AN: Hello dwindling Buffy fandom, I wish there were more stories and more readers but I'm glad it's still going after all these years since Buffy's end. I love all your reviews and sorry for taking so long, I've made a resolution to finish all of my started projects so I will continually post this story until it's finished.

Willow's World

When Willow opened her eyes she felt nothing but pain all over her body. She groaned painfully and turned her head to the side. She jumped when she saw Faith lying there next to her and it made her wounds hurt more.

"Ahh!" Willow cried painfully.

Faith shot up with snort. "Wha... Oh, Willow! Are you okay?"

"Ow! Everything hurts!" Willow cried.

"I know," Faith said adjusted Willow more comfortably on the bed, "that Kennedy bitch really did a number on you. Why the Hell did she do it anyways?"

"We got in this huge fight as usual," Willow said. "I really don't know what the Hell happened between us. We fell out of love, or maybe we were never really in love. Ever since Kennedy became a slayer she changed completely. She's been cheating on me and I dared to confront her about it."

"So she cheats on you and you get beat up for it?" Faith said incredulously. "Fuck, I'm glad I beat the fuck out of that bitch."

Willow moved to sit up but laid back down with a painful groan. "You did what?" she said weakly.

"I went to the bar, and fucked her up," Faith said. "And when Buffy stopped the fight asking what the Hell was happening and I told her, she knocked the bitch a good one too."

"Buffy hit her too?" Willow said.

"Why are you so surprised? People care about you Willow. I'm willing to bet that even Spike would fuck her up if he was still around to see it happen."

"I'm not surprised that Buffy did it," Willow said, "I'm surprised you did. I didn't think you cared about me that much."

Faith shrugged. "I just don't like injustice."

"I heard you guys last night," Willow said, "I heard you telling Xander you would defend me with your life, that doesn't sound like fighting against injustice to me."

"Alright, so maybe I care about you, but don't you dare tell anyone."

"I don't have to, I'm sure they already know," Willow said. "My question is why, it's not like we've ever been friends."

"No, I wouldn't say we have, but you were the only one other than Angel who believed in me," Faith said earnestly, "You brought me from L.A to fight the First when no one even considered me. And when Buffy wanted me gone, you fought for me."

"I wouldn't have done that the first time we encountered each other," Willow said, "the truth is I understood you, and I was giving you the benefit of the doubt no one was giving me because of my magical flip out."

"I know you were, but still," Faith said.

"I gotta pee but I can't move," Willow said with a groan.

Faith laughed and said, "no worries I'll help you."

"You're gonna help me pee?" Willow said looking absolutely distressed.

"Relax, you ain't got nothin' I don't," Faith said.

"I don't have an issue with that Faith, I'm a lesbian," Willow said as Faith got out of the bed and walked around to Willow's side, "but I do have an issue with people watching me pee."

"I won't watch you pee I'll just help you get there," Faith said, "now hang on to my neck."

With her slayer strength she carried Willow up into her arms and carried her to the bathroom. Faith didn't even seem to be straining with Willow's weight at all as she maneuvered Willow easily and carefully. She stood her up in front of the toilet then started untying her pajama pants.

"Hey, how did I get into these PJs?" Willow said.

"I changed you into them after you passed out," Faith said, "don't you remember? When you came her I got you into the shower and started cleaning your wounds and then I changed you into some of my PJs. You were in and out of consciousness."

"I do remember some of that, but it's a bit fuzzy," Willow said as Faith pushed down her pants and panties. She blushed as she was exposed to the cold air and Faith. "Okay maybe it's good I don't remember."

Faith chuckled and helped Willow sit on the toilet. "Don't worry Red, after breakfast we'll have a nice healing session with my slayer powers and you'll be back on your feet in no time."

"Definitely would appreciate that," Willow muttered, "now can you please leave I can't really pee like this."

"What are you, a dude?" Faith teased. "Alright, alright, I'm outta here."

Vamp Willow's World

"You sure this is where the Faith girl is?" Angel asked looking out the window of the car.

"I'm positive, I've been snooping around and I saw her performing for this circus," Spike answered.

"Damn," Angel breathed. "We'll never get her out of here."

"We're vampires aren't we? We can get her out of here."

Angel shook his head. "Kakistos' circus is notorious for trapping interesting humans and never letting them go. Kakistos can sense souls and if we walk in there he'll kill us on the spot."

"Damn it," Spike said, "we have to get Faith out of there. She won't be of any use to us if she's trapped."

Angel looked to the backseat at Willow who was tied up in chains. Willow smirked mischievously at them and said, "I won't help you. I serve the Master and only the Master."

"But he doesn't serve you," Angel said, "he used Xander as a sacrifice when the slayer attacked him. Think he wouldn't have used you if you were near him?"

"Besides, vampires shouldn't have a leader," Spike added catching onto Angel's drift, "vampires need to be free to roam."

Willow seemed intrigued but she didn't say a word.

"Think about it Willow," Angel said, "you and Xander were the Master's right hand vamps and you let Buffy get near him enough to almost kill him. What do you think he'll do to you for that?"

Willow gulped.

"He would tear your head off because the Master doesn't care about you," Spike said.

"We served him once before, we know," Angel said.

"You help us take down the Master, and us vampires can be what we're supposed to be," Spike said.

"I've had a good life under the Master, why would I want to change that?" Willow challenged narrowing her eyes.

"Because he killed Xander, your mate!"

"Because he will kill you if he ever sees you again."

"Because you deserve to have a coven of your own without having anyone's permission."

"Because if you don't we will ensoul you and make you serve us," Spike said. "We may not have been able to find the spell in the book but I know who does."

Willow gulped. "I don't want a soul."

"No Willow," Spike said, "I know the Willow with a soul, and trust me, you can't handle one."

Willow sat back and said, "fine, I'll help you."

Angel smiled victoriously and Spike pointed to the book. "Angel find in there the vowing spell. I know from experience that vampires are not to be trusted, heck I couldn't be trusted before I got my soul."

"Oh what, make me vow? Like a guarantee?" Willow scoffed.

"I've heard of the spell," Angel said, "basically you vow to help us 100 percent of the time, and if you should even think about betraying us you will be pulled into the deepest pits of Hell for eternal suffering."

Willow gulped, "there's a spell for that?"

Spike smirked and said, "that's right love, so if you're on our side, you're never gonna be on any other one."

"No, no way! I'm not doing it!" Willow cried.

"Fine, then I'll go find Jenny Calendar right now to ensoul you," Spike said.

Angel smirked, "guess I won't be the only one without sex."

As Spike turned around Willow cried out, "no! No! Wait! Fine, let's do it."

Angel looked down at the book and said, "Spirits of light and spirits of dark, a promise is a promise in the eyes of all gods."

Spike grabbed the book as Angel handed it to him. "Spirits around, we bond together now, we give up our lives for this one sacred vow."

"Now read the last sentence when I tell you," Angel said.

Willow nodded and grabbed the book.

"Willow, do you vow to join our side and do whatever we bid of you?" Spike said.

Angel pointed and Willow recited, "I vow my incarnate body."

"Do you vow to fight and die alongside us until our mission is complete?" Spike said.

Angel pointed. "I vow my incarnate body."

Spike nodded and Angel took the book back. "Here ties the sacred vow, which can never be broken in anyway now. Spirits of light and spirits of dark, the promise is made or Hell she'll face."

A crack of thunder rumbled in the sky and a bright light exploded in the car. It hit Willow straight in the chest and nearly knocked the air out of her.

"What the Hell was that?" Willow cried,

"The vow was made," Angel said.

"Now," Spike said with a smirk, "you're on our side."
