SPOILERS: None for the Buffy Series, since Darla's Childe went AU before Welcome to the Hellmouth. However, it would be best if you read that series first, otherwise you would be very lost.
WARNINGS: I'm sure that those of you familiar with my alleged writing have any doubts about what you are going to find here. But, for the virgins among you, you are going to find oral, anal, Dom/sub, Femme-slash, and quite possibly several other things that will have Mrs Grundy and Doctor James Dobson reaching for the smelling salts! *GRIN*
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This takes place immediately after the events of Darla's Childe, and several years before the events of Gathering Witches. Sorry for bouncing around like this, but the muse provides what she provides.
MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA, MEA MAXIMA CULPA about the calendar – In the first story, I had the dates screwed up – the correct time frame is Thursday, August 22nd, 1996 Darla meets Xander at Bronze. Through Monday, August 26th, 1996 – Visiting the Chase's. This story picks up Tuesday, August 27th, 1996 – Hope this makes sense to you.
WARNING: Anachronism ahead – There is a reference to Xander using online check-in at the airport, and that feature didn't become readily available until after the year 2000, and that's still a few years before smartphones with Internet access were readily available. For the purpose of the story, those two items needed to be available years earlier than in our world. It shouldn't affect your enjoyment (if you do enjoy it, anyway *GRIN*) of the story, but if it does, there are tons of other stories out there that have the technology in the correct time frame.
CASTING NOTE: Jill is played by porn goddess extraordinaire Jewel DeNyle
Amy Madison is played by Teagan Presley
Mallory Kendall – Devon
Margaret Chase – Jayden James

Rio Blanco Apartments
Sunnydale, CA
Tuesday, August 27th, 1996
6:30 AM
The tenants on the 4th floor of the apartment building rolled their eyes at the shouting and slamming doors from the couple in Apartment 407. It wasn't as if the two of them didn't have screaming fights every week or so, but at least it would be quiet for at least a week, based on how long his business trips have lasted in the past. If any of them had happened to look out their window onto the street they would have seen a dark-haired man in his late 20's, with a furious scowl on his face as he loaded his suitcase into the back of the taxi. Before getting into the cab, the man looked up to a particular window and raised his middle finger in a well-known gesture, before taking a seat in the back of the cab.
Anyone who could see the expression on the man's or the woman's face would be very curious at the relaxed expressions on both of them. Especially with the satisfied smile they both were wearing. Nobody saw the pleased smiles, although the wife was actually quite friendly, now that she was able to speak to the neighbors and was able to introduce herself as Jill, and she was quite friendly and had no hesitation about apologizing for the disturbances, but if her husband actually kept his word and not come back, things should be a lot quieter. A couple of the women took the time to ask her if she needed to see a lawyer about how he treated her. Jill thanked them for their concern, but the arguments were just the two of them screaming at each other across the room until he stormed out on one of his 'business trips'.
Jill was glad that she, Xander, and Darla worked out the story she would use if anybody asked her about the fight.
Checking the time, it was almost 9:00 and she needed to get ready to pick Master up at the airport. Stripping out of her clothes, and laying out the stockings, garter belt, and half-cup bra, but no panties, so Master could have her any way he wanted. But she needed to take care of some cleanliness before taking her shower. Pulling out the enema kit, she followed the instructions, and when finished let it soak in hot soapy water to make sure it was clean for the next time. Once that was done, she got into the shower and let the water soak her tight black curls over her cunt, and when it was wet enough, her shave gel and ladies' delicate razor made sure that she was completely hairless. Jill had noticed that other than Darla, all of the other women, including Margaret and Mallory, were completely hairless. She idly wondered if the hair would continue growing on Willow, Cordelia, or Harmony since they were not still alive to make the hair grow. It would be interesting to see, either way.
The shower water temperature was just right, so she washed her body and her hair until she was satisfied she was clean enough and finished her preparations, including putting the nipple clips and Astroglide in her purse, in case Master gets the urge to fuck her ass on the way back to Sunnydale. She really hoped that he would, because he was the first man that made her enjoy being taken that way. Checking the time, she was right on schedule, so she grabbed her purse and locked the door behind her, and was soon on the road to Los Angeles.

9:15 AM
Xander smiled when he saw Jill pull up to the curb in the Passenger Pickup Lane, he had already packed up the dipshits' clothes that he wore when he left this morning. It was surprisingly easy to buy a plane ticket to New York using one of the credit cards and keep his suitcase as a carry-on. A quick online check-in as he approached his gate, before a quick detour to the men's room. Closing the stall door behind him, he relaxed his concentration to return to his normal appearance and took the dipshits' clothes off and put his own back on. Tugging a couple of different zippers on the suitcase, he shook his head that somebody thought reversible suitcases would sell, and that the dipshit bought a set of them! He did have to admit, the ability to change the appearance of his luggage was useful this morning, when he walked out of the bathroom carrying a completely different suitcase and looking completely different from the man who walked in the door. He doubted that anybody would worry about the look of the suitcase when the rest of him looked nothing like he did a few minutes before. He wasn't even sure that the cameras used to monitor the airport would be able to see him, that type of camera wasn't invented the last time Amara walked in the daylight. It might be an interesting idea to test out, there were probably quite a few ways the ability to show up on film could be useful. Something to think about when they were back in Sunnydale.

Chase Manor
Tuesday Afternoon,
August 27th, 1996
Xander smiled slightly as he looked around the table at his nascent clan. All his Childre were there, and their Apples as well. The humans didn't realize exactly what their role was, but that's okay, they would learn soon enough. He had told them the truth when he put them under his protection, he just didn't mention that there was a cost.
He didn't think that they would object too much, considering the situations that they were in before he or his Childre's intervention. Amy would have been possessed by her mother for whatever purposes she had, Jill would have been on the run for murdering her cheating husband, and Margaret and Mallory would still be shackled to those assholes they were married to. All in all, they would come to understand that they are much better off now. So what if it costs them some blood every few days?
Xander knew that none of his clan would need to feed for a couple of days, and was planning to train them on when the best time to feed was. His preference would be feeding during sex, the women would be out of their minds anyway, and wouldn't even notice the bite until they were done.
He wondered if any of the women, Darla included, noticed that they tended to be naked when around him now. All of them, even those who weren't normally submissive, like Cordelia or Amy, immediately stripped when they were in private. Darla was starting to submit to him naturally, as he expected ever since he re-sired her. The blood is powerful, and she probably hasn't even noticed. He wasn't going to enlighten her yet, because he rather enjoyed seeing this side of her coming out.
Xander knew that the days of casual nudity would be coming to a temporary halt fairly soon, because the Chase's maid, Consuela would be back at work next Tuesday morning, when all of them would be heading to Hellmouth High. He knew, from both Margaret and Cordelia, that Consuela was extremely discreet, but there were limits. He suspected that seeing Margaret and Cordelia naked and having sex with a man who certainly wasn't Mister Chase would probably exceed those limits! Even if it didn't, he really didn't trust her to keep her mouth shut, at least until he could bring her under his control, she was a rather attractive woman, after all.
Further thought was interrupted by Jill bringing a platter of burgers to the table, and Xander picked one that was fairly rare. He gave Jill a smile and a nod, wriggling his eyebrows at her. She blushed and giggled, before turning back to the stove. He could easily understand her giddiness, after the scene they played out this morning, he was sure that plenty of the neighbors would swear that he had left the apartment with a suitcase and gotten in a taxi.
He had paid the cabbie when he got to LAX and carried his bags inside the terminal, making sure to keep the dipshit's face on the whole time. A quick change of clothes and face, and reversing the lining of the luggage, he walked out of the terminal, where Jill was pulling up in her own car.
Xander ended up driving back to Sunnydale because Jill decided that she wanted him to experience 'road head'. It was certainly an enjoyable experience, especially since Jill had taken off her top and let him cum on her tits while he was driving. He was very glad that the stretch of desert they were on was deserted because she was taxing even his power of concentration.
He had considered pulling off the road and screwing her stupid, but there was no place with decent cover, and the traffic helicopters were still in the air at that point. He really wasn't interested in that much attention yet, so he put the idea aside for now, even though he suspected that Jill would enjoy the possibility of being seen. The woman had a strong streak of exhibitionism in her, which wasn't a surprise after the way that her late and extremely unlamented husband had treated her.
Xander enjoyed the way that she felt absolutely no regrets about his death or the death of the bastard who had attacked Fred. When the time came, and he had plenty of food sources readily available, he was going to turn her, she was going to make an amazing Childe! But that was for later, she was still very useful to him as a mortal.
It was just after 10 am when Xander pulled Jill's Altima through the gates of the Chase estate and pulled up to the garage. Turning to Jill, he was pleased that she was already squirming out of her pants as he parked the car. Getting out, he watched Jill step out of the car and smiled as the mid-morning sun warmed her nude body. He admired her breasts and blinked in surprise when he noticed that she had shaved off the stubble that had grown over the last few days from her pussy at some time this morning.
Giving her a grin, he said, "I like the new grooming, any particular reason you did it?"
Jill's smile got wider at his approval, and she said, "Well, now that I'm having sex with people I want to have sex with, namely you, I thought I'd give you easier access. And besides, I really don't like the look of hair in another girl's mouth after she goes down on me."
Xander laughed and nodded, "I'm sure they'll appreciate it, and I do like the look on you. Plus, when you dance it gives you something else to tease the customers with, should increase your tips a bit."
Jill nodded thoughtfully, "I think you're right, I remember some of the girls would be clean shaven at the clubs I danced at before, and they seemed to get better tips than I did. Well, we should find out next weekend, if we go back anyway."
Xander laughed, "Oh, I think you can count on us going back, we don't want to disappoint Sunday, do we? She was so anxious to get her tongue in your pussy, and I'm looking forward to seeing it too."
Jill blushed slightly, and he continued, "That, and I'm looking forward to seeing if she squeals as loudly as you do when I fuck her in the ass!"
By this time, they had made it to the door, and Jill didn't have a chance to respond. The smell of sex hit them like a wall of force, and they walked into a scene from a porn film.
All the women in the room were naked, Cordelia had Margaret between her legs licking her pussy, and she looked up and grinned when they walked in the door, before tugging her mother's hair to move her. Xander grinned back, happy to see that Cordelia treating her mother properly. His grin turned feral as he thought about what he was going to do with Jessica Harris sometime in the next couple of days. He hadn't been back to his parent's house since he was turned, and it was certainly going to be an enjoyable homecoming, for him anyway!
Hearing Willow moaning happily, he glanced over to where his red-headed Childe was laying on her back with Harmony's tongue hard at work in her pussy. Jesse was behind Harmony, plunging into her ass and spanking her harshly with each thrust. From what he could see of Harmony's face, she certainly wasn't objecting to the treatment.
Darla was leaning against the wall, just as nude, watching with an amused expression as Fred and Amy were using strap-ons to double penetrate Mallory, who was grinning widely with each thrust from the girl's toys.
Turning to Jill, "Why don't you go let Margaret experience your tongue for a while? I need to talk to Darla for a few minutes."
Jill smiled happily, "Of course Master!" she chirped, as she went over and lay down between Cordy's mother's legs and pulled her pussy down.
Grinning at Darla, he said, "That was a nice sight to walk in on, what prompted it?"
Darla shrugged, "I'm not completely certain, all I know is that after breakfast, and Amy is a surprisingly good cook, Cordelia grabbed Margaret by the hair and dragged her into the living room and told her to eat her pussy. After she came, she ordered Harmony and Willow to go down on her, while Jesse fucked Margaret. There were a lot of switching partners going on, but Cordelia was the one directing things.
"She didn't try to order me around, she's certainly smart enough to realize that I would hurt her if she tried, but didn't have any problems with the others, and they all submitted to her easily enough."
Darla smiled slightly as she watched, "The girl is definitely proving you correct, she would have been absolutely wasted as a toy. If you don't mind a suggestion, you might consider having her as your public girlfriend when you go back to school, The two of you would work well together, and she could provide you access to the other wealthy families here in town. Their assets will be handy when the time comes to take Mayor Wilkins out of the picture."
Xander nodded, "Not a bad idea, I'd already considered that Cordelia would be useful in getting in with the other families, but the public girlfriend would be helpful as well. It would provide a reason that I am over here so often, especially after I'm tragically left an orphan later this week."
Darla looked over at him and smirked, "Oh yes, my condolences on your loss. Have you decided how they will die? I know you mentioned some ideas earlier, but wasn't sure if they had changed."
"Poor Tony is going to be torn apart by a gang of thugs on PCP that got into the house somehow. I had originally planned on torturing him to death, but, unfortunately I won't have the time to do a proper job. I'm going to have to kill Jessica at the same time, but I think I'll keep Tony alive long enough to watch me absolutely destroy her first. I'm thinking they will both still be alive when I douse them with gasoline and set the house on fire. It won't take as long as I would have liked, but it will still get the job done."
She nodded, "I hate to ask this, but, the police might actually investigate the deaths, are you sure it's wise for you to be there?"
Xander chuckled, "Oh, I won't be there, I will be seen, quite publicly, with Willow and Amy at the beach, swimming and working on my tan. Actually, that will be Jesse looking and acting like me, while I wear a different face if anybody saw me enter the house."
She pursed her lips, thinking, "Sensible, and it should be enough to keep the police guessing. Do you know if either of them have life insurance? The funds would be helpful as a visible source of income."
Xander nodded, "They do, I've heard Tony griping about having to pay the bill several times. I'll find the policies and make sure they are up to date before I put them in the fireproof safe Tony installed, back when he still thought he'd be a success at something."
Going into the kitchen, Xander grabbed a soda from the refrigerator and turned back to Darla. Gesturing at her nakedness, he asked, "Since you don't seem to have been taking part, what's with the uniform of the day?"
Darla grinned at him, "I was actually going to lay out by the pool and enjoy the sun. Darling Boy, I don't think you really understand what a gift you've given me. After being locked into the darkness for several hundred years, it's an absolute delight to feel the sun's warmth on my skin, and I intend to enjoy it every second I can!"
"I can understand that, but you aren't getting a lot of sun inside." He said, curiously.
She shrugged, "Well, I was heading toward the back when Cordelia started things off, and I wanted to see what she was doing, and then the entertainment value of watching her directing everyone kept me watching. Although I almost felt badly for Jesse, he approached her, obviously wanting to have sex with her, and she sent him away with just a glare! He ended up grabbing Willow and taking her ass raw! The little pain-slut loved it, and kept begging for more."
Xander chuckled at the thought of Jesse slinking away, but shook his head at Willow's kinks, before shrugging. "Well, her quirks aren't hurting anybody, and as long as they don't damage her too badly, she'll recover quickly enough."
He had watched as his clan enjoyed themselves for a while, before calling a halt when they were, at least temporarily, sated. Sending them all off to the various showers to rinse off, he had Jill start a late lunch for all of them since it was clear that they had worked up an appetite.
Once their bellies were full, Xander sat back in his chair and said, "Okay, I need Darla, Cordy, Harmony, Margaret and Mallory to stay behind, the rest of you can do whatever you want for the next few hours."
When the others had left, Xander looked at Cordelia and Harmony, "I want you to think about which of the Cordettes would fit in with us, and I mean all the way in. I know that there are a lot of wannabees who hang around with you, and I doubt that any of them would be appropriate. But girls like Aura and Aphrodesia, a few others, do you think they would fit in? Remember, if we bring them in, we are going to be spending a very long time together."
He was watching Cordy's eyes and saw that she got the message. He had included Harmony in the conversation as a sop to the girl, but it was going to be Cordy's decision who to recommend.
After a moment, he continued, "The girls you decide on, I want you to invite them to a cookout – slash – pool party on Friday afternoon, to celebrate the end of summer. The party is also where you will introduce me as your new boyfriend." He couldn't help the grimace, "And yes, that means you and I will be going clothes shopping. But remember, if you push things too hard, I can push back even harder, okay?"
He smirked as the glee in Cordy's eyes quickly faded, and she just nodded before turning to talk quietly to Harmony.
When the two girls were involved in the conversation, Xander turned to Margaret and Mallory and said, "I'm still working on the timing to make the two of you officially widows, and want to know if either of the assholes had any business trips scheduled in the next week or so? Especially where they would be flying?"
Margaret nodded, "Not a business trip, officially, but the two of them were going on a Wilderness Survival trip up to Montana the Thursday before school starts. They go every year, taking a private plane that they jump out of. Then they act like mountain men, showing off their masculinity as they make their way back to 'civilization'. I take it that they won't make their way out of the mountains this time?" The smirk on her face showed just how bothered she was by that idea.
"I'm sure the two of you will be able to convincingly portray grieving widows, since you've been the perfect wives for the last how many years?"
Mallory snorted, "Master, the brothel that we were trained in from the age of 10 taught us how to play any role to perfection. Meryl Streep couldn't hold a candle to either of us, or any of the other girls who went through that place! Of course, all the records show is that we attended an extremely exclusive girls preparatory school in Monaco, where they took in orphan girls to be able to take their place in society. Hell, I even saw Princess Grace there a couple of times. I don't think she had any idea just what really went on there, but plenty of others did. So don't worry, we can play the grieving widow part to perfection. Of course, it will be easier to keep in character, knowing that when we get home, you and the others will be willing to let us enjoy the orgasms we missed out on over the last fifteen years."
Margaret laughed lightly, "Exactly! Mallory and I are whores, that's what we were trained for, but even though the way it started was scary, I can't say I've ever enjoyed myself more since the other night. Every one of you has made sure we got just as much pleasure out of the fucking as you did, and I doubt that you would have either of us taking somebody like Snyder or the Deputy Mayor to bed just to get some sort of leverage on them, would you?"
He shook his head, "That would be a no on Finch, and Snyder has been dead since Sunday evening, before we came visiting. They are probably hushing it up, since he was a very disturbed individual and ended up hanging himself in his bedroom. Terrible thing really."
"But no, I have no intention of using either of you like that. I'm not saying that there won't be women who find themselves in a situation where it's necessary, but they won't be members of the clan, so it's nothing that you need to worry about. Unless, of course, one of you is interested in being a madam?"
When both of them looked disgusted at the idea, he grinned, "I really didn't think so. But that does raise a question, do either of you have any interests, either personal or professional that you'd like to pursue? Once you are officially widows, there's no need for either you to continue the role that the assholes forced you into."
The two women sat quietly for a moment or so, before first Mallory and then Margaret shook their heads, frustration on their faces. It was Mallory who spoke, saying "I'm sorry, Master, but I know that there were things I wanted to do when I was first married, but it's been so long since either of us had a chance to make any decisions, I can't remember what I wanted to do."
Margaret nodded, "Basically the same thing, Master, I know that I had things I wanted to do, but after all the years with my dear departed spouse, I don't know what they were anymore."
"Well, I'm asking now, take your time and see if you remember anything, or, if something catches your eye when you are out and about, let me know and we'll see what needs to be done for you to get involved in whatever it is. I do have one suggestion for both of you, if you see anything, a shop or boutique that interests you, even if you have no idea how to run a business, let me know, because it would be a good idea, after you are officially widows, for the two of you to establish yourselves in Sunnydale, possibly getting involved in the Chamber of Commerce. But that's a bit in the future, just something to think about."
He was pleased to see a spark of interest in both women's eyes, and they had more than enough money, thanks to their husbands, that they could afford to high skilled people to run the business and teach them what they needed to know. It will take some time before Wilkins gets recalled, but either of the women would be an excellent Mayor. And if there are any men in the 'video library' they can either be convinced to stay quiet, or their wives would be receiving Widow's benefits.

Mid Afternoon
Jill pulled her car into one of the open slots outside of 'The Witches Cauldron' and she stepped out, joined by Amy and Darla, softly smiling at the look of bliss on Darla's face as she felt the sun on her skin. Jill mentally accepted that Darla was a vampire and had been for hundreds of years, but it was difficult to put the sexy, imaginative woman together with somebody born in the 1600s! But it was just as difficult to realize that, less than a week before, Master was just barely 16 years old, but while his body may still be 16, his knowledge and skills were something she would expect from someone much older. At least Amy is the age she looks like and acts it too, although when she and Master were going over the different spells she would need to locate this Angel person it seemed that there was more to her too. It was so Amy could get some of the materials needed for the spell that they were at the Cauldron.
She had never been in a legitimate magic shop before, and Jill wouldn't deny that she was curious. But that might be because of Saturday afternoons growing up and watching the Hammer Horror classics, which is probably where her fascination with Vampires came from, it was all Christopher Lee's fault! She had a feeling that Darla or Master would have Christopher's Dracula for lunch, and bed his 'Brides' for dessert. Shaking her head at the strange things that popped into her head at the time, she made sure that all the doors of her car were locked and followed Amy and Darla into the store.
It took her a moment for her eyes to adjust, because the lights were low compared to the outside, and the interior of the store felt humid, which she hadn't expected, but then she saw all the different plants in their pots hanging from the ceiling at the back of the store, and the humidifiers keeping them damp explained the humidity. Turning, Jill saw that Darla was going over the shelves of books, contained in glass cabinets, to keep from the water damaging the books, some of them looked old, at least from a distance. Curious, she wandered closer and blinked at some of the titles, Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage. Curses and Counter-Curses by Professor Vindictus Viridian? And why were all these books by Gilderoy Lockhart marked down so much?
She was looking at the other books in the cabinet, and a couple of the books seemed to call to her and she wasn't sure what to do.
"What are you looking at so intently, Darling Girl?" Darla asked, her voice soft in Jill's ear, making her jump a little, before turning to face the other woman and gesturing to the cabinet,
"I'm trying to figure out if these books are real, or part of a giant wind-up. I mean, Advanced Potions Making? What does that have in it, fancy mixed drinks that have magical names?" Jill paused, seeing Darla looking at her curiously, "What? Don't you see what I'm seeing?"
Darla shook her head, "I'm seeing a lot of fantasy fiction, and there are first printings of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'm not completely certain what it means that you are seeing different books. I have a couple of ideas, but we can discuss that back at home with Xander, he would be able to confirm what I'm thinking. It's nothing bad, just surprising, and it looks like Amy is finished her shopping,"
Jill was getting more and more confused by the way Darla was acting, as she basically rushed her and Amy out the front door. Once they were in the car, she just said, "We need to talk to Master, so he can confirm what I suspect. I wanted to get us out of there before somebody noticed that you could read the real titles, because if I'm wrong about what it meant, we were in danger of having or memories wiped of anything we had seen in the shop!"
That was enough to stop any questions she or Amy may have had, but Jill was even more curious now, and drove in silence back to the Chase Manor, relieved to see Master standing at the door waiting for them. Once he was satisfied that Jill wasn't harmed, he turned to Darla with an eyebrow raised questioningly.
Darla said, "While we were at the Witches Cauldron, so Amy could get the components she needs, I noticed a glass cabinet with a lot of fantasy books, but according to the signs, several of the books were first printings, including The Hobbit and all three of the Lord of the Rings. Jill was seeing completely different books, do you remember the titles, Jill?"
Jill nodded, "I think so," and listed the names of the books she could remember, and Master's expression went from curious to serious and he sat back in his chair and seemed to partially close his eyes while looking at her. After a moment he shook his head, and muttered,
"I'm an idiot at times!" Sitting up, he looked directly at her and smiled, "Okay Jill, it looks like Darla was right about why you can read the actual titles of those books, You have the ability within you to wield magic, if we can find someone who is familiar with that type of magic who can train you. I know enough of that type to know that I won't take a chance of making a mistake and causing harm to come to you."
They were interrupted by Fred coming through the doorway, "Sorry to break in, but I think I might know somebody who studied those same books. A girl that works at the Library with me, moved here a year ago from England, and seemed confused at the mention of any current events over that last few years, or movies, or on TV, she just said that she went to a very exclusive boarding school in Scotland, and they weren't able to keep up with all the different things happening. Her name is Penny Clearwater, and what makes me think she knows something about those books, is when she dropped several books on her foot, and she cursed Viridian for his magic cursing her. She didn't know that I heard her, I was in the next aisle, stocking the shelves." She paused, smiling, "I shouldn't have any problems getting to talk to her, I was too innocent to notice, but I'm pretty sure she wanted to get me naked, and I don't mind, she is fairly cute. Do you want me to try and get close to her?"
"Yes, if you can without making her suspicious, that would be useful, but don't let her find out about your changes, if the time comes when it's appropriate, I'll make that decision."

Angel's Apartment
66B Sunnydale Arms Apartments
Tuesday, August 27th, 1996
Dusk
Darla waited patiently for the sun to go down completely, so her prey for the evening would leave his lair. She was fairly surprised to discover that the soul those damned gypsies cursed into him, was enough to allow Angel to have a threshold at the doorway to his apartment. That was why she was waiting in the shadows, not breathing, not moving, until she heard movement approaching the door and the sharp click of the deadbolt being opened and the door opened wide, letting him walk out. Before he could turn to close the door, Darla glided forward on silent feet and the stake punched through his jacket and into his heart, dusting him, the keys in his hand falling to the floor with a jangle. Darla looked at the dust on the floor and shook her head,
"Sorry, my Darling Boy, but you would never accept what is going to happen. And I was a lot more merciful than I could have been, Master would have kept you aware for a week or more for daring to touch me." She smirked, "He is extremely possessive of all his women, and he is more than powerful enough to satisfy all nine of us in one night. Hopefully the soul will be able to rest now."
Scooping up the ring of keys, she stepped through the door into Angel's apartment, the threshold faded when the soul left the body. Closing the door behind her, Darla looked through the different rooms, snorting at the bottles of hair gel standing in front of the bathroom mirror, "What did you think a mirror could do for you, it's not as though you can use your reflection, can you?"
Moving back to the living area, she examined the bookshelves, giving a soft whistle at some of the books sitting out in the open, books that demons she knew would have traded hundreds of souls to take possession of the books. Seeing several other books on demonology and even a copy of the Pergamum Codex, which was supposed to have been lost centuries ago. Shaking her head, there were too many books for her to carry on her own, and they should be okay overnight, as long as she re-locked the door behind her.
Five minutes later, Darla was behind the wheel of Jill's car, and heading back to the Chases, it would feel good to get out of these clothes again, she was a lot more comfortable being naked when it was just the family there, and none of the other girls seemed to have any problems with casual nudity, so she wasn't going to worry about it. She had much more exciting and enjoyable things to look forward to when she got home!
