=====================================================================

 

Darla's been acting like a bitch all night. What am I saying???? She's *always* a bitch.

 

Tonight, though, she's just trying to get me to react. But I haven't. I think it's surprised her and I *know* it's surprised Angelus. I've been the perfect, obedient childe.

 

And no, I'm not under some spell or anything. I want to ... well, I'd better not go there. Let's just say, I'm seething on the inside. But I'm acting so nice for a reason. A very selfish reason. 

 

I want my sire to have a *lot* to make up for later.

 

 

Angelus arrived with his childer, smelling like sex and blood, about two hours ago. Like I couldn't smell them all over him. Least they could have done was cleaned up first.

 

I'd forgotten how annoyingly arrogant his childe can be. Drusilla is annoying but there's a sweetness and innocence about her, even now. One can't help but be attracted to that. Many have been. And many have died.

 

But William? Or, sorry, *Spike*. Spike is... well, actually he's been behaving perfectly, though I'm sure it's some kind of ploy to win bonus points with Angelus. Unfortunately for him, he won't be seeing Angelus for at least twenty-four hours.

 

Night has just fallen and it's been such a long time since we've been in London. There wasn't really much information that I didn't already know or had guessed with regards to the Master and the Court. I ran into a few old friends (and some of them ran into *me*- but that's besides the point.)

 

The point is that I'm out and some little minion bitch has replaced me. I've made it clear to all the Master's sources, that we're 'fleeing' the Master's wrath for the Americas and that we don't plan on returning to Europe for at least a decade. I have a feeling the information made it back to him as there have not been any attempts to kill us for a while, which means that for now, we're relatively safe.

 

And if we're safe, then- Angelus wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me against him. "Darla, Love, shall we go hunting?" He coos in my ear and I laugh.

 

"No," I say. "Bring me back someone young. For now, I have a prior engagement."

 

 

Dru's babbling about the stars, so I don't have to pay attention too closely. I just smile and nod as I watch Angelus and Darla. I catch her reply to his question and I frown. Damn it. I'm hungry! I haven't eaten in... I check my watch ... four hours.

 

And I don't like the way Darla's looking at me. Like I'm the one she wants on a silver platter... Oh.

 

On second thought, I'm glad I haven't eaten lately. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not that Darla's not pretty. She is... if you go for that 'hey, notice me, I'm a street whore' look.

 

But I don't. And her attitude just ruins her appeal completely. And I know, Angelus is egotistical too, but he doesn't treat me like I'm lower than the mud on his boots. And that's the reason I can deal with him, but I really prefer to stay at least a hundred miles away from Darla at any given moment.

 

I really wish I hadn't agreed to this. Why did I? Oh, yeah, because I wanted to be closer to Angelus and he looked all cute when he was worried about my safety... And I'll never admit that I think my sire is cute. NEVER. No torture in the world could get me to give that little secret up.

 

 

"We'll meet you upstairs," Angelus says and I laugh as I turn on him.

 

"I don't think so, Love." He just looks at me. "I never said you could watch," I explain because he *did* make that part up on his own.

 

"But-" he protests.

 

"You take Drusilla hunting. Find a nice couple and take their hotel room." He starts whispering things in my ear and I feel his hands slipping up under my dress. I push him away roughly. "Don't think about coming to me smelling of your childer's cum. I will *not* tolerate it." I step away from him.

 

"Darla, I'm sorry." His eyes are pleading with me not to take off again.

 

"See that you stay that way. Now take your crazy childe and leave us."

 

"As you wish," he says and I notice the little glances he and William exchange.

 

 

He walks up but doesn't say anything to me. "Dru, come on. Time to go hunting," he says to her.

 

I try to remind myself that he wouldn't ignore me if she weren't ticked about something. I still wish we were back in Prague without her, though. "Spike's not coming?" Dru asks.

 

"No, Pet, you go on without me," I say with a smile. "I'm... not all that hungry. I'll see you later." I fix my gaze on Angelus then, with what I hope is an obvious 'You owe me' expression. He smiles and nods. Well... I guess that's *something* to look forward to.

 

"All right..." Dru agrees reluctantly. She and I haven't been away from each other all that much in the past few years. But I know she's missed Angelus as much as I have, so she'll enjoy herself tonight. I'm glad about that, one of us at least should be having fun.

 

Then Drusilla and Angelus leave, and I'm alone with Darla. Lucky me.

 

 

He's sitting in a chair near the door, exactly where he was when Angelus and Drusilla left.

 

No eye contact. No gestures. Nothing.

 

But I'm aware that this is going to take a little more than finesse. A little more than simple bondage or torture. More than whips and chains.

 

Luckily, I'm a resourceful vampiress with endless patienc- okay, so not *endless* patience, but patience.

 

I pick up a magazine and sit on my legs on the couch near the fireplace. If he wants to prove himself, which I'm sure Angelus has explained, then he'll have to work for it. If he has any hope of being with Angelus alone, he most certainly *will* come over here if he's smart.

 

 

What's this? I figured she'd start ordering me around, the moment Angelus left. But she's not... even though I didn't miss that devious smile as she sat down pretending to ignore me.

 

I don't get it. Okay... think, Spike. Angelus said she wants me in her bed, but didn't exactly say why. But it was obviously in order to put me in my place. So why is she pretending she doesn't care where I am?

 

Unless this is some kind of test. I get up and walk over to the fireplace, glancing over at her as I add more wood to the fire. And she's still got that smile on her face. So yeah. I was right, this is a test. One of those 'If Spike's really worth anything he'll figure out what I want and do it.' Well, bloody hell. I'm not a fucking *mind*-reader!

 

I can't hold back my sigh as I turn back to her. She didn't notice though, or is just remembering it for later. I sit next to her and ask, "So... Darla, what d'you wanna do while Angelus and Dru are gone?"

 

 

"Actually, I'm reading," I say not even bothering to look at him as I flip the page.

 

 

I'm not going to lower myself to her level. I'm not gonna ... I'm not. Count to ten... Okay, that didn't work. Count to twenty... Better. But I still have the urge to strangle her. I know it wouldn't kill her but I'd do it more for the point of it being fun.

 

But I bet Angelus wouldn't be too happy about that, no matter how much I swore she had it coming. So I'll just behave. I'll prove to myself, if not to her, that I'm better than her. Damn, I really wish Angelus could see what a bitch she's being though. He'd....

 

Who'm I kidding? He'd do absolutely nothing. How can someone with such good taste (proof of that being, well, ME) also want her? I dunno. I've never understood his obsession with her.

 

But he is my sire and he treats me well so I can do this for him. "Okay, well, if you get bored, just let me know," I say, trying to keep my voice as civil as possible. "I could ... um... well, whatever." I'm usually a little smoother than this, but I can't help it. She seems to always figure out how to turn me into that pathetic human he turned over a century ago. And I hate her for it.

 

 

While Angelus was away, I had a good few weeks to really think about this very situation. I analyzed it from every angle.

 

Spike, no matter how annoying I find him, is valuable to any clan. He's also painfully loyal to Angelus, who is in turn loyal to me. So our interests with respect to the clan are the same and he *has* bested four slayers, two of them within his first half a century. So logistically speaking, it makes sense to have him around.

 

However, there is that part of him that hates me completely and utterly. I'm not quite sure why, but it is probably similar to that little part of me that hates him so fucking much. The way Angelus just hangs all over him, how Angelus will sneak away from *our* bed in the middle of the night to see Spike... almost as if I was a hired hand. Thanks but no thanks, I've already been a one-time whore. I won't be treated that way again.

 

But I've tried banishing Spike from the house. I've tried ordering Angelus to stop spending time with him. I've even demanded that Angelus stake William at once, but none of it worked. It actually drove them away with Angelus chasing after.

 

And that simply won't do.

 

So, I've decided to take this a little differently. If I'm going to have a strong and powerful clan, I need to trust and rely on those under me. Literally and figuratively. This means having Spike as one of higher-ranking vampires.

 

I don't think my usual bondage and torture thing will work and I don't wanna make the situation worse than it already is.

 

I look over at him. He's scathingly angry, and rightly so. He's frustrated because he doesn't understand what the hell is going on and why he's not chained to a bed yet.

 

I put the magazine down and rest my head back on the couch staring at him. He's cute. Angelus really does have good taste in his men, although he doesn't really turn me on like Angelus does. But that could be because I don't really know what he can do with his body yet.

 

I just stare at him intently, waiting for him to make a move. As a small hint, I stretch my legs out before laying them on the couch, stopping just short of where he's sitting.
