Willows POV

I awoke to somebody hugging me close to their cold body. Smiling a little at the contact I snuggled a little closer. Opening my eyes I saw Dwayne's calm, relaxed face as he slept.

He was here with me, in bed. Hugging me. I thought over the times I spent with him and I noticed why the feelings I felt for him were so familiar...I loved him. Maybe not completely but more then a family way ... like a romantic way. Closing my eyes I tried shaking the thought from my mind but it wouldn't leave. Opening my eyes I breathed slowly before lifting a hand stroking some stray hairs away from his face and behind his ear.

He looked so peaceful, like he had no problems and I know he cared in a way for me. I don't know how I know but I feel it in my bones, in my heart.

I sat up suddenly screaming as my head started exploding. I was vaguely aware of other people entering the room, someone placed cold hands on my face but my eyes were almost stapled shut and my mind was protesting as my heart beat so hard I swore I could feel it against my ribcage.

I saw blurs. Blobs moving and changing, it was grainy like a memory. I felt boiling tears draining down my face as arms surrounded me. All I could see was a tall man in black, grinning. Smirking. He picked me up muttering words. Walking away he left me with a tall blonde. I heard screams. My body was shaking. Looking at my hands I saw they were that of a child, my clothes were that of a little green swirly dress that came to my knees and jelly sandals. I screamed again as I felt a fire spread down my spine and settle there as everything fell into darkness. Gasping I opened my eyes pulling away from hands. I fell hard onto a floor as I panicked and shuffled back until I hit a wall. Rocking I felt my mind and body fight the images flash and shove themselves into my mind. I was vaguely away a pale woman with hypnotic eyes was crouched in front of me placing her fingers on my sweaty temples.

I felt ice sooth the pain as it spread over my body becoming manageable. Groaning I felt my eyes fluttering.

"Willow?" I snapped back like a rubber band to see a pained looking Marko watching me. I remembered he felt what I felt and now I looked closer he was sweating slightly and his curls were plastered to his forehead.

"I'm fine" I reacted automatically as Drusilla moved away to the smirking Spikes embrace.

"You're not" I looked to Dwayne as his deep voice penetrated my mind.

"I am... I'm not sure what that was but i-" I was cut off when he appeared in front of me trying to resist growling.

"Listen. We are here we will be here now forever for you. But in exchange you have to risk that leap and trust us. Tell us what happened!" Dwayne demanded with his low voice spearing through my mind.

I went to protest but I could see the hurt I caused him in his eyes the way he looked at me. I instantly felt guilty and apologized watching his hand as he removed it from the wall next to my head.

"I saw a tall dark man and a blonde woman, I was at home and everything seemed bigger or I was small. I think someone has tampered with my past and these are the memories that have forced themselves in my mind..." I trailed of as my eyes connected with Drusilla's.

"The bloody ponce went to the hellmouth and left me and Dru here. Blondie here told us your tale red so could the bint and the poof be the cause?" Spike said jabbing his thumb in David's direction at the mention of blondie making David growl as Paul and Marko snickered.

"That is likely, why did they go to Sunnydale?" I asked as Dwayne sat next to me wrapping a arm over my shoulders pulling me into his chest.

"The master summoned him, she tagged along to see her maker" I nodded slowly as Spike started to preen at having the information making all the guys roll their eyes and Drusilla stroke his face and slink around him.

"Then it must be around now Angelus gains his soul because he according to the watcher diaries he meets the master a few odd times before his soul kicks in..." I trailed at Spikes grin.

"Oh no! The poof already had his soul after he killed a gypsy her coven gave him the soul as punishment. Darla found out and sought mine an Dru's help to which I laughed but she wanted to help her 'daddy' we killed the coven and when the one who cast the spell died the spell wore off" Spike said lighting a cigarette after David offered one. Frowning I realised the watcher diaries were all wrong then...

"We have to go!" I said quickly. They looked confused. I continued, " If he won't gain a soul now then nothing will stop him from hurting the me from this time and that means should he kill me ... her then I will die and if my past is changed to much it will destroy EVERYTHING so I need to re-soul Angelus or he and Buffy will never meet, he won't save her life and basically everything will fall out of place!" I said gathering up clothing in a slight rush as the others let it sink in.

"I will inform Max, be ready in an hour and we will fly there." David said before walking out.

Spike shrugged before walking out with Drusilla in tow. Marko and Paul went to get more weed for the journey as they were apparently running low. Dwayne helped me put some clothes in a small backpack before pulling me into a hug running his fingers lightly up and down my spine making me relax against him.

"It will be fine!" He ensured me gently lifting my bag over his bare shoulder and pulling me from my room into the main of the cave where Spike was sat watching Drusilla spin and swirl.

Paul and Marko were playfully pushing each other entering the cave before Paul settled on the couch rolling joints as Marko sat upon his ledge feeding his doves as Dwayne sat me in his lap as he sat on the armchair awaiting for David's return.

About 20 minutes later David strolled in just as I was drifting of in Dwayne's embrace. Yanking some steel toe boots on and grabbing his famous trench coat David motioned for everyone to get their coats. Smirking David stalked to Spike.

"You and Drusilla are to stay here, clean if you would and keep the cave safe!" He growled in Spikes ear who merely rolled his eyes and lit another cigarette. After David and the other lost boys gathered at the mouth of the cave Dwayne lifted me in his arms making me gasp, he wrapped my arms around his chest under his jacket making me blush before cradling me following as David flew out the cave.

"How long will it take?" Paul whined when he found he couldn't smoke while flying. Smirking David replied and hour. Grumbling Paul and Marko started joking around as David rolled his eyes and ignored the duo. Dwayne and me had a little conversation about other memories from Sunnydale and tales after a few minutes of talking about Faith Paul whistled and howled how she was dibbed as his making me roll my eyes.

David said we were there landing a few metres away from the welcome to Sunnydale sign.

David led me and the guys into the underground area where the Master resided stating they had to announce they were here. I nodded taking a deep breath as Dwayne whispered they would let nothing happened to me. Smiling and blushing I thanked him as we dropped into the catacombs of the old local church.

"Well well well! If it isn't the famous lost boys! And it seems they found Tinkerbelle!" A eerie voice uttered as an echo of clapping surrounded us. Rolling his eyes David smirked before motioning us to stay there as he walked to the thrown clucking his tongue before shrugging attempting to take a seat before the aged vampire appeared before throwing him across the room causing the guys to growl lowly in their throats.

"Master, great to see you!" David said with a lousy salute and his words dripping sarcasm making the master grin before sitting himself in his thrown motioning for David to come forward. David stood in front of the master before stating that we would be here a week at most before returning.

"Shame! I wanted to get to know Tinkerbelle here more!" The master leered locking my eyes with his, I gazed into the deep red of his eyes and felt thankful I knew he would die soon. Standing the master walked over before standing in front of me making my eyes narrow as he leaned down to the point im sure if he breathed I would be feeling his breath on my face.

"She shows no fear..." The master muttered examining me closer before attempting to smell my hair before Dwayne hissed making the master snicker.

"She yours?" He asked Dwayne now gazing over him as Dwayne nodded stiffly before growling when the master stroked the side of my face lightly with his clawed fingers.

"She belongs to us!" David announced standing in front of the now pouting master.

"She smells very familier, I assume she is from the future...seeing Angelus came threw a while ago with a child with a uncanny resemblance to her saying she would be his and Darla's new corruption..." The master said smirking before returning to his thrown giving me one last look over.

"Where is Angelus and Darla?" I snapped making the boys stiffen and the master lean forward in interest.

"Well she speaks... with such a spark. Hmm he took your younger self to the chambers along the left hall, he angered me tonight and I was planning to kill her in punishment but this is soo much better..." He snickered motioning to a dank hall to out left. Nodding David marched down the hall as me and the guys followed.
