A Place To Hide

Raven banged on her bedroom door, "Come on Willow you have to let me out" she yelled through the wood.

"No" Buffy yelled up the stairs, "don't let your guard down one bit. She might be strong enough to break out of your charm." Buffy finished telling Willow.

Willow nodded her head but her face was filled with worry, she had no idea what went down last night.

"Hey slayer" Spike grinned out on the ground.

"Buffy do you mind, he wasn't hurting me" Raven said.

"How do I know that, Rae Spike is a dangerous vampire. How can you be with him with your guard down?" Buffy asked.

"I would ask you the same question if you were still with my brother" Raven said crossing her arms.

"Angel is different, he has a soul" Buffy answered.

"Wow, wait, Angel is your brother Raven?" Spike asked.

Raven nodded her head, and a little sadness poured onto her face.

"Hmm, makes you even more forbidden" Spike finished with a grin.

Raven's face lit up, and then Buffy slapped Spike,

"Gross" she stated as she gripped tighter at the stake that was still above Spike's heart.

"He only you wants you for lust, Rae. Can't you see he's a dangerous Vampire out for your blood when you least expect it?" Buffy said.

Raven shook her head and grinned, "I like a little danger" she answered.

Spike grinned back at her.

Buffy had to cough to stop herself from gagging. ~ Angel is gonna blow when he finds out~ she thought.

"I want you to go home right now, and stay there, or I'm gonna drive a stake into Spike's heart" Buffy said angrily.

Raven shook her head, "you wouldn't dare" she said.

Buffy groaned mentally, and lifted her arm, and then brought it down fast on Spike.

"Fine" Raven screamed out just before the stake made impact. "Bye Spike" Raven finished and then ran off.

"Catch ya later love" Spike yelled with a grin still on his face.

He then turned his face back towards Buffy, and his grin grew wider. He slid his legs out from underneath her and kicked her in the chest.

"Do you think I would actually let you stake me so easily Slayer" Spike said as he jumped up then grabbed his head in pain.

Buffy jumped up quick ready for Spike's next attack but nothing came. Buffy looked up and the vampire just grinned at her.

"When you talk to Angel say hi for me " Spike finished then he turned out and walked off towards his crypt.

~Damn that girl, she can't just lock me up here. I'm older uggg~ Raven thought as she sat on her bed back in her room.

It was the next day and Willow was order by Buffy to put a charm on Raven's windows and door so she couldn't get out. Raven could easily break that charm, not only cuz she was stronger then Willow, but she wasn't even using her full power because she felt bad about locking her up. Raven groaned again this time louder at the fact that it was her conscious that was stopping her from over powering Willow.

"Ya I know Angel" Raven heard Buffy say.

~Great she called him and probably is telling him the whole story.~ Raven thought.

"Alright I understand, I'll tell her" Buffy finished and hung up the phone.

Buffy ran her fingers through her hair and thought everything over, ~ guess I'll send her back with Oz and few other things~ she thought as she walked up the stairs.

~Aw man I can't take this anymore~ Raven thought.

She grabbed a big purse and stuffed some light clothes, then threw it under her bed as she heard Buffy coming up the stairs.

"Let me in Willow" Raven heard and she could feel the charm going down.

This would be the perfect time to slip out but Raven wanted to hear what Angel had to say. She sat Indian style on her bed and waited.

Buffy came in and stood in front of her, "I talked to Angel and he wants to talk about a lot with you. So he would like you to come back to L.A. for a few weeks." Buffy said.

Raven shook her head and blinked her eyes to make sure what she just heard was real.

"What no way. I'm not going back there. Even you can take better of me then he can." Raven yelled out.

"He has help now, so if he needs to leave Cordelia will be there to watch over you and so will a guy named Doyle sometimes" Buffy said calmly.

Raven groaned and thought everything over, "Sorry no can do Slayer" she said.

Then she grabbed the bag from under her bed and disappeared out of the room.

"Dam" Buffy yelled.

Willow came rushing in and looked around.

"Man I knew I should have put the charm back up after you entered" Willow said.

"It wouldn't have helped" Buffy finished and then walked back downstairs, ~ he's gone be even madder now~ Buffy thought as she reached for the phone again.

Willow ran downstairs after Buffy and stopped her before she reached the phone.

"How about we go check at Spike's, where else could she go" Willow said.

Buffy smiled and nodded her head. She turned and grabbed a small ax from her weapons crate and then stormed out the door.

"Is that really necessary" Willow asked as she ran after Buffy locking the door behind them.

Buffy nodded her head and then continued to stomp towards Spike's crypt.

Buffy banged on the door with the ax and then kicked it down. Spike looked up surprised and rushed to a corner for shade from the bright sun.

"What do you want this time Slayer" Spike hissed out.

"Where is she" Buffy asked angry.

"Who" Spike asked dumbfounded.

"Rae, Where is she. She telported out of her room and had to come here" Buffy yelled.

"Sorry slayer but no matter how much I wished that she is, she ain't here" Spike said with a grin.

"Well then I guess you don't mind if I take a look around" Buffy said finally grinning herself.

"Uh actually I do" Spike started as he came out of his corner.

Buffy turned and glared at him intensely and pointed her ax. Spike growled then felt then sun sizzling on him and stepped back into the dark. Buffy smiled and then her and Willow looked around the small Crypt and then began down a latter.

"Uh that's actually my bedroom and we have yet to go in there together" Spike said with a grin as he rushed over to the latter to avoid the sun.

The girls ignored him and so he just followed them down. Spike stood there and watched as Buffy tore up his room cuz Willow was holding him back with a spell.

"Nothing" Buffy said quietly and started to walk back up the stairs.

"Well thanks for the lovely visit" Spike yelled after them sarcastically and growled as he looked around his now trashed room.

"Sorry I didn't think they would do this" Raven said appearing in Spike's bedroom.

Spike turned around surprised and grinned, "so you were here" he said.

Raven nodded her head, "Angel wants to take me back to L.A., I just wanted to let you know" Raven said and then started to walk towards the latter.

"Why don't you stay here Love" Spike said grabbing her around the waist.

Raven looked up at him and their lips locked for a while. Raven turned around while kissing him and Spike wrapped his arms tighter around her back.

~What stops me from digging into her neck and killing her~ Spike thought as their kiss ended.

Raven removed her lips from Spike's and looked at him with a smile.

"Wish I could but that would just cause more trouble for you" Raven said.

She slipped out of Spike's embrace and glided her hands through the air. Spike's bedroom items all slid back into place magically and his room looked even cleaner then before Buffy stopped by.

"I'll be back once I know that they won't come looking here" Raven said with a smile.

She kissed Spike on the check and then disappeared in smoke.

Raven reappeared in a clock tower in the middle of town, ~ I'll be fine her for a while~ she thought as she curled up under the covers she had stole from her bedroom. ~There's no way I'm going back to L.A. now~
