Chapter 4

The following night Angel, Spike and Cordelia pulled up to Giles's place. They walked slowly to the door. Spike knocked and a couple seconds later Xander answered.

"Spike," Xander smiled.

"Hi luv," Spike kissed him.

"Come on in." Xander said moving away from the door.

The three walked into the ex-watchers home.

"Spike, Angel, Cordelia." Buffy greeted.

"Buffy, Giles." Angel nodded.

"Uh we just need to wait for Willow to arrive." Giles said. He was nervous about the whole thing.

The door opened and the redhead walked in. "Hey guys ready to patrol?" Willow then saw the new faces, and her heart hurt. "What… what are you doing here?" *they can't be here.*

"Xander told Spike about the new demon you guys need help with." Cordy answered refusing to look at her.

"What new demon? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come sooner." Willow replied.

"What you're not interested in other peoples lives anymore? The thing almost killed Giles." Cordelia said coldly.

"What?!" Willow asked running over to Giles, "Are you alright?"

"Yes." Giles said and took off his glasses to clean them, "I'm afraid I don't know anything about a demon almost killing me." He looked at Spike and Xander.

"Spike," Xander hissed.

"Sorry pet had to get them here didn't I?" Spike said.

"What's going on?" Angel demanded.

"We made up the story so you guys would come." Xander admitted.

"Xander you had no right." Willow said angrily.

"Willow, I know that something is going on just tell us." Xander pleaded.

"There's nothing to tell. Please just leave it," Willow begged.

"Willow you need to tell us." Buffy said.

"Why are you guys doing this?" Willow asked.

"Willow you are not happy." Giles replied.

"I…I am happy." Willow disagreed.

"No, Red you're not." Spike said.

"How would you know? I haven't talked to you since I left L.A." Willow said, "I'm leaving," And she ran out the door.

"Little tree you've been a bad little girl." Dru sang.

"Dru." Willow breathed and stopped.

"You were supposed to stay away from Daddy." Dru said.

"I… I did, he came here." Willow stammered.

"Doesn't matter you broke our deal." Dru said coming out of the shadows with Amy.

"Amy." Willow whispered, "Please don't."

"You know our deal." Dru said then sank her fangs into Amy's neck.

"No!" Willow screamed as Dru dropped Amy's body.

"Stay away from my daddy. I'll know when you're been with him." Dru said then disappeared into the shadows.

Willow dropped to her knees holding Amy's body. "I'm sorry Amy. I'm so sorry."

"Willow?" Buffy asked.

"Go away." Willow said.

"Oh my God, Amy," Buffy said.

"Buffy go away." Willow said looking at her friend.

"Willow, who did this?" Buffy asked.

"I… I don't know." Willow lied.

"We have to tell the others." Buffy said.

"No!" Willow yelled. She knew Angel would still be there.

"Why not?" Buffy asked confused.

"I just can't." Willow said and walked away.

Buffy picked up Amy's body and headed back to Giles's tears in her eyes. She knocked on the door. Giles opened it a minute later.

"Amy?" Giles asked as he stepped aside to let the slayer in.

"She's dead, I found Willow with her." Buffy said laying the body carefully on the couch.

"Where's Willow?" Xander asked worriedly.

"She wouldn't come with me." Buffy answered.

"Did she say who?" Cordelia asked.

"She said she didn't know." Buffy replied.

"Dru." Spike growled.

"What?" Giles asked.

"It was Dru I smell her." Spike said.

"I thought Dru was in Brazil or something." Xander replied.

"She must be back, but why?" Angel asked.

"Do you think Willow knew?" Buffy asked.

"I don't know. Why else wouldn't she come back here?" Cordy asked.

"Willow would have told us." Xander argued.

"Xander, Willow has been hiding something from us." Buffy said.

"No, she would have told us if Dru was back." Xander stated.

"Would she have?" Cordelia asked.

"Yes!" Xander said, "If she knew Dru was here why wouldn't she tell us?"

"I don't know Xander." Giles said. "But she has been acting very strange lately."
