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.

Anya plopped out her suitcase on the bed and started shoving clothes in it. She couldn't believe she was running away but she didn't want to hurt Xander and Willow this way. She wanted to find herself but she needed to be alone. She loves Xander very much more than herself that was why she was leaving. Maybe if she had a person inside of her she could be a better girlfriend for him. He deserved better than her. With a tear streaming down her face she started to zip up the suitcase. But that didn't go very well when someone was standing there in the living room watching her. He pulled a knife from his trench coat and held it up. Anya ran to the other side of the room violently trying to get the window open but the unknown visitor had taped it shut. Anya was panicking now and she felt like she was going to be sick. The tall dark guy approached her and grabbed at her. But Anya was too smart and dove between his legs and kicked him in the crotch and ran for the door. The man somehow appeared in front of her and Anya ran on the other side of the dining room table. The guy flipped it over and started towards her threatening her with the knife. She turned and ran but the man picked up a book and hit her in the head with it and Anya let out a cry of pain and fell to the floor uncoinsence. The man picked her up gently and vanished in a green cloud of thick smoke.

Xander and Willow entered the apartment laughing up a storm carrying some bags. Until the stopped and say the mess.

" Ahn...!" Xander shouted but no one answered and he ran into the bedroom dropping the bags and seeing the suitcase " did she leave? Oh god no!" He shook his head tears in his eyes " but... I."

" Xander look!" Willow picked up the knife which the demon was carrying " she didn't leave...she was attacked"

" No! How... is this possible who would want to hurt her?" Xander sat down on the bed and picked up one of Anya sweaters and held it close.

" I-I don't know...we should go see Buffy about this though" Willow started picking up some of the smashed glass from the mirror on the floor.

Xander just nodded solemnly.

Anya woke up in a dark room tied to a wooden chair. She struggled in it trying to wiggle herself out but it was no use the ropes were too night.

" What do you want?" Anya lifted her head and said into the darkness " Huh?!?! What do you want!!!" She screamed and broke down crying.

" Shh... No need to shout Miss. Anya I'm am but right here...and I want you" he caressed her face with his hand and she moved away " Oh come now no pity for me? The master will be ever so pleased that he has his final ingredient for the opening spell"

" What are you talking about?" Tears were running down everywhere and all she could think about was Xander.

" Your blood my dear... a blood of a killer" The man said and kissed her on the lips.

Anya pushed away and panted.

Xander and Willow arrived at Buff's house and pounded on the door.

" Buffy! Come on we need you!" Xander screamed at the door.

" Umm hey guys" Buffy said as she opened the door " Come in I guess" she showed them in.

Willow sat down on the couch and was a little afraid of trying to word this right " Anya's been kidnapped we think... and the demon or something left this" she took out the knife from her bag.

" Ya so?" She looked at the knife " The knife is pretty demon has good taste"

"Well are you going to help ?" Xander asked looking up at her.

" Why should I?" Buffy said bluntly.

" Because you're the slayer and she's your friend" Xander said a little worried.

" No thanks first of all if she does come back you guys will return to ignoring me again and she's not my friend she's yours" and with that Buffy left the scene leaving Willow and Xander very confused.
