A/N: I've tired fan fiction before but it never goes well lol. So I would really like you to read and review so I can approve my writing and maybe actually keep this story going.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was around 6 AM when Xander finally awoke it wasn't because he wanted to but his stupid Star Wars alarm clock went off so he had to go to work. Anya, of course, was still in a sound sleep taking up more of her portion of the bed like she always did. Willow was going to bed around in an hour to take care of Anya and make sure she didn't go bizarre on them like she usually did. Then Willow would have to give her a potion she made to soothe her.

Xander quietly stepped out of the bed and put some of the blankets on Anya that had some how came off of her that night, no not sex, she had another nightmare this time. It seemed that they were getting more and more intense as the days went on. He kissed her on the cheek then slipped on his pants and shirt to make himself presentable for the boss. He was straitening his necktie he heard a voice come from the closet saying " I will get revenge on you Anyanka." He put on a confused face and looked at Anya but she apparently didn't hear anything or else she'd probably be screaming at him. So he shrugged and went about business as usual. He made sure though before he left though that he left a note for Willow telling her to check the closet just in case.

Willow had come by around 10 minutes after Xander had left. She looked at the note the closet? What could possibly be in the closet, but she did what he said and opened but nothing was there. She made Anya some breakfast when she heard a voice coming from the bathroom " Revenge is what I seek on you." She said a little spell in her mind to let her see if someone was there but nothing happened so she shook it off and continues with breakfast.

Anya rolled over in bed so she was facing the window. She opened her eyes barely just so that she could see a little. But what she saw she didn't expect and jumped up screaming.

Willow ran into the room " What? What happened?" She went over to Anya trying to get her to calm down and talk, but Anya was to scare to talk.

Anya could feel the tears burning her face and the nausea over coming her " she...she." Was all she could manage to get out before she ran to the bathroom?

Willow followed in pursuit while grabbing the phone and calling Xander.

" She flipping out Xander gets her fast" and she hung up the phone. Xander didn't need an explanation. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

She kneeled down beside Anya stoking her hair.

" She was there." She broke down crying in Willow's arms.

" Shhh..shh.. It's all right she's gone now" she kissed the top of her head and murmured soothing words in her ear.

Xander entered the apartment and saw Anya and Willow in the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" He said.

" Revenge is what I seek" a voice said behind him and he turned around seeing Halfeck standing there smiling an evil smile.
