Part 4: Arrivals
Willow walked into her dorm room a little confused. She was worried about the way Spike was acting. They were getting to be really good friends, but she still didn't understand him at all. He was always being cryptic. Like Angel. That was another thing that she was worried about. She wasn't entirely sure that Spike was telling the truth about Angel. And he did seem really concerned about protecting her. She got changed for bed and went to write in her diary.
Dear Diary,
At this present moment in time, my life sux. I have all these feelings and have no way to express them. No one's really paying attention to me, I think that if I disappeared it would take them a while to notice. Even that would only happen when they wanted some research done.
This whole thing with Spike is really confusing as well; he's almost convinced that Angelus is back. And maybe he's right. At the moment I wouldn't really care if he came and killed us all.
I know that's it's not the best thing to say about Angel, him being Buffy's ex and all, but I liked him better when he didn't have his soul. Sure he was a homicidal maniac, but at least he had character and he smiled a bit. That smile was heaven. It was so sensual, filled with his whole bad boy attitude. No one would think that when they looked at me, that I prefer bad boys. I find them so more interesting than good boys.
Well I should stop all these thoughts now anyway. And better go to bed, I don't want to answer any questions that she might have.
Willow.
Willow put her diary back in her bedside draw and turned off the light. It wasn't long before she was in a deep sleep.
********
Spike was lounging in his crypt when his cell phone rang. "Yeah,"
"Spike it's me."
"I gathered that from the lost boy look. What do you want peaches?"
Angel growled into the phone. "Don't call me that. Why did you tell Willow that I was back?"
"Oh, I don't know. Just to give her fair warning before you come along and take her away from all that she loves." Spike responded.
"Whatever just don't let her do anything stupid. I don't want her to know that I'm back when I come to Sunnydale."
"And when will that be happening peaches?"
"Tomorrow,"
Spike sat up quickly. "Tomorrow! I thought you said you were going to wait for a bit longer before you came and got Red."
"I was," Angelus said shortly. "But Cordelia had a vision so we're leaving in the morning."
"Ah the cheerleader," Spike said chuckling, "What are you going to do about her?"
"Nothing, if I kill her then they'll know something's up, s I'm letting her live. Anyway it's not her I want. Not long after we get there, I'm going to take Willow and then we're all getting out of that hell hole."
"Good because I don't know how much longer I can stay here without killing Buffy." Spike shuddered. "Especially after she and I kissed because of Red's spell."
Angelus laughed. "They don't know that you don't have the chip anymore do they?"
"No peaches, they're still completely ignorant."
"That's good. Sit tight and I'll be there soon. I'm coming to claim what's mine." Angelus hung up the phone without a word.
"Well it was nice talking to you too peaches. See you soon." Spike said sarcastically into the phone. "He better get here soon. He's not the only one wanting Red."
