Chapter 6

Three months later.

The five friends have been staying in a hotel while finding a new place to move into. Willow had gotten out of the hospital two months ago. She had bad scars on her legs.

Willow was scared every time Angel left. She was afraid he wouldn't come back. There had been a lot of nights that the redhead had nightmares about the night of the fire, and Angel becoming Angelus. Willow would climb into Angel's bed, and he would wrap his arms around her telling her everything was going to be ok, but tonight she woke up for a different reason.

A hand clamped down on her mouth, and her eyes popped open only to have her breath catch in her throat. Darla stood over her and Dru on the bed beside her. Willow started to struggle and a whimper came though Darla's hand.

"Willow?" Angel asked opening his eyes to look at her.

"Ah my Angel," Darla said.

Angel shot up only to be pushed back down by some demons. He struggled to push them off, but was shot with a tranquilizer and he lost conscious.

"Angel." Willow's cry was muffled by Darla's hand.

Darla looked down at the redhead.

"Take one last look at him. The next time you see him he will be ripping you to threads." Darla stated. "You didn't really think he was going to stay with you did you?"

Tears burned Willow's eyes, and then Darla slapped her across the face.

"Little tree took daddy away. You're a bad girl." Dru said "Tell Spikey it is gross to love a human, and give him this." She then slapped Willow across the other cheek.

The demons picked Angel up and carried him out of the room, after Darla and Dru left Willow jumped out of bed and ran to the hall way but they were already gone. She ran to Cordelia's room and pounded on the door, but there was no answer. She then ran to Spike and Xander's room and pounded on their door. Her whole body shook and tears ran down her face.

Xander opened the door, "Willow!"

"He's gone, they took him." Willow cried and fell into her best friends arms. Xander carried her to the bed.

"Who?" Cordelia asked.

"Darla, Dru and some kind of demons. Darla said next time I see him he will be ripping me to threads, and then she slapped me. Dru said Spike was gross for loving a human and slapped me to give to you. I told him I wouldn't let them have him." Willow cried. Cordelia wrapped her arms around Willow.

"We'll get him back." Xander promised.

"Where do we start looking? What if they have already changed him back to Angelus?" Willow asked wiping her eyes.

"Then you re-curse him again. Do you have an orb of Thessulah?" Cordelia asked.

"Yes I had Angel go and find one when I was in the hospital. It is in our room," Willow nodded.

"Come on I can sense them when we are close enough." Spike said grabbing his duster.

Willow had the curse memorized. She knew she could do it again. She would save Angel.
