"So English, you need a ride home?"
Gunn looked at his friend, Wesley, slumped in his chair. Over the past couple of days he had seemed to drop further and further into depression. It hurt to see him like this.
"No, I'm going to just walk home tonight" Wesley didn't even look up.
Part two
"So how exactly did this happen?"
Angel was trying not to laugh, as Drusilla seemed to climb all over Wesley showering ever inch of him with kisses. Wesley didn't find it as amusing. "I DON'T BLOODY KNOW! This demon just appeared and this happened." The Ex- Watcher was trying desperately to keep his cool as Drusilla touched him.
Everywhere.
"Angel could you please
" Angel made a 'No Way' sign with his hands, "Oh no!" He chuckled, "I couldn't control her when I was evil." While they were talking, Dru seemed to tighten her grip on certain parts of Wesley's anatomy.
It was making him very uncomfortable.
"Drusilla please stop touching me like that!" This was insane. Sure he was lonely,
but not this lonely! The Vampiress smiled "But I need my Wesley now!" She purred "It has been so long." That was all Wesley needed to get pushed over the edge. "Damn it, Woman. I am
" Angel grabbed Wesley's mouth with his hand before he could finish that sentence. "Umm Dru?" Drusilla lifted her head to look at Angel. "Yes, Daddy?" Angel flashed his best parental look "Why don't you and Ms. Edith go play while the men talk, okay?"
Dru smiled "Okay. Can I play with the baby?"
Angel cringed. There was no way he was letting an insane killer near his child "No, The baby is too tired for that right now."
Drusilla just smiled blankly "Okay." She said, then trotted of to play on the floor.
Angel's expression went grave as he looked at Wesley. "Look, all joking aside, I don't think you should do anything to upset her until we know more." Wesley looked at Angel in confusion. "Why?" He said.
Angel looked over at Drusilla "Dru once tried to seduce a stable boy in South Hampton. He called her ugly." Angel shuddered, "They found pieces of him all over Ireland."
Wesley went pale.
Part three
Drusilla smiled from the floor of the darkened basement. At her wrists, the shackles that Angel had slapped on her rattled as she brushed her doll's hair with a little pearl comb she always kept with her. She hummed as she thought about how wonderful her life was. Not since before she was turned had she felt this content and it was all because she had found the perfect man.
Wesley Wyndam-Price
She remembered when she first met him. It was Paris in the springtime, they were both touring the Louvre and they both walked into a special showing of Dali's best works at the same time. Their eyes met across the room and it was love at first sight. He invited her to go on a picnic lunch in the park and from that point on they spent every day together, going on boat rides, making love in doorways. It was wonderful. Then, he knelt down on one knee and proposed his hand in marriage. Then she accepted and
.
>NO NO NO< It was the stars. The were talking to her through the daylight
>You are being lied to< They said
>Someone is deceiving you< She doubled over in pain as another vision split her head. The stars were trying to tell her something.
>Nasty people want you to play with the Englishman and then cut you open. You have to stop them<
Oh, but how do that, little stars? How do I make the nasty people go away?
>Kill Wesley, make all the naughty lies go away. <
No, I could never do that! I love him!
>No, you don't. <
Yes, I-I do! I DO! I don't want to talk to you anymore!
Deep in panic, Drusilla hugged her doll close to her breast. She tried desperately to shut out the visions she had.
As she sat there, she began to feel sleepy.
Silence flooded the boardroom as the senior partner stood up and spook. "I would like to hear a progress report on Special Project 2547."
A gray haired man in his middle forties spoke up, "Gavin Parks project? I believe I can bring you up to speed, sir." The Partner gazed threateningly at the man "I wished to be informed not 'Brought up to speed'." He said sternly, "Or should I find someone more respectful?"
The man adjusted his tie nervously and stood up "As you all know, The birth of Connor, Angel's son, caught us all by surprise. We quickly attempted to correct our failure by researching demonic births, what we came up with will surprise you."
He touched a button on a remote control and a flat screen TV lowered down from the ceiling. On the screen was a picture of a ratty document that looks thousands of years old.
"This is the Bright Child Prophecy. According to this, Seven children will be born from strange unions, marriages that would not normally occur. They will led into battle by an unearthly man in black against the forces of darkness. Connor is one of those children." The senior partner nodded in understanding. "That would be an obstacle."
"Yes sir it would, luckily we may have found a loophole. Mr. Gavin Park, the lawyer who found the prophecy, believes that by breeding of one of these children and taking the baby under our wing, we'll be able to stop any future problems before they happen." The partner's eyes narrowed, "And how is this breeding program progressing?"
The man sighed "It could be better," when the Partner's eyebrow raised, his breath caught in his throat and he quickly tried to cover himself, "But we may have a handle on it!"
"Do tell."
"We hired a demon to perform a lust spell on Angel's "childe", Drusilla. She was to breed a baby with a very, prominent Navy Seal currently in our employ, unfortunately things didn't go as planned. The demon we hired was actually working with another demon named Whistler, he's an agent for the "Powers That Be". They conspired together to make sure the prophecy comes to completion."
"That's unfortunate."
"Yes, it is sir, The demon not only performed a LOVE spell instead of a lust spell, but also chose an ally of Angel's to impregnate her." A picture of Wesley flashed on the screen.
" However despite our setbacks, the project is back on track. Both of the lovebirds are safely tucked away in isolation and we are awaiting conception."
The senior partner spoke in even tones, "What will happened after that?"
The man smiled confidently "After we have obtained a fertilized embryo, we will remove it from the mother and take it to a facility where it will be allowed to grow into our very own Bright Child." He smiled again, "As for the parents
they will be terminated"
"My Wesley, wake up my Wesley." A soft, feminine voice called out to him. Wesley smiled in happiness. She was back, the only girl he'd ever truly loved was back! He whispered her name breathlessly "Virginia
"
"WHAT!?"
Wesley's eyes snapped open. That was not her voice! Lying on top of him with a look of concern was Drusilla. "Who is Virginia?" Looking past her, He saw the rocky ceiling and cave like surroundings of the room he was trapped in.
"Where are we?"
Drusilla just pouted and crossed her arms like a child "Who's Virginia?"
"Blast it I don't have time for this!" He said as he leapt from the bed, "Where are we?"
"WHO IS VIRGINIA!?"
"SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU STUPID BINT!" he screamed. He regretted it instantly. A look of rage and pain crossed the vampire's face and for a moment Wesley was sure he was a dead man. But then her face softened, her eyes began to water, her lower lip trembled and she began to cry.
Very loudly.
"My Wesley doesn't love me!" Drusilla cried burying her face into the pillows of the bed.
"Oh bloody hell!"
Or more likely burning something.
She'd smile blankly and ask him how his day at work went!
But the nights were the worst. Whenever Wesley tried to go to sleep, Drusilla would crawl into bed totally naked and press her body against his.
That was usually when he went downstairs and slept in the bathtub.
There was a small electrical shock, like static, and Drusilla felt a fog in her brain clear. Something suddenly felt different about the world. For the first time in a long time
She felt innocent.
When they broke apart, Wesley found himself grasping at the ties on Dru's gown, delicately trying to clear a pathway to her pale skin. He had almost succeeded when there was a loud bang on the door.
The door slammed open as Angel burst through armed to the teeth and looking mad as hell. "Wesley! We're here too
"He stopped talking and stared at the scene in front of him,
The bed, the candle lit dinner on the table,
the half-naked Wesley.
"
rescue you."
"Drusilla, can we talk?"
He had been dreading this conversation all the way back to the hotel.
When Angel had burst through the door to "rescue" him, Wesley had been unable to talk to her about what happened between them. It was funny but part of him really did thank that demon for what he did, he wasn't lonely anymore. He had Drusilla. At least for those four and half weeks, that's how long they were together.
But now he had to let her go. It was for his own safety. When the spell wore off she would be merciless killer again and he would be forced to dust her and he wasn't certain he could do that to her. Not after seeing her for what she was, a helpless girl in a vampire's body.
"Yes, Wesley?" Her voice sounded beautiful to him, like silk put music. NO! stop thinking about how wonderful she is! This has to be done. "Dru," He took a breath, "D-do you know why you love me?"
She nodded "Because you're the first man to see past my outside. You get beneath my skin and show me all the beauty beneath." Dru leaned closer, "I love you because you make me better."
Wesley shook his head "But that just it, You don't love me!"
"Yes I do!"
"No, it's a spell. When it wears off
"
Drusilla smiled at him looking him in the eyes, "It already has." Wesley looked at her sadly, "I know you think that but
"
"Wesley, when you kissed me something happened. All the fake memories and voices went away went. The spell took away all the madness, it made me sane for a few hours. I just wanted to tell you before the darkness comes back that I love you and no matter how insane I get I will never hurt you or anyone else again. I want you to make me better, make me whole again and in order for that to happen I need you to stay with me."
He didn't realize that he was crying until she reached up and wiped away his tears. He had wanted to say something but he watched the madness fall over her like a curtain and he knew that it was probably to late. At least for now.
"Why is my Wesley crying?" she whispered, "Is it because the lions ate his burning fish? Naughty lions!" Wesley just sighed and kissed her. One day she would be sane, he swore it. But for now, he would take what he could get.
When they pulled apart the vampiress blushed "Why, Wesley! How lovely! Miss Edith-" He laughed and silenced her with another passionate kiss.
"Do shut up Dru."
