Bury me deep inside your heart

Epilogue

 

"Let me guess, you didn't kill the gheraious" Alain's voice greeted Electra as she entered her room.

 

The blonde vampire looked around taking in her trashed room. She pursed her lips and looked at Alain.

 

He was giving his back at her; he was looking at Giles' living room through the Solomon's mirror. The red-head was grazing William's hair, she was watching him rest.

 

<Perfect...>

 

She thought with a smile. She got close to Alain, saying, "And you almost got dusted...I told you not to enter this story..."

 

Alain turned hiding his hands behind his back; he tilted his head on a side and said, "You know? I was wondering at your behaviour, you kept repeating me that everything was going according to your plans...but you see, mon ami, a stake tends to make me nervous...so when I came back here, I looked around...and look at what I found."

 

He produced some sheets, Electra got closer to him saying, "Gee, Alain did you find my secret diary?"

 

"No, but it made for an interesting reading all the same..." he placed the sheets on a table, next to the mirror and asked, "Do you want me to read some of its more interesting passages to you?"

 

"I know it by heart, cherie...you don't need to. It took me long to translate it...it took me long to decipher it...I was bound to learn it by heart" She got past him and looked at mirror, watching as Willow rested her head against Spike's chest, the vampire slowly stretched a hand and brushed her hair, a soft, weak smile on his lips. She smiled and said in a low voice, “When the sacrifice will be reflected in the mirror, the future will be woven by fire's warp and love will become a puppet. Reflection of the red passion"

 

"The Eletti isn't dead, why?" Alain asked interrupting her.

 

"He wasn't meant to, cherie..."

 

"Why?" Alain asked.

 

Electra turned and smiling at him said, "Did you read the prophecy, cherie? My plan is a bit bigger...and much more funny..."

 

"What are we going to do?" Alain asked.

 

"We? Did you hear me talk about us? Sorry cherie, as much as a part of me loves you, this isn't an amateurs' playground..."

 

The brown-haired vampire looked at her puzzled, and said, "Oh, you wound me, Electra...have you already forgotten who freed you? Who put together the demons for your little experiment last month?"

 

"I haven't and part of me will be always grateful, but you see, cherie?" she said getting close to him, "You couldn't help me even if you were able to, because I'm the only one who knows about the prophecy..."

 

Alain shook his head saying, "I don't think so..."

 

Quicker than eyes could see she produced a stake from the waistband of her trousers, Alain didn't even have time to move, for Electra staked him, with deadly efficiency right trough the heart .

 

Electra shrugged and smiling said, "*I* think so, moron"

 

The look on Alain's face, as his body quickly turned into dust, was one of disbelief; Electra couldn't help laughing at it.

 

She shrugged and got past Alain's ashes, she took a look at the mirror, and grazed it with a finger saying, "Look at them.... how lovely they are...their joy as sweet as poison on my lips...my little, darling puppets..."
