I hate her. I hate Buffy Summer's more than I've ever hated anyone in my life, or my un-life. Add in the years spent in Hell, and that is one very, very long time!
It's taken me time to get strong enough even to leave the Hell she sent me too. Besides being a world without shrimp, it was a world devoid of colour. A world devoid of strength. A world that saw me as lesser, half, due to my human side. And a world that made me stronger! I found the way back.
I fought beasts untold. I won their powers, and it was so very slow. I could feel each decade pass, as my bones turned harder. I fought against the silence that tried to claim this body. This mind. But of course, not this soul, as I gave that away years ago. And I would have given it again for what I now wanted.
Buffy Summers. And any and everyone that helped her send me to that horrid place. Angleus, if he ever comes within my grasp again, shall remember that it was I who taught Darla everything she knew about torture, and since it was she who taught him, that makes me Master.
Well, as she would have said, duh.
And there was another. He brought her back to life. And in doing so, ensured my pain. He too shall feel my wrath. In fact, I believe the town of Sunnydale should feel what I have felt. But now that it is gone, I shall go where she went. Salem. A place with rich history of evil and corruption. Perfect. After all, they should know Hell, as I have known it. Pain, destruction, these are the presents I bring back with me.
Should know Hell, as I have known it. Pain, destruction, these are the presents I bring back with me.
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, Joyful Kwanzaa. Whatever. I bring my own gifts to this party.
But first, I must grow stronger, to go above into the world of men again. The world that should been mind, and now will be again!
"Come to me," I called out to my vampire children, the new and old Order of Aurelius. "Come, let's get this party started." I smiled, revealing fangs as I always did.
Still, I sat. It wasn't quite time. But oh, it was so very, very close. I could almost taste slayer blood, Again...
