R&R!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autum shakes as she tries to tell him something. “Spike? William? We have to go… go back. She’s there.”
“Who pet?”
“Death…”
~~~~~~
Autum and Spike show up at the Hyperion where they are met by Angel, “Why are you back?”
Autum put her hand out to him, taking his own hand and holding it. “Death is knocking and it’s time for the return. Sorry we didn’t call first, lamb.”
“Buffy’s not here, she left.”
Autum rolls her eyes at him, “That’s the reason we came… ordinarily I’d let her take care of it. Is Connor around?”
“I’m here.” Connor’s cold voice comes from the shadows.
“Good… call Sky and Mitch. I’m gonna call Phil and see if he has a way to get us into Sunset.”
“Why?”
Autum looks up at him in fear, “Drusilla’s here and she has Willow.”
Oz runs down the stairs, “Guys, Willow’s missing!”
“Already got that.” Angel says, clearly pissed at seeing Autum and Spike back. Connor couldn’t help it. She’d just gotten here and he’d already forgiven her in his head.
“Oh.” Oz looks astonished… which is odd, ‘cause Oz with an expression is like Harmony with a good idea, it just doesn’t happen.
“So, you calling them or what?” She raises her eyebrow at Connor. He nods and goes to the phone.
~~~~~~~
“Thanks, Phil. You’re a lifesaver.” Connor got off the phone and went over to Autum, “He said to be there in 15. The guys are already on their way.
Autum shoves everyone into the closet. “What’s up with this, babe?” Faith asks the Essence.
Autum rolls her eyes and closes the door, she opens it and they’re in a nightclub. “This is the Sunset. Don’t touch anything, don’t kill anyone. Connor, I see Mitch and Sky. Let’s go plan our set up. I put a glamore on you. So don’t mess it up.” She pulls Connor away with her.
Buffy stands right up front, She’d had that dream again… the exact same one she’d had when she’d been dying. So she was here, and she’d stay here until Autum showed up.
The manager came out on stage, “And now may I present… DOOMSDAY!!!” The crowd eats it up and jumps as Autum, Connor, Mitch and Sky come onto the stage.
Autum takes the mic, “Right then, ducks. Now I know you’re all gettin a bit of the jitters in the wait. So we’re going to start off with a simple one for you. Hit it, pet.” Mitch started off with a beat as Connor started in with the melody. Autum’s voice rang out and the crowd was silently waiting for the chorus that the all loved.
Filling every gap
The shadow in my soul
Obsession drives me on
Onwards to my goal
No place for man to speak
Nothing to drive us on
Without a place to go
Hope is lost is gone
The crowd screams the chorus along with her. (below is the chorus)
Drive onward to my sanctuary
Handcrafted out of stone
Tomb of all forgotten things
As one of them I’ve grown
The crowd cheers and shouts and whistles at her.
Fallen angels from the sky
Hear their flapping wings
Voices raised, the devil’s cry
The darkness ‘round us sings
Autum throws her hands in the air and then puts the mic out for the crowd to sing along with. Buffy rethinks her plan as a mosh pit starts right next to her.
Drive onward to my sanctuary
Handcrafted out of stone
Tomb of all forgotten things
As one of them I’ve grown
Autum belts out and holds the note before delving into the highest notes in the song.
Sanctuary holds my place
Abides by all my laws
Forgotten heartbeat’s pace increased
Pointing out my flaws
The crowd is still at and uproar… but calms down as the tempo drops.
Drive onward to my sanctuary
Handcrafted out of stone
Tomb of all forgotten things
As one of them I’ve grown
Autum holds the note and the crowd bursts into cheers. And Connor steps forward for his guitar solo. The crowd eats it up.
Drive onward to my sanctuary
Handcrafted out of stone
Tomb of all forgotten things
As one of them I’ve grown
Received my black wings!
At the last line of the song the crowd screams it with her. Autum smiles and steps back from the mic… still no Dru yet. But she’d be here soon.
Angel hadn’t known Connor could do that… he hadn’t known Autum could sing like that. Angel had known that she liked to sing. But now he knows more then he’d ever bothered to here. Someone bumped into him, “Hey! Watch it!”
Dru silently pushed past her daddy. To the stage where she’d show Willy why he was to be hers.
Autum and the band got ready for the next song. Autum stood and grabbed the mic. The crowd cheered the band on. “Alright… now, put it together for our newest number, Again!” The crowd got silent so they could pick up the new song. If it was by Doomsday and it was new, chances were that this was the first time they’d preformed it. Meaning that if they listened they’d know it before everyone else did. Thereby making them kewl(when spelled this way it makes it more than just cool.)
Listen!
Dru stands at the stage, swaying to the music.
Why don’t people ever find a place to call their own?
Why don’t people ever listen when the preachers preach of old?
Drowning, accepting the limits that we teach
Hiding in darkness, just so we can’t be reached
Without a place to run, without the cover of the night!
Without a sanctuary, will you hold your own in the fight?
Autum sings/ Spike sees Dru
Don’t try to kid me!
Didn’t you ever know?
Lies burning through me!
Don’t try to kid me,
Again
Spike motions to Angel towards Dru/ Autum singing
Horrors running down the streets
Terror flooding in your mind
Harbingers that can’t be breached
Little ones the place to find
Dru grabs someone and bites them
Don’t try to kid me!
Didn’t you ever know?
Lies burning through me!
Don’t try to kid me,
Angel and Spike both rush at her/ Buffy rushes at her/ Autum sings and sees Dru. She jumps off the stage during the guitar solo. She punches Dru in the face. Dru hisses and punches back. Angel and Spike take over as Autum does a back flip onto the stage, grabs her guitar and does a duet type thing with Connor
Don’t try to kid me!
Didn’t you ever know?
Lies burning through me!
Don’t try to kid me,
By this time, the crowd has caught onto the lyrics and is belting it with her. On their feet, also cheering on Angel and Spike. Ignoring the dead guy. When Autum goes in for the big finish, the crowd is deadly silent again.
Listen!
Listen!
Listen!
Again
Spike and Angel pull Dru back through the portal… eventually the entire gang goes back in, save those in the band.
~~~~~~~
Autum returns backstage after the show and sees the Slayer waiting for her. She’s not all that surprised, “Hello ducks.” She grins, “Enjoy the show? Have all our little dears put in for it?”
Buffy stands, “What was going on? What’s up?”
“Willow, Dru got to her. If you want to help, you can.”
“Me? Help you? I don’t think so.” Buffy says coldly.
Autum shrugs, “Have it your wan then, pet. You can still help without them finding out about it though… just chant me up sometime. Have a nice little chat, hmm? It’ll be fun.” Autum grins as she goes into the closet. Buffy opens it to find she’s gone.
