Chapter 7

"Tell Giles to hold up, I won't be long." Willow managed to squeeze in before her phone died. Willow cursed under her breath. She put the cell phone back in her pocket and carried on walking in the direction of Buffy's house. Seeing Red was having a song writing session at Buffy's and Willow was running a bit late. She carried on walking. Willow quickened her pace when she heard foot steps behind her. The foot steps quickened also. Until, they were right behind her. Then, blackness.

"Oz, I thought Will told you she was on her way." Oz nodded. "That was half an hour ago." Said Buffy.

"I'll try ringing her again." He said picking up his cell phone and dialled in Willow's number. "That's weird." Oz said looking at his phone. "She's not answering."

"Maybe she didn't hear it." said Dawn.

"Maybe." Oz had a worried expression on his face.

An hour later, still no Willow. The Scooby gang were staring to get worried, especially Oz.

"I'm gona call her house phone." Buffy said marching to her phone. She knew it was a long shot, everybody did, but it was worth a try. A while later, Buffy returned with a grim look on her face.

"Willow's in hospital."

The Scoobies rushed to the hospital. Mr and Mrs Rosenberg were sat down on some chairs, waiting for news on their daughter.

"Buffy, I'm glad you guys could come." Mrs Rosenberg said, forcing the tears away from her eyes.

"It's okay, anything for Willow." Said Faith.

"Do you know who did this?" asked Buffy.

Mrs Rosenberg shook her head. Then said, "The police think it's connected to Cordelia's death." She then burst into tears.

"Apparently there was a third women too." Said Mr Rosenberg comforting his wife.

Buffy asked, "Who?"
