The Greatest Vampire
Chapter 7: A New Player
Darla walked back and fell to the floor. She was shivering. Her whole body was covered in sweat. Angelus stepped forward and smiled. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted her by the neck.
"Don't worry, Darla. I'll make you see the real world again," Angelus said happily.
"NO!" Conner yelled breaking the chains holding him.
He jumped forward and knocked Angelus off his feet. Drusilla stepped forward but Conner knocked her aside. He grabbed Angelus and threw him at Drusilla. The son of two vampires grabbed one of the swords that Spike and Angel were fighting with and broke the chains holding Spike.
"I'll take the bitch," Spike said as his face vamped out.
Conner tried to stab Angelus but the vampire rolled over. He jumped up and was about to attack but Spike tackled him and knocked him to the ground.
"I thought you were going to fight Drusilla!" Conner yelled.
"I said gonna get the bitch. I thought that I was being specific," Spike replied.
"Kill Drusilla," Conner ordered.
Spike sighed and went back to fighting his ex. Conner turned back to Angelus who jumped back up. Conner slashed at him again. Angelus grabbed the blade, completely cutting his hand. He kicked his son back and grabbed the sword by the hilt and threw it at Conner. Conner dropped just in time so he wouldn't be hurt. Angelus picked him up and threw him into the door. Angelus walked over to Darla. He put his bloody hand to Darla's mouth. She screamed at the disgusting taste of vampire blood. Conner retaliated and threw Angelus off of his mother. He grabbed the sword and freed Dawn.
"Get her out of here!" He yelled kicked an oncoming Angelus.
Dawn grabbed a robe that Angelus was probably going to give to Darla once she was a vampire and threw it to her. She put it on and followed Dawn out of the room. Dawn led Darla to the car and helped her in. She grabbed two crossbows and loaded them.
"You know how to use on of these?" Dawn asked.
Darla nodded. "What the hell is going on?" The former vampire asked.
"I don't know," Dawn responded.
"Okay, I'm ah? I think my name is Darla. I'm a vampire. Where's my baby?" She asked.
"Ah, you're not a vampire. You're not a vampire!" Dawn told her.
"Wait, Conner… he was with that Power that Was. She… she was use… using Cordelia's body. I… I tried… tried to stop him, but he… he killed that girl," Darla stuttered through tears.
"Conner's evil?" Dawn asked.
"NO!" Darla shrieked.
"Ah ok. Well um… we'll just wait for him and Spike to get out here," Dawn said reassuringly.
"Spike's here?" Darla asked looking up. "Oh God," she said after Dawn nodded.
"Tell me he's not our only hope."
"No, we have Conner too."
BACK INSIDE!
Angelus and Drusilla had managed to move the fight into the mansion's living room. Conner kicked Angelus onto a chair and threw him onto a glass table, which shattered instantly. He picked him up by the Conner and repetitively beat his father in the face. Angelus threw him off and got up. He had never thought Conner was this strong.
"Hey Conner, once you're mom and I are a happy couple again-,"
Conner punched him in the face before he could respond. The two continued to fight before Spike grabbed Conner by the collar.
"We are leaving," he said seriously.
The two ran towards the door and outside. Spike jumped into the car and Conner quickly hopped into the passenger seat. Dawn floored it and they sped off. Angelus and Drusilla ran out after them. They ran out just in time to hit the morning sunshine. Angelus pulled Drusilla in front of him and jumped back into the house, while he watched Drusilla burn. She screamed in agony as she ran to a sewer and dropped in. Angelus frowned. He kinda wished that was how he killed Cecily instead of getting Drusilla to stop trusting him all together.
"Oh well. Soon I'll have Darla working with me," he said turning back and walking into the mansion.
IN THE CARConner and Spike had switched so Conner was sitting next to his mother and Spike was with Dawn. Darla was regaining sanity and she was pretty sure she knew what was going on.
"So Spike, you're our knight in shining armor, huh?" Darla asked.
"I guess you could put it that way. Yeah," he replied pulling his coat over his head so he didn't get hit by any sunlight.
"Well that's just… going to get us all killed. I've died four times you know. Being taken in and out of Hell is getting painful," she complained.
"Four times?" Dawn asked.
"The Master sired me, Angel killed me for your sister, Drusilla sired me, I killed myself to save my son. That equals four."
"Would you be mad if I said I appreciate you dying the fourth time?" Conner asked.
Darla gave a laugh.
"Where are we going?" Spike asked.
"Well we'll need Willow to put Angel's soul back," Dawn replied.
"Or you could do it," Conner suggested.
"No!" Spike yelled.
"Why not?" Dawn asked.
"Buffy would drive a stake through my heart, so damn fast you'd miss the show if you blinked, and I don't fancy the idea of being an allergy problem," Spike replied.
"That hair gel already is," Darla said covering her nose.
"You're not helping," Spike yelled.
"Conner's going to be in the fight, why not have a warrior-witch? She looks like she could fight Angelus and Drusilla by herself," Darla said encouragingly.
Dawn couldn't help but smile. "Thanks," she said.
"Just the honest truth," Darla replied.
"Guy's look ahead," Dawn said pointing.
Everyone looked up and Spike pulled his coat down. Dawn hit the break. Everyone got out of the car and they got out of the car. For some reason it was really dark in the area. They looked at the sun. There was nothing eclipsing it but it looked really weak, like it was about to blow out. Spike put on his coat and walked into a store. Everyone followed. He had walked into a weapon's store. He grabbed a sword and threw it to Conner. He grabbed a stake and threw it to Dawn but he heard it clatter. Conner and Spike turned to see Dawn and Darla looking at a vile on the wall.
"So you can do magic?" Darla asked.
"Uh a little bit," Dawn replied.
"Show me something," Darla said.
Dawn thought for a second. She smiled and flicked her fingers at Darla. Her robe was replaced by jeans and a red tank top. Darla smiled.
"Thank you," she said stretching.
"Ladies, we have work to do," Spike said impatiently.
Conner picked up the stake and threw it to Dawn. Spike threw Darla another stake but she ignored it. She walked over to the weapons on display and smashed the glass case with her hand.
She grabbed a sword and strapped a dagger to her belt. She threw another dagger to Dawn and handed Spike and stake. She walked out the door and Spike looked after her in disbelief.
"Alright, our priority is to find Angel and put his soul back. He'd protect any of us with his life, so we'll do the same," Darla said.
"He wouldn't save me. And Angelus was right about what would happen if we put his soul back. There can't be two candidates for the Shanshu prophecy. It'll tear this dimension apart," Spike said.
"Spike, I don't speak idiot. Explain what the hell you're talking about," Darla snipped.
"There is a prophecy that says a vampire with a soul will become human after he plays some big part in the apocalypse. When Angel and I were both all soulful it was tearing our dimension to shreds," Spike explained.
"We'll Angel was human for a minute before Drusilla sired him. Maybe that was the prophecy," Conner suggested.
"It wasn't. I'd know," Spike insisted.
"What ever," Darla said walking passed him and into the darkening world.
"I hope Angelus kills her," Spike said walking after her.
New York City.
Buffy jumped back and stabbed a demon with her dagger. She kicked it back and it fell on top of Faith, who had her dagger pointed up.
"Ew. Nasty," Faith said pushing it off and getting up.
She had brown blood on her purple shirt and slime all over her face.
"Shouldn't have fallen down," Buffy said whipping her dagger on the dead demon's jacket.
"What's the fun if you're not rolling?" She asked whipping demon blood and slime off her face.
"Yo bitches!" Two teenagers yelled.
Buffy and Faith looked. One was wearing baggy black pants, a black t-shirt with a skull on the front and a leather jacket. His brunette hair was in a mow-hock and his left nostril was pierced. His tongue was hanging out to show off a steal stud. He had metal everywhere.
The other was a girl with messy blonde, purple, and pink hair. She was wearing black pants and a black tank top. Her nose and stomach were both pierced. She had a symbols tattooed onto her arms and visibly on her stomach.
The two hopped the fence to the graveyard and walked up to the slayers.
"Whoa. You two need knew looks," Faith said taking in the ugly sights.
"Don't critique, Slayer. We here you lookin for the Sword of the Primitive. We think we can help," the boy said.
"We don't need your help," Buffy said walking passed them.
The girl grabbed her and threw her back. The slayer landed on a tombstone and it broke on her back. Faith kicked at her but she jumped back and the boy grabbed her foot and spun her through the air. Buffy and Faith jumped up and the girl stepped forward.
"I'm a slayer. He's demon... Sex is weird," the girl said stepping forward.
"Here's your sword," the guy said throwing Buffy a sword he just drew.
"Gem ain't there. It's in Cleveland. A vampire named Angelus has it," the girl said.
"Angel?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah. It's all across the demon realm. Angelus came to life and his old pal been ruffin it for about a week. Major awesome fightin. Psycho vamp and her vampire bitch just blew town," the guy said in a thrilled voice.
"Spike," Buffy whispered.
"B, we gotta get over there, now!" Faith exclaimed.
Not a lot to say. Please keep reviewing.
