HAUNTED (8/?)
 

"Come along, lovey. We must go to our Spikey. He is calling to us" Drusilla
said, holding the doll to the window. "The stars sing of death. He wants to
hurt his Princess. For that mortal. She's still haunting him, my lovey. But
no more. I shall go and take care of him....rid his mind of that red headed
human." She frowned as the stars continued speaking, "Oh...he wants to hurt
me. Make me bleed. There shall be none of that."
 

She stood and went to the door. She opened it, looking at the minion standing
there. "Gather the others. We are going back to Sunnydale." She smiled
sweetly as she lovingly brushed the hair of her dolly, "Spike must die."
 

******************

"NO!"
 

Angel shot up in bed at the scream. He looked over the side of the mattress
at the brunette laying on the floor. "Delia, what is it?"
 

Cordelia shook her head, her breathing ragged. She was getting too old for
this, she thought as she stood and went to get a glass of water from the
bathroom. Twenty six and still getting stupid visions. She closed her eyes as
she took a Tylenol. Damn the powers that be anyway. She opened her eyes and
looked at her lover, "Sunnydale."
 

Angel froze at the name of the town. "What is it?"
 

She shrugged, "Big scary death I'm sure....."
 

"Delia." He warned, knowing she had seen something that scared her.
 

She swallowed the water and looked at him, "Spike...Drusilla...lots of blood
and ...uh...well....uh.."
 

"Spike and Dru? Were they fighting?" Angel asked, knowing his childe had
settled into living in Sunnydale these last few years.
 

"Yes...she was trying to kill him" Cordelia said, her voice hesitant. She
never understood the images that the powers sent her. This one made no sense
at all.
 

"Drusilla was trying to kill Spike?" Angel said, confused. As far as he knew,
his daughter hadn't seen Spike in eight years. Why would she suddenly return
intending to kill him? And what were he and Delia suppose to do?
 

"There's more" Cordelia said, not sure how to say it.
 

"What?"
 

She looked at Angel and whispered, "Willow was there...but she wasn't."
