Chapter 4~Wakey, Wakey
"Wakey, wakey Angel"
Dru's voice began to penetrate though the thick cloud of sleep, bringing Angel out of her dream world. The first thing that he noticed was a slight pressure on his chest and knew instinctively that it was Drusilla , they were in much the same positions they were in the dream, except he was laying on his back in bed and she was laying across his chest and her fingers were still stroking his hair. He felt her lift her head off of her chest and look at him. He gave her a small smile that she returned.
Angel could tell that she was slightly uncomfortable and to be honest so was he. It was true that the two did not really know the each other. Angelus had only spent about forty years with her, and compared to the two hundred years he had been around that was a very short time. Not to mention the fact that Darla had always been around.
Angelus had been fascinated by her in the beginning but after he had turned her he gradually lost interest in his childe focusing his attentions back to his sire, only including the young vampiress when it suited them. Then she turned William and the four of them found mutual companionship for the next twenty years until he was cursed. Most of the time that he spent with Drusilla was filled with murdering and pillaging and that's not really something you do to get to know someone. He realized that Dru didn't really know him, or really the souled version of him anyway. He and Angelus were two very different beings inhabiting the same body. She probably did know something's about him due to her gifts but not everything including how he felt about her.
Even though he might not have admitted it a few years ago he still cared about her. Angel, in his own way had created her, Angelus was the one who actually drove her mad and eventually turned her. It was still Angel's blood that had been fed to her giving her new life. Therefore he felt a connection to her. Angelus could never feel love, it wasn't in his nature, but Angel could and even though he wasn't sure if he loved Drusilla just yet, he knew that there was a possibility that he might one day, and he was going to make damned sure he found out.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Angel was so deep in his thoughts that he did not feel Dru move off of him and leave the bed room. She had seen that he was drowning himself in his thoughts and decided to leave him alone for a little while. She started to wander around his penthouse and began picking up various objects and examining them before putting them down again. She didn't have anytime last night to snoop around so she decided to have a look at his home while she could. Dru could hear a little voice somewhere in her mind singing to her 'curiosity killed that cat Dru' she almost giggled out loud at the thought. 'I'm already dead' she sang back to the voice and effectively shutting it up immediately.
As she continued wandering around she looked at the variety of weapons that he had hung on his walls. She could not understand men; they all had a fascination for warfare and sharp objects. She on the other hand preferred delicate and beautiful things, probably because she grew up in the era that she did. Dru picked up a book that Angel had been reading and looked at the title, it was a French novel that she had read a long time ago. Setting it down she moved to the large window that over looked the city. It was still relatively dark out and usually she would be out hunting right about now but Dru knew that this Angel would not appreciate it nor would the stars, they certainly would not like it. That was just one of the many things that the stars had been singing to her lately.
Shaking herself from her thoughts she heard Angel move from the bedroom into the kitchen. Dru could hear him opening the refrigerator and soon heard the whir of the microwave as he heated up his morning blood. The smell wafted through the air and penetrated her senses. For a moment her eyes shifted from their normal grey to yellow reminding her that the demon needed to feed. It was then that Angel came out holding two mugs and handed one to her. She took it from him great fully and began to sip it.
"I thought that you might be hungry. I didn't know when the last time you've feed" He told her. Angel watched in shock when her face shifted and she began to drink the warmed pigs blood without so much as a show of disgust. He found this interesting and reminded himself to try and find out why she didn't have a problem feeding from bagged blood.
"Thank you. My stomach was becoming all growly" She said handing him the mug again. She turned to look back in to his living room "You're home is very nice. I like your windows but aren't you afraid of burning up with no curtains to protect you?" she asked, a concerned look briefly crossing her face.
Angel set the mugs on the table and walked over to where Dru stood looking out the windows and answered her "They are made to filter the sun and protect me so I don't need curtains"
Dru nodded her head in understanding, she didn't know how it was done but she trusted Angel's judgment. A small frown crossed her face. That thought of trusting Angel struck her as odd. When he had been Angelus she had never really trusted her sire, she had always found his plans to be rather impulsive. That's why they never really succeeded. That and because he never really listened to her. Her frown increased when she realized that no one really listened to her. She turned to look at the vampire standing beside her. She found him staring at her intently. Dru opened up her mind and connected with his. She listened to his thoughts and found that he was curious about what she was thinking. Drusilla closed his mind again and grinned. Not only could she trust this Angel but she knew that he would listen to what she had to say.
Angel looked at Dru intently and wondered what she was thinking about. His curiosity only increased when he saw her frowning. He wondered if she was still worrying about the windows. Just as he was about to reassure her again she turned to him her eyes were unreadable. He wasn't positive but he thought that he felt her push her way into his mind and it didn't bother him. Her frown was soon replaced with a smile. He shook his head. He didn't get Dru, not just yet anyway.
Taking her hand he directed her to the couch and sat down beside her. They sat in silence as the sun began to rise in the Californian sky. Dru was absolutely thrilled to feel the warmth on her face. It was a sensation she had not felt in well over a hundred years.
Angel watched his childe in fascination as she watched the sun rise over the horizon. He assumed that it was the same look he had on his face when he had first seen the sun rise in two hundred years. Some of the guilt that he felt when it came to Dru was lifted. He had taken the sun from her and now he was giving it back to her.
After they finished watching the sunrise he looked over at the clock. It was about time he started to get ready to head down to the office. He would have to assemble the investigation team and pull them off of the search for Dru; now that she was here it was no longer necessary. The next thought came to mind was if he should tell the crew about Drusilla's arrival just yet or if he should wait a little while longer. He knew that they would eventually find out and keeping it a secret may not be such a good idea, it could cause problems of trust in the end.
"Dru I have to go to work. Would you like to come with me?" He asked her "You would have to be a good girl and not cause any trouble. Do you think you could do that for me?"
"I can be a very good girl. I would love to go with you" Dru could tell that he was concerned about bring her to meet his friends and was glad in the end when he decided not to hide her from them. Drusilla had decided then that she would be on her best behavior and not disappoint him. She had been trying to be a good girl lately and knew that this was her chance to prove that she could be a good girl.
Dru watched when Angel stood up and walked into the bedroom to change for work. She cocked her head to the side and listened as the fairies began to sing to her. They told her that the slayer would be there as well as Angels other friends. They told her that they would not be happy to see her but that one of Angel's friends would become her friend too. They also told her that her Spikey would be there and that he would be afraid of her. Dru could not, and would not have that. Her Spikey had nothing to fear from her. The Powers had given him a gift and if she were to take it away she would be punished horribly. Dru decided that she would just have to dispel his fears as soon as possible.
"Ready to go Dru?" she looked up at Angel before standing and nodding her head. He took her hand in his and they headed out of the door together.
