Darcy sat by his desk in his office in his great mansion, where he had been sitting for the past two hours, doing paperwork.
He sighed and shook his head just a little for himself, wondering why he did all this stupid work anyway. Couldn't he just let someone else do it. But then he reminded himself that if he wanted something done properly, he had to do it himself. He couldn't trust anyone else with all this, he had to do it himself. And anyway, he couldn't stand not being in control, not even when it came to paperwork.
As he was about to finish for the night, and all the papers were signed, bills were payed, and all were sorted, one of the vampires in a higher rank knocked on the high door, and he entered as Darcy said he could.
The vampire walked over to Darcy and handed him some more paper. With just a sigh, Darcy let the vampire know he could go, and looked down at the paper. It was some invoice for Rosa nightclub, and as he saw the name Rosa, it struck him. He hadn't seen or talked to Rosa for over a week now. For some reason her room was at the other side of the mansion, and they had managed to miss each other, and he had been so busy that he hadn't even given it a second thought.
He put down the invoice on the, now, clear table, and let it lay there til tomorrow. Now he had to see Rosa.
Darcy walked out of his office, and all the way to the other end of his mansion, til he was standing in front of her door. And there he stopped. Why hadn't they seen each other all this week? Perhaps they hadn't just missed each other, perhaps Rosa had avoided him? Perhaps Rosa didn't wanted to see him?
Darcy shook his head and got rid of the nonsense. Of course she wanted to see him. She might even have missed him.
Darcy knocked on the large door to Rosa's chamber, and waited for a reply.

Rosa had been in her room for a week,rumors spread about the mansion why. Rosabel still had not been able to recover from the fact that she had been called a brat for doing the right thing. From helping another vampiress....but she had recovered from this,it was to the fact that rumors had been spreading that Darcy did not wish to see her. Even his right hand man Phillip seemed to annoy her so she shut herself off from the world. She wanted to see him but she wondered if he even had time. Rosa had been in her room that day in a outfit that was somewhat of a nightgown. She had been laying on her bed,reading,even when she heard the door knock,she had sensed it was Darcy. "It's open..." She replied and waited. [Her nightgown- i177.photobucket.com/albums/w206/Emy1989_album/Dark%20City/dresses/auction13.jpg ] |

Darcy stepped into the room and shut the door behind him. He could now confirm that she had been avoiding him. This was a room that had been very well used the last week, and even now that they were in the same room she seemed distant.
Darcy could figure out why, but thought it was stupid. It had been some time ago, and even if he had been really upset, he had gotten over it. Well, he had gotten over it so much that he could, and wanted, to speak to her, not just slap her for her thoughtlessness. Why hadn't she?
Still standing by the door Darcy spoke:
"Is everything alright?"

Rosa smirked and closed the book she was reading,turning around as she saw Darcy,she could mostly tell he was annoyed with her sometimes about her stupid idea. But it had saved a life,wasn't that worth it? She would like to think it to be. Rosabel still stayed upon her bed as she said,"Yes,everything is fine. I just...I just thought you needed your space...to calm your thoughts. I mean,you were mad at me..you called me a brat. I knew you were upset. I was out of line..." She tilted her head and asked him,"Why are you standing over there?"

"My thought are as calm as they can be"
Darcy answered. He let go of the door knob he had been holding, and walked over to Rosabel with soft and slow steps, as if he were sneaking. He smiled just slightly, and tried to lighten up the mood a bit.
"But you are still brat. An yes, you were out of line, but I hope now you know better."
He wasn't trying to start an argument, he just stating, what he considered, facts. After their argument after Rosabel's huge slip (lapse?), Darcy just assumed that she would know better and never ever do anything like that again.

"I was out of line..."She replied."I should have known...."She slid off her bed,her feet landing on the floor as she stood up,she walked away from her bed,her barefeet touching the ground. She then looked down and replied,"I should have realized that it was not my place." She then got a light shiver as she asked him,"Is there anyway you can forgive me?" The truth was that a couple of the vampires told her that she should act like this or else she would be killed just like the other vampiresses who disobeyed Darcy.

Darcy could sense she wasn't truly herself. The old Rosa that Darcy knew wouldn't have taken this, she would have argued to the death.
Darcy raised one eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, you were out of line..."
He didn't know quite how to put it. He could feel how fake it sounded, her voice, her "pitch", everything, and it bothered him.
"But you don't really care, do you. So why this attitude?"

He could sense she was not herself,he knew that this was only a cover up. Rosabel never had any moment to be afraid of him but now she did. Her chest was heaving beneath her corset nightgown. Rosa looked at Darcy and replied,"Yes,I do care...this is no attitude. I thought this was what you wanted. For me to fall into line. For me to what you want. Like a proper vampiress should. I thought you would have wanted this but you think I'm a liar..." Rosa knew that she would surely fail if next called her a Lily.

Darcy could sense she were afraid of him, and he wanted to find out why. Sure he could be intimidating, but he didn't know how he could be now, he could be much worse.
"Yes I think you are a liar. I know you Lilly, or at least I thought I did. Just because you're turned into a vampiress, doesn't mean that you change your whole personality. It doesn't work like that. And I don't like people that are false."
Darcy regretted that he had come here tonight. He wasn't in the mood for arguing. He was tired, and tense, he could snap at any time. But the sooner he better that he found out how false she really was.

Rosa shut her eyes and then looked at him sharply,she hated being called a liar and he knew she did. "If I tell you the truth..."She asked him. "Will you promise not to make me feel the villian,that's the reason why I shut myself up here in the first place because you made me feel the villian...." Rosabel sighed and sat on her bed,replying,"It's your friend Phillip,he came to speak to me a week ago and told me to start acting like all the other vampiresses or else I would suffer death by your hand...he said that I was already on a death list anyways..."

Darcy nodded just a little and raised his head slightly as he listened to what she had to say, all with a very stern face.
When he heard Phillip's name he wasn't surprised, but angry all the same. hat was he up to? He obviously tried to make whatever relationship there were between Darcy and Rosa very hard, but why?
He said nothing for a long time. He did believe her, he had thought that Phillip was acting strange for the past few months, ever since Rosa got turned, but why did Rosa listen to him so easily? Where she really so scared of him, Darcy? That was not the Rosa he knew, but then again, he didn't know her all that well, and no-one never really knew what was on Darcy's mind.
"And he said why you were on this "death list"?"

Rosa shook her head and replied,"No,he only said I would be put on that list if I did not fall into line like a good vampiress...not that you care anyways..." Rosa said with a sharp tone to her,not looking at him as she walked to her window,looking out it,she inhaled a breath as she looked curiously seeing a cloaked fiqure walking around the grounds,staring up at her. Rosa just sighed and said to him,"You don't even care..."

Darcy just frowned when Rosa claimed that he didn't care, and couldn't care less what she thought right now. He was so confused. Why had Phillip told her this? What was he up to?
Darcy looked down at the floor, as he tried to figure it all out, and didn't even notice that Rosa moved to the window. When he came to it again, he looked at her back, and standing straight up, with his hands on his back, he went for the door. As he laid his hand on the golden knob on her door he stopped, wanting to say something to Rosa, wanting to explain, and wanting an explanation, but he just let out a gasp of deject (?), and went out of her room, slamming the door behind him.
Darcy stopped outside her door, leaning against the wall beside it. He had just wished for this night to be calm, without trouble. He wanted to go back into Rosa's room, and get that explanation, but he resisted that urge, not wanting to make things worse.

Rosa heard the door shut and she felt her heart crumble,she was unsure why but it did. Her bitterness had come back to haunt her and she knew it. She knew something would anger him about her. But she knew that something was coming...that she was scared. She knew that something was going to happen to affect the vampires and the slayers. Rosabel just didn't know what. But she knew she was scared..more scared than she was ever before. Rosabel slowly walked to her door,her lips trembling as she placed her hand on the door and turned her back to it,sliding down it,her voice shaking as she whispered,shaking,"I'm sorry..."

Darcy could her Rosa move towards the door, and for a moment he thought that she were angry and were gonna burst open the door and shout at him, so he backed away from the door and waited for her, but instead he could feel that she wasn't angry but scared. And it wasn't of him. It was... Something he couldn't put his finger on.
Darcy heard how she slid down the door, and how she whispered "I'm sorry..."
He went to the door again, and but his palms to it, his "fatherly-instincts" turned on.
"Rosa?"
