Chapter 11: The Family Reunion From Hell
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
His full attention now on his sire, Spike slowly arose, Angel also getting up while never taking his eyes off of his insane childe. Becca let go of Spike's arm and eyed the new vampire warily. She'd have to be a complete idiot not to know who Drusilla was, but no matter how insane Becca was had heard Dru was, she wouldn't have been prepared for what happened next.
"My egg! My egg!" The brunette vampire squealed happily as she skipped toward Becca, hugging her and ignoring the other two vampires completely.
"Reunited we are! Finally! And just in time for Easter!" Drusilla grabbed Becca by the arms and backed away from her just enough to look her up and down.
"Look at you! All died in bloodlust and carnage! Making Mummy proud!" Drusilla pulled Becca back up against her in an awkward hug.
Becca's eyes were wide and she looked at Spike and Angel in desperation.
"HELP ME!" She mouthed but the two only looked at her and Dru, at each other and then back to her and Dru in confusion. That cycle repeated for a long time until Lawson and Lindsey came in, holding their noses.
"Oh crap." Lindsey muttered as he took in the scene.
"Hey guys! I stumbled across something you might wanna ...see..." Chloe ran into the office with papers in her hand but stopped when she saw the older woman squeezing the life out of her roommate/friend.
Becca's eyes actually rolled back into her head leading Chloe to spring into action. Chloe tried prying the woman away from Becca but was unsuccessful. It didn't work until Spike grabbed Drusilla and Chloe grabbed Becca and pulled them apart.
"Thanks." She muttered and Chloe shrugged. Becca turned her attention back to Dru who was smiling crazily.
"Drusilla, luv? How do you know Becca?" Spike asked as he looked between her and the whoozy teen.
Drusilla looked at Spike, abashed. "How do I know her?! I know her well! No one cares about the shell once the Dark Warrior crawls out and bares its' fangs..." Drusilla snapped her teeth and snarled. "...To the world." Drusilla's eyes glazed over.
"Thrashing! Thrashing! Thrashing! On the throne that would be ours! As one happy family." She rocked her head back and forth, lost in a memory.
"Bloody Hearts surrounding us to welcome the darkness into the world." Drusilla's face contorted in disgust. "But it was impure. I felt it as it scurried out!" Then she looked around and cringed. "Bad men in suits take it away. Promise to kill the light. Increase the darkness."
Drusilla tried to run toward Becca but Spike held her close. "I tired to make it better! I did! I did! Punishing mean old suits. Only tried to take advantage."
She pouted. "Stuffy old suits made my tummy ache. Hid my itty-bitty light away where no one could find you." Drusilla looked down, her voice barely audible. "Until Daddy came back."
Everyone in the office seemed confused by her gibberish, seeing as Angel and Spike were a bit out of practice with her insane ramblings. The only person not looking at the scene was Lindsey. The only two people who noticed this were Chloe and Angel.
"Everyone out! Except you Lindsey." Angel turned around to face Becca and Chloe.
"You said you found something important?" Angel asked. Chloe nodded.
Spike looked at Angel with uncertainty still cautious considering what he had busted in on earlier, but left knowing that Lindsey would protect Becca with his life. He didn't really want to examine why he cared so much, he just knew what he's known for the last one hundred and thirty plus years; Angel's a dick.
Lawson and Spike left the room muttering something about creepy, old, perverted vampires, closing the door behind them. Before she left, Chloe handed Becca the print outs she still held in her hands.
She bit her lip nervously. "Rebecca, I think you should sit down." Chloe urged quietly. Becca frowned but sat down on top on Angel's desk.
"I found these when Beavis and Butt-head over there were acting like a couple of boobs." Chloe handed her the papers she still clutched in her hands.
Drusilla's head snapped up toward Angel.
"I begged you not to hurt her Daddy but you said she was too dirty."
Drusilla's face crumpled and tears welled up in her eyes. She fell to her knees and pulled on her hair "Abomination! Not fit for the mediocrity of man or the glory of wickedness." Drusilla rose slowly, swaying to music only she could hear.
"String her up all pretty you said. An example to whatever force bore her. Poked through her skin and bone like pins in a cushion." Drusilla began to wriggle about.
"All squiggly and squirmy...'Keep her steady with spikes!' Daddy yelled. Just like her Daddy had done to so many before... Or like the worm in school lab."
Drusilla pouted and her eyes grew wide in fright. "Pins and needles. Needles and pins. It doesn't hurt if you do it in sin."
Becca frowned in concentration. "I've heard that before." She whispered.
"It seems that W&H have been keeping tabs on you for a very long time. These date back 12 years ago." Chloe looked back up to Lindsey and sighed.
"Ever since a much younger you was taken back by her mother, Drusilla. It seems she made a deal to let them have you as an assassin. To be brought up as a killer for the senior partners until she decided to come back for you. According to these, you were staying with one of her childe, Caleb. They stopped five years ago when you were found, crucified with Angelus' signature carved on your back."
Angel choked. "What do you mean? I never...I mean. I don't remember..."
Drusilla looked at Angel. "I had to, Daddy. If you had remembered you would've kept looking. I gave you some medicine to make you think she was dead. But I knew. I saw her every night. Her presence still lingered waiting for the right time."
Becca's mouth dropped. "Ok. Let me get this straight. Drusilla is my mom, right. Does that mean that Spike's my...?"
Becca looked around at each of the adults' faces in the room, finally resting on Angel's guilty expression.
"And you!" Becca growled. "You're the reason I wear these!" Becca screeched, having her leather clad hands in the air. "You're the reason why I have nightmares! The only thing in the world I fear!" Becca scrunched her nose in disgust. "Ugh! I feel so dirty. Angelus isn't that bad ass. I can't believe I let him beat me!"
Lindsey's mouth dropped as he watched the teen rant and rave. For a moment he mused just how similar the emotional teen was to both Drusilla and Spike.
Angel frowned in confusion. "Hold up. You're not mad that you were brutally murdered but that it was Angelus who did it?"
Becca stopped. "Damn straight. I mean, what am I suppose to tell people? That the grouchy demon part of a cream puff like you bested me?! I have a rep to maintain. What about my street cred?!" Becca took a steady breathe to calm herself when her attention was drawn to the glint of a very large cowboy buckle trying to make his way to the door.
"Lindsey, wait!" Lindsey stopped and turned back around, dawning his most charming, innocent smile. "Did you have any idea? I felt you were hiding something from me, was this it?"
Lindsey looked at the young woman. "I didn't know that Drusilla and Spike were your parents but when you killed Sajahn, I knew... I had heard rumors that Angel and Darla had had a child and I thought..."
When Angel heard Lindsey make reference to Connor he jumped up and pushed Lindsey out of the door, shutting it and making Becca jump about six feet away from the charging vampire. She growled and tackled Angel to the floor.
"Eggy, stop hitting Daddy." Drusilla demanded in a motherly warning tone.
Chloe ran toward the grappling two and tried to pry Becca of Angel but Becca was crazed, grabbing on to anything she could to keep pounding on the vampire. Unfortunately, with all the hubbub, Angel still hadn't been able to retrieve some decent clothes and Becca accidentally ripped off the newspaper Angel had gripped onto his waist like a lifeline.
"Oh God." Angel muttered as he scurried behind the couch. Chloe and Becca's mouths dropped and Drusilla moved beside Becca to cover her eyes with one of her hands.
"Naughty Daddy." Drusilla frowned and wagged a finger toward Angel but a sly smirk soon appeared on her face as she hopped toward Angel and landing on the couch with a large plop.
"Looks like Daddy's going on an Egg hunt. The slippery serpent in the garden." Drusilla whispered, grinning madly.
Becca whistled. "Ooookaaayyyy, Dru, could you go upstairs and get Angel some clothes. I've seen a lot more of Grandpa than I ever wanted to."
Drusilla nodded sullenly and went to the elevator to retrieve some clothes from Angel's apartment.
An extremely uncomfortable silence fell on the three remaining people. Chloe could have sworn she heard crickets in the room.
Becca cleared her throat. "Hey Angel. Earlier I saw this blonde walking around with bits of your jacket in her mouth..."
Angel sighed. "That was Nina. She's a werewolf."
Becca nodded. "Seems nice. I'd seen her around before." Becca smiled a very cheesy grin and gave Angel a thumbs up I think she likes you."
Angel stared at her and Becca stopped smiling. "What?"
Drusilla came back, holding the offending articles of clothing in disgust.
"You should prance around in your birthday suit, Daddy. I use to, remember?" Becca did a double take, looking at the now semi-clothed Angel as he pulled the other sleeve of hid black shirt on.
"I remember." Angel sputtered, ducking Becca's eyes and grabbing his pants from Drusilla.
Angel hurriedly hopped into his black slacks while trying to continue the conversation between him and Becca from earlier.
"Becca, you said you had a warning for me and how you knew Doyle. Care to elaborate?"
Becca leaned on the frame of the door. "When I came back, Doyle found me. Helped me train, even through...this." Becca took off her gloves to reveal the two dark bruises on each hand, ignoring the faint growls emanating from Drusilla.
"Ever since I came back I've been able to sense sins. Betrayal being the easiest to track." Becca sighed as she looked up at Angel. She could see the guilt in his eyes as he looked at her hands. She put the gloves away but also stuffed her hands in her pockets, her hands feeling naked without them.
Abruptly she pushed her self up and motioned to Chloe to come with her, causing each vampire to look at her in surprise. "I can only tell you to watch your back Angel. I have to go."
Drusilla and Angel frowned and followed the two as they walked out of the door, Becca holding Chloe firmly by the arm.
Chloe stopped and whirled Becca around to face her. "Wait a minute, who's going to tell Spike?"
"Tell me what?" Spike asked as he strode next to Chloe and Becca. Lindsey and Lawson followed closed behind as the fairly young vampire munched away on a box of Bassinets. Becca looked at Lawson in disgust and Lawson looked at her in confusion.
"What? It says ARTIFICIAL baby parts!" Lawson defended.
Spike smirked at Lawson then turned his head back toward Becca. He looked at her as she lowered her head and shuffled her boot and smiled at her completely uncharacteristic behavior.
"Listen luv, I know we've been spending a lot of time together and we get along great but whatever feelings you think you're feeling toward me are just your hormones talking."
Becca's face contorted into a mixture of surprise and disgust as she momentarily thought of her whole, newly acquired family, on the Jerry Springer show. Chloe's eyes widened, Lindsey tried to cover his laughing by fake coughing and Lawson choked on his Bassinets. When he finally recovered he scoffed.
"Please, Becca could do ALOT better than you!" Lawson sputtered.
Spike frowned even though he did agree with Lawson on that point but he didn't like this new jealousy he saw in the vampires' eyes when talking about Rebecca.
"That's true, but frankly I don't see where that concerns you." Spike said as he stepped closer to Lawson, his poster indicating that he was ready for a fight.
"Spike..." Becca began as she stepped between the two. "We really need to talk."
Spike looked down at the girl and sighed.
"Can't it wait? I'm kinda busy protecting you from this jackass."
Becca rolled her eyes. "Think about it Spike. We hardly know each other but for some crackpot reason you feel the need to beat every guy within a 10 feet radius of me, including your eunuch of a grandsire."
An indignant squeak could be heard in Angel's direction but it soon turned into a huff when Chloe elbowed him in the ribs to shut him up.
"Then Drusilla comes in, calling me her egg and hugging me as if I were..." Becca looked down and in one quick breathe finished.
"AsifIwereyourlonglostdaughterwhoAngeluskilledandwasbroughtupbyDoyletofighte vil."
Spike's mouth dropped. If he were human he would have stopped breathing. He looked down at the familiar mop of curly light brown hair that would match his own if it weren't currently died. Her head was bent down as she rubbed her hands together nervously, relishing in the friction of the over used leather gloves. Slowly she raised her head and the hesitant blue eyes that were originally his own assaulted Spike.
Angel shifted uncomfortably but that slight movement was enough to jar Spike's attention away from Becca.
In the blink of an eye, Spike pounced on the older vampire, sending him through his office door.
"God damn bastard! Who in the fuck do you think you are!" Spike punched Angel in the face and then in the stomach, causing Angel to curl up in pain. He began to get up but Spike sent his elbow crashing into his spine and Angel arched his back in pain as he fell to the ground. Spike kicked him in the ribs over and over again, not even hearing the pleas of his daughter and sire to stop, or even the shouts from Lindsey and Lawson to hit Angel harder, which were stopped immediately when Becca glared at the two.
"What were you going to do to my daughter earlier?! Rape her?! You're just like that bastard Angelus!" Spike yelled at the top of his lungs while kicking Angel in the face. Now, the vampire's face was bloody and there were bruises forming on his upper body. Spike fell down to one knee and was about to punch Angel in the face when he felt a small hand hold his arm back.
"This is not the time Spike." Becca stated.
Spike looked at her in confusion. "Aren't you upset?" Spike stood up and took a few steps toward Becca who took a few steps back in turn.
He raised his hand to cup one her cheeks, causing Becca to stop breathing. "What did he do to you?"
"Nothing that's relevant now." Becca whispered as she removed her self from Spike caress and made her way toward the reception office.
Swiftly, Rebecca strode out of the office and turned to her friends. "Are you guys ready?" They nodded and Lindsey, Chloe and Lawson moved toward the elevator. Before she could step on, she heard her father's voice.
"Rebecca, wait!" Spike yelled. She turned around just as Spike reached her. "The part Dru said, about bloody hearts. What did she mean?"
A slightly tired smile appeared on Becca's face
.
"They were decorations. My birthday's February 14th."
Spike nodded and looked past her into the elevator.
"Do you need a place to stay? I mean, how well do you really know them? Besides I'm not sure about you living with two grown men."
Becca smiled but walked on the elevator. "You are the last one to be chastising anyone for living in sin." They all waved a final goodbye and smiled as Lawson put his arm around Becca's shoulder and grinned saucily to the glaring blonde vampire as the doors closed.
