Part 7

~~~

The door slammed loudly behind her making Willow jump. She quickly turned around and saw that Michael had a slight smirk on his face.

"Michael? What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Willow, I've done something so, so remarkable that you would never believe it. Or maybe you would. I'm going to get Amy back. I'm also going to be in good favor of the Goddess. Do you know what this feels like? I mean its ultimate power, not that I'm concerned with power."

"Michael you're starting to scare me. What did you do?!"

"I've performed a binding spell that will rival that of the spell that the Great Vorseece did with the warrior Gorton and the maiden Deltra."

"Who?"

"It doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that I get Amy back, safe and sound. You don't know how much I miss her."

Willow moved closer to Michael and gave him a hug.

"Michael it's great that you have found a way to change back Amy but what it all this stuff about bindings and whatnot?"

"Willow, don't you see? You and that vampire, William. You are both bound together. You two are the power that makes this ritual up. The Goddess chooses you to help me with this task. I mean, isn't that the greatest thing? The Goddess actually chose you!"

"Ummm... yeah, sure that's just great. I'm bound to some vampire named William? Do I know him?"

"Oh course you do silly, you have been talking to him ever since you were bound to him."

"Umm... Michael I have no idea what you are talking about, but I don't want to be bound to any vampires, thank you very much. So can you just get your ritual done and then unbind us or whatever?"

"Fear not, I'm sure that the Goddess will unbind you so to speak when all of this is over. You will have to wait for the next full moon when your powers and his are together in harmony and have the most strength though."

"Ok. I think I can wait that long, I mean the next full moon is at the end of the month right?"

"That is correct. Umm... Willow one question though. Why aren't you at school? I mean you always go to school."

"I could ask you the same question Michael."

"That you could, now if you would depart, I have a spell to work with."

"Ok, I will talk to you later then. And Michael no more of this binding me to people I don't even know without asking, ok?"

"Sure thing Willow. I will talk to you soon."

"Yeah, bye and take care."

Willow stepped out of the house and decided to go home. 'No one will be home', she thought bitterly. 'I really don't want to go to school, so why not? This will be the first time ever that I have ditched school. I'm feeling reckless, screw school for today!'

Willow walked home and took a nice long hot shower. She got some clean clothing on and lay down on her bed. *Now what do I do? What do people do that ditch school?*

[They shut up and stop talking to themselves. You know some people are trying to get a little shuteye around here!]

*Spike!*

[Not so loud Pet, I'm right here. I can hear you loud and clear unfortunately!]

*Sorry. Spike I have to ask you something... Ummm... oh Goddess I can't believe I'm asking him this, and that I didn't realize this earlier...*

[Red! You're babbling. Get on with it. Ask me whatever you want so I can get some sleep.]

*Spike, what's your real name?*

[Jeez Red that's all you wanted to ask me? It's William, now can I go now?]

*Oh Goddess. You're the one! Michael you stupid asshole, I can't believe you actually did this to me!*

[Red? What's wrong? Who the hell is Michael and what the bloody hell did he 'actually' do to you?]

*Umm... well he sort of, boundustogethertosaveourfriendAmywhohasbeenstuckinratform...*

[Hold on, slow down. Now say that again, only about 100 times slower!]

*Umm... well what I said was that he sort of bound us together to save our friend Amy who has been stuck in rat form... yeah.*

[He did what? Well fix it why don't you?]

*Spike its not that simple. I mean he said that once the ritual is done then we will become unbound but we have to wait.*

[Wait till what?]

*...*

[Red? What are you hiding from me? Come on tell me, what are we waiting for?]

*The next full moon.*

[Red that's a whole bloody month!]

*Yeah, well it's for a good cause. I mean it's to save a friend of mine. And I mean it's not like we are hurting each other or anything so why don't we wait until the ritual is over and everything will be back to normal.*

[Grrr... Red if you were anyone else I would have traveled all the way to Sunnyhell and ripped your throat out and left your rotting undrank corpse in the street. But I'm not going to do that.]

*Ummm... well thank you, I guess. I mean I don't want to die or anything.*

[So instead I'm going to go all the way to Sunnyhell just so I can rip your pretty little throat out, drink you dry and then leave your rotting corpse in the street!]

*Spike, oh Goddess, you can't!*

[Oh just watch me.]

*Spike you have no idea what killing me will do to you. I mean we are bound together and all. So it would be best if we just tried to stay out of each other's way and just wait till the end of the month and everything will be ok. I hope.*

[Fine Pet have it your way. But I swear I will kill you if I have to.]

*I believe it!*

[So Pet what's a bound couple to do?]

*Umm... whatever you want to I guess. I have no idea, this has never happened to me before.*

[That much is obvious. But since this is new to me too, I'm going to go sleep on it.*

*Umm... goodnight Spike.*

[Night Red, sweet bloody dreams to you.]

*Ohh... sure, yeah to you too.*

[It's so much fun making you squirm. Bye.]

The connection was ended and both Willow and Spike were feeling a loss of the intimate connection. They both missed it but wouldn't admit it to themselves.
