2. LAMBING.

Tonight, just after sundown, there is a ruckus on one of the farms northeast of the village. When the bleating dies down, several dead lambs might be found in one of the enclosures. The ewes paw and nose at the bodies, dumb terror still fresh in their eyes.

Forest animals just have not been cutting it for Drusilla. But the vampire has been too wary to approach the village and feed there -- not without her Family, those who strengthen her. She stalks the journals during the day when she's not sleeping. Two slayers? A vampire hunter? All sorts of overpowered freaks and heroes and demons? She might be mad, but Dru is not stupid enough to attempt any kills in the village. Yet.

As she tears through the last lamb, the vampire laments to herself how much more fun this would be with Spike. And then she convinces herself in a long, drawn-out argument with a curiously red evening star -- which she quickly names Ethelind -- to spy on the sleeping village. Find out where the sweetest victims lay their heads. Her tattered white new-feather sundress, covered only by a black lace shawl, is stained red with lambs' blood. The dress of her porcelain doll, which she is carrying with her, is also stained. Perhaps she can stop at the shop for a new frock, and one for dolly, too.

When she glides through the village, Drusilla will dare to peek into some windows. She cannot enter any homes without an invitation.

[Dru will not be lingering around anyone she has identified as a threat. She is a powerful vampire but far more bold when working with lackeys or her "family" -- Angel, Spike, Darla. IF YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO DIE OR BE INJURED AT THIS TIME JUST TELL ME IN A SUBJECT LINE, otherwise she won't be killing or hurting anyone in this post.]

"I hurt." Oh, but she was using those words in an entirely different syntax. Dru licked a finger and tested the wind. "It is favorable," she smiled. "I want you."

I must drink their blood, and they must drink mine. [She smiles at him. Perhaps this one could be drawn in. He was curious enough. Spike had been curious, too.]

"In mine. In mine, kitten. In mine, sharp-clawed kitten. Be my sister tonight."

Princely. Like a prince from the far Orient. Have you seen them? Bangles, sparkles, diamonds, perched upon great elephants.

There's an unidentified vamp. But it's a poor King's man who runs from a woman, if she isn't any harm after all. Swallowing, he draws his St. Michael pendant from his clothes. Part of the relief is a cross, and it is all made of silver. If she reacts...

Only when the slayer stays out of the way. [Again, she is surprisingly direct.] Know you the slayer?

"Was she a witch? That's the pretty star the witches draw when they recite their incantations." She, too, was staring at the shape of the metal ornament. Curious. Interested. And...somehow...she felt no desire to go nearer to it. It wasn't repelling her, exactly, but it was deadening that desire to kill.

Be in me, beautiful man. Be in my eyes. Stay in my eyes. Dwell in my eyes.

[and with that, she will attempt to hypnotize him.]

This maneuver infuriates the vampire, who prides herself on her strange, aloof mystique and is too much of a lady to be sitting on the ground in a muddy white dress.

"You've spoiled it!" she moans as the lamb bounds free. "You've spoiled my pretty frock!"

I am not killing him. [She turns to face Derek -- noting the gun -- but does not release the doctor.] I want him as a playmate. I want to keep him.

I...

[He seems to want to protest at first, though his voice is quiet. Before he can speak any further, however, he finds himself completely lost in her eyes, his facial expression blank and mesmerized.]

Ah. W-Well I-I don't believe so, no. It, it sounds very nice. [ Helios will just take a step back now rubbing the back of his head. He's still eying those dark stains on her clothes though. They look like...

No. It probably wasn't anything. ]

[Ah, good, so we're sticking with a vampire theory.]

You can't just eat a really rare steak and call it a night, can you... [If only.] You realize most people are going to object to the idea of exchanging blood, right?

Her back straightened -- dragging her up out of her low, prepped stance. Like strings on a puppet, tugging up up up.

I take it the 'Belmont' clan means little to you.

[That pesky, whip-toting and crucifix-hurling family are a thorn in Dracula's side. As far as he was aware, there were none whom had found themselves here - he'd like to think he could catch a whiff of smug self-righteousness from far away.]

"Oh, you can always wash it!"

Sorry, Dru, mud on dresses is nothing of Applejack's concern. She waits until her dog escorts the lamb off to safety, then pauses, weighing the option of letting the vampire out of the lasso. But she really doesn't want to get closer.

[Oh thank God, someone armed. He looks to Derek, trembling, too afraid to say anything but mouthing silent pleas for help.]

She does. Dru catches her breath in a hiss and starts backward, away from the holy symbol.

"Put it away away! I don't like it at all!" she pouts.

They are fools who reject the comforts of sister moon! They are fools who only want to live in the daylight!

The vampire continued to stare into the slayer's eyes, trying to project something delightfully terrible. An image of Giles, writhing in agony.

[She takes a step forward. Someone THIS magical would be a fabulous pet.] You could be princely forever. Forever and ever.

[She ponders; no. No, she has not heard of these Belmonts. Slayers are all little girls where she comes from.]

It means little, but to you it means much. Our slayers are not clannish in that way.
bloodwaif: (an unfortunate slight)

[Smiling, Drusilla leans close so she can bite him. She won't drop her gaze until the last possible moment, though.]

She probably SHOULDN'T get closer. Angry, the vampire rips the ropes from around her. Vampires in the Sunnydale world are very strong, much more so than normal humans.

"Come here. Come do your penance, beast."

[Saleh feels the sharp pain in his neck, but he's still paralyzed. Perhaps from fear or shock. He keeps as still as possible, even suppressing a cry of pain.]
