Thank God it's Friday. Parker's hoping to just get through today and then go kill people. She'll help you, but wouldn't you rather be elsewhere?

Sam's expression may have conveyed her failure to be convinced. "Right. But the offer's always open, Rory. You've got a lot of people who care and worry about you here. Make sure you take advantage of them."

Maybe this wasn't the right time, but... "And you'd be amazed how taking the bitches out will help. Seriously." She nodded and tried to remember what she'd been told. "Even if you're not physically involved, make sure you tell whomever's planning it everything you can remember. It'll help you get rid of any feelings of victimization you may have, because you'll be taking an active role."

"I talked to Angel - went straight to him, actually. I probably ought to talk to him again, just 'cause I'm a little more coherent, huh?" Rory mused.

"Angel's good," Sam said, "and I'm amazed you had both the bravery and the presence of mind to go to him right after a vampire attack. And coherence is always a plus," she smiled slightly.

Rory shrugged. "Darla sired him. I figured if anyone knew how to deal with her...."

Sam blinked. She hadn't known that. "I, uh, yeah. That makes sense. Any idea who sired her? Maybe we could ask that guy for some pointers."

"No idea. I know Drusilla is somehow tied to Angel too, through...family. That's what they consider it." Rory made a face. "But Darla sired him, yes. Or at least, Angelus told me that."

"Great. So, basically, we're trying to kill the guy's mother. That's got to go over well." She frowned. "How'd Angel take the news?"

"He's mad. He's been trying to stop her for awhile, I think," Rory said. "He doused her stuff in holy water a few days ago."

"Wow. That's really creative." Sam was glad Angel was on their side, but still, why hadn't he taken more direct action, if he knew they were such a threat? Not a question to raise with Rory, but she'd definitely ask Parker later. "So, any ideas what you're going to do to make sure this doesn't happen again? You must be getting kind of sick of all the attention."

"Yeah, it's less than fun," Rory said dryly. "I have a stake. I'll be carrying it with me again."

"I have some hand-to-hand self-defense training, if you ever want me to give you some pointers," Sam suggested. "And they work just as well against humans, I promise."

Rory smiled. "I probably ought to learn how to fight a bit. Though vampires have super-strength, you know."

Re: Second period

"That just makes things trickier," Sam said, "but if they're not expecting you to fight, sometimes you can use the element of surprise against them." And if nothing else, at least they'd kill you more quickly, which it sounds like was a more desirable outcome, not that she'd say that to Rory.
