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.]

Ginia kicks out with her legs the moment she feels Drusilla upon her. She reaches for her knife and twists to stab at her, remembering Giles words. Normal metal won't work, only wood, but maybe it'll give her an opening to get away.

For months Ginia carried a stake in her bag, just in case. Then all the vampires were sent back and while the necklace remained, the stake went back to her room. Lucky Dru.

The bag twists and gets in the way and Ginia is forced to waste precious seconds untangling herself from it. Certainly enough of an opportunity for Drusilla to grab, claw, and/or bite a leg or arm. Ginia it's loathe to lose hey bah because it has her journal and notebooks and she'd rather not have them fall into anyone's hands, but once she's free if her bag, it makes a nice shield.

She'll have her blood, a sample to tempt her appetite as her claws sink into Ginia's leg. Ginia bites back a groan of pain, amazed at how deep fingernails can dig in to flesh. She pulls back on her leg, nails digging painfully out, and kicks with the other one before she can shield herself.

She'll take those seconds to scramble out from under, taking only an extra second to save her journal from the bag before getting back to her feet.

Ginia will take that moment and run. Each step is painful and it's more a fast limp as blood streaks down her leg and sticks to her pant leg, but she'll haul herself off as fast as she can.

The bag is in shreds by the time Drusilla begins sniffing out the blood trail. Best run to ground, Ginia, or face round 2: soon enough the vampire has picked up the scent and is following along, though the headstart was significant.

Thankfully the distance from the plaza to House 44 isn't that great a distance. Even with the pain and the danger of bloodloss, Ginia puts on a bit of speed with Kipinn's power, racing across the ground toward her home and not stopping until she's behind a solid locked door.

Once there she'll collapse onto the ground, holding her bloody leg and trying her best not to scream in pain and frustration.
