**: Are Willow's thoughts

~~~~

Willow quickly walked up the steps to The Sunnydale High School. Willow glanced over her shoulder because she thought that someone had called her name. This ended up to be a big mistake because she didn't see a figure dressed in black run out of the school with something hugged tightly to his body. Just as Willow turned back the man ran right into her knocking her down a couple of steps.

"Oh my god Willow are you ok?"

"Michael? What are you doing here?" Willow asked as he quickly helped her to her feet. Michael looked back at the doors to the school and then said, "I can't talk now I have to go." And with that he was off running, little realizing that he had dropped one of the items that he was so carefully trying to get out of there with.

Willow watched him take off, running as fast as he could. 'Wonder what he was up to. He hasn't been very well since the witch trial brought on by that demon.'

Just then Willow saw a small old book, she bent down to pick it up and then she walked inside.

~~The Library~~

Willow opened the doors of the library to hear Buffy say, "What did he take?"

"What did who take?" Willow asked. Buffy and Giles looked at her and Buffy looked down as Giles was looking for the right words to say.

"Ahh yes, well, you see... what is that in your hands?"

Willow looked at the book in her hands and said, "I don't know it was out side, Michael must have dropped it."

"Michael? You should have stopped him, that no good thief! Evil witch he is!" Buffy said and then looking at Willow regretted her words.

Willow looked at the book in her hands again and then read the title, which was in Latin translating into "Dark Spells and Rituals". 'Why would Michael want to do a dark spell? And how dark? Is he really that far into witchcraft?' Willow's thoughts were interrupted by Giles saying something about having to find Michael before something bad happened.

"Oh I'll go do that." Buffy said with a happy smile on her face.

"Umm... no Buffy I think that Willow should go and talk to him, because she will probably understand him better. They were both friends of Amy."

Willow agreed and then left before they could tell her anything else.
