WHO: Lilah Morgan (CLOSED) WHAT: She has her orders WHEN: after the candy incident is over! WHERE: Wolfram and Hart RATING: PG13 STATUS: COMPLETE
Well that candy thing had been an interesting distraction, but now it was back to business. The situation with the Champion was brewing along nicely, the Slayer now had two assassins after her and Bela was also being kept in gainful employment. Time now to focus on Lilah's other orders. Making Lindsey McDonald suffer.
After her stunt with Peter, she doubted another kidnapping would be easy to pull off and besides, it all had a flavor of been there and done that. No, something new was in order and as such Lilah called in her favorite psychics, mages and warlocks for a consultation.
She sat at the head of the conference room table, idly playing with her silver pen as she half listened to them bounce ideas back and forth, each trying to gain her favor. Until one said something that made her put her hand up to halt them all in their tracks.
"Say that again."
There was a pause as they all tried to figure out which she had meant before one cautiously ventured forward. "They've both died before?"
A cruel smirk crept over Lilah's face as she leaned back in her chair, her mind already working.
"Really now. That is interesting."
Lindsey she had known about, but the girlfriend, that was new. She looked across at one Warlock, who specialized in dreams and nightmares.
"Think you can work with that?"
He nodded, even as he looked quizzical. "You want me to just make them dream of that?"
"For starters."
She got up and strode to the window, looking out over her city.
"Remind them both of how fragile they are. Force them to relive their death over and over again in their dreams. Hell, make it funny, let them dream of each other's deaths. A past they can never change, no matter how much they want to."
And then? Then, after the inescapability of that had truly sunk in, Lilah knew exactly how to kick it up a notch.
