"Who's Darla?"
Gunn's head snapped around to face Willow again, his Sire's laugh echoing in the hallway.
"You've been friends with Angel and the bitch never showed up?"
Willow shrugged her shoulders.
Gunn couldn't believe that Darla had stayed away from Angelus, even if he was a little different.
"Really, you had to have met her. She's a little bigger than Buffy, blonde hair, softly spoken and oozes sex?"
Again, Willow shrugged her shoulders.
"Right then. Darla was the favourite childe of Nest who-" Gunn stopped at the look of dawning comprehension on the redheads face.
"So, you've either met her, or him."
"Both." Willow remembered know who Darla was, she had met her only a few times in Sunnydale and the blonde Vampire had disappeared before Willow's final battle with the Master.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Darla, what a surprise." Buffy nodded to Penn, happy when he set his drink down and moved to stand beside her.
Darla watched the interplay, hating the blonde Vampire in front of her and taking in the smell of sex that surrounded her.
"Buffy. Always a pleasure."
"Cut the bull Darla and tell me why you're here."
Buffy was in no mood to play games. She wanted this over so she could get back to the Slayer.
Her eyes widened when she realised she had left a naked Willow with Gunn.
A growl escaped her and she turned to Penn.
"Go check on Gunn and my guest."
Angelus stopped Penn leaving and leaned closer to Buffy.
"He may be rash, but he's not stupid Sire."
Buffy tempered down her possessiveness and cleared her head.
Angelus was right.
Willow was fine with Gunn.
"Guest?"
Buffy let her demon take over and walked up to stand toe to toe with Darla.
"My patience just isn't what it used to be so either tell me why you are here, or get the hell out."
Darla smirked at the smaller Vampire before she too let her demon free.
"You may be the big cheese around here, but I am your elder and you will treat me with respect."
Buffy smirked and inched closer.
"When have I ever treated you like an elder? You are barely a year older, though the way you look now, it could be centuries."
Rage flashed across Darla's face for a second before she forced her human mask into place.
---------------------------------------------------------
"So why is she here?"
"Angelus is here and Darla has always had a fixation with our boy."
"Why aren't you attacking me?"
The rapid subject change had Gunn pausing before his mouth caught up with his brain.
"Buffy."
That one word implied so much.
She was his Sire, his master. He belonged to her just as the Slayer now.
It also implied that if he did anything, Buffy would hurt him.
A lot.
Willow nodded her head and let her thoughts drift to the blonde Vampire who had turned her world upside down.
She jumped when Gunn growled and vamped out.
Standing, he moved to the window, never making a sound.
Closing his eyes, he reached out and connected with flesh.
A twist and a scream later, a Vampire lay on the floor, its neck broken.
---------------------------------------------------------
Darla smirked and sat down, motioning to Buffy to do the same.
She really hated the Vampire before her. Buffy had the one thing Darla wanted.
Angelus. And she was going to have him.
They thought she would come alone? They must be stupid.
She had ten Vampires stationed around the L.A mansion, each making their way into the house right at this very minute.
Pretty soon, everyone in the room except her and Angelus would be dead.
Buffy sat down and accepted the drink Wes had handed her, loving the look on Darla's face as she wasn't offered one.
"I will ask again as you have yet to answer, and believe me, this time is the last. Why are you here?"
"Simple really, I want-"
She was cut off by a scream.
Buffy was up and running before any of the others.
---------------------------------------------------------
Willow jumped out of bed, the sheet wrapped around her as Gunn fought with two Vampire's while one lay unmoving on the floor.
Thinking quickly, she ran to Buffy's desk and searched through it for what she wanted.
Finding a pencil, Willow raced over to the fallen Vamp and used every ounce of strength she had to drive it home.
Gunn snapped the neck of one of his opponents before turning his attention fully to the last.
Willow had just staked the second Vampire when the room filled.
Three more came in from outside, one of them blindsiding her and knocking her headfirst into the wall.
When she felt fangs at her neck, she did something she had never done before.
She screamed for help.
She screamed for Buffy.
Suddenly the Vampire at her neck was gone.
Willow turned to see Buffy, Angelus, Wes and Penn had joined the fight, Buffy paying attention to the Vampire she held in her grip.
Looking at her, Willow could have swore the Vampire's eyes were more red than gold.
Gunn used Willow's fallen pencil to stake his Vampire just as Angelus and Penn killed their two.
Buffy held the struggling male by the neck and searched the room to make sure her own were okay before her eyes rested on Willow.
Even weak, the Slayer was a power to be reckoned with.
That made Buffy proud through the rage.
"Wes, get Darla in here now."
Wes ran off to get the Vampire and Buffy's gaze kept shifting from the Vampire in her grip, to the Slayer standing by the wall, covered only by a sheet.
"Angelus, get her some clothes."
Angelus moved to do that just as Wes came back.
"She's gone."
Buffy snarled and threw the Vampire in her hands into the nearest wall, knocking him out cold.
"Be ready to hunt in five minutes. Anyone not ready has me to answer to."
The four males left, leaving just Buffy and Willow.
In less than a second, Willow was scooped up and set on the bed, the sheet removed from her body.
Her gasp at what she thought was going to happen, was cut off when she saw that Buffy was checking her over for injuries.
When the Vampire's eyes rested on her neck, Buffy growled at the trail of blood.
The Vampire that attacked Willow was still in the corner, though he was sleeping the sleep of the knocked unconscious.
The only good thing was that he hadn't bitten her, he had simply grazed her skin.
Buffy knew that if he had bitten the Slayer, his death would be even more drawn out than she had already planned.
Willow reached up and covered Buffy's hand with her own.
The Vampire tensed, thinking that Willow was going to try and push her away.
The Slayer pulled Buffy's hand away from her but kept hold of it as she lowered them to the bed.
"I'm okay."
Buffy nodded and leaned in, kissing Willow, putting all her frustrations, her anger and the passion into it.
Lowering her head, she licked the graze on Willow's neck clean of any blood.
She was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Pulling the sheet back over Willow, Buffy stood up and grabbed her victim by the neck before walking over and letting in her childer.
"Angelus, you stay here."
As she expected, there was a very loud objection from the Vampire in question.
Buffy threw the Vampire in her hands at him.
"You stay here. You lock him up downstairs, you stay with Willow."
Seeing the look on Buffy's face, he nodded his head, knowing it was futile to argue with her when she was like this.
Only thing was, he couldn't remember seeing her this ticked off before.
He wasn't around when she went postal at his disappearance.
Buffy turned to the Slayer and leaned down.
Willow knew what Buffy wanted, but she was a little ticked at having to stay with Angelus.
"Why leave him? Leave one of the others."
Buffy rolled her eyes.
"Think people. Darla wants him and she knows I know that. She's not going to be looking back here for him because she will think I have him with me. And you have nothing to fear from him."
The last part was directed at Willow and Angelus sent her a sinister look behind Buffy's back.
"Angelus. Play nice."
He pouted before dragging their new play thing off to be chained up.
He was back in time to see Willow leaning up to give Buffy a chaste goodbye kiss, thought the Vampire wasn't happy with that and pulled the Slayer into a more passionate one.
"Be good you too."
As Buffy took the others, Angelus got in a last minute snipe at the Slayer.
"Bring me some take away."
Willow paled. Here she was, living with Vampires for the foreseeable future, and she had forgotten just what it was they ate.
Falling back, she closed her eyes and ignored Angelus, and wondered just what the hell she was going to do to get out of this mess.
---------------------------------------------------------
Buffy had no idea where Darla would go, but she knew someone in L.A who could help her.
"Feel up to a little singing?"
The other three groaned.
"That's the real reason you left Angelus here isn't it?"
Buffy grinned at Gunn but never answered.
They all piled into the limo, Buffy telling their driver to head to Caritas.
