Amelia jane, Ashley, Sharon, THANK YOUUUUUU all, you’re making me so happy!

Sorry for late, here’s the new part:


Chapter Eighteen: The Key To His Mind (I took a lot from ‘Lies my Parents told me)

After discovering what the key was to make LES open his mind, Drusilla got closer to him once again, but charmed him in order to make him see his mother instead of the brunette vampiress.

But it wasn’t enough, there was still something missing.

So, keeping her distance from him, cautiously, she started singing.

The difference was as immediate as the chained vampire’s violent reaction.

But luckily for Drusilla, this time the chains were strong enough, despite all his efforts to break free.

“Listen, William, you have to talk with me...” she exclaimed.

“Never! Go away, leave me alone!” he growled, yanking.

“No. Not until you tell me what the problem is. Calm down, my dear, tell me what hurts you so bad,” Drusilla exhorted him, very quietly.

“How can you even ask me that? What are you doing here? You should hate me, I hate myself for what I did to you,” he yelled.

“Why? What did you do to me?” she asked him.

He calmed down and stopped yanking on the chains, but his demon was still on surface.

“Why are you doing this? Why are you bringing up those painful memories again? You know that I couldn’t let you die...” he murmured, starting to cry.

“So... did you save me?” Drusilla asked, a little bit unsure.

He laughed bitterly.

“Save you? SAVE YOU?! How can you say such a stupid thing, mother? I damned you, I screwed up your sweetness, your pureness, I turned you into a cold demon!” he yelled with a croaky voice, due to the tornado of emotions he was falling into.

“So, he turned his mother!” GB exclaimed, bringing a hand to her open mouth due to the astonishment.

She would have liked to comfort him, help him face that bitter moment, but all she could do right then was to stand still and keep watching what happened between Drusilla and her Spike.

In the meantime, EB stared at ES, without understanding why that revelation had seemed to shock him so much, too.

“Honey, why are you so surprised? And why are you not trigged like him? After all, his mother was your mother, too, so...” she wondered, but he cut her off.

“I didn’t...” ES confessed with a feeble voice that his Mate managed to hear only due to her supernatural hearing.

“What?”

“My mother. She was so terribly sick, no one could do anything. I desperately wanted to heal her. So, after Angelus turned me, I went back to my house, but... it was too late, my mother had died two days before, two days, can’t you see? I failed miserably just because I was late forty eight stupid bloody sodding hours!” he explained, growling, clenching his fists and looking at the ground, very upset.

EB was about to say something, but LES resumed talking.

“I just wanted you to be happy, I wanted to keep you with me, but you were so different. You weren’t my mother anymore, you were just... a thing. A horrible thing that I had created and that had turned against me...” he explained, bursting out crying again. “I couldn’t see you like that any longer. So... I had-had to dust you, mother, I’m so, so sorry!” he went on, feeling as if he had just taken away a huge load from the half soul that he owned now.

“Maybe... it’s better that I came to her too late... because I was determined to do the same thing LES did...” ES commented, after hearing the terrible consequences of LES’ decision, as his Childe caressed his face, whispering sweet words to calm him down.

“Don’t be sorry, my dear. You just tried to save me and I thank you so much for that. It’s just that that wasn’t the right way. But you didn’t know, you didn’t mean to. And anyway, although you had no soul anymore, you thought about me, your poor ill human mother, you showed me that you still cared about me. And that’s something I’ll never ever forget, my sweet beloved soon, because although you have a demon in you, I know that my precious William is not dead and I will always love you and look after you from above...” Drusilla murmured, caressing his hair and smiling at him.

In a gesture that caused general astonishment to the vampires watching the scene, LES shifted back into his human visage, smiling back at Dru.

“Thank you, mother...” “ he murmured, before passing out.

He wasn’t the only one who became unconscious, because Drusilla also fell on the floor, thoroughly exhausted.

“Honey!” Angelus exclaimed, running to help her, as GB had run towards her Sire, setting him free from the chains and waiting for him to recover.

Drusilla was the first who regained consciousness.

“My Princess is so stubborn, isn’t she? I knew that it was too much for you, those kind of tricks require so much energy... and now you are weak...” her Mate murmured, holding her tight.

“But if Daddy takes his Princess out to hunt now and makes her happy, she’ll recover in less than a heartbeat...” she smiled, kissing him as he helped her get up.

They were about to leave, but GB ran into them.

“Dru, wait. I just wanted to thank you for all you did, for all the things you told him, especially in the last part...” she smiled at her.

“My dear, it’s not that simple...” the brunette vampiress informed her, shaking her head negatively.

“What do you mean?” the blonde vampiress narrowed her eyes.

“You know, I use to do that kind of games with almost all my victims, and it’s me who decided everything, making them see and hear whatever I wanted them to see and hear. And at the beginning, I was doing the same thing with LES, in order to force him to tell us what happened in his past, but... the last part... I don’t know exactly what happened, it’s just that... it wasn’t me,” she explained, astonishing GB.

(End I)

I hope you’ll still like it ..
