Dislcaimer: I don't own the Buffyverse...Yet. Mwahahahahaha...ahem. On with the story.
"Who made you?" Justin pointed the taser at the vampire's throat. It gulped unneccessarily and eyed the electric weapon nervously. It muttered something. "What?"
"Spike," it repeated clearly. Justin swore and stepped back from the vamp angrily. It sighed in relief, then the next moment it gasped as it turned to dust. He pulled out his cellphone and dialed in a number.
"Hey, Erika? Can you give me Cori's number?"
Spike broke the kiss to move down to her neck, morphing to his vampiric face. She gasped sharply when he bit her neck, though she didn't fight him. He looked up at her, returning to his human face. "I ever tell you Slayer's blood is a powerful aphrodesiac?" he said suggestively.
"No," Cori smiled. "How powerful?" She tilted her head so he could reach her neck easier. He grinned and licked away the blood on her neck and shoulder.
"I'll show you," he promised. He kissed her again, but this time they broke apart because her cellphone started ringing. He swore, a lot more colorfully than Justin, as she groaned and pulled it out. "Who is it?"
"I don't know," she frowned at the unfamiliar number. "Hello?"
"Cori?"
"Justin?" She was surprised. Spike growled at the name.
"Cori, It's Spike. He's been siring vampires."
"What!" Cori looked up at Spike in surprise. He raised an eyebrow wonderingly at her expression.
'What?' he mouthed. She shook her head and listened to what Justin was saying.
"Are you sure?" she asked. "What if they're just lying?"
"Trust me, they're not."
"Look, I'll talk to you about this tomorrow," she hung up.
"Well?" Spike asked.
"Huh?" she looked back at him. "Oh, nothing, just...have you turned anyone lately?"
"What?" Spike's expression turned to one of shock. "No."
"A lot of vamps have been saying your their Sire," she added quietly.
"I haven't Sired in years," he argued. "How could I, with that bloody chip in my head?"
"It hasn't worked in a while though," she pointed out.
"Luv, trust me, the only human blood I've had is yours."
"I know, but..." she trailed off, looking down. He placed a finger under her chin and tilted her head so she was looking at him.
"Luv, trust me," he repeated. She studied him for a moment, then nodded.
"Cori!" Buffy hugged her daughter when she stepped inside the house. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, what's going on?" Cori asked. Her mom didn't usually look this freaked out. "Is something wrong?"
"Spike's been turning people," Buffy explained.
"I don't-"
"Oh, my God," Buffy's eyes widened. "You think he didn't do it."
"Well, is there any proof? Other than vampires saying he did?"
"He's evil," Buffy sounded exasperated.
"No, he's no-"
"I just heard about Spike," Angel strode in, cutting off Cori. "Where is he?"
"I give up," Cori threw up her hands in exasperated surrender.
"If he isn't doing it, why would they say he was?"
Drusilla pulled the girl's wrist, leading her outside. The girl followed obediently, giggling. "What are we going to do now, Spike?" she asked, looking at what she thought was the blonde vampire. Drusilla had hypnotized her only a minute or two before. Dru didn't answer, except to morph to game face.
"Another new vampire popped up last night, claiming that Spike was her Sire," Justin told Cori a couple of days later.
"That's impossible," she frowned. Spike had been staying in her room for the last few days. He hadn't left the entire time, even for patrolling. Of course, Buffy didn't know.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, there's no way he could've killed anyone."
"Hey, what's up?" Dani joined them, resting her head on Cori's shoulder.
"Spike turned another human, but she says it's impossible," Justin said scathingly.
"It is impossible," Dani agreed with her friend. "I've been keeping an eye on him, there's no way he could've killed anyone."
"Then explain why nearly every new vampire in the last two days has said he's their Sire?"
"Because vampire are lying morons," Dani shrugged. "Or, someone else is calling themselves Spike."
"That's possible," Justin agreed grudgingly.
"Well there you go," Dani smiled. "Come on, Cori, we're supposed to go to the hotel."
"You're earlier," Cordy stated when the two girls made it to the hotel.
"We'll live," Dani shrugged. "Where's Connor?"
"He's asle-" Cordy was interrupted by a loud wailing. "Never mind."
"I'll get him," Dani offered and went to the baby's room.
"So, I hear Spike went all evil," Cordy gave Cori a significant look.
"Oh, shut up," Cori rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, in Connor's room,
"Hey, baby," Dani cooed softly, picking him up. Connor quieted down and looked at her. "Didja miss me?"
"I did," a voice, definetiley not Connor's, said from behind her. She turned to see Angel smiling softly.
"Hey Angel, it's been what, four days since the opera thing?" she greeted him. "Since our little...bit of fun."
"Yeah," he muttered. Then he cleared his throat. "Um, Dani, about that. We, I...When I kissed you, it was," he looked up to see her watching him intently. "I really like you," he blurted it out, ending somewhat lamely.
"Really?" she asked.
"Well, yeah."
"Wow," she exhaled. "No one's said that to me since...well, ever," she smiled. "It's nice."
"I think he likes you too," Angel added, looking at Connor. The baby had snuggled against her in her arms.
"Of course he does.
He is a boy, after all," she joked. Angel smiled. "So,
about you liking me..." she trailed off, giving him a sly look.
Had he been a human, he would've blushed. Luckily enough for him,
vamps don't. So instead he just looked awkard.
"But," he
added suddenly, "you know we could never-"
"Shag? I know," she smiled when she saw him roll his eyes that the Spike-ish word.
"Pretty boy, what's Mommy's name?" Dru half-sang to the hypnotized boy kneeling in front of her.
"Spike," he answered. She smiled and patted his head.
"Good boy, you get a reward," she ducked down and started to turn him.
"Calm down," Cori rolled her eyes as Spike paced the room. After a few days, he had started to get cabin fever. He needed out. And to kill something. He really needed to kill something. Or to hurt something, either way.
"I need to get out, luv," he ran his hands through his hair. "I can't just sit here."
"So watch Passions or something," she advised.
"That's not working anymore," he shook his head. "I just want to kill something."
"Well, do you have to kill something?" she asked slyly. He stopped and looked at her, a smirk sliding over his lips.
"That might help," he moved to her, pulling her to her feet and against him.
"Might?" she asked, slightly indignant. He kissed her.
"You know what I mean," he said against her lips.
"Good," she smiled and kissed him, silently thankful Buffy was spending the night at Willow's.
Hope the chapter wasn't too bad. This idea for Dru has been popping up a lot, lately, so I finally decided to put it in the story. Hoped you like it. Review, please. Even if you don't like it, though all flames will be used to burn Riley. Jerk. Anyway, please review, pleeaasse. Thank you.
