Chapter 1 - Unbitted Lust

.
.
.
It’s come between them, now, but from him?  from her?  Or is it something engendered between them, now she is human? … again.

She’s borne it before, so many times - the desire of men, watched their interest in her turn unerringly to self-love, every time, until it took root inside her and grew, grew until it killed her, and rebirthed her.  She can not bear it again.

It’s something humans will never understand.  She gazes out into the LA sunshine and almost wants to weep.  We all have a demon inside us.

And she can still turn them, Darla can.

Chapter 2 - Notes

This drabble was inspired by a scene from the "Angel" episode "Darla" written by Tim Minear.  Here's an excerpt:


Darla:  "What did you bring back, Lindsey?  What am I?  Did you bring back that girl, whose name I can't remember?  - Or did you bring back something else? - The other thing." 

Lindsey:  "Both. - Neither. - You're just you. Whatever that is." 

Darla:  "Why haven't you kissed me? - You've been dying for it, haven't you?" 

Lindsey:  "I didn't know if you wanted me to." 

Darla:  "Why should that matter? - Do you think I ever hesitated when I wanted something?  Life's too short.  Believe me, I know. - 400 years and still too short." 

Lindsey steps forward and kisses her softly. 

Darla:  "Mmm, that's how humans get what *they* want.  I remember that much." 

Lindsey kisses her again. 

Lindsey: "Do you like it?" 

Darla:  "It's nice. - But it's not me you want to screw." 

Lindsey pulling back to look at her:  "What?" 

Darla:  "It's him.  You all think you can use me to get to Angel." 

Lindsey looks at her for a moment:  "Maybe." 

He kisses her hard, pushing her up against the table. 

Darla:  "What am I?" 

Lindsey:  "I don't know - and I don't care." 

They kiss and suddenly Darla bites the side of Lindsey's neck, hard and he pulls away. They break apart. 

Darla:  "Now do you care?" 

Lindsey:  "No." 

Darla:  "That's how vampires get what they want.  What am I?"
