Chapter 1

Dawn, Lillie, Buffy were all out seeing the scenes of Rome in the day. They were walking down the main street in Rome when all of a sudden while walking through an alley way there was an ambush and 10 vampires came out of no where and started attacking them with full force. They were all terrified because vampires don't just stroll out into the sunlight. One grabbed Lillie behind the back and disappeared, quite frankly they all disappeared. Buffy and Dawn were horrified they didn't know where she was or what happened to her. Buffy rushed home as fast as she could and called Angel, Giles and Willow also Xander to come and help them find her.

When Angel got there Buffy ran to him threw her arms around his neck and told him that they had to find her some way or some how.

Buffy "They just took her and disappeared into thin air" Giles was staring at her quizzically saying that vampires can't disappear unless a magical being could do that to them by giving them specific powers.

Angel went back to LA and tried to figure out anything that he could. He dug up some research with Fred, Wesley and Gunn's help and found out that a man named Marcus might know where she is.

Angel and Gunn went down to his mansion to go get her back. When they entered the mansion they could hear moaning and then someone screaming at the top of there lungs. Angel burst in through the door at the end of the hall and there was a girl sprung on the floor naked in pain crying. When Angel saw that it was Lillie he ran to her and started punching at Vail when he just laughed and disappeared. Lillie was crying on the floor.

They got back with worried looks on there faces when they saw that her body was mangled and covered in bruises. Fred rushed to her sister's side and brought her upstairs to change her clothes. When Lillie had fallen asleep, Fred came down to talk to Angel about what she could do for her sister. Angel walked slowly to the phone and dialed Buffy's number.

"Buffy?"

"Angel?" "What happened?"

"We found Lillie and she's hurt really badly."

"What, how is she? Did he hurt her?"

"She's bruised up pretty bad, the guy who did this to her is really powerful in the magiks."

"Oh, my God! Do you want me to come over?"

"No, we're going to try and solve this but when she wakes up I'll call you ok!"

"Yah. Bye"

"Bye"

Angel hung up the phone and just stared at Fred, Wesley, and Gunn.

"I don't know what we're going to do about this bastard but we're going to make him pay for what he has done to Lillie." They all agreed in unison.

The next day Lillie had not waked yet so Angel went to his office with Wesley to file some papers and also to figure out where Vail had gone. When suddenly Harmony knocked on his door saying that there was an envelope for him that had no address, so she gave it to Angel and went to her office. When Angel opened the envelope the pendent that he gave Buffy fell on the floor and suddenly a light came from it a Spike appeared. Spike leaped for Angel and went right through him.

"Bugger!"

"Brilliant" said Wesley.

"Spike, what the hell are you doing here!"

"Where's Buffy, Lillie are they okay where are they are they hurt?"

"Buffy's fine, she's in Rome" said Angel abruptly.

"What about Lillie" said Spike worryingly."

"Lillie... well"

"Angel where is she!" demanded Spike.

"She's been through a lot and I don't want you to upset her she's still unconscious."

"Unconscious?" said Spike quizzically.

"Yah, well..." In came Fred.

"Hey, Fred!" said Angel.

"Angel, who is that?" asked Fred.

"Spike, he wants to know what happened to Lillie" said Angel.

"Oh, well" said Fred.

"Will, somebody tell me what the bloody hell is going on!" Spike said awkwardly.

"Where is she?"

"Spike she was kidnapped by a guy called Vail he's a really powerful warlock and he has a lot of vamp friends. He planned an ambush on Lillie, Buffy, and Dawn. One vamp took Lillie and they magically disappeared. We found Lily last night in his bedroom bruised, beaten and naked. She's been missing for 16 days so we really don't know what he's done to her." said Angel.

"I never wanted this for her, because I love her. Why would this guy do such a thing to her?" said Spike.

"I don't know but he's been watching her for about three month's now." said Angel.

"What was his name again?" Spike asked

"Vail, why?"

"That's the guy that killed Brooklyn and Cedric. He raped Lillie before too, wait he liked someone else too" Spike said sternly.

"When we got there the room was covered in pictures of her and Dawn."

"Why didn't he take Dawn then?" said Spike.

"He told me that his affection only lied with Lillie and that he would do anything in his power to have her."

Spike saw that there was a brunette that looked very similar to Lillie.

Spike asked Fred who she was and Fred immediately said that she was Lillie's older sister. Spike smiled because he could see that the brunette was eyeing him affectionately, so he gave her his most affectionate smile. Wesley was noticing this so he pulled Fred away and as he did this Fred waved at Spike.

Later on at 9:30 pm Fred, Wesley, Angel, Lorne, and Gunn were all downstairs trying to figure out why spike was incorporeal. When all of sudden they saw someone walking through the hallway very quietly. Angel went in the hallway with Gunn walking behind him when they saw it was Lillie. Angel showed where everyone was and she stayed away from everyone else at the far corner of the lab. Angel motioned to get closer to her when she began to walk away and cry. Fred stepped in front of Angel warning him to give Lillie some space.

"Lillie sweetheart are you alright," said Fred affectionately to her younger sister.

A worried expression came over her face when she saw Spike.

"Lillie, what is it?" said Fred.

Lillie ran over to Spike and went to hug him but she ended up going right through him. She fell on the floor and stared up into his eyes and began to cry.

"Lillie, I wish I could hold you but I'm incorporeal. It's not fair is it, that I'm here but I can't touch you or feel you." Spike stroked her cheek.

"Spike, you have no idea what he did to me or what the vampires did to me they... they..."

"Lillie look at me everything will be all right I'm here," said Spike.

"I just need to be held, but guess what that's not going to happen is it" said Lillie deeply in tears.

"Oh, Lillie don't cry we'll through this, you just have to tell us what happen and why he did this to you." said Angel.

"Angel, I'm not ready to tell you guys yet, I'm sorry I tried to get away from you before, I was scared. But I am hungry." said Lillie.

Lillie walked with Angel to the kitchen where he got her a cup of soup.

"Angel can I use your phone? I want to talk to Buffy, if it's okay with you."

"Yeah sure. No problem."

Lillie slowly walked over and dialed Buffy's number. Dawn ended up picking up the phone.

"Lillie?" said Dawn holding back tears.

"Dawnie, is it you?" "I've missed you so much!"

"Do you want to speak to Buffy?"

"Yeah, is she there?"

"Yeah, she's been pacing around the room every day; I've been looking on research to find info on the bastard who took you"

"Thank you, Dawnie, I appreciate it!"

"Here's Buffy, Bye, I'll talk to you soon!" said Dawn.

"Bye, Dawnie!"

"Lillie?" said Buffy

"Buffy?" said Lillie breaking down in tears.

"Are you okay, what did he do to you, how are you feeling?"

"Buffy... Buffy I'm fine, scared and worried because I know he knows where I am and everything, but I'm not ready to tell anyone what he did to me yet." said Lillie.

"I'm sorry; I've just missed you a lot. I know you're tired so I'm going to go now. I'm just glad that you're safe and sound. Bye sweetie."

Lillie hung up the phone and told the gang that she was hit the hay, but that she wanted someone to stay with her so she could go to sleep. Lillie walked into her room and there lying on the bed was Marcus, who had been waiting for her smelling her perfume and clothes.

"Marcus what are you doing here, get out!"

"Oh, Lillie, tsk, tsk you know me better than that."

"Get out!"

"Dcomitum!"

Lillie was then thrown on to the bed and strapped to the arm rests. He then yelled and started slapping her across the face. Lillie began to scream as he began touching her.

"Aahhh! Let go! PLEASE!" said Lillie.

"Oh come on Lillie I know you love me, I love you, I have pictures of you all over my walls and I just hope each night that some day you'll be mine."

"Your sick!" she then spat in his face and she started screaming, he then ripped open her shirt and started kissing her all over. Angel heard her and they all came running up the stairs to her rescue.

Angel then barged through the door and came running to Lillie's defense, he then threw Marcus across the room, but he then laughed and disappeared. Angel ran to Lillie who was crying fiercely.

"Angel, he...he..."

Angel hugged Lillie who began crying worse than before.

"I thought I would be safe. Just for a moment if I was here with you guys but I was wrong." she began crying deeply into Angel's chest. Spike went right beside her to see if she was alright but she wasn't.

"Lillie luv you'll be fine we'll watch over you." Spike said.

"Angel can you stay with me please!" said Lillie. Spike looked hurt and wanted to stay with her.

"I will Lillie, don't worry he wont hurt you again." said Angel holding her.

Everyone left except Angel, he was about to sleep on the rocking chair when Lillie grabbed his arm and stared at him.

"Angel can you just hold me, please?" Angel hesitated but then thought what harm could be done, so he curled up beside her as she placed her head on his chest. She stared at him and him at her, they could see into each others hearts and desires. Angel gently touched Lillie's cheek where tears were still falling; his hand was so cool on her skin she shuddered at his touch. He then grabbed her gently and kissed her on the lips. They broke away from the kiss and Lillie just stared at him.

"Lillie, I'm sorry." Said Angel sympathetically.

"It's alright; I was just startled that's all, but it was nice."

"No, I shouldn't have done that, it was wrong of me."

Lillie then cuddled onto his chest, Angel stared at her and she gave the gaze back to him. She scooped his face into her hands and just stared at him she kissed him on the mouth and fingertips. He kissed her again but then she told him something surprising.

"Angel?"

"Yeah?"

"I can't be with you; I'm in love with... Spike"

"What, you can't be its Spike."

"He's the only one that has ever understood me, Dawnie always did but not the way he does, I'm angry with him though, because of the way he acted to me when I lost Brooklyn he didn't care at all or even when I lost Cedric. He just cared about Buffy and that's all that mattered. I might as well be dead. He doesn't care for me and he never has. I'm going to make a call."

"He was so hurt when you told me stay here with you; I could see it in his eyes."

"Wait to Who?" said Angel surprisingly.

"Donetella Versachie" said Lillie meekly.

"Yeah right, if you get her on the phone I swear I'll be nicer to Spike."

"If I cant I'll forget about Spike and I'll date you!"

"I like that idea!"

Lillie then grabbed the phone and dialed her number then Donetella picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mrs. Versachie?"

"Lillie, oh it's so good to hear from you again what do you need?"

"Well, I "m wondering if that job offer is in good use still because I'm living in LA now so I was just wondering."

"Yes, yes can you start on Monday?"

"Yeah, thank you!" she said happily.

Angel stared at her in amazement.

"Lillie you...you."

"Got a job as an artist for Donetella Versachie, yep, I start Monday."

"Congratulations!" he said in astonishment.

They both walked down the stairs together hand in hand smiling at each other when they saw Spike and Fred together in the kitchen talking. Lillie quickly let go of Angels hand.

"Hey Lillie," Fred said meekly.

"Guess what!"

"What!"

"I'm a fashion designer for Versachie!"

"No, really, OH my GOD your serious!"

"Congratulations sweet heart."

"Thanks sis!"

Angel tightened his hand around Lillie's that it made her look at him in complete happiness. She said that she didn't like him in that way but he kept persisting by then grabbing her waist and then stroking her arm as the conversation kept going on it started to make her really uncomfortable. Spike noticed how uncomfortable she was with Angel touching her so he asked Lillie to talk to him for a moment.

"Yeah, Spike?"

"Are you and Angel dating or somfing?"

"No, I don't know why he was grabbing my waist and stroking my arm but I don't like him in that way. I told him after he kissed me upstairs that I just wanted to be friends but I guess he doesn't feel that way."

"I saw how uncomfortable you were so that's why I asked you to come with me out here."

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

"Lillie I am glad you're safe, although I couldn't save you I tried to so I could save you from him like I did before."

"You know Lillie I care for you a lot and when Brookie died I didn't know how I could ease your pain so I avoided you and tried to give you some space like Xander told me too and then when Cedric died I tried to be out of your space as much as possible." Lillie began to cry.

"Lillie what is it?" he asked concerned.

"Spike, I needed you more than I needed anyone in my whole life, and anyways since when do you listen to Xander?" said Lillie in tears.

"Lillie I didn't know that"

"Do you want to know how alone I felt when that happened and how alone I felt when Buffy was kicked out of the house and I followed her because she stood bye me through everything but not through there deaths, everyone stood bye her and no one stood bye me, it was all about Buffy and how alone she felt because she was the slayer, but guess what she wasn't the only one."

"Lillie"

"spike and do want to know the hardest thing of it all was it was when me and Buffy were alone in the room crying and you came in and Buffy whispered in my ear for me to go to another room because she didn't want me to hear fighting but I knew very well that there would be no fighting but laughter and mourning."

"I didn't know luv"

Lillie then saw that Spike was crying and she knew that he had no idea that she had felt that way; he then turned away from her. She grabbed his face (well she couldn't really because he's incorporeal but still).

"Spike, I...I love you, you have no idea how much, I've tried to fight my feelings for you but I cant" she said crying.

"Lillie you know my heart always will belong to Buffy." Said Spike looking at the crying girl in front of him. When Spike said this Lillie ran out the door still crying.

Spike ran in the kitchen where Angel and Fred were and he told them what happened. They all went searching for her, but Angel knew that Marcus could have gotten to her so they went to his house. The butler then answered the door and said that they weren't welcomed here at the moment so they knew that Lillie was there. They then barged through the door and could hear crying behind the curtain where Angel had found Lillie before.

"So she really said that I was making her uncomfortable."

"Yeah, mate but at least you didn't cry in front of her."

"You cried in front of her(Laugh) you forgot to mention that." said Angel

They then opened the curtain and saw Lillie beaten and bruised in the corner Angel rushed to her but spike beat him there.

"Lillie, pet are you alright."

"He... he knew that I was going to run away he knew it, he beat me up because Spike I told you that I love you, he was just waiting for the right moment."

"Ah so this is the Spike you speak so highly of he doesn't look like much."

"I'm bloody sexy, mate!"

"Yeah right." "But you know who's really sexy, Lillie she has all of these beautiful little noises when she's in pain, I love it."

"Marcus If you love me wont you let me go." Said Lillie

"I do Lillie with all of my heart but I want you with me forever."

"But Marcus I could never love you after all of the things you have taken away from me."

"Like Brooklyn and Cedric right, Lillie there deaths were painless especially Brooklyn, I placed a pillow and..." Said Marcus. Lillie began to cry after hearing there names said by the evil murderer.

"You bloody bastard, you have no right to say that in front of her!" After Spike said that to Marcus, Marcus said a spell that made him corporeal, Marcus wasn't expecting this outcome. Spike went strait to Lillie and kissed her passionately on the mouth.

"Spike, I love you!" said Lillie through tears and Spike not letting her go.

"Lillie, I love you to pet!" she stared into his eyes and they began to kiss as she could feel his strong arms surrounding her. They both were crying and holding each other while Angel was fighting Marcus.

"No, this cant be happening Lillie you belong with me!" said Marcus angrily.

Lillie made her way up with Spike's help and walked strait up to Marcus.

"I never belonged to you and I never will your hopeless and a pathetic use of a human being." Lily then grabbed a sword that was hanging on the mantle piece and dug it right into him. Spike kissed her deeply because he knew that after she took out the sword he would be incorporeal again. Lillie then let go of the sword and Spike became incorporeal again. Angel motioned toward Lillie and hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. Lillie then walked with Angel and Spike slowly following behind.

"Lillie are you all right" Spike said affectionately starring at his brunette beauty.

"I'm fine just a little overwhelmed and confused because of all that happened in such a short period of time." she replied.

"Lillie you were amazing in there, I've never seen you look so brave before."

"Thanks, I think"

"I think the best part was when I was able to hold Spike."

"I agree but the kissing was really good to luv." Said spike.

Lillie just smiled at her blond boyfriend.

"Spike it's just not fair that you couldn't be corporeal again." Lillie said sadly.

"I know pet, but I guess it wasn't meant to happen, yet." He said smirking.

Spike slowly began to disappear and then vanished. Lillie was crying at this point and didn't know where he went. When Angel and Lillie got home Spike was there waiting for them.

"Sorry luv happens a little bit here or there didn't want to make you worry pet."

"You scared me that's all, I never saw you do that before."

"It feels good to have someone worry about you once and a while." He said starring at Lillie.

"I'm just glad Lillie that you're alright," said Angel admirably.

Lillie smiled at the dark vampire and at her blond boyfriend beside her.

When Lillie came home Fred was waiting worryingly with Gunn and Wesley. They all went to her to see if she was alright.

"Guys I'm alright I should've known that he would find me, it was stupid of me to run away because of... well" Lillie trailed off.

"Lillie because of what?" said Gunn quizzically.

"Um...Um nothing" said Lillie shyly looking at Spike.

"I'm really tired so we think were going to bed!" said Lillie meekly.

"We?" said Angel.

"You mean me and you?" said Angel.

"Oh no Angel me and Spike."

"You and..." said Angel angrily.

"Yeah that's right mate me and Lillie, see you in the morning" Spike said with a broad smile on his face.

"Yeah good night everyone." Said Lillie with a twinkle in her eye.

The next few weeks Spike and Lillie were inseparable they went everywhere together. But on the Monday morning when her job was supposed to start she became quite nervous.

"Spike, does this dress look to casual or does it show too much skin." It was a strapless black and yellow dress that at the bottom it flared to show her silky legs. Spike stared at his brunette beauty and saw how nervous she was, he wanted to hold her but he knew he couldn't.

"Lillie luv you look beautiful and don't worry you'll do just fine." He then went behind her and she turned around and just studied his face and he hers.

"You're a mystery you know that luv." He smiled at her with admiration. She turned around and placed on her dress and got a black leather coat to cover herself and left for work. Spike went to Angel's office and Harmony walked in with an envelope for Spike, he opened it and a bright light appeared from it and Spike ran in to Angel, poked and noticed that he wasn't incorporeal anymore. He then grabbed Angel's blood and took a sip.

"Is this otters blood, oh you big bloody softy." Said Spike smirking at Angel.

"What's going on here why are all the phones ringing why aren't incorporeal?" said Angel quizzically.

"I don't bloody know I was in the office when Harm brought me an envelope that was for me so I opened it and a bright light came out and I became corporeal again, then that's when all of the phones started ringing."

"We have to figure this out." Said Angel followed by Spike. They both headed strait for the main office where Fred, Harmony, Gunn, and Wesley were all waiting for them in the office. Angel was angry because Lillie thought that Spike cared for her as much as he does but he's in love with Buffy and always would be.
