Chapter 10
***Buffy***
I throw the girl at Giles as he advances on me, and start to run after Willow. I can see her ahead her hair bobbing in the wind as she runs back home. I notice the vamp running straight at her. She doesn't.
It slams into Willow sending her to the ground. Her head hits the ground with a sickening thud. My body moves in slow motion. I see her head hit, and then the blood creating a small pool under Willow's head. The vampire looks down at her with an expression of victory.
He never noticed me before I slammed into him. Sending his back straight into the brick wall behind him cracking it. I pull him up onto his feet, and punch him in the face for a minute before remembering Willow. I pull a stake out, and dust him quickly.
I run back over to Willow, and bring her head into my lap. I can smell her blood all around me. This is the one thing I hate. Every time I am around human blood my little demon makes an appearance.
{Come on just a taste. We haven't had food in so long.}
'So,' I challenge back pulling Willow up into my arms, and starting to walk towards the hospital.
{Oh come on. The last time we had a drink of blood was three days ago. Geeze we do this every time. You starve yourself until we have to drink just so that you can not think about being a vampire for a while.}
I say nothing back since he is right. I can feel the hunger pangs in my stomach growing. I let them. Right now Willow is more important than my hunger.
I am in the shadows of Willow's room right now. The sun came up about an hour ago, and I was just able to slip into Willow's room before they closed the door.
They said no one else was allowed to visit right now because Willow wouldn't be waking up for another couple hours. She had twelve stitches in her head right above the left ear.
I picked up a little trick in China. I am able to pretty much cloak myself in shadows. Something about because I have a demon or something I am part of the shadows. It is mostly magic, but he said any demon can learn it. I don't really remember the guy who taught me was kinda weird.
The door opens suddenly, and the blonde I had seen her with pops in, "Willow," she mutters going up to her, and stroking the hair out of her eyes. I have to suppress a growl seeing her touch my Willow. I switch into vamp face when I see her give Willow a kiss on the head. I bite my bottom lip. Sinking the fangs into my lip so that I would not be heard.
{Come on you know you want to kill her. Hurt her. For touching your Willow. Kill hunt.}
"Will you shut the hell up!" I say not aware that I had said it aloud. The blonde. whirls at me.
"W-Why are you here?" she asks blocking my view of Willow. The demon continues to whisper to me. Telling me all I have to do is snap her neck, and take Willow, and she will be ours forever.
I block my ears with my hands trying to block out the voice. I should have known it was impossible it was in my head always, "No, no, no. NO! STOP IT!" I yell trying to get it to stop telling me these things, and showing me these images of Willow as a vamp.
I back off as the blonde try's to get get closer. I feel the wall behind me, and slide down it. I close my eyes trying to block out the images, but still I am bombarded with them, "Faith!" I hear her yell. I take a fleeting glance at the door, and see Faith bursting through. I jump out, and pull a mattress off of one of the empty beds, and use it to shield me from the sun as I break the glass, and jump out the window.
Landing on my feet I pull the mattress over my head, and run trying to reach a place so others will be safe from me.
***Willow***
I open my eyes, but quickly close them when my head explodes from the light, "Hello?" I say trying to find out if anyone was in here with me.
"Willow. Oh god we have been so worried," Tara said. I felt her hand squeezing mine, but quickly letting it go.
I frown at the loss of contact, and wonder why, "Hey Tara. What's up?"
"Oh you hit your head. Ummm... Buffy came in, and then jumped out. Also Giles explained to me about Buffy, and the spell you used to give her soul back. What you are to her, and what she is to you."
"Buffy was here?"
"Ya she jumped out when she saw me come... W-well touched you, and y-you know."
"Oh," I lower my head almost laughing at what Buffy must have thought. Until I really thought about it, "Oh did she go all grrr... Oh! Wait does Giles know if she has her soul."
"Oh! He researched the s-spell, and f-found it was permanent."
"Huh. Then was she really telling the truth?"
"As far as G-Giles can tell yes."
I push myself up, and start to walk finding some of my clothes that Giles had left, or someone else, "So you know me, and her are..."
"Ya, and b-believe me I won't c-come between that."
"Okay. I need to find Buffy. Like right now."
"The doctors gave you the okay s-so it's not like I-I can stop you," and with that I was gone after having changed of course.
I look down at the map again. There is a small yellow dot on it moving north in the forest. I had took a piece of hair from Buffy's brush, and used it to specify the spell.
I pull Faith's arm dragging her after me, "Come on Faith. I need your help," I say trying to pull the protesting slayer along.
It takes a minute, but I get Faith to come with me. We move closer to the dot. It seems to be staying in one place, but having a lot of small movements. As we get with fifty yards of the dot we hear the sounds of a battle. Faith grins at me, "Now this is what I am good at," she says as we both break into the clearing.
A/N: There another chapter. I may start to slow down on this one as I update some of my other one's so don't worry. Hope you liked it.
