All You Can Eat
"Momma." Eliza sighed as she followed after her. "You're still really injured. You should be in bed."

"I'll come back soon," Drusilla said as they made their way to the playground. "But I am so hungry."

"Momma." Eliza sighed as she hurried after the woman. "Please—"

"You are always so worried," Drusilla said not once stopping on her trek to the park., "My strong little princess has no reason to be afraid."

"You'll have another mob on our hands if you go after your favourites now. Even I can get overwhelmed, momma."

But Drusilla was done listening and continued on her way to the park. Eliza sighed and continued following her.

Unfortunately, there was a kid, waiting there by the jungle gym. Eliza closed her eyes. "Mother—" Eliza sighed. "Kids draw attention."

Drusilla laughed and continued on her way. Eliza rolled her eyes. We are so fucked.

"Are you lost?" Drusilla asked the little blonde boy.

"No. My mom's just supposed to pick me up is all."

"Sounds like a horrid mother making you wait till past nightfall." Eliza said, "Want us to walk you home?" If Momma wasn't going to be dissuaded then it made sense that Eliza help as the faster this was done the faster they could dispose of the evidence and hurry home.

"My mummy used to sing me to sleep at night," Drusilla said. "Run and Catch, the lamb is caught in the blackberry patch. She had the sweetest voice." She said dazedly. Eliza bit her lip, as her ears picked up the sound of someone coming. "Mummy," Eliza said.

Drusilla ignored Eliza… or perhaps didn't hear her. While the boy started to back away slowly. Smart kid. Eliza thought to herself while the footsteps grew closer. "Mummy we should—"

"What will your mummy sing when they find your body?"

"I'm not supposed to talk to people."

Eliza sighed as she saw Drusilla's demeanour change, getting ready for fit. "Oh, Well, I'm not a person, see so that's just—"

Angelus stepped between the boy and the two vampires. Eliza's eyes widened and her face immediately changed into her vampire face.

"Run home," Angelus said.

The boy nodded once and turned and fled.

"My Angel!" Drusilla said, surprised and almost elated. Eliza resisted the urge to snarl but refused to drop her game face.

"What are you doing here?" Eliza said. "Surprised Spike hasn't killed you yet."

"Hello Drusilla," Angel said looking for a single solitary moment guilty, it was perhaps the only thing about the soul Eliza liked. The knowledge that his previous actions destroyed him. "Hello, Eliza. Drop the face I'm not here to fight."

Eliza growled, "Forgive me if I don't trust you." She hissed.

"Do you remember the song mummy used to sing to me?" She smiled eagerly like a little eager to get her hands on a new toy. "Pretty."

Angel looked down, "I remember." He said.

"Yes, you do," Drusilla said.

"Drusilla, Eliza leave here," Angel said before Drusilla could continue making Angel rightfully feel more guilty. "I'm offering you that chance. Get Spike and get out."

"Or you'll hurt me?" Drusilla said.

Eliza sat on the jungle gym giving a soft smirk as Angel looked down.

"No, No you can't," Drusilla said triumphantly. "Not anymore."

"If you don't leave, it'll go badly… for all of us."

"For you." Eliza said, "Because your precious little Slayer will find out what you're trying to hide."

"My dear boy's gone all away, hasn't he?" Drusilla said her voice low and haunting, "To her."

"Who?"

"The girl." Drusilla said, "The Slayer. Your heart stinks of her" Drusilla said putting a hand on Angel's chest. "Poor little thing."

Eliza stepped in, "Momma." She said gently taking Drusilla's hand,

"This has to end," Angel said,

"Oh no." Drusilla said, "This is just the beginning."

Eliza looked up her face changing back into her human visage as she did so. "And oh look. Seems she's watching this from up on yonder roof." Eliza laughed.

Angel's eyes widened and he turned around. Aisling laughed as she led Drusilla away.

"You sing the sweetest little song," Drusilla said standing over the birdcage, of the bird Spike had gotten for Dru just the week before. "Won't you sing for me, hmm?"

The bird chirped and stared at her its head tilted.

Eliza smiled as Drusilla looked over at the bird. She smiled and handed Drusilla a bag of birdfeed, "Why don't you try feeding the bird a bit more Momma?" She said. "Maybe the little bird will sing for you then?"

Drusilla giggled and took the bird. "Good little girl." She said patting Eliza's head. "Always taking care of the things mummy forgets."

Elia smiled, as Spike came through.

"Darlings," Spike said, "I heard a funny thing just now. Lucius tells me you two went on a hunt the other night."

"I tried to stop her." Eliza said, "But she refused to listen."

Spike turned to her and Eliza stared back unflinchingly. "You know what Momma's like when she doesn't get her way, and she hates bagging it."

"My tummy was growly." Drusilla said, "And You were out."

"I offered to let her feed from me." Eliza said before Spike could turn his ire to her, "But she refused."

"Come on," Drusilla said tossing another bit of seed to the bird. The bird chirped as she picked up the seed with her beak. The bird opened her mouth and tweeted a bit more asking for more food. Drusilla giggled, as she tossed more seed at the bird.

"Careful mum." Eliza said, "Don't want to overfeed or you could kill the bird." She said then as her mind often did started going around in circles jumping from topic to topic until… "Thinking of restarting my cat business." Eliza mused, "COuldn't start one in Prague." She said, "But… I did have some fun when we did that in Italy."

Spike ignored Eliza's musings, "You, um meet anyone?" He asked Drusilla.

"Angelus stopped Drusilla from feeding on a little boy," Eliza said as she sat at a nearby table.

"Angel," Drusilla said dreamily.

"So…" Spike said kissing Drusilla's temple. "What might you guys have talked about, then?"

"Old Times?"

"Relax." Eliza said, "Angel wants us to leave town. Drusilla mocked him about his relationship with the slayer."

"Is that all," Spike said teeth gritting. "No.. touching."

Eliza sighed, "Drusilla touches everyone." She said, "She's affectionate you know that." The words were the wrong ones to use and she knew that the minute she said that.

"Yeah, but it's a little off her being so… affectionate to the enemy."

"Oh, she was mocking him about his relationship with the slayer," Eliza said, kicking her legs as they dangled off the table while Dru continued to focus on the bird. "And affectionate's the wrong term… she likes touching things. Most vamps are tactile creatures. You know that."

Spike glared at her, "Are you just about done.?" He asked annoyed.

Eliza grinned but didn't answer instead she chose to continue kicking her dangling feet while Spike tried and failed to get more answers out of Drusilla.

Spike turned back to his paramour. "Leave the bird alone, Dru!" He finally shouted at her, which caused Drusilla to whine, Spike was immediately contrite and started to apologize, "I'm a bad rude man." He said taking Drusilla in his arms around again. "I just don't like you going out, you're weak."

"I was there." Eliza sighed, then she sniffed and tilted her head to the side and her grin became more pronounced as she smelled something entering the warehouse, "Something interesting this way comes." Eliza said with a mischievous grin.

"is it something wicked?" Drusilla asked,

Eliza smiled. "A human who walks into a den of vampires and doesn't get scared is interesting no matter where their morals align."

Spike raised an eyebrow, but before he could say anything someone started speaking.

"Well I may not be wicked, but I have something you want." The voice said coming out of the shadows. "I would totally live here."

"Do I have anyone on watch here?" Spike said annoyed, "It's called security, people. Are you all asleep?" He looked at the boy hungrily. "Or did we finally find a restaurant that delivers?"

"Oooh," Eliza said clapping her hands eagerly. "Does the boy have a present for Mother and me?" She came up to him and stared at him the picture of innocence. "Is the boy's present his delicious blood?"

"That look won't work on me." The boy said, "I have sisters who are just your age, and you, I imagine, have had decades to work on your innocent act." He looked around the room before looking back at Spike.

The look died and she gave him a menacing smile. "Boys smart." She said. "I'll give him that much." But you're wrong. I have not had decades to work on my innocent act. I was turned in 1890."

"So you're 107?" The boy said,

"120, if you're includin' human years. Which… very few do."

"Sweet, child," Drusilla said patting her on the head. "

"So. Why are you here?" Spike asked getting back to work.

"I know who you are." The boy said,

"Yeah," Spike said, "I know who I am, too. So what?"

"I came looking for you, Spike."

Eliza giggled, while Spike looked at him incredulous, "You've got a real death wish." Spike said, as a blonde vampire approached and handed Spike a book. "It's almost interesting." Spike opened the book and started looking through it. "Oh, this is great. This will be very useful."

"Nice." Eliza said before turning back to the boy and jumping off the desk and up to him, "Now. Tell us why you're here before we decide that eating you would be a better use of our time." Eliza sniffed.

"You smell oddly delectable and do I smell a hint of… slayer?" She looked at Spike. "I think we found one of The Slayer's friends," Eliza said.

Spike looked at the boy stepped forward and sniffed him. "Yes. I do believe your right." He glared at the boy and held him by his lapel. "So… how did you find us?" He said, "Did you lead the slayer and her lackeys here."

"No – No." The boy said, "I'm here to offer you a trade." He looked around, "I think this is the part where you take out your watch and say I have 30 seconds to explain before you kill me? It's traditional."

"He isn't one for tradition." Eliza said, "Though I applaud your knowledge of the tropes." She said as she pushed the boy toward Spike's arms who immediately grabbed him looking ready to kill him.

"Wait love," Drusilla said putting a hand on Spike's shoulder.

Eliza furrowed her brow, as Spike let the boy go. "Well?"

"Oh come on. Say it. It's no fun if you don't say it."

"You are all about Fun," Eliza said with a grin to Spike before turning back to Billy. "I am curious about you Billy, "you're not scared of death are you."

"no."

"Then what are you scared of?" Eliza sniffed again, "I can smell it on you you know. Sick. Very very sick."

"Who's side are you on."

"Eliza grinned, "He's not a threat." Eliza looked at him up and down, "Yet. Anyway."

"I'm not a threat at all."

"What kind of trade."

"Come on… Say it."

Spike sighed, "Fine. You've got thirty seconds to convince me not to kill you."

"Yes!" Billy said, "See this is the best. I want to be like you."

"Cause you're dying," Eliza said as she sniffed again. "Hmm. Something wrong with your brain I take it?"

"Yes," Billy said vaguely surprised. "Could you smell that?"

"And the fact that you're here making deals with a vampire. Something has to be wrong with you to make you that desperate." Eliza said.

"As sad and depressing as that is." Spike said, "I've known you for only a few minutes and I can't stand you. I don't really feature you living forever. Can I eat him now love?"

"No." Eliza said, "And yet I sense…" Eliza sighed, "A gun to the head would kill you just as easily. Why make the slayer do it?"

"I don't want to die."

"No. You don't want to lose yourself." Eliza said, "Anyway." Eliza said, "Or… I could just eat you. Or Spike could. Or I could."

"Well, how about this." Billy said, becoming more and more bostered, "I'm offering you a trade." HE said.

Eliza turned her head, a smile on her face. "Oooh. What kind of trade?"

"You" Billy turned to Spike and Dru to make sure he had their attention, "Make me a Vampire, And I give you the slayer."

Eliza raised an eyebrow while she turned to Spike and Drusilla, Drusilla looked excited, and Spike looked eager. "Interesting indeed. You'd make a good vampire." Eliza said.

"Thank you."

It wasn't a compliment but Eliza would let him think it was

When we get there everybody spread out," Spike said, 2 men at the door. First Priority is the slayer everything else is fair game." He turned to Drusilla, "Are you sure you're up for this?"

"I need a treat," Drusilla said.

"And a special one you'll have."

"Are you sure about this?" Eliza asked Spike, "It could be a trap."

"Which is why I want you there." Spike said, "I want you with Dru at all times, anything goes wrong you take Drusilla and run."

"Aye, Aye captain," Eliza said giving a sarcastic salute.

"Lucius." He said holding out the keys, "Bring the car around."

"I can do it," Eliza said.

"No," Spike said. "Lucius does it."

Eliza rolled her eyes. "I only look 13." She huffed.

"You also act 13." Spike said, "I'm sorry. No driving not know it's too important that we don't mess this up."

Eliza huffed, "Fine. Back seat as always." She looked at Drusilla. "Ready momma?"

Spike ever the dramatist entered slowly at the head of the group. Drusilla and Eliza take up the rear. A girl with long blond hair, took in the look of the vamp faces, Spike growled at her and she backed away scared.

. Spike grabbed the red choker the girl was wearing and ripped it off her neck.

"Take them all." Spike called out to the group, "Save the slayer for me." He said.

Whatever the girl had been expecting this group hadn't been it. They ran past the blonde girl and started attacking the group at the bottom of the stairs. Spike bit into the girl that had come to greet them.

Eliza could feel her stomach growling but she stayed beside Drusilla as she was supposed to., IN the back of the room she could see a girl and Ford fighting.

"Spike!" Eliza called, "Is that the slayer?" She said gesturing to the fight in the back of the room.

Spike broke away from the girl he was biting and made his down to the slayer. He growled at the girl.

Eliza giggled as she stepped toward the young blonde woman. "So…" She said, "Not what you expected is it?"

The woman shook her head terrified.

"Mmm" Eliza turned to Drusilla, "What do you think? Turn her? Or kill her?"

Drusilla sauntered toward the girl and gently stroked her cheek. "She's frightened, the poor bird." Drusilla said for a moment she pouted then she grinned wickedly, "Her fear smells delectable."

In the distance, she could see Spike and the slayer fighting while their informant stood in the corner watching. She turned back to the girl. She leaned forward. "So… it's rude for vampires to eat another person's snack." Eliza said, "But Drusilla's so weak… I don't think Papa will mind if she has a bite."

The girl broke and turned and ran downside she didn't get for Eliza grabbed her and dragged her back. "Now now. We're not done. Are We Drusilla?"

"No. No, we're not." Drusilla said sauntering forward.

"Please." The girl said tears in her eyes.

Eliza giggled, "You want to be a vampire don't you?" She whispered to the girl.

"No." The girl said, "I don't want to be like this. I want to go home." She whispered. "Please."

Eliza turned to Drusilla and laughed before Buffy showed up out of nowhere and pressed the tip of her stake to Drusilla's heart. Eliza's eyes widened and she stepped forward too, but Drusilla just screamed in pain when she did so.

Spike was going to kill her.

"Everybody STOP!" Eliza screamed while Spike hurried up the steps. Drusilla looked terrified. Meanwhile, down below every vampire stopped what they were doing/

"Good idea," Bufy said. "Now, you let everybody out, or she-" Buffy shook Drusilla slightly, "Fits in an ashtray."

"Let them go," Spike said, slowly every vampire dropped their victims.

"Down the stairs." Eliza and Spike slowly backed down the stairs. Buffy slowly followed them and when they got to the door she through Drusilla at them, Eliza and Spike caught her expertly while Buffy ran out the door. Spike hurried after her and reached the door just as Buffy closed it.

"Where's the doorknob?"

Spike paused and turned to glare at Eliza who met his gaze unflinchingly. She knew better than to antagonize him when he was already angry, but she also lived long enough that acting submissive would also mean she lost credibility among the other vampires and she couldn't afford that after massively screwing up with Drusilla.

Fortunately for her. Ford decided to speak.

"I delivered." He said. "I handed her to you."

Spike turned his attention from Eliza to Ford. Eliza could have told Ford to keep his mouth shut but she enjoyed not having Spike's ire so she kept her mouth shut.

"Yes," Spike said, "I suppose you did."

"So…" Ford said, "What about my reward?"

Eliza, Spike and Dru all stared at him, Eliza didn't say anything as Drusilla glided down the stairs and gently caressed his cheek.

Eliza walked back to the factory alone. She could have forced the issue. Argued with Spike about it, but she chose not to. Fighting with him in front of the underlings would set a dangerous precedent, and acting submissive would set another dangerous precedent. So she chose to smile and nod and pretend that walking home had been her idea. It wasn't hard to fake she often liked walking home.

She closed her eyes and sighed, first time meeting the slayer and she failed drastically.

Typical.

Billy's body had been left behind at the factory. Drusilla had fulfilled her side of the bargain and they they'd left him behind after they'd gotten freed. Spike had demanded it. Either he survives or dies by his own merit.

It wasn't often done. Not unless the human they used to be had been really really irritating. Usually, you had the vampire go through the change nearby so you could teach. But Spike was too angry to consider teaching Billy anything and Drusilla as she was was incapable of it.

And Eliza?

Well from experience she'd learned that no one would take her seriously when she's eternally 13.

Eliza's stomach grumbled and Eliza sighed. She was still a little hungry, She'd skipped dinner for this night, and she'd had nothing to show for it.

She shouldn't have played with her food. Now they were all gone, at least the other vampires were fed – except for Drusilla (and knowing Spike he was going to stop for something on the way home).

"Aww. Is the little girl lost?"

Eliza grinned for a brief second as she heard a male voice speak behind her before she quickly schooled her expression to look more afraid. She turned around to see two men – college students most likely – staring down at her. "I'm supposed to meet my papa at the movies." She said quickly modulation her voice to sound like a terrified child. "But I got lost."

"Aww. Well, We can help you there." The blonde idiot said she took a moment to admire the leather jacket he was wearing.

"Really?"

"Sure." The dark-haired boy said looking a bit uneasy. "We'd love to help you."

Eliza grinned.

Turned out there were still some advantages to looking thirteen after all.

"I'm home." She called as she entered the room wearing the leather jacket the blonde idiot had been sporting. Inwardly she hoped that Spike was either asleep or in a better mood.

No such luck, Spike was waiting for her when she entered the house.

"See you ate," Spike said eying her new jacket.

"What you the only one in this family allowed trophies?" Eliza said defensively while gesturing to his coat.

"He glared at her. "I trusted you."

"I thought you had the slayer handled." Eliza defended. "How'd she get away from you anyway?" She looked him over, she had a few bruises on his face. She had a feeling that Buffy was going to sporting a few of her anyway.

"That's not important. I gave you the job of guarding your mother." Spike said, "And Instead you're busy playing with your f – sorry no - my food."

"Oh like you've never done that." Eliza huffed.

Spike's face darkened. "Eliza—"

"Look. I thought you had the slayer handled." Eliza said, "I didn't realize that she was that much more powerful than you."

Spike's gaze darkened and he stalked forward to her and gripped her arm tightly.

"Do you want to do this?" Eliza asked annoyed.

Spike didn't bother responding.

"Fine," Eliza said she twisted her arm out of his grip and then ducked low and swept her leg around his causing Spike to fall to the ground.

Spike grunted as he hit the ground but he refused to lose to her and aimed a kick at her, Eliza missed the dodge and felt the Kick in her shin. She winced at the feeling.

"Look." Eliza said, "I'll do better next time." She said just as she caught the punch that Spike was about to aim at her. "I just… I got distracted. I won't next time."

Spike glared at her for a long moment. "You're on a short leash for the next month Bit." He said. "Get to bed."

Eliza took a deep breath but did not dare to anger Spike any more than she already had. "Yes, Da'" She said before she hurried out of his sight.

A/N Uh-Oh Eliza's in a bit of hot water ain't she?
