Race Against Time.

For the prompt Race from open_on_sunday. Set before "What's My Line, Part One".

Race Against Time

Spike paced the Factory floor. Drusilla had been becoming weaker with every passing day. He just had to find a way to restore her strength. The other vampires were watching her, he know only his protection would save her. Vampires really did observe survival of the fittest, but he was a Master vampire, and the slayer of Slayers. His reputation would protect Drusilla.

He was at present terrorising Dalton, the bookish vampire was his main hope. They had the books, now if only he could get Dalton to translate the text, they would find a way to restore his Princess.

Excellent piece! Poor Spike. He's so worried about Dru. I can't help contrasting this with how Dru treated him when Angelus came back. *sniffs*

Yes Dru is flickle. Forgot who really put her first when Daddy arrived!

Thank You, great feedback as always.

Thank You! It does often seem to be overlooked. Then I love Spike and Dru together.

Oh Spike always worrying about his princess... I love this in him. When he loves he puts all his heart in it.

You know...I think both Spike and Angel loved Drusilla more than they did Buffy. I mean, they both had a soft spot for her and what was done to her.

I love them for that.

Nice words you wrote. Really made me think and feel :)

A wonderful compliment, that I made you think and feel with my 100 words!

Yes Angel and Spike did seem to be very fond of Drusilla. She appealed to their protective instincts!

I love that Spike would do anything to help and protect his dark princess.
That if anything shows his human traits.

Thank You, they were a very special couple. Evil, but with that touch of humanity in them, enough to love
