Blood Brothers: Part One
by Darla
Part One

The sinking sun set deep in a dark sky signaled the coming forth of the dark ones. It seemed as though the night would never fully come, and the sunlight was a death wish for one of the night. Lucifer gazed quietly out of the window, shades drawn back only an inch, to avoid contact with the still setting sun to his pale skin. The quiet vampire feared the day with a dark intensity, and only awaited the coming of his time to roam free as the insolent humans who dominated the light.

He had been one of them himself. He knew that. Somehow, though, his human life was all a blurred mystery. But there was one thing that Lucifer remembered as clear as the day that held him prisoner here, hiding in the shadows. He remembered his brother. Dark Angelus, who had gained his vampire senses not long before Lucifer himself, and who he followed. Who he thought of night and day. And it was his brother who he had known and hated when he had looked up into the night for the first time with vampire rage and intensity. Angelus had been human, but after following the demon child Darla, his brother was one like him.

But somewhere along the line, as Lucifer had watched, trailing his brother most of his life, Angelus had lost his darkness, and become a demon with a soul. The rarest of creatures, thought Lucifer. What good was a demon with a soul? If not to reek havic on the living mortals, what job did a demon have? But Angelus, who had now called himself the passive vampire Angel, had adapted to the light miraculously.

But even more then all of that was the slayer. Buffy Summers. Lucifer knew the name well. He had heard it many times. And he had watched her. Buffy, with her friends and family, and her vampire lover. It seemed too far out of sight to believe. And if Lucifer had told it to any other vampire who had not seen it as he had would greatly doubt the truth in the matter.

Lucifer hated his brother even more now. It was his humanity that bound him to the insolent Buffy, the most hated by vampires and other earth demons. Lucifer had watched them together. But now it would all end. Lucifer would finally control Angel as he had always dreamed of doing. For as his brother almost drained his blood and left him near death, Lucifer had seen the malicious smile and remembered it for 240 years. He would have his revenge...
