It had been nearly three weeks since Delilah had first got to the Firefly home and was finally starting to feel accepted. She had gotten off the an obvious bad start by threatening to kill Baby. Since then, with her and Baby actually becoming friends, she had found herself with a part to play in many things. One of then, which she found very fun, was to cook some very... interesting things, especially when they had 'guests'.


The minute Delilah heard Baby run downstairs excitedly she knew they were going to have guests soon. She blew the severed head of her ex-boyfriend a kiss before vanishing downstairs herself.

Delilah was wearing a super tight, red and black Basque that had black lace and ribbons round the top and bottom. She was also wearing a short, burlesque style black skirt, fishnet tights and red and black platform heels. She liked to make sure that everything when together perfectly.

She also hadn't got her hair tied back for the first time in months.

The whole outfit made her look like the kind of dancers you find at those gothic strip clubs but she didn't care, it suited her.


She quickly ran into the kitchen to decide what to cook. There was a lot of meat, none left from Jessica but plenty from her friends. There was also liver, kidneys and a couple of lungs. All of which had belonged to Susanne, one of Jessica's friends. Susanne had been chosen to 'donate' her organs since all the others were smokers or heavy drinkers.

Delilah grabbed the liver out of the fridge and chucked it on the chopping board ready to be sliced into fine pieces. She liked cooking, it made it all the better if she got to kill her ingredients herself.


Baby waited at the roadside. She knew there wouldn't be any cars going by, apart from the one she was waiting for. Sooner or later it came and, just as Captain Spaulding had said, there were two guys sat in the front who were probably the same age as Delilah. One of them had brown hair and crystal blue eyes, the other was blonde, his eyes were also blue, but a lot darker then his friend's.

"Hey," the brown hair guy said in a cheery tone, "you lost?" Baby grinned.

"Naw, I'm not lost, I just need a ride back home!"

"Well, how far is it? If it's too far away then I'm sorry but no, we're on a tight schedule," the blonde one said abruptly and professionally.

"It's just down that road there, near the Doctor Satan tree! You ever heard of that? The Doctor Satan tree?"

"Urm, yeah. That's where we're headed," the brown haired one said with a slight edge f nervousness to his cheerful tone.

"Great! I'll show you the way," Baby grinned even more and climbed into one of the back seats of the car.


The drive wouldn't of been that long if the tires hadn't of burst. But it didn't matter, as of course, that had been planned by the Firefly's.

"Shit!" The brown haired guy said whilst sliding out of the car.

"Aw nuts! Looks like we're gonna have to walk the rest of the way back," Baby said whilst sliding out of the car herself.

"We are not walking," the blonde guy protested.

"Don't worry blondy! My brothers gotta tow-truck! We'll just walk back an' I'll get him to fix it up for you!" Baby grabbed both of the guys by the wrists before dragging them in the direction of her home.


When Baby and the two guys walked into the Firefly home they were greeted by the smell of cooking food. Delilah was busy preparing dinner and didn't realise that they had walked in until Baby spoke up.

"Hi Delilah!"

"Welcome back," she said sarcastically, refusing to look up from what she was doing.

"You stay here I'll go get RJ," Baby then said to the two guys before disappearing upstairs.


Delilah when on as if no one was there. She had seen the two guys when they had walked in, had recognised the brown haired one and decided that he wasn't going to see her face no matter what.

"Hey, I'm Matt and this is Luke," the brown haired guy said whilst gesturing to his friend.

"Great," Delilah said, moving to the fridge. She was now sure that she knew Matt, thank god he didn't recognise her.

"Urm, sorry if we're inconveniencing you at all..."

"Nope, it's fine. Mama likes having guest over anyways," Matt stayed silent for a few minutes, he knew that Delilah wasn't from the area originally. Her Australian accent was two strong. It reminded him of an old friend he had as a kid.

"So... what cha cookin'?"

"Food,"

"Yeah, but what kinda food?"

"Edible food," Matt sighed. It was obvious that Delilah wasn't going to talk to him.


Luke was being unusually quiet. Normally he would be complaining about anything and everything or he would be saying random 'did you know' facts that would generally impress most people.

Then Matt realised what could have been so interesting, Luke was staring at Delilah, well mainly Delilah's ass, or her boobs if she turned round enough.

"It's rude to stare, Luke," she said in a slightly seductive voice. Luke snapped out of his trance and apologised quickly. Matt thought that this was weird. Luke had never apologised for staring at a girls ass, also Delilah had been able to tell he was staring even though the only time she ever could of seen was when she went to the fridge.


Baby thundered downstairs with Mama in tow.

"RJ's left to go fix your car," she said whilst giggling.

"So these are the two you said about then Baby?" Mama was being overly friendly, like she was to all the guests.

"Ah-ha!"

"Well then dears, RJ is going to be a while. Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"We don't want to be of trouble," Luke still sounded apologetic.

"Oh, no worries. Delilah's nearly finished cookin' anyways," Mama smiled.

"Well, OK then. If you're sure."

Since it was Halloween everyone had to wear masks at dinner. Delilah was quite glad about this seeing as she really didn't want Matt to see her face.

"Are you kiddies sure you want to go see the Dr. Satan tree?" Otis asked mockingly.

"Well that is what we came for!" Matt kept insisting that they did, he seemed to be completely oblivious that Otis had been mocking their curiosity.

"Are you really sure?" Delilah said before Otis could.

"Yeh, of course,"

"So you want to go see the tree-" Otis continued mockingly

"-Even if it's not what you expected-" Delilah cut in, trying to annoy Otis. It would also annoy Matt and Luke since neither of them would get a word in.

"-And you want us to show you-"

"At any cost-"

"Yes, as Matt said for the fifteenth time, it's why we came this way in the first place!" Luke suddenly burst in.

"Well then, I guess we have no choice. But, before we take you there-" Otis said with a smirk on his face.

"-Care for some dessert?" Delilah cut in. She was holding a large knife in on hand and a slice of cake in the other.


Matt ate his cake slowly where as Luke was wolfing his down. Delilah inwardly grinned, as well as the icing sugar on the top of each slice, she had sprinkled it with a powdered sleeping drug. The dosage was just enough to knock some one out cold for a couple of hours. It wouldn't be long until the drugs affects started to kick in. Matt and Luke would start to feel drowsy after finishing the cake, when they would try to stand up they would feel light headed and dizzy. Quickly after this they would collapse and the drugs job would be done.


Luke dropped first. That then gave Matt about a minute of 'what the hell is going on' before he collapsed as well. The job had been done. Delilah got up and when upstairs.

"I want to make sure that they look pretty before they get to meet the Doctor," she muttered as she went.

XxXxXx

When Matt woke up he had no clue about what was going on. He was pretty sure that he was laying on the floor, he could also hear yelling a few feet away from him. It was Luke. He was being forced into a coffin shaped box, his face was covered in blood from two, intricate patterns cut along his face, jaw, neck and shoulder, he was also wearing a bunny suit. Baby saw that Matt had woken up and yanked him off the floor.

"Hey the other rabbit's awake!" She giggled manically.

Delilah walked over, holding a knife half hidden so that Matt couldn't see it.

"Let me do it! Let me do it! I wanna fuck him up a bit!" Baby squealed excitedly as Delilah then passed her the knife. Baby started to cut random patterns into Matt's face as he screamed in agony.


She finished up quickly and licked the blood off of the knife. The patterns weren't as professional or neat as Delilah's but then again she had had more practise.

Speaking of Delilah, she decided she wanted to toy with him for a while. Hurt him emotionally instead of physically

"Hello, nice to see that you're finally awake," she said sweetly, giving the slightest hit of a smile.

"What're you going to do to us?" Matt was definitely terrified.

"Nothing, don't worry. You'll like the Doctor anyway," her voice now when venomous.


Delilah leaned forward, her mask falling off of her face. She cursed under her breath, she had really been hoping that, that wouldn't happen.

"C-Cookie!" he spluttered, "Cookie! It's you! Oh my god I thought that you had died! Please, god! You have to help me! T-these people are psychopaths!" Delilah glared, he had recognised her straight away. This was not her plan.

"I don't know who you're talking about," she snapped coldly.

"How can you not know! We were best friends! When we were younger we used to play together all the time at that foster home. You always used to do all the cooking for every one since we all preferred what you made to the hired cook, you would always bake cakes and cookies on the weekends! We all ways said that you made the best cookies in the world, and believe me I've never tasted better! That's also why we called you Cookie remember? You refused to tell anyone your real name so that's what we knew you as. I was the only one you would play with since you said 'all the other kids were dumb and not worth your time'! I can remember that we used to make plans that when we were older we would buy a big house near the country and you could have your own restaurant that everyone would go to for miles around." Matt when quiet for a moment, "when I got adopted I promised you that I would ring you any time that I could. I would ring, send letters and cards, ask if I could see you, do anything that I could just to talk to you again... Then, one day a cop knocked on out door. He said that he wanted to talk to me, he said that the foster home had been burned down and that every one had died. I know it sounds pathetic, but I cried for hours. I never have been able to get over it either. Please remember!" Delilah gave Matt another glare.

"Cookie died the day you left," she spat, "hey, I'm finished with the rabbit. Send him away," Rufus walked over and started to drag Matt towards the coffin box where Luke lay inside.

"Cookie! No! Cookie, please! Help me!" he begged before he was thrown into the box.


The lid closed the two boys inside and they were slowly lowered down into the murky depths below. All the while Matt screamed from Delilah, or Cookie as he knew her.

"COOKIE! COOKIE! I'M SORRY! PLEASE!" She had decided that she had had enough and started to walk away. She could still hear Matt's screams.

Baby ran over to her.

"So! Who was he?" She asked, obviously referring to Matt.

"An old friend, just an old friend. But he doesn't know me, the me he knew, Cookie as he called her, died a long time ago," she muttered wiping a single tear from her eye.

A/N: I though I needed to give Delilah a bit more of a back story so I through in poor little Matt ^^ This was quite fun to write and was meant to be a bit more emotional, also the whole 'Delilah crying' bit was to show that she is still somewhat human and does have emotions in that messed up head of her's some where ^^ Rate, Review and Enjoy ^^
