Part 9: Independence?
"Great!" Willow said throwing her hands in the air. "First I get kidnapped by to crazy vampires and now I'm being hunted by a psycho who's trying to kill me. My life just can't get any better."
"Willow calm down," Angelus said calmly.
"No I won't calm down!" Willow yelled. "I didn't ask for any of this, any of this. You just come in one day and take my away from my whole life. Did it even get through to your thick skull that I wouldn't like this! That I might hate it!"
With every word Willow said Angelus got madder. "I don't care what you want
Willow. You're my mate, that's all that
matters now. You have to do everything
I say. Whether you like ti or
not."
"And if I don't?" Willow said
defiantly.
"I'll whip the skin off your back." Angelus said softly.
Willow gasped, "You wouldn't."
"Yes I would." Angelus said. "And I'll do just that if you don't calm down right now."
Willow did what he said, even though she was fuming about it. She flopped down onto the sofa and folded her arms over her chest.
"And don't sulk." Angelus said. "You're not a five-year-old."
"Let her have a pout, Peaches." Spike said. "The chit's just found out that she's being hunted. And the strenuous activities that we've been putting her through can't be helping her much."
Angelus laughed despite himself. "You're right Spike. Maybe we can get her mind off things again."
Willow shook her head. "I just want to be alone for a little while okay guys. I need time to process all of this."
Angelus looked reluctant but said to her anyway, "Alright. But you are not to leave the house. There are no phones around so you won't be able to call your friends. Your not going anywhere Willow, so don't try to do anything stupid."
"All right Angelus," Willow said sighing. "I'm not going anywhere. I just want some time to myself. Is that too much to ask of you?" Willow said with an attitude.
"Watch it Willow," Angelus growled. "You've already tried my patients enough today. It wouldn't take much to puch me over the edge."
Willow that he was serious so she didn't say anything else to him. For the next two hours she wandered around the house. Trying to look for anything that she could use to her advantage, even if it was only a room to escape to for little while. In her wanderings she realised that Angelus was right, there was no way for her to escape. And what shocked Willow even more was the fact that she didn't really want to leave.
"Had enough alone time pet?" Spike said coming into the room.
"Yeah I think I have Spike." Willow said softly. "I have a request to ask of you and Angelus."
"What is it pet?" He asked a bit hesitantly looking at Angelus who was standing behind him.
"Can I have my own room?"
"NO!" Angelus and Spike shouted in unison
