Chapter 12 by ThomasMoro

What does Faith do next?

Faith stalls

"Now would be a good time to let go of my arm, B," said Faith.

"For the umpteenth time --"

"I know," said Faith. "You're not B. You're Anne. Still. I wish you'd just snap out of whatever spell you're under."

"Wait!" said Spike. "You mean to say that this other girl is also a Slayer?"

"Don't you recognize her?" asked Faith.

"Yes, I do," said Spike. "But to tell the truth, I thought she was just a lookalike."

"Who are you talking about?" asked B as she let go of Faith's arm. "What's a Slayer?"

"Why, you're a Slayer," said a calm, maternal-sounding voice that spoke with a British accent. "Didn't your twin sister Faith ever tell you?"

"I'm not her sister," said Faith, but by then B's eyes were focused on the latest visitor to Faith's table. She was a short pale-faced brunette in a very old-fashioned black dress. She looked very familiar to B -- but since Anne was in charge and Anne didn't recognize her...

"Who are you?" B asked.

"Why, my name is Drusilla and if you wish, I could be your mummy and make all your problems go away. Just look into my eyes..."

"I'm sorry, lady, but I ain't doin' nothin' for you unless you pay me," said B, quickly turning away from Drusilla's hypnotic eyes. "I've already been stiffed once today."

Drusilla turned to Spike and asked, "Is she kidding?"

"No, my luv," said Spike. "I don't think she is. Faith here just said something about her being under a spell."

Drusilla smiled. "So we don't only have the opportunity to kill two Slayers for the price of one but one of them is unarmed, undressed and insane." Drusilla rubbed her hands together. "Mummy is going to enjoy this."
