Vindication

The stars always sang such beautiful songs, full of pain and flickering clarity. Little suns too distant to burn, windows from one world to another punched through the night like fangs through a white neck.

So Drusilla isn't surprised when the stars finally come down to Earth, bright and deadly (and all with the same name). While people flee and tremble like children before them, she takes up their starsong. The earth shakes and the big mean sun disappears as she sweeps through London for the last time, all fangs and claws and eyes that promise escape and rest. Exterminating.

Very nice! Terrible for the Earth of course, but wonderful use of Drusilla.

Thanks! I'm almost tempted to write a full-length version of this - Drusilla stalking London in the midst of the panic...

Be tempted. Please! This was fantastic :)

So very Drusilla. She would've been so thrilled.

It'd be like Christmas for her. Thanks!
