None of these characters are mine…obviously

This is a spillow story so if you don't like spillow don't read it.

AN: This idea came to me in the shower and I just wrote it so let's see how it goes. Spike got his soul, but also got his chip removed. After he came back he gave up on Buffy, and realized that he never loved her. Spike still is a part of the Scooby gang much to Xander's dismay, but Buffy wants him there to help her protect Dawn. Willow came back and has magic controlled now, but can't do very powerful spells yet. Giles is back too.

The Spell

Willow woke up next to Spike. She and Spike had been having what she thought of as a relationship for about three months. She hated keeping it from the others, but they wouldn't understand. She hated this. She felt like Buffy, when Buffy went all psycho and was sleeping with Spike. He was the only one that understood. He was the only one that had brutally killed before. She could talk to him. He wouldn't judge like the others. The whole Scooby gang had tried, put on fake smiles and tried to make her feel better, but she could see through them. Goddess, even Giles was uneasy around her like she would filet him any minute. She loved them, but she couldn't figure out how to get them to trust her, let alone trust herself. Damn, she was so depressed and couldn't get a hold of things. Spike had been lost too because of the soul. They had leaned on each other.

Spike stirred and pulled Willow out of her busy thoughts.

"Okay Pet?"

"Yeah", Willow said meekly.

Spike wasn't convinced. "Red, why are you so hung up 'bout these damn scoobies?"

"Because they're my friends, Spike, and they don't trust me." She shot him a cold glare.

"Takes time red."

Willow rolled away from him and clutched on the covers.

"Ah Willow don't get angry with me…I'm just tellin the truth."

"Whatever."

"Bet I can get you to laugh, Red."

"You wish."

"Is that a challenge pet?"

"Yup"

Spike slid his arms around her and she jumped a little from his cold touch. He put his hands on her stomach and started to tickle her. Willow started laughing screaming at him to stop with whatever breath she was left with. Spike stopped and said, "I win."

"But, you cheated."

"I'm evil remember."

"Right." Willow rolled her eyes and went back to sleep.

Amy ran for her life. The three vampires behind her snickered when she came to the end of the dark alley way. She was so scared and drained from using magick earlier that day that she couldn't defend herself. The vampires approached, the moonlight glinting on their fangs. Then they lunged forward and drank her.

Michael screamed. He knew Amy was dead. He could feel it, and the tears started falling. He wiped his tears away hastily. He needed to be strong. He needed answers now. He walked outside and got in his car and drove.

Willow walked to the Magic Shop. When she walked in as usual everyone was preoccupied with something. She said "hey" and everyone replied. She sat down and started flipping through a random book looking for information on the new demon.
