Chapter 10
"Willow will you stop for a bit?" Xander asked. Willow had been running the gang ragged for three days now.
Willow snapped for the fifth time that day, "Xander, this is the fifth time we have followed this stupid locator spell, and you should know this is getting quite crappy okay. Good so just shut up and follow it!"
Xander knew better than to snap back, and just held back so he could hug Anya.
The light led them to another different place tonight as it had every other night.
Willow opened the door quickly and stepped inside.
Then Xander and Anya heard Willow cry out, as if in pain. They ran inside the building raising their weapons.
They lowered them seeing Willow kneeling in front of a bleeding Buffy, who was bound to a chair.
"Buffy?" Willow whimpered almost like she thought this was a dream.
She reached out to Buffy and cupped the blond's cheek.
Willow suddenly growled and said, "If this was Spike so help me god we will need a dust pan next time we find him."
Buffy's eyes opened revealing the hazel eyes Willow hadn't seen for a while, "W-Willow?"
"Buffy... I'm here."
Willow hugged Buffy and started to untie the bonds when Buffy spoke up, "It wasn't Spike."
Willow almost stopped untying her in shock, 'Not Spike then who?'
Xander and Anya rushed back in with a first aid kit they had brought with them.
As soon as Willow finished with her bond's Buffy slumped forward into Willow's waiting arms.
They made it home letting Buffy rest the whole way.
As soon as they got Buffy back up in her own bed, and Willow cleaned her wounds (again) they called Giles.
Another fifteen minutes later Giles stormed through the door.
"Where's Dawn?" he asked in fear for her safety.
Xander saw the english man start to panic so he said, "Giles don't worry she is over at Janice's. okay?"
Giles visibly calmed down at that. He sat down, started to clean his glasses, and asked what had happened.
They explained as much as they knew, the rest would have to wait until Buffy woke up.
Giles accepted this , and went upstairs to get some sheets for the couch.
Anya, and Xander also decided to stay and pulled a cot down into the basement.
Willow made her way upstairs, and was going to go into her room when she heard a small whimper coming from Buffy's room.
She reached for the doorknob and twisted it slowly trying not to disturb Buffy's sleep.
When she got in she saw Buffy thrashing around on her bed muttering something about not touching her Willow.
Willow ran up to the bed and cradled Buffy's body in her arms rocking gently back and forth.
"Willow you're alive," Buffy stated opening her eyes, and seeing Willow.
She broke down into tears like a little child.
Once Willow thought Buffy was asleep she slipped away, and made for the door.
"Stay, for me. Please?" Buffy asked not opening her eyes but letting one tear slip through.
Willow smiled sadly and slipped back into the bed.
Buffy smiled finally letting herself be completely peaceful for the first time in her life.
She rested her head on Willow's chest, and let herself go to sleep listening to Willow's heartbeat.
A/N: There finally a little R&R for these two. Hope you liked it. I will update as soon as I can. Remember to review.
