Part 10: Privileges
Willow was startled by their reaction. They were both yelling at her about wanting her own room. She didn't know what the big deal was. "Why should it matter if I want my own room?"
"Because we don't want you to!" Angelus growled.
"But it's only for some of my things. Computer, books, that kind of thing." Willow explained.
Angelus and Spike still looked at her sceptically. They didn't know what to say to Willow about what she wanted. Angelus was afraid that if they gave her what she wanted then she would become too independent and try and get away from them. Spike was afraid that she would begin to move away from him emotionally.
"I don't like it," Spike growled to Angelus in a voice so low that Willow wouldn't be able to hear. "She might start getting ideas."
"I agree," Angelus said. "The answer in no Willow. You can put all of your things in one of the rooms down here. Where we can keep an eye on you."
"You don't trust me do you?" Willow asked placing her hands on her hips. In one way she couldn't blame them, she was trying to find a way to get out and tell Buffy what has happened.
"No we don't." Angelus stated. "And until we do, you aren't going to be alone for a long period of time."
"Well since I'm going to be here for a while can we at least a few decent things in this house?" Willow was angry that they wouldn't be leaving her alone for any long amount of time. This meant that she wouldn't be able to get away for a while yet.
"Sure," Angelus said shrugging. Willow was surprised; she had thought that he would be dead set against it. "We'll go after the sun sets."
"Okay," Willow said a bit uncertainly. "Am I going with you? Or is it just you guys?"
"Oh you're going to go with us Willow. How would we know what kind of food to buy you? And don't worry about clothes. You'll just stand there and we'll bring things to you." Willow liked this even better. If they went to a local mall then she might see Buffy and be able to get some help. As if reading her mind Angelus said to her, "Don't think about being able to get any help. We're not shopping local." Willow's shoulder's slumped a bit at that news.
"Why you look really disappointed Willow," Angelus said walking up to her. "Is it possible that you were hoping that we would go somewhere where you know people and you could ask for help." He shook his head, pulling her into his arms. "Do you really think that I'm that stupid?"
"No," Willow shook her head, trying to something to say about why she was upset. "It's just that I won't know what to buy because I won't be familiar with the area."
Angelus shook his head. "Don't try and cover up for it Willow, I know what you were thinking. But you should stop it right now. You're not going to get away from me, you're never going to get away from me."
"He's right pet." Spike said coming up behind her. "You're ours now, and nothing's going to change that."
Willow knew that there was nothing she could do about that. At the moment, but she was determined that she would try and do something about it at a later date. "So," Willow said, trying to get off the topic. "What can I buy?"
Angelus laughed. "Women," He said to Spike. "Always thinking about money."
They both laughed and proceeded to tell and show Willow what she could buy.
