[Fuck,] says Bella, after having burst through the door, masked and armed with her stake, [they're having all their friends over today - help -]
"Sherlock," says Charlie, as Bella makes a valiant effort to swallow, "what are you doing?"
She's gotten a few mouthfuls down.
She can drink no more.
Charlie barks more detailed instructions for the paramedics into the radio.
And, standing up: "If it's all the same to you I'd rather not hang around to distract the paramedics."
But when he takes her pulse there's nothing. He weeps over her until the paramedics arrive, to go through the ritual of rushing her to the hospital and pronouncing her dead.
Charlie's backup escorts Arthur away.
A scant hour later, Bella's body mysteriously disappears.
The safest place to put her, Sherlock decides, is Milliways.
"Mmmmm, hello," says Bella, stretching. "Well. Probably time to find a new place to -" She snickers. "Inhabit. Fucking Watchers would never let me be. Best of luck, new girl," she drawls, raising an imaginary toasting glass.
"Should've broken Shell Bell's arm and apologized after if she felt so bad about it," snorts the new Bella. "Megalomania and no follow-through, bad combination."
"Pfft. No. And do what with it? That was her gig. She wanted to take over the world and keep it as a pet, be sweet to it, cute li'l world she could take for walks and bring to all the Bell parties to be smug about and win the blue ribbon for best in show? Or 'most improved', maybe, what she had to work with. I don't wanna do that. Don't see the point."
"Who says I have one? For one thing wouldn't I need a life, wasn't it you saying we're not alive - But why're we talking so much, that's dull, luv, c'mere."
"That shouldn't stop you. I know you fucked Amariah, hon. I haven't got a little owl for whatever kinky craziness that wound up being, true, but I look right and I want you and the precious li'l megalomaniac isn't coming back. C'mere."
Bella considers this.
Then she shrugs. "Okay then."
And she stops trying to argue, and starts trying to see if that rumor about Slayers becoming the most powerful vampires is true.
This means that when the door opens, Golden gets an eyeful.
"...Is this happy not-me-Bell behavior?" she asks, unbalanced.
