Unbitted Lust

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?"
