Drip drip drabble

Ok so this will probably get used as infrequently as my art thread, but I did some drabbles while at work today!

Cordelia

Cordelia walked home alone from the Prom, knowing that things were going to change after school ended. Grateful to Xander for buying her dress, but wondering if she might need to sell it one day. She had managed to save a bit of money from working at the store, enough to get herself a bus ticket out of Sunnydale. LA, that was where she planned to go, she figured she would easily be able to get work there, maybe as a model or an actress. It wouldn't be long before she was able to buy what she wanted again.

Angel

Angel returned to his apartment after the The Bronze, walking back almost on auto pilot. He had killed Darla, Darla his sire, the woman who had turned him, had damned him. Angel didn't know if he should be feeling guilty or relieved. Another strong, powerful vampire off the streets, and she had tried to kill Buffy. However it was Darla, and Angel thought there had to be some unspoken rule against killing your sire, especially if you had been with said sire for over a hundred years.

All he really knew was that he wanted to see Buffy again.

Spike

Spike was over at the Summers house again, although could it really be called that now that both Joyce and Buffy were dead. Yes Dawn was still there, but most days she just seemed like she wasn't there at all. Survivors guilt Tara had said, Spike didn't know much about guilt, but he did know about pain, and he could see that the girl was in pain whenever she looked at him. Dawn didn't look at people much anymore, and Spike found himself missing her inane chattering, her smile and laugh. In a way he missed it more than Buffy's as Dawn was still there in front of him.

OK, here is one from me about Spuffy with an exact 100 words::


Spike decided that he would give Buffy a ring in the hope that she would see him as a man rather than a monster and make their relationship permanent. When she saw the ring, she said, “It's very nice, Spike, but I'm not in the market for a relationship now.” Spike was dejected and returned to the cemetery where his crypt was. Before he got to his crypt, he entered a mausoleum where he put the ring back where he got it from, on a dead woman's finger. Then he returned to his own crypt to sulk and watch “Passions”.

Okay...….on that standard you both should be entering the Drabble comp!!!!!!

@nightshade Love all three. Cordelia's money troubles and move to LA is given far too little attention. I think people forget that her bubbly facade in City Of is born from desperation and fear of failure. A great failing of the episode Angel - which is otherwise one of the very best episodes of the season - is its failure to give any sense of weight to Angel's decision to kill Darla. I like the Spike one the very best. Spike dwells on pain and he is able to recognise pain in others.

@Ethan Reigns That made me chuckle.

Harmony

The light was fading fast and she knew that tonight was the night. She was strong and she had a plan. She didn't need a man, she was going to have minions! Of course she couldn't just have any random vampire, they had to look good and be useful. After all what was the point of having them if they didn't bring her gifts, preferably something pink and girly. She had seen other vampires have minions, so why not her, she might have been new to being a vampire, but she was going to be queen.
