Apocalypse Ave, near Caritas, Tuesday Night

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Lindsey had decided to head over to Caritas. He was pretty sure Piper was there, and he needed to get out of the dorms anyway. So he was walking down Apocalypse Ave on his way to the karaoke place, humming to himself. Maybe he'd sing tonight.

[ooc:For Darla, but if you happen to be wandering the streets of Fandom Tuesday night you can get commenty if you like.]

Darla was lurking out in the night, wanting to burn off some fury after her meeting with Angel earlier (http://www.livejournal.com/users/vampire_darla/2630.html). She recognized Lindsey, from when Bel and brought him, and even more from when she'd known him in LA. Then, he'd hung on her every word.

Smiling and feeling vindictive, she strolled up to him, singing quietly. "Sing, sing a song, make it last the whole night long..."

Lindsey stopped, startled. He hadn't expected to see anyone, and certainly not any hot blonde vampire chicks. So, like any dumb teenage boy would, he attempted to dazzle her with his conversational skills.

"Uh. Hey."

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

"Hello. I'm suprised to see you out and about. I thought you were holed up in school, studying dilligently for the future."

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

"I go out!" he protested. "Occasionally. Studying dilligently is overrated."

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I agree completely. After all, you never know what's going to happen. Your entire life might change in the blink of an eye." Darla snaps her fingers.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess so." Lindsey shrugged, watching Darla curiously.

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla walked closer. "And sometimes, it ends just as fast. Tragic, really. Tell me, Lindsey, are you still friends with Bel? How is he doing?"

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

"I'm hoping for a non-tragic end, myself. Bel? He's ok I guess. Haven't really seen him since I got back. Why?"

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

"Just curious. You see, we've become rather close and I wondered if he mind if I ripped your throat out." Still grinning, rather close, Darla vamped out and grabbed Lindsey's neck in the v of her hand. "I'm guessing not."

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

This was exactly the sort of tragic end Lindsey had wanted to avoid for himself. Oops.

He whimpered, involuntarily, and looked around wide-eyed. Calling for help really didn't seem like a viable option.

"But, I, uh...why me?"

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla shrugged, and dragged him closer. "Why not?" She tilted her head, aiming her teeth for his throat. "Struggle," she whispered. "I want you to wiggle and thrash and beg. It will amuse me."

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Struggling did seem like an ok option, but why amuse someone who was going to have you for dinner?

"Amusing you isn't real high on my list of priorities," he managed to squeak out.

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla laughed right in his ear. "You might live longer if you amuse me. Try it. It's worth a shot, right?"

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Lindsey jerked his head back at the laugh.

"How much longer?"

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

"Thirty seconds?"

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

"That's all?"

Thirty seconds was better than nothing. Maybe. So he made an effort to wriggle his way out of her grip. He didn't really expect to get loose, but maybe 30 seconds would be enough for someone else to walk by.

Laughing, Darla let him struggle. After she'd counted twenty-eight and a half, she let go.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Lindsey jumped back as soon as Darla let go. He then backed away slowly, watching her carefully.

"Am I supposed to run in terror for your amusement now?"

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

"If you like. Or I could just kill you."

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

"I think I'll try the running."

With that, he took off in the direction of the school, all thoughts of Caritas forgotten. School just seemed safer. If he could make it back, and he wasn't at all confident that he could.

Darla laughed, and watched him go. "Be sure to tell Angel I said hi," she called after him.
