I held her tightly against my body. Listening to her trying to stop her sobbing. I knew she was horribly upset so what she had told me must be true. Still, I could not imagine Angel raping the red head; she was after all Buff- I mean, the slayer's best friend.

He had been acting extremely odd though; he seemed to become angrier and he was never home anymore. Rarely, I saw him, and the last time I did, I made a mistake. I had foolishly asked him what was wrong, and next thing I know, I'm on the ground with Angel kicking me in the face. I never told what's left of the scoobies what happened. I might have but I figured they had been through enough. That was two days ago. Apparently after he beat my brains out he ran into Willow and raped her on the spot. And I didn't do a damn thing to prevent it. At least now I know Angel is truly deranged.

I rocked the wicca back and forth, mentally kicking my ass for not doing anything right. Untill finally her cries ended. "Red… I'm so sorry. But I swear I will never let Angel touch you again"

I said in a gruff voice. I meant it too. I'd die before I'd let someone hurt my Red. Just then I heard the door downstairs open and slam shut. I protectively pulled Willow even closer and began making a quick plan. "Where the fuck is everyone?"

Angel was home.

A/N: well what do you think so far. Remember this is just the beginning the next chapter will be much longer. Please review.
