Willow Cautiously peered around the corner, stake at hand searching for a hint of movement in the shadows. She couldn't sense anything and relaxed a bit. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her neck and choked her. Impulsively she grabbed the arm and flipped them to the ground. She then knelt down and held the stake to her chest.
"Well done Willow!" Giles said from the corner. She blushed.
"Thanks Giles," She looked down. "You okay Buff?"
"Peachy with a side of keen." Buffy said smiling while accepting her friends hand and pulling herself up off the ground.
"Willow a small tip. Although you have improved greatly, I must remind you that had that been a real vampire, you'd be dead."
"Giles, I did fine." Willow said
"Yeah for a dead person." She glared at him. "Willow with Angelus and Spike on the loose…"
"Don't forget that crazy ho Drusilla." Buffy added.
"Thank you Buffy." He said irritably as though she had said something unimportant. "Anyways, Angelus is known to go after the friends and family of his objects of obsession and Spike likes to torture young innocent girls such as yourself and then turn them. They both know how much blood it takes to drain a girl to keep her alive just so she can hear their screams. If for some reason they do take you I don't want you to go down with out a fight."
"You don't think I can do it!" Willow said defensively.
"No I didn't say that…"
"Well too bad Mr.…watcher guy, I'm going to prove wrongness to you." Willow turned on her heal and stormed off scooping up her backpack and books on her way out.
"Willow!" Giles called but Buffy stopped him.
"Just…let her go" Giles sighed and cleaned his glasses.
Angelus awoke as the last rays of sun disappeared, a smirk on his face. He strode out of the room remembering his dream about Willow. He chuckled to himself. "Stupid lover," He paused and thought of Willow all alone at night. She would run into Spike and then him. The little red head would be helpless and his. "You let poor little Willow out into the night alone when you knew that I was loose. Oh well," He said while putting on his jacket. "That's your loss, and my incredible gain."
