Disclaimer: If I owned any part of the Buffyverse, then that would be a sign of the Apocalypse. Or, in the case of Buffy, one of several.
penguins took my sanity: spike's not cheating on cori. dani's with angel.
angel sumoritos: thanx for the review.
suiko fan: yep, riley and justin are really AU. But I needed someone to be the annoying guy.
Dru ran her finger up the teenager boy's face. He moaned softly. "Tell Mummy her name," she cooed.
"Spike," he mumbled. She smiled and kissed his neck.
"Smart boy," she bit into his neck.
Spike nuzzled Cori's neck, licking away the last marks of blood. "Feel better?" she asked impishly.
"Much better," he nodded, grinning. "How long's your mum gonna be gone, again, luv?"
"Long enough for another round," she answered. He smirked and pulled her into another kiss.
Justin ran a hand through his hair, trying to figure it out. Cori adamantly refused to believe Spike was the killer, and said it was impossible. But every single vampire had stated Spike's name. Either she was lying, or one of Dani's theories was right. But which one, dammit. Then he remembered something. Some of the latest vampires, especailly the males, had described an exotically beautiful woman. He wondered what the woman would have to do anything with it. He needed to talk to Spike.
Spike growled when somebody knocked loudly at the door.
"Dammit," Cori cursed, sitting up in the bed. "Spike, if it's not my mom, and they're really annoying, you can kill them."
"Promise?" Spike gave her a half-eager look.
"Depends," she started to pull her clothes back on. "Hold on!" she yelled at whoever was knocking on the door.
Justin waited impatiently for Cori to open the door. When she finally did he nearly ran inside. "What the fuck do you want?" she asked, her voice sounding edgy.
"Did I interrupt something?" he asked confusedly.
"No, nothing at all, you poof," Spike joined them, staying out of the sunlight streaming in from the windows.
"What?" Justin was definitely confused. "What's a poof?"
"What do you want, Justin?" Cori asked again before Spike could answer.
"A few of the vampires have started describing a woman calling herself Spike before turning them. I figured you'd know her," he directed the last part of Spike.
"Where they in a trance?" Spike asked, intrigued in spite of himself, as he already had an idea as to who this woman was.
"Kind of, why?"
"Drusilla's back," the bleached blonde stated, looking at Cori.
"Shit," she swore.
"Who's Drusilla?"
"Angel, what are you doing to that child? Is that a stake?" Dani raised an eyebrow when she saw Connor holding a small stick. "You're not training him to kill vampires, are you?"
"No, it's a hockey stick," Angel corrected her.
"Hockey?" Dani looked at him like he was crazy. "You aren't going to really put him in hockey, are you?"
"Why not? I love hockey."
"Has it ever occurred to you there's a reason they play it at night, in a closed room?"
"How can you not like hockey?" Angel asked.
"Easy," she answered.
"I think he looks adorable," Fred put in. "Don't you, Charles?"
"No," Gunn shook his head.
"Yes you do," she contradicted him.
"Yeah, but I prefer being masculine."
"Either way, it's time for his nap," Cordy picked up Connor. Dani rolled her eyes at the other brunette's back.
"I got to go patrol," Dani pullled on her jacket. "Wanna come with?" she asked Angel. He nodded, taking a stake out of a drawer.
One down, two to go," she quipped as she pushed the stake through one of three vampires' chest. Angel managed to keep the other two occupied, until she ran the wooden stake through a second's heart. The third ran when he saw he was out-numbered. Dani rolled her eyes. "They always run," she complained, before throwing the stake. It ran through the vamp's flesh, hitting the dead heart.
"It's instinct," Angel half-explained.
"Well, whatever it is, it's annoying," she looked sideways at him. She didn't mention that slaying had a nasty habit of making her horny. "So, you think any more are going to rise?"
"Not unless Spike's been extra busy," Angel answered.
"Or whoever's been saying they're Spike," Dani countered.
"Yeah, sure," he was totally unconvinced. "Let''s just go back, no more are rising tonight," he added, looking around the graveyard.
"You sure?"
"As sure as I can be," he replied.
"That tells me...nothing," she grinned, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "But why not, I wanted to watch Bones anyway."
"Bones?" Angel looked at her curiously.
"It's a tv show. Actually, one of the main guys looks just like you, with less spiky hair," she studied his face.
"Yeah, right," he grinned.
"I'm serious."
"All right, all right, I believe you," he said, sounding like he didn't. She just groaned and grabbed his wrist, pulling him towards her house.
Drusilla walked through the club, swaying slightly. She scanned the crowd, looking for another victim. A smile crawled on her face when she saw a familiar bleached blonde. She strode through the warm, living bodies, her eyes focused on him, ignoring the looks a few of the surrounding men gave her.He didn't sense her until she was right behind him. "My sweet William," she cooed. He turned around to face her. "Mummy missed you," she added, sounding reproachful, though her eyes betrayed her.
"Dru, why didn't you stay in Europe?" he asked.
"Mummy missed you," she repeated. He rolled his eyes.
"Mummy should have stayed with the chaos demon," he replied. She growled.
"The Light has destroyed your mind."
"This, coming from you?" Spike held back a laugh. "And what did Daddy do to yours?" She didn't answer. "Just go back to Europe, Dru," he advised. She looked at him, unbelieving.
Dru walked through the small crowd. Few people traveled by boat, especially at night. At first, Spike had been worried she wouldn't go, but fortunately her fickle personality encouraged her to leave. And she loved her Miss Edith enough to call his bluff about breaking the doll. Now she got ready to board the boat, a small grin flickering across her face as she continued to sense the same two boys following her. She turned into a small alley, still stalked by the boys. She swiftly spun around, lashing out with one hand, sending one into the opposite wall, and pinning the other by his throat. He screamed when she morphed to game face.
