Hey, so this is just a brief bit following the end of ch 7 to provide a bit ore closure.


Epilogue


One week later.

Buffy smiled as her lover wrapped his arms around her. He nuzzled into her neck and slid his fangs gently back and forth across her neck and gently lapped at the tiny scratches he'd make. She felt her skin healing. That night had been the first night in a week since they had bothered to leave the mansion, her near death experience shaking them both.

Angelus lifted his mouth from her neck and rested his chin on her head, stooping slightly. He wrapped his arms around hers and Buffy's arms came up to rest on his. She turned deeper into his embrace.

They heard the soft whisper of noise and Dru and Spike came out onto the porch, holding hands. In Dru's other hand, Miss Edith dangled crazily.

"It's our party now," the dark vampiress stated with a beatific smile.

"Yeah, Dru, it is," Angelus stated.

"Mmm" commented Buffy.

"Tired?" Spike leered suggestively. Buffy flicked him off.

"Now now children," Angelus said, "No fighting or daddy'll spank."

Spike and Buffy rolled their eyes in unison.

"Tomorrow," said Dru, "We have to find Vengeance."

"We've already found it pet," Spike said gently. Dru shook her head.

"No," she said, her lovely family were sweet lambs, but they never understood, "She's still around. And once we find her…" She snapped her teeth together playfully.

Buffy gave her an impish grin. "Sounds good to me!" she chirped. Angelus leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"You know what else sounds good?" he breathed in her ear. Buffy looked up at him form under hooded lashes.

"Okay," she smiled wryly at him. She nipped his nose. "I'll bite."

His smile told her that indeed she would be.

"You. Screaming," he breathed.

"Oh, well, I suppose that could be managed." She said, sounding faintly breathless.

His response was a deep echoing laugh, full of joy. He swept her off her feet and they went inside.

Drusilla smiled. "Thank you your majesty," she whispered. "I promise we won't break anything… too badly anyway. It's going to be such a lovely party. Too bad you aren't here."

And as her vampiric hearing picked up shrieks and giggles from deep in the mansion, her smile grew even wider.


I hope you enjoyed this :)
