surprise waiting for me. Opportunities were rare and sometimes got what you wanted. I saw Drusilla hovering near something. When I took a closer look, I smiled.
I petted Drusilla's hair tenderly. "Drusilla, what is this?" I asked her looking at Elisabeth's father lying there helplessly. Oh, this was delicious.
Drusilla jumped up and down, before pressing her foot into Elisabeth's father's back. "Miss Edith says that he was one of those mean watchers. He's also the reason that you don't have a daughter that you wanted." She giggled like a little schoolgirl.
I bent down to his ear and whispered, "You are so lucky that you are going to die quickly. Elisabeth will be well taken care of. I'll make sure she never knows how you truly died." Sinking my fangs into his neck, savoring all the agony he was in as I fed myself.
Drusilla began to chant an insane limerick,
As I lay dying
All that I can think of
Is my lovely daughter
Her name is Elisabeth
Everything I do
Is rotting away
Like nothing ever mattered
Because in the end
I have failed
My most precious
When he finally died, there was a look of disgust on his face. Drusilla would be rewarded for this. I would give her Elisabeth from time to time to properly educate her. Then again, Drusilla might drive her insane with her incessant riddles and prattling about the stars.
Then my two darling boys came into the foyer. They saw a corpse lying in the middle of the living room floor. Spike seemed a little surprised. Angelus just smiled.
I simply smiled at the two of them. "Boys, I want you to do a little errand for me. This man was an annoying watcher. Drop his body on the doorstep of the Watcher's Headquarters." This was so delicious. Elisabeth was going to be easy pickings now.
Angelus kissed my hand. "As you wish, Darla." He said as William picked up his dead body and left. Thankfully, the last obstacle was out of my way.
