A/N: Look, I updated . Aren't you proud, I've been in the mood for writing recently, and you're benefitting from it! Ok, this is an uber short chapter, kind of an interlude really, because things are going to swerve off in a dramatic direction after this chapter, and if you don't like evil Spike, I wouldn't advise reading anything that comes after this, but if you like evil Spike who belongs to his even more evil Sire Angelus, then read ahead

Also something I wanted to make clear, I've fucked around with the timeline a bit and W&H did bring Darla back, however Connor never existed and therefore Darla never staked herself, meaning she's still out there somewhere with Dru... Three guesses to where the story's heading next...

And jsut a warning, I've never wrote Darla before so if it's really bad sorry! And as I mentioned before this is a kinda strange chapter, just sorting things out a bit, and I'd like to repeat once more, Spike is soulless, he has the chip and the time he has spent with the scoobies may have 'softened' him up a bit, but in the end he'll do anything to be back with his Sire again and as soon as he gets the chip out he will go back to killing people without remorse again, so if you like soulful or buffy-whipped Spike, prepare to be dissapointed.

Caged - Chapter Eleven

Angelus took a moment to admire the sight before him before yelling upstairs to the minions. He gave them orders to release the slayerettes and from his position on the floor Spike knew that these orders were genuine, and not some kind of trick, he knew when his Sire was being truthful and this was most certainly one of these times.

Half an hour later and the scooby gang was free and he was upstairs curled up in his Sire's bed drifting off to sleep. Angelus had murmered promises about getting the chip sorted out and then left him alone, something about a last bit of family business, whatever that meant.

/\/\/\

He hadn't wanted to leave his childe so soon after finally getting him back, but there was one thing he needed to sort out before things could get back to how they used to be, something to do with the other half of the family who were currently wandering around L.A

Things weren't going to be perfect, not by a long shot, especially seeing as he had no idea to whether or not his childe was attatched to the little scooby gang he had been an unofficial member of for the past three and a bit years, but any attatchments he had would soon go away when they got off the hellmouth, there was no way they were going to stay there for long.

/\/\/\

Spike woke a few hours later to the feel of a cool pair of lips gently nipping at his neck and he opened his eyes and took in the view of his Sire's head as the gelled hair rubbed against his face. He soon woke up and his hands drifted down Angelus' back, rediscovering what he had forgotten a long time ago. He felt the smirk against his neck when Angelus realised that he had woken up and the cool lips were raised to meet his.

Neither vampire could hold back a moan when Angelus' tongue slid into the younger vampire's mouth and he rolled over to cover his childe fully with his body. He eventually withdrew his tongue in favour of licking and kissing his way down Spike's chest before flipping the pair of them over. However, before things could progress any further there was a cough from the doorway.

/\/\/\

"Never could wait to get your hands all over him could you?"

Spike bit back a groan at the loss of his Sire's body against him, and it only then registered just whose voice that had been. This time he didn't bother to bite back the entirley different groan which earned him a slap around the head from the dark haired vampire.

"Darla"

"I heard you were back in town"

"Good news travels fast"

"And bad even faster"

By now Spike had rolled over from his position on the bed and sat up, openly scowling at Darla, who spared him nothing more than the quick roll of her eyes.

"I heard the lengths you went through to get him back, I wouldn't have said that he was worth it myself"

"Funny, I remember you saying something entirely different when you were enjoying a nice, hard-"

"William" A warning growl from his Sire cut off the end of his sentence and it was only then when he realised something else.

"Is Dru-"

Once again the end of his sentence was cut off, but it was something he was used to, being the youngest member of their family.

"She'll be here in a few days"

The sharp response from his Sire puzzled him but he let it slide in favour of hearing what Darla had planned for the family.

"We'll be staying here for a couple of weeks whilst we get things sorted with the chip then we'll be moving back to England for a while. Of course we'll have to sort out the little witch of the slayer's so no restoration spell can be attempted, but other than that I think we might as well leave the group alone, they aren't going to come after us and they'll keep out of our way"

The witch, Red, Willow. Despite his hardest efforts he and Willow had become quite close over the past couple of years, especially after her whole evil faze and now she was going to be killed. Of course she was, she was the only one capable of taking his Sire away from him, he was evil, it shouldn't matter. It didn't matter, not anymore, as long as he was with Angelus everything else paled in comparison.

He suddenly became aware of the silence in the room and he realised that thy had only mentioned killing Willow to see the effect it would have on him, a test of sorts he supposed. Whatever the outcome, they seemed pleased enough with it as they continued discussing plans.

Spike stood up and walked over to the window and stared out, the sooner they left this place the better.
