Dru
Somehow, during the insanity at the Kents' house, Drusilla managed to slip away from Spike and Nyx, and went out hunting. She wandered about Smallville, just talking to the stars, and to any stray animal she could find. Then she saw a pretty sight.
An older man, maybe in his late forties or so, with long brown hair, sunglasses and a cane, was walking up a long drive into a mansion.
"Hello, pretty man," Dru said, "The stars say you've been a naughty, naughty boy."
"Yes? Is somebody there?" Lionel Luthor asked.
"Only me, the daughter of the stars."
"Who are you, young lady?"
"Young lady? Why I was over 150 when you were in diapers. But the stars say that you've been bad. Who are you, Mr. pretty blind man?" Drusilla asked, as she came up behind him and kissed the side of his chin, licking across to his neck.
"I....I...I'm Lionel Luthor, and I'm a very powerful man."
"Yes, you are, you smell like power, but you also smell of fear. tell me, what do you think of eternal life?" Lionel was dumbstruck for a reply, and shewas just beginning to sink her teeth into his skin when Spike and Nyx came running up.
"Drusilla!" Spike shouted, "We told you not to feed while we're here, we need to keep a low profile!" Looking up at the mansion, Spike realized that Dru had captured a very powerful man. Smacking himself in the forheaad, he put his hand on her shoulder. "We need to go now, pet, let the poor man go."
"Who--- who are you people?" Lionel asked.
Nyx
"Hell, sugah, we're nobody and everybody," Nyx purred in a Southern accent, and she grinned as she saw Spike gape and then start kicking himself mentally as she disguised her voice. "Princess, y'all gotta stay around. You can't eat this one. I havta admit though, he is ratha nice lookin', fer a moneygrubber. C'mon, sweetie pie, we gotta head on back to the house." She took Dru's arm gently and pushed the blind man away. "I'll give you a sip from my neck, whaddya say?"
"Cat!" Spike yelped furiously.
"It'll knock her out, won't it?" Nyx spat at Spike. "Sorry for taking up your time, sir. We'll be takin' her home now, she's a little touched in the head. She think's she's a vampire, ya see," Nyx confided seriously, and the man nodded. Nyx grinned; damn she was good. "You'll be fine, right?"
Dru
Spike was in awe. He hadn't seen a show like that in years.
"Nyx, I hate to admit it, but that was a bloody good save." He said as the walked behind Dru, who was dancing under the stars, spinning around with her arms held high.
"William! The stars are singing just for you! dance with me!" She grabbed his hands and spun around in circle with him, before stepping back and curtseying. After he bowed, they began to waltz around the empty cornfield, that currently had no corn, seeing as how it was winter.
Nyx
Nyx grinned at the two of them. Aw. They looked so good together...maybe William would get over this Slayer kick he had going. It couldn't be healthy for a vampire to be in love with a Slayer. But she had better break in and get the three of them back to the house. "Drusilla, you really have to stay close by. There may be nasty people out there, who'd hurt you."
"Remember Prague?" Spike cut in, and Drusilla pushed him away with a frown. "Dru, you wouldn't survive another night like that. Please stay close."
Dru
Drusilla pouted.
"But I'm hungry. Carry me? Carry Princess?" Dru asked, as innocently as she could.
"Of course, my pet." Spike said as he swooped her up. "At least you're not weak like you once were. Idiot mob."
"Let's go to Paris," Dru started, "just the three of us. We can dance and sing and bring the world to its knees. But no bread. Not like last time. There were worms in my baguette."
Nyx
"Ooh, Paris!" Nyx bounced after them. "Paris is a lovely city. Pretty boys and girls. And the dancing! Good clubs out there. I'm la chatte noire in Paris. Good tippers, the French. Especially in the undead bloodsucking community."
"Why do you dance in vamp clubs anyway?" Spike asked.
"Cos! You get more money that way, and the charge? Wowee, do you vamps know how to get a girl purring."
Dru
"Paris was beautiful. I miss Prague, though."
"You nearly died in Prague, Pet," Spike said as he carried his Dru.
{Wait,} Spike thought to himself, {That isn't right, she's not my Dru anymore. She hasn't been for years now. But she came back, almost as if nothing had happened, brought me the Gem of Amarra, and is doing right by the Slayer. She doesn't have a soul or a conscience, and yet she seems almost innocent. I'm beginning to remember why I loved her so much. No, that's not right. I love Buffy.}
"William? Please stop thinking so loud, it hurts my head." Dru sead in her song-like voice as Spike carried her inside the Kents' home.
Nyx
"Yep, that's right William. Shhh." Nyx laughed at the expression on Spike's face as he mock-growled at her. "Think quiet! We can think quiet like little mouses, ooh, mouses!" Now that they were back at the house, Nyx started to hop on one leg as she pulled her boots off, and dragged her duster over her head. "I'm going running, and hunting. Dru pet, you stay here," she said firmly to Dru's pout. "You stay here with your William. Catch up on stuff." She grinned at the vampires, before running out the door, dressed in leather pants and a tight black top with bare feet sliding over the earth.
She could hear Dru singing sweetly behind her and Nyx pounced on a small mouse, before dropping it and running on. Lovely night! Wind on her skin and the lovely coolness of the dark as she ran through it, part of it and yet apart. Eventually, sated, she made her way back to the house as dawn was breaking and the door to the cellar was firmly closed, sealing the undead inside for sleep. Not that they really needed the protection anymore, but better safe then sorry. Rings can always come off. Nyx padded into the house and grinned at Mrs Kent widely. "Morning. You people have so many mice around here. Do I have blood on my face?" She raised a hand to her mouth, licked it and scrubbed around her mouth.
"No, dear. And a good morning to you too."
"I'm gonna crash on Dawn's bed. I went hunting all last night." Nyx nodded at the nice woman before yawning and making her way to bed.
