Timeless Love - Chapter 6

1900 China

 

In the misty bamboo forest Drusilla chopped off the bamboo stalk and tore the leaves apart. She pierced through the stem to make a hole, and then she inserted red cloth into it. She put on a bamboo muzzle in her mouth and tied it. It prevented her from biting anyone or getting splashed blood into her mouth. She went to the hut and put on new clothes. She wore a light pink kimono with a hemp leaf pattern, the lining a paler pink, with a red and white checkered obi and a thin piece of orange thread looped and knotted around her waist, another band of green above it. Over this, she sported a long, dark brown haori that reached past her knees, as well as pink zori sandals and white socks, wrapped with thick pieces of black material and finally she put on a black coat. Drusilla brushed her hair and tied it with a small pink ribbon. She looked really good in that new outfit. 

 

The moon almost rose, she gathered all the weapons and bombs in the crates and put inside the ship. That was the last of it. When the moon began to rise, she prepared the ship across the sea. Drusilla saw something from the land. There was smoke in the air with very brightening light and hot. A fire? Was there a battlefield? She had to hurry and save innocent lives. She knew Angelus and the others were already there.

 

Drusilla arrived at the land and searched for the survivors in this area. But there weren’t out there. So she went into the hut, inside it was dark, vandalized. She scanned around the hut. Suddenly, she heard a noise from the corner. Then she found the survivors, there one boy and one girl behind those barrels. Of course, the poor children were scared. Drusilla removed her bamboo muzzle so she could speak to them.

 

“It’s alright, I won’t hurt you. Where are your parents?” she asked.

 

The young boy responded, “That… that man murdered our parents.” Drusilla was aghast.

 

“He invaded our village and killed them in front of us,” the little girl said, “We hid in the hut so he couldn’t find us. He… is a monster!” she cried, her big brother comforted her. 

 

The boy said, “He was tall, he has black hair-”

 

“Yes, I know him. He murdered my family, too.” Drusilla said, “Listen, that man's name is Angelus and he’s a vampire.”

 

“Vampire?!” she gasped.

 

“Yes. He made me insane before I was turned. But right now, I’m a good vampire with a soul.” said Drusilla.

 

“A soul? You’re a good vampire?” asked the boy. 

 

“So you’ll help us?” asked the girl, hopefully.

 

“Uh-huh, there is a ship out there. So you have to evacuate.” said Drusilla. 

 

“Okay, thank you, miss. Let’s go, Mei Ying.” said Li. 

 

They both evacuated the hut and got in the ship safely. Now she had to find the next survivors. 

 

She found the elders, women, men, children and disabled people. And everyone got on the ship safely. 

 

“I guess that’s the last of them.” Drusilla thought.

 

“Okay, all of you are here. I’ll start a ship and—” 

 

“Wait! Where’s Xin? My daughter is out there!” the woman cried.

 

“What? Is she still out there?” shocked Drusilla.

 

“My daughter is a slayer. She’s fighting a vampire right now.” said the woman.

 

“Slayer…” Drusilla thought.

 

Then she suddenly had a vision, a Chinese slayer was fighting with a vampire, it was Spike. He was able to knock the stake from her hand, caught her, and bit her. She told him to tell her mother she was sorry in Chinese. 

 

.

Back in reality, Drusilla couldn’t let that  happen! She had to hurry and aid her before he killed her!

 

“She must be in that temple,” Drusilla said, “I want you all to stay here till I get back. I will bring your daughter back.” Drusilla jumped down from the ship and headed to the Buddhist temple. Inside the hall, all the warriors were deceased, their necks had torn and the bodies were missing limbs. 

 

Drusilla heard a footsteps coming front of her. It was a blonde woman wearing a green hanfu carrying a sword. It was Darla.

 

“I’d never thought you’d come to this place. And I knew you were cursed by Kalderash to have a filthy soul.” said Darla, having a scowl on her face.

 

Drusilla narrowed her eyes and took a fighting stance. Darla drew out her sword and took a stance. 

 

“Prepare to die, Drusilla.” said Darla, transforming her face into a vampire and charging at her. Then Drusilla put on a game face and charged at her, as well.  

 

They both clashed with each other every blow and strike. Drusilla dodged Darla’s sword she struck, kicked her into her gut, uppercut under her chin. Angered, Darla slashed her shoulder, Dru yelled in muffle, it was painful. Leaving a gash on her shoulder. 

 

Drusilla endured the pain, she jabbed her to the jaw, kicked her to the rib, grappled her armed hand to drop the sword, and threw her to the ground. Drusilla took the sword and said, " Nice try."

 

Darla said, " Damn you! I'm not done yet."

 

Darla kicked to Dru’s head as she fell back to the floor. Darla pinned her down and pummeled her face. Drusilla kicked her gut by force. She then fought her back with brutality. Darla knocked out cold. Drusilla had to find the slayer to aid. 

Inside the Buddhist Temple 

 

“Say goodnight, Slayer.” said Spike, trying to bite her. Someone yanked his head and threw him to the wall. 

 

The Chinese Slayer was surprised that someone saved her life. There was a young woman who wore a pink kimono, with red and white checkered obi, those were black leg warmers on her shins, and had sandals, a pink ribbon on her hair, and a bamboo muzzle in her mouth. 

 

“Drusilla?” Spike gasped, “What are you doing and why are you helping the slayer?”

Drusilla removed the muzzle from her mouth and spoke to him. 

 

“I’m here to stop you, Spike. I’m here to help the Slayer. And I am sorry that I made you.” said Drusilla.

 

Spike began to glare at Drusilla's decision to betray him for a Slayer. Xia Rong was confused by this. Is this woman a vampire being good? 

 

“You… you came here to help me?” asked Xia. 

 

Drusilla nodded, “I have a soul. I no longer kill people. And I won’t let you kill any more people. Or make it much worse!” said Drusilla. 

 

Spike sneered at this new revelation. He turned to Drusilla taking his attention off of Xia. " So, is that going to be? After all things you did for me? To decide that you have a soul?" His voice raised in anger. Drusilla stood there firmly.

 

“Spike, no matter how much I show to be a vampire. I still have a soul and I’m going to help the helpless,” Drusilla said, standing in a fighting stance. “Now, prepare yourself… William.” 

 

Spike shut his eyes in anger. “Don’t you call me THAT!!” roared Spike, charging at Drusilla.

 

Drusilla saw Spike charging at her ready to fight him. Her own creation… No, this creation was corrupt by rage for Slayers and for power. Xia saw that Spike was occupied with his new target. Xia quickly got up and kicked Spike in the head. Spike was blindsided by the kick he forgot about his soon to be next victim. Xia headed towards where Drusilla was standing, still knowing full well it was for a distraction for Drusilla to go in for an uppercut. Xia kicked Spike’s gut. Spike now getting up from the attack and in rage ran at Xia onl for Spike to get blindsided again by Drusilla palm to the chest causing him to lose his breath. Xia gripped her Sebon and struck him to the knee. Spike trying to regain his breathing he felt a pain in his knee falling down and grasping his knee and hiss in pain. As Xia and Drusilla surrounded  him they heard a door slammed open to reveal a newcomer from the doorway. They both turned to the newcomer. Unsure if he is friend or foe. Either way this gave Spike an opportunity to make his getaway or to ambush the two.

 

“Drusilla…” Angelus growled, “I thought I’d I never seen you again, yet I know you still have a soul for helping people.” Drusilla was staring at Angelus, Xia turned to her in confusion.

 

 " You know him?” Xia asked at Drusilla. Spike now slowly regained his balance. 

 

“Yes. He murdered my family right in front of me. I was losing my mind before he turned me into a demon! AND YOU DESERVE TO DIE!!!” screamed Drusilla, turning her face into a visage vampire, charging at Angelus.

 

 While Xia was distracted Spike tackled Xia to the ground. Xia fell to the ground to see Spike gain the upper hand. She wasn't going to let him win. She gripped her weapon and whacked him on the side of the ribs causing a few fractures and making him hold his side in pain. She got back up on her feet and kicked him in his ribs. Which he let out a painful scream. 

 

Drusilla counterattack Angelus. She turned to seeing Xia taking care of Spike. Drusilla turned her attention back at Angelus who recovered from the counterattack. She dashed toward him and kicked him in the chest. However, he stepped out of the way and punched her in the face which caused her to hit the floor hard.

 

“Drusilla!” cried Xia, didn’t pay attention that Spike struck her face, fell into the hard floor. 

 

Spike smirked and walked towards Xia grinning like a mad dog. Angelus grabbed Drusilla’s hair top of her head. Drusilla screamed in pain, trying to release his grasp. 

 

Xia grabbed something in her hand as Spike made his way towards her. She grabbed a bomb and tossed it towards the ceiling causing an explosion crumbling the temple.  

 

Angelus heard the explosion and turned to see the temple ceiling. Giving this opportunity to make her escape she pulled out a small knife and stabbed his thigh causing him to let go of her. 

 

Xia got up as the rubble hit Spike in the head. Xia got up and as the ceiling was falling more rapidly. She helped her new ally up and ran as Angelus still held on to his thigh and proceeded to pull the knife out of his thigh causing him to wince in pain as the ceiling crushed Spike and Angelus.  

 

Drusilla and Xia started to make their way out of the temple as it came down. Which was nothing but ruins. Xia turned to Drusilla and grinned. 

 

"I guess that makes us even," Xia joked as Drusilla chuckled despite the fact that they only met a few minutes ago.

 

Next day 

 

The Slayer and Drusilla traveled to Japan Drusilla watched as the ship made a few knots fasters while Xia watched Drusilla in amusement seeing her enjoying the ride. 

 

When they arrived in Japan, they both got off as Xia put her hand out. Drusilla took hers out as well and they both shook each other's hands. They both let go and made their way to their own destination.  Drusilla made her way to America and found a new home and job. She could move on and start a new eternal life.
