~Hi all, I just want to say a special thanks to Jessica Charette for her
lovely email and review. It means a lot and I dedicate this chapter to you~
'NO!' Dru screamed and she grabbed the stake that was inches away from plunging into her heart. Dru's face screwed up in the effort of trying to prevent Buffy from staking her. Buffy and Dru wrestled for a few minutes, Spike stood watching and ready to back up Buffy if anything happened.
'You think you can kill me that easy', Dru panted.
'Who said it was easy', Buffy growled. Dru decided to risk it and she let go of the stake and rolled over, she felt the stake dig into her and knew it was all over.
She could see Buffy standing over her....wait a minute if she could still see Buffy then she couldn't be dust. Dru looked down at where the stake was, it had just missed her heart. Dru laughed insanely then leaped to her feet ignoring the blood pouring from her wound.
'Don't you ever die', Buffy said exasperated. She looked over to Spike and he nodded, then they faced Dru and charged towards her with everything they had and the struggle continued.
Giles sat down with Angel.
'What did she say?' Angel asked.
'Not much really I told her everything about the Vargners and the vampires and Drusilla and she said she'd be here in about an hour', Giles responded.
'Ok then, well there's not much else we can do but wait then', Angel said.
Dru was running as fast as she could, she could hear Buffy and Spike gaining on her but she kept running there was no way she could take on both of them when she could barely take on of them on. She zig zagged around drunks that had just emerged from pubs leaving them standing there shouting abuse after them. Dru resisted the temptation to go back and snap every single one of their necks.
She saw an alleyway where she made a quick turn. She heard the footsteps of Buffy and Spike and pressed herself against the wall praying they wouldn't see her. But before she could see if the did she felt two hands grab the scruff of her top and pull her backwards into some rusty, old building. They fell back and went crashing through the floor, dust surrounding everywhere.
Spike stopped and sniffed.
'She's definitely near', Spike confirmed. Buffy went off to search the area but could only find an old building which was falling apart; little did she know that under the rubble Dru and someone else lay.
'I don't believe it.....she got away....again', Buffy said in disbelief.
'Ah don't worry about it, she'll be back Dru maybe crazy but she can be quite clever sometimes, she's not like other vampires.....she knows more.....about being evil, about everything really so she's bound to be harder to kill', Spike told Buffy.
Dru rubbed her stinging eyes the dust was engulfing them.
'Who are you?' she called out.
'Dru it's me', came Chris's voice.
'Where... Peter he should be here I asked him to bring me roses they make it smell nice but all I can smell is anger and it's coming from me', Dru growled grabbing Chris by the neck and lifting him off his feet.
'Dru.....' Chris choked. Dru licked his face and let him drop to the ground. Chris got up holding his neck.
'What are you out of you mind', Chris cried. Dru blinked innocently.
'No don't answer that', Chris added after a second.
'Why don't you answer me I don't want to be evil, I won't let it take me....but I did I did been a bad girl but I'm loving it makes a nice change don't you think?', Dru said. Chris stared at her in amazement.
'Whatever, anyway straight to the point I just saved your ass from being dusted by the slayer aren't you gonna thank me', Chris said. A grin split across Dru's face and Chris took it as that meant thank you.
'They must know about us possessing the slayer's little sis', Chris continued pacing up and down.
'You won't kill my William will you?' Dru asked.
'Will you shut up about him', Chris bellowed.
'Oooohhhh daddy no beating', Dru said pouting with her hands over her ears.
'I'll beat you in a minute if you don't be quite', Chris threatened.
'You couldn't beat me if you tried', Dru laughed.
'Maybe not but I can torment you (an evil grin spread across his face) Look at this Drusilla it's two of your friends I got them and look.....their dead and it's all you fault, look what you've done to them. It's the evil inside you you're an evil girl (Dru was screaming) your always hurting people you love', Chris said imitating what Angel had said to her after he had just sired Chris and Peter.
'No no you did it not me', Dru cried.
'Would you like to know what I did to your dad', Chris whispered in her ear. Dru closed her eyes, crying.
'No not dad', Dru said hoarsely.
'Yes look what I did to him (The vision of Angel opening his bedroom door revealing Dru's dad hanging from the ceiling flashed before Dru's eyes) and I didn't kill him the easy way either, I did it real slow...first I slit his wrists then I whipped him with my belt and punched and kicked him until he begged me to stop(Dru heard Angel's laugh ringing in her ears) but of course that only made me hit him harder and I (Dru's face screwed up as she heard Angel's laugh increase) I picked up the bottle of beer he was drinking and I smashed it in his face (Dru cried as she saw Angel cackle with laughter) oooohhh you really had to be there......but no problem cos I took some pictures it took a long time but it's worth it seeing you face (the pictures and the laughter was almost more than Dru could bear) yeah that face......priceless.'
Dru was on the floor, sobbing. Chris stopped tormenting her and just stood and watched her he knew he'd pushed it too far but to be honest he couldn't really care what was really bothering him was how badly it had affected Dru this time.
Dru hid her head in her hands, her ears ringing with Angelus' laughter. She couldn't escape she didn't know anything other than them memories; she didn't know what year it was or where she was or even her own name.
'Dru', Chris said softly kneeling beside her.
'Dru I'm sorry I didn't realise it would have such an effect on you I mean normally you laugh, your happy that Angel made you what you are but don't go super weird on us Dru....we need you...if we're gonna get anywhere, you're the most powerful and even though your crazy you see more than any of us, you understand more than any of us.'
Back in Wolfram and Hart the senior partners laughed. Eve wiped a tear of mirth away from her eye.
'Ahhhh that'll teach them to try to stop Spike being the champion', Eve said.
'Yeah and that's just the beginning they try anything again and oooohhh boy are they in for a world of pain!' Lindsay said.
'NO!' Dru screamed and she grabbed the stake that was inches away from plunging into her heart. Dru's face screwed up in the effort of trying to prevent Buffy from staking her. Buffy and Dru wrestled for a few minutes, Spike stood watching and ready to back up Buffy if anything happened.
