Part 13,

Harmony's nightmare is brought to you from the folks that did the Movie Blade Trinity and every girl who has worked their Asses off to get a waistline that makes members of both sexes lust after them. Be warned there is going to be some disturbing imagery during this chapter. Just warning in advance.

Now on with the story,


Harmony felt cold... It was a strange feeling for a Vampire but she could feel a tube down her throat.

"Hello Half-breed." A voice said as she opened her eyes... there before Harmony stood Illyria. "I am glad to see you awake." The blue demoness said as Harmony gagged on the tube.

"What do you want?" Harmony tried to say but the tube prevented her from sounding clear.

"Why... to make you suffer... you desired human blood... then I shall give you all the human blood you can take." Then a light went on and before Harmony stood rows of humans vacuumed sealed in bags and all the tubes leading from their arms and neck were all connected to the tube leading into her mouth. That was when Harmony knew that her waistline was history. Then Illyria took out a sword and placed into some rack and pushed down on it and blood started to slowly trickle into Harmony's stomach.

"Enjoy your blood Half-breed... I shall be back with the your next suffering. I have learned all of these from when Nightmares walked among us and I will make you experience each and every one that brought me pleasure when I was young." Illyria said as she moved over to shove her finger into Harmony's bellybutton and slowly twisted it around gouging a hole in her belly before leaving as she could hear the sound of heartbeats pound in her ears.

"Nooo..." Harmony moaned as the blood started to over fill her stomach and head up her digestive tract as she started to bloat like a water balloon attached to a faucet tap.


"Miss... " A voice said from the darkness. "Miss..." The voice said again as a mask and several tubes were being removed from her face. "Wake up..." there was a sound of urgency towards it.

"Nooo... nooo... Illyria... I'm sorry for Wes...leee." Harmony said as her consciousness started to become clearer. That and the constant Tha tump, Tha Thump that was ringing in her ears.

"How is she?" A female voice said as a cold restraint was removed from Harmony's ankle.

"A still little out of it but we can move her." The male voice said.

"Good, because we are going to need all the help we are going to need to get out of here." An older British sounding male voice said with a coldness that reminder he of Illyria.

"Half-breed..." the British guy said as he moved into her very blurry vision. "... What is your name?" Harmony's mind was sorting through the fog...

"Harm... Harmony..." she said with exhaustion.

"Okay Harmony... we are going to unbolt you... now." The British man said as Harmony's ears were pounding.

"Could you tell the person with the subwoofer to turn it down... I'm tired of hearing someone's heartbeat." Harmony said as she was helped up.

"Man... Whatever they did to her... they cranked up her hearing." A woman's voice said as Harmony's sight got clear enough to see a human looking woman that had Asian eyes... though the rest of her face looked like it was flattened and had a serious European jaw to it giving the woman an alien looking exotic feel about her.

"Wow... you must have been made fun when you were a kid..." Harmony said as her eyesight started to clear up some.

"Talk about looking weird, I'm not the one with weird a tattoo across the front of her forehead." The "Asian girl" said as Harmony was helped up off of the table she was on.

"Any clue of what they did to her..." the British guy said as Asia reached over to pick up a clipboard.

"Well pretty much what they did to the rest of us... Except she is listed as a Dhamile fifty-two." Asia said as Harmony's head started to pound.

"Does anyone have an aspirin... say about a crate's worth?" Harmony said as the elder English man said as harmony moved forward a few steps since after Harmony was picked up off of the platform that Harmony was strapped on.

"No on the Aspirin but I'll buy you a case of the stuff after we get out of here." The Black dude said as she moved forward before them and started to throw up.

"Okay... I can tell this is going to end badly." Asia said as a shimmer came through the wall.

"Guys... I think we can bypass the security around this place." A woman said as she came through the wall.

"That's good Nancy." The English man said as Nancy moved over to Harmony.

"Well I see that you aren't the only one that they did a number on." Nancy said as Harmony looked up at her.

"Yeah... well if I ever run into any guards... I'm going to eat them." Harmony said as she put her hands on her ears... "And could someone please make their heart beat more quietly... I think I can tell the number of beats you are having a minute." Harmony said as English came over by her and felt her forehead.

"Child... you are burning up." English said as he picked up Harmony in his arms but was stopped by the black dude.

"I'll carry her," he said as he took Harmony in his arms... All Harmony could do was not argue. "Well I finally get me a White chick in my arms." He said as Harmony bit her lips to let the blood moisten her lips.

"Okay... Carl... but remember... no "flame on" stuff okay." Asia said as Harmony felt the cold of the air across her bare feet.

"Will do Aoki..." Carl said back as Nancy moved over towards the door and proceeded to phase through the door like a ghost. "Hey English you ready?" Carl called out as the English man came over.

"I am ready..." with that he picked something up. "... Let's go." he said as they all braced to head out.


"So... let's see what is wrong with your chip." The technician said over the cut open skull of the Jasmine clone as he let the mini supercomputer called a C.O.R.T.E.X. start to crunch through the software code.

"Why?" The clone moaned out...

"Why what?" The tech said back as a guard came in.

"So... how is our small titard doing?" The guard said as the brain waveform started to jump from the recognition of his voice.

"Well... considering that her will is still strong given the amount of Human DNA and genetics we had to dump into her to make her docile." The tech said as the Jasmine clone started to shake...

"Yeah... well I like a little fest in my women..." the guard said as he leaned over the diagnostic bed and started to trace his hand down the clone's shoulder and going down her arm until he got towards her breasts before he thumped one of them with his finger.

"Hey... you have been warned... the next time I am going to cut off your Hemmoks when you do that to one of the females." The tech said reaching over to pick up a laser scalpel.

"Hey... can't a guy have some fun?" The guard said as the tech moved over to the computer.

"Helen." The tech called out to the computer. "Please assign attack protocol delta to Subject three fourteen and target the Mudder one point five meters from me."

"Assigned system programming has been done." The computer said back.

"What are you doing?" The guard said as the Jasmine clone got up.

"Resolving an issue." The tech said as 314 got up and started towards the guard slowly reverting to its decaying form.

"Wait... listen... the next one that is here I... I won't touch... hell not even during the prep I won't..." the Jasmine clone started to get closer. A slow growl started to form as it prepared its jaws...

"Helen... increase aggression level by three hundred percent." The tech said as spoke to the computer as settings were reset. The Jasmine clone started to move forward and with a quick move grabbed the guard by the throat.

"Good... Now here is the thing... don't fuck with females..." the tech said as the guard was lifted up off of the floor and the clone's fingers started to tear through the protective armor he was wearing.

"Please don't... listen man it was just a joke..." the guard said as he slowly started to urinate on himself.

"Error found..." Helen the computer said as the Jasmine clone stopped just about the time she was about to put her fist through the guard's head.

"Ah... yes. Subroutine fifty eight dash b." The tech said as he moved towards the terminal and tapped in a few commands.

"Wait this was a test?" The guard said in near shock.

"Not exactly..." The tech said as he sorted through the commands. "Helen... please stand unit three fourteen down and place her back in the chair." He spoke as the Jasmine clone headed back to the diagnostic chair still holding the guard by the throat.

"Um... Helen dear... love... honey snuggles... could you..." the guard stammered some as attempted to work the vice like grip of the Jasmine clone from his neck.

"Helen release the hold of subject three fourteen's hand from the subject's throat." The tech said as the computer signaled the chip inside of the demon's head to let go of the guard.

"Thanks..." the guard said as he rubbed his neck attempting to get the feeling back in his neck.

"Good now you learned your lesson..." The tech said as he moved back to the computer. "Oh... if you decide to hump one of the females... like you did with two twenty-two, well lets just say... I programmed her to not let go of your heart... if you get what I mean given what she can do." The tech said as he waited for the silence of the guard to be his acknowledgement that he understood. Above a lone figure was watching...


That bastard... Two twenty-two was her... Nancy was pissed... if it wasn't for her phasing powers she wouldn't have been able to get that chip out of her head. Now... he had programmed her to mame the guy after his... Nancy would have done it even without the programming. With that she watched as the Technician proceeded to finish the repairs on Shaldalla... She was getting Shal out of here...

"Fuck it..." Nancy said to herself as she laid semi phased in the vent duct she was in. They needed a distraction and she was going to cause one... With that she decided to freefall down to the floor. This was going to be so worth it...

"What the... " The tech said as Nancy phased her hand right into his chest and squeezed his heart. The resulting perforation of the pulmonary muscles by her finger and the hard twist by her hand caused the tech's heart to be torn from the connective valves that gave the rest of his body life giving blood. Another hard twist and further up and she had separated his lungs from his repertory tract leaving him to drown on his own bodily fluids. Without breaking her stride she phased through the floor and hoped across the supports under the floor until she got towards the guard and leapt up into his chest. One of the things she did was reach into his crotch and twist his testacies around inside of his "man sack" before inverting them and squashing them with her hand before climbing her way to his neck and crushing the bones of his voice box in the middle of his screams. With her final act she took her fingers and punched through one of his lungs before she hit his heart, then with a twisting move tore his heart aortas she continued to phase her fingers through his other lung. With a mortifying look on his face as he realized that he was dying; he looked at his attacker and attempted to say something but only blood fell from his lips as Nancy let go of him and let him collapse to the ground.

"That was for what you had done to me." Nancy said as she headed on over to the table where the dark skinned young woman was and put her hands into the woman's head and pulled out the chip. In fear and in shock the young woman shook in fear as Nancy placed the chip on the woman's chest.

"You have a name?" Nancy said as she picked up the tech's jacket and tossed it towards the woman.

"Shendell..." the woman replied back looking at Nancy as she started to undress the guard and the Tech. "Um... what are you doing?"

"Listen, I need you to change out of those clothes, probably security will be looking for you in your old clothes... But not for a guard and a tech." Nancy said as she stripped the guard of his pants, shirt, and weapons. Here, I'll go as the tech... You better go as the guard. Nancy said as she got up and handed her the Guard's uniform and Facemask.

"What's your Name?" Shendell said as she started to undress.

"Nancy..." Nancy said as she donned the Tech's lab coat as she started to drag the bodies to a storage area. That was when Shendell got up off of the table and moved over to bodies.

"I need to finish undressing them." Shendell said as she started to work on the undergarments leaving Nancy in shock.

"Why does that? I was going to toss them into the incinerator." Nancy said in defiance.

"I need to eat, and I haven't eaten in a few days... Now, I know that I distaste of eating humans... But if I don't I might... Eat someone." Shendell said as she started to cry... Listen I'll strip them. With that Shendell grabbed the rest of the clothing off of the bodies and looked at them before she opened her mouth and extruded a mixture of acid and insects as they quickly worked on the bodies as they munched away on the flesh. Within moments only a soupy goo was left as a white energy moved in and sucked back in the insects and the digestive mass back into her mouth. All Nancy could do was nearly barf when she had seen that.

"How... how long has it been since you last ate?" Nancy said in somewhat terror...

"I think it has been about two or three weeks..." Shendell said as she licked in one of the stray insects on the edge of her mouth. "I think... I will swear off of humans forever... I'll only eat animals from now on." Shendell said as she shuddered.

"Well I'll buy you a horse to eat when we get out of here." Nancy said as she phased her head through the door before continuing through. A second later she grabbed and pulled Shendell through the door before heading back to the others. It was high time to escape from this Frankenstein lab.


Gloria was sleeping in the cot in her office. By the gods she wanted to have sex... But... Iria... as the girl had been dubbed by some of the younger demons was now her main concern. Amazing what a pair of sweats could do. That was when her mind drifted back towards her past... as her thoughts of skinny-dipping with a few male celebs started to be disrupted as very curvy near nymph-like women started to swim up to her and she started to become aroused by them. That was when a Hobbit with leprosy poked his head out of the water beside her. That and winding up in a construction site in the buff...

"For the Glory of Glory..." a deformed creature said as a group of mind sucked humans acted as Human shields. She had been here when she...

"Buffy..." A girl's voice screamed out from above. All of Gloria's attention went upwards.

"Oh... Shit..." Gloria looked up to see a bald man with a knife and a girl with dark brown hair on some sort of support. That was when Gloria made the decision to save the girl... Suddenly she saw a version of herself fighting the blond woman...

"I'm coming Dawn," the blond woman said as she pounded on Gloria's counterpart.

"STOP..." Gloria creamed out and everything faded from around her except for the scaffolding for the tower.

"You... you did this..." Gloria turned to see a curly haired version of herself standing behind her wearing a black robe like garment. "You prevented me from going home..." the double said as Gloria realized that this was something different.

"All I did was scream Stop..." Gloria said to her double... Who was looking like she was suffering from major head trauma... or from a tumor?

"Did Ben... Ben and the Slayer put you up to this... or was it that Witch!" The double demanded...

"Wait... Hold one for one moment there... One moment I'm going skinny-dipping with Fabio, Brad Pitt and Adrian Brody. The next I'm here looking at you and the Blond babe that I have been having nightmares about." Gloria said as her double was having trouble focusing. She was getting scared and so was the double as the environment started to take on a feeling of nasty dominance.

"Easy there... why don't you sit down and." Gloria said as her double was looking like she had been traumatized.

"No... The Slayer did this or..." the double as looking around apparently trying to figure out if this was a dream or not for herself...

"The Slayer merely killed you... I brought you back to be my servant god." A disjointed yet familiar voice said as both Gloria and her double turned to see a figure standing before them in medical scrubs...

"Wait... I know you... your the one that..." Gloria stopped as the construction yard fell away to reveal a pit of fire.

"Yes... god... I am the one that tortured you for countless millina..." the man said as Gloria's double fell to the floor as she caught fire and started to scream in agony as the flames took on faces of people Gloria only knew in the back of her mind... That and the gnawing tendrils chewing their way into her double's head.

"Make it stop... Make it stop..." the double said. All Gloria could do was watch as flesh started to flake off of the double's body...

"I see that when I separated you from your human side and remade you... you turned out to be something more... useful." The man said.

"Remade me?" Gloria said as she started to move away but only found walls of fire forming around her.

"Help me... Help me. Old ones of old... HELP MEEEEE..." Gloria's double screamed louder in agony as a tendriled worm chewed it's way through her head and looped back to eat it's way into her arm. Gloria had to hold back the urge to vomit from this scene.

"Yes... to be a General of my foot soldiers... well I did need another one when The Slayer killed my servant Caleb." The man slash creature said as Gloria realized that she was on this thing's home turf.

"The Slayer... Wait that was that blond woman... she..." the realization hit... "She killed me... you brought me back from the dead to use as some... pawn to..." Gloria faced forward waiting for the man to strike at her...

"Use..." the man said... "That is an limited... yet accurate term of why I brought you back... Glorificus..." That was when Gloria's eyes shot up...

"Wait... that woman with the head injury... you... she and I... you..." Gloria attempted to process what was heading her way...

"Yes..." the man said...

"You hurt her... Me. she... I wasn't violent... she... I wanted to get home... she... I was Scared..." Gloria screamed as another landscape replaced he pit of fire.

"See the damage you have done... Millions dead... I was quite pleased by your work..." the man said as he appeared by her... "So vicious... so tempting... so many tortured souls... their taste was so excellent on my lips... you were a great cook of these meals... and all I had to do was make you addicted to human neural energy..." the man said as Gloria looked around to see the ever growing field of bodies around her...

"I won't let you win..." Gloria said as she took a step forward to attack her foe...

"Many have tried... but in the end I endured..." the man said as Gloria decided to wipe the grin off of his face. She decided to use a cowboy knuckle sandwich to do it. It wasn't until her fist went through the man's head without causing any damage... she realized that he wasn't really there.

"What the..." Gloria said as she looked up in shock.

"I have no form... I exist... and your mind is my playground you very small god... Even the Old Ones showed me respect of my deeds when they chose to battle Me." the man said as he moved back and shimmered into a ghostly demonic bird and flew off into the darkness as the double's body finally succumbed to the flames and turned to ash. With that Gloria woke up sweating and looked around her in fear... As memories flooded back towards her of some of the deeds she had done as she started to cry.

She had been a monster... And a victim at the same time.


Illyria was bathing; her body ached from how she was sitting... In the hours... no days... Illyria remembered, three days... three days since Spike had left after she had started to play that game the Sims... it seemed so very... simplistic and idiotic, yet it was a puzzle to solve. Strategies, decisions, planning... and having to learn... She had taken sympathy on the simple character she had created but it wasn't until she had discovered that getting out of the entombing structure that she felt like she was reliving several of her first days on this plain... She was getting desperate at points during the game but realized that for every action she had taken would allow the small figure on the screen to develop. So menial tasks but, it was like she was getting a more through crash course into what being human was like. Money... Relationships... mating, through the mating act was sped up and conception of young was cut down to mere seconds instead of the normal time it took, she felt that even with finishing the game, she felt like... Human... or had some more knowledge of how to function in it. That was when her stomach started to growl.

"Yes my form... I now understand what your needs are now..." Illyria said as she stretched her arm and rubbed a kink out of her neck. "I will feed you after I cleanse the stench from you." Illyria said as she placed her face under the artificial raindrop lets and let them work across the blue stain of her forehead. Her mouth was referring memories of a dish of flat brown colored round starch based droppings covered in a sweet sap and the churned matter made from the juice of the mammal called a Cow. That and she wanted cooked ovum with that... lots of ovum and those brown disks... Fred and Gunn had bonded many a time over meals like that... Maybe with a meal like that she would get to know him again and him with her.

"Pan... Cakes..." Illyria said sounding the words out with her lips and grinning some as she said it. Then it hit her ... the Oracles. I must visit the Oracles later... Illyria thought as she turned off the water and stepped on out.


Gunn was looking at Illyria... she almost looked like Fred... But given how she was eating would have put Fred to shame... where could old Blue place twelve seven inch pancakes in her stomach.

"Blue, you doing okay..." Gunn said as Illyria looked up from her meal as she started to run the scrambled eggs across the remains of the syrup almost taking her fingers to scoop up the sweet mix.

"I am doing well Charles... Just that I haven't eaten in a few days, my... body... well feels that it is getting the sustenance it desires." Illyria said as her blue and brown hair reflected in the light. Her simple blue dress and long sleeve shirt hid most of her blue stain but given how she was eating was getting most of the attention.

"Blue... you okay..." Gunn said as she looked out the window...

"No. I just remember the last time we... were here." Illyria said wondering how to proceed. "My memories are getting mixed, but it is the warmth and comfort I am getting here in this place and being with you is allowing me to cope with Wesley's loss." Illyria said as sadness started to take hold as she thought about Wes. "I know that I took advantage of your feelings for Fred with the... Fortification we did... But I wanted to feel something... anything... other than the rotting growth forming inside my entrails from losing Wesley." Illyria said as she placed the back of her blue stained hand against the sun-warmed window. Gunn just looked at her realizing that she was scared...

"Blue... I know that you felt for Wesley... Heck I know that you and Fred had strong feelings for him but I know that he wouldn't want you to dwell on the past." Charles said as he moved forward and offered his hand as he stroked her palm with the back of his hand as he was attempting to get Illyria to take his hand.

"Charles... I wish to pursue a relationship with you... But I am afraid of my feelings being taken advantage of... I wish to bare your young... yet I wanted to bare Wesley's... I know that you and Wesley had feelings over me... Fred..." Illyria took her hand off of the window and brought both of her hands together on her forehead as she rested her elbows on the table. "I do not know if I am human or demon... But I feel something... more basic than I have ever known... I desire not to be alone." Illyria said as a tear left her now human eyes.

"Blue... who do you want to be?" Charles said to Illyria. "Do you want to be Fred, the quirky science geek girl from Texas who loves tacos and having Chinese food, or do you want to be Illyria, Demon Ruler of the Primoridum, who is able to take down an army." Gunn said as Illyria looked up at him.

"I wish that I could balance my human side with my demon side." Illyria said as she looked at Gunn. "My life, was once of battles now... I feel like I am in the realm of Pylea. Inside of that Cave..." Illyria spoke as her attention started to shift away from Gunn to a series of three figures standing a good distance away. "Those three have been following us." Illyria said going from sadness to suspicion.

"Yeah, I have noticed that." Gunn said as he kept his eyes on Illyria.

"Why type of gear do you think they have?" Illyria said looking down at her eggs.

"Well, one I'll see if I can get a good look at them. Why don't you finish up your eggs and I'll pay the check." Gunn said, as Illyria looked at him some tilting her head to one side. With that Gunn got up to pay the check, but before he could turn around Illyria was gone.


"Where the heck did she go?" One of the photographers said as he pulled his head up from the viewfinder.

"I don't know but unless she can go invisible, I think she is still there." Another Photographer said to his colleague.

"Let's not try to think that... I mean she did rip some very large creatures apart with her bare hands." the senior of the two said back.

"Yeah... Clive... Yeah... I get what you mean... but hey... the people want to know what's she like." Then the Photographer looked back through his own lens. "Becka just got the glass off of the table. Now if she has finger prints we can run them and find out who she is." He said as the West coast sun started to bare down on his already sunburned neck.

"Uh... Bert... I think we better start thinking about how we are going to explain ourselves." Clive said as he started to tap very hard on Bert's shoulder.

"Clive... you are messing up my shot... I mean when old Smurfette shows up again I want to catch a picture of her." Bert said looking through his long-range telephoto lens.

"Yeah... Bert... I think the lens you are using might be a little too long for how close she is." Clive said as the tapping started to turn into pounding.

"Well if you can see her, why don't you take a photo of her blueness?" Bert said as he saw through the viewfinder that Becka was waving at him and pointing something out. Using what skills he had from learning to read lips, he made out the words... BERT... SHE IS RIGHT BE...

"Clive... how close is Smurfette?" Bert said as the pounding from Clive's fist turned to a death grip on his shoulder.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME SMURF!" A very pissed, very female voice said from right behind him. "ONLY ONE DARED TO CALL ME SMURF!"

"Clive... Did I make a payment on my life insurance last month?" Bert said wondering who had lost bladder control first, him or Clive.


These two pieces of muck, Hoe dare they spy on her... If they were in her army, she would have slain them where they laid curled up. They even stank from the filth they extruded into their garments.

"Bert... I think calling her Smurf might be construed as being called a racial slur..." The one called Clive said as the one called Bert seemed to behave in a way that he would avoid her wrath if he didn't move.

"Yes... Bert... turn and show me the face of the piece of muck that dares to stalk me from the shadows." Illyria said taking a firm stance before them.

"Listen, um if you are going to press charges..." Clive said looking at the cold look in her eyes...

"Where I am from... doing what you have done, I should beat, and batter you for such an intrusion before I pull your eyes from their sockets to view the damage I have done. That is before I have the enforcers take you away." Illyria said making her stance clear leaving off the parts of the Disembowelment and being burned alive. "But I believe that wouldn't stop others like you... short of wearing your tanned skins as trophies." Illyria continued. The smell of the stink on them was more potent now after those words were said. That was when the one called Bert turned around. Illyria's stare grew more focused upon him.

"Listen, I will let you have the film and I'll just walk away from here and..." Bert said attempting to reason with her. "No hard feelings." He finished.

"Who is your master, MUCK that does not deserve to be called such or by it's own name." Illyria glared at the two men.

"Well, if you are going to sue, I am in the employ of the National World News." Bert said as Illyria moved forward with an even sterner look on her face.

"No... Who sent you... that is the master I wish to send your heads to as a message." Illyria said as a loud gulp came from the two men.

"Okay... know this... that if you kill us then..." Clive was attempting to be the reasonable one.

"Did I say you could speak MUCK!" Illyria growled as she made fists so hard that the tissue underneath started to crackle loudly.

"I mean you can have the film... heck file a restraining order. Hell we'll even move out of state." Clive pleaded.

"No..." Illyria said keeping her stance.

"Okay... what do you want?" Bert started to think of a way out of this.

"I wish to know why your master has sent you on an errand that will certainly end in your deaths by my hands." Illyria said as she studied their movements. "You may speak now!" She added, as her intimidation became one of her better tools. That was when one of the men that had Identified himself as Bert started to speak.

"Okay... we are just freelance photographers, you know guys that go around and keep an eye on public events, concerts, politics... Hell I have even photographed a few celebrities having coffee with their friends..." Bert said wondering if he had said the right thing. "Listen... anyone that is news or has been in the news, it's my job to get pictures of them... and since that entire doorway to hell thing recently that you were involved in with the Lord of the Rings crowd... well you have been in the news... hell since your little ass kicking there are a lot of folks ho want to know about you." Bert finished as Illyria moved deep into thought.

"You were following me so that you could learn about me to let others know about me because I am a curiosity to them." Illyria said as she tilted her head to one side.

"Yes... but not in so many words." Bert said as he started to shift his weight around so that he was comfortable in his crouching position.

"How much have you learned about me?" Illyria said as the anger started to turn restrained fury.

"Well, other than the fact that you went by the Name Winifred Burkle, a grad student that disappeared for a period of five years... unlike the girls that went missing under a certain professor, shows back up has a few vortexes that try to swallow her up as she is giving a presentation of her theories of trans-dimensional vortexes. Then her long time professor up and disappears with no trace to be found other than a struggle and a weird book of occult in his office disguised as a biology text.

Then you worked for a P.I. in the local area dealing with and I quote a client here, "The things that go bump in the night and come out of horror movies." unquote. Then after that you show up on the Wolfram and Hart employee listings as being head of Research and Development, now I can't figure out why a law firm had a science lab and a particle accelerator. Now giving how much weird stuff happen around you, I'm thinking that there is more going on with you. Given that your image of you in the Helicopter was pretty much broadcast around the world." Bert said as Illyria turned her gaze from the two us and to the ground. Her face showed worry and concern.

"How... many people now about the true me?" Illyria said with concern growing in her voice.

"Well since you in that helicopter a few weeks ago... word got out about you...Hell that was a worldwide event hell even folks in Hawaii even saw the stuff..." Bert said as Illyria grew bit apprehensions.

"Film NOW!" Illyria said as she turned towards what she needed to do... With that Burt got fearful as Illyria started to turn more aggressive. Bert and Clive hit the button on the bottoms of their three thousand dollar cameras and started to rewind their film.

"Listen... I know what we did set you off but we won't be the last ones... you could at least cut people some slack... It ain't like you haven't told your folks yet." Clive said, as he knew that they were about to have their lives ended. Then as Illyria ran the film canisters in her hands it looked like she was deep in thought. Fred's parents would have seen the images of her... that were when Illyria's chest grew tight.

"You pieces of muck..." Illyria said as she looked with fury in her eyes but it subsided as she felt knowing that killing these two wouldn't prevent her secret from getting out. "Here is your film..." Illyria said as she moved over and preceded to shove the film rolls she had into their pants. "I will be watching for you... If I see you again I will demand things of you that even Flagellum, the Destroyer of Realms will not bring to me when I used to sleep with his elongated eared head against my bosom as he watched and guarded over me while I slept." Illyria spoke as the two Paparazzi realized that they were about to be turned into her personal bitches as they started to run away. With that Illyria moved over the berm to see the van they were using streak away only leaving a hint of oily burnt rubber in their path.


Gunn looked over to see Illyria standing by his truck.

"Where did you go?" Gunn said concerned that she had left several bodies in her wake.

"To deal with our spies..." Illyria said looking over at the beach. "Charles... I... Did not kill them..." Illyria said as if she was drained emotionally.

"Blue... you okay... did they threaten you?" Charles said with concern.

"No. They did not... they..." Illyria stopped before proceeding. "They knew about me... Fred... some about my... disappearance..." That was when Illyria's mood clearly changed. "Do you find me... attractive?" Illyria said as she started to look at her arms and hands.

"Wait they were following because they thought you looked..." Charles was attempting to process this.

"No... I have gained an interest among humans because of my appearance as well as my powers..." Illyria felt more concerned.

"Wait... you mean... that they took pictures of you to..." Charles was processing this in his mind.

"Lust after... and... To explore who I am..." Illyria said as she took notice of a bird in flight. "I feel like that Avery in flight behind you... gaining attention because it is there doing what it does." Illyria said as she started to become concerned.

"Want to get out of here?" Charles said to Illyria...

"Yes... I feel that I have things to do..." Illyria said as Charles leaned over to unlocked the door and allowing her to get in.

"So what do you want to do next?" Charles said as he put the keys in the ignition and started the truck.

"I wish to find a secluded beach and swim in the waters of this world." Illyria said as she slowly moved her hand and placed it on the steering wheel on top of Gunn's.

"That is what you want to do?" Charles said as Illyria leaned over to him.

"Yes... I do..." Illyria said as she pulled the stain back on her hand and started to snuggle on his neck. "You wish to do this with me? Be like mortals of this world feeling the life of it touch our flesh?"

"Yes... I think?" Charles said as Illyria looked at him with worry.

"You do not wish to be with me? Because of what I have done..." Illyria said pulling away from him.

"No... But you are acting like there is something up. Why don't you tell me okay." Charles said as Illyria looked back up at him.

"I fear that Fred's... my parents may have seen me in this form... I am distressed over the idea that lying to them about what happened to Fred... me... may have them coming here for answers I do not have... I wish to go to the beach so that I can allow the waves to drain away my tension and allow the calm my mind so that I can find an answer to this." Illyria started to worry more... "If you desire... I will allow you to fornicate with me at your pleasure while we are there." Illyria said biting her lip.

"How about a walk on foresaid beach and you tell me more about yourself like when we were at Slayer House." Charles said as Illyria pondered this.

"You wish to speak of my life... and forgo the Fornication?" Illyria said worried. "Was my act of fornication not up to Human standards? Did I perform the act wrong?" Illyria said with concern.

"No.. It wasn't that you did it wrong... just that I want to get to know you more before we do it again." Charles said as Illyria started to realize what he was getting at.

"I understand... You seek an intellectual intimacy with me before you seek one of Sexuality." Illyria said pulling herself closer to him.

"No... Just that you have Fred's memories and what I know of you is you either being Miss Queen of the Universe or someone that want to fight an endless battle." Charles said as he moved his hand around her and started to rub the back of her neck with his thumb. "But... I think you have a softer side than you let on even if you don't know if you are a demon or a human. Hey even gods do have a soft side..." with that Charles leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "Now lets see if we can find that beach." Charles said as he put the truck into gear and drove off.
