*****Previously on Billie Summers: Billie asked the cute Scorpio to the dance, but got rejected....ouch. Spike drove Billie home....and Colin is being a jackass out of himself in Willow's house....keep reading!!*****

The red ferrari pulled up in Willow's driveway. Billie unbuckled her seat belt, and Spike put his hand on her shoulder. Billie looked up and said, " Thanks for the ride, Spike." She got out of the car and Spike turned on the ignition and drove away. He waved as he disappeared down Sunnydale Lane.

Billie carried her backpack and her books. When she approached the doorstep, she fumbled through her bag and got out the house key. She opened the door and saw Colin.

" I want to know where she is..." Colin looked to his right and saw Billie in her jeans and sweater. He darted forward, but Willow got in his way.

" You are not going to lay a finger on her, you hear me?" Willow had her arms spread out to protect Billie. Billie was shocked at what Willow had said. Colin's eyes twitched with animosity, and strided ahead.

Colin muttered a cuss word and let out a cold blow to Willow. Somehow, she didn't get harmed from the hit. She fell near the couch, with no scars. Billie looked from Willow and to Colin.

~ How could Colin hurt her? I was his only child. ~ she thought. By then, Colin was only a few feet away, his brown eyes made Billie drown into the chocolate pool. Billie started to cover her face from the fear of Colin. His footsteps creaked on the hardwood floor. Two more steps....one more step....and then, there was silence.

Billie peeped from behind her fingers, and noticed that Colin had stopped dead in his tracks. His face was stricken with horror, and he started to mumble some words...." ...thy will be done....on earth..."

Billie felt a dark shadow hanging over her. Icy cold breaths darted at Billie's neck. She shook with fear, and realized that Willow's self had froze at the sight at what was behind her.

Colin brought out a tiny cross and continued on his muttering. His brown eyes were dilated with horror.....Billie knew that she needed to turn around. So she did. When she turned around, she stopped dead in her tracks.

The tall black figure....she could tell that it was a he....and he had a hood over his face. It looked like the reaper of the dead people....but Billie knew that behind that hood, was more than fear. Death.

* * *

The dark figure lifted up his arm and pointed straight at Colin. " Shame." He said. Colin was shaking and could hardly lift up his tiny cross. Then, Colin let out a cowardly cry and ran out the door not worrying if the Dark Figure would block him.

Fortunately, he didn't. Colin was gone, and Willow was still not moving. The dark figure moved toward Billie. Billie's ocean-blue eyes stared at him. She flinched when he laid a hand on her. She could feel its bones, but it was gloved. Billie gasped out some little puffs of air, and felt the figure caress her face with his gloved hands.

~ Spike, where are you? ~ For once, Billie needed her dad for the first time in her life.

" Beauty....again." The dark man said. His voice was raspy with evil in it. Billie quivered but couldn't move because of the touch of his gloved hands. He slowly leaned forward as if looking for a kiss from Billie. Billie started to go backward but the strong grip on her shoulder from him, didn't make her move at all.

Of all the horror that went through her veins, Billie let out a soft whisper.

" Help."

Just then, Billie winced as she saw a quick speed of darkness come after the hooded figure. The bony fingers were laid off of her...and the raspy voice was no longer there. There was a loud shriek of horror, and the Dark Shadow dissolved its escape. The door was still opened, and Billie looked straight our in front of her. To her left, Willow had a wonder in her eyes, and got up slowly.

" You know, love, that whenever you need help...you just scream the hell off your head." Spike said. His silver-blue eyes pierced Billie's ocean- blue eyes, and there was a slight raise in Spike's eyebrows.

" Looks like you got yourself an admirer, pet." Spike chuckled and great white puffs of air flew out of his mouth. Billie rolled her eyes, and folded her arms on her chest.

" Billie? I know that it's weird for me to say this...but you should at least show some gratitude to..." Willow raised her hand at Spike.

To help Willow finish her sentence, " Her father..."Spike smiled. Willow eyed him with anger, and smiled at Billie. " Spike." Willow finished her sentence with emphasis to make sure that Spike gets the point.

Billie smiled and nodded. She slowly went forward and gradually said, " Thank you....Spike."

" Anytime, love. It's getting awfully dark here...I think I'll have to roam the streets." Spike stepped off to the doorstep. Willow stood in silence, and tried to recall the memory of what had happened for the past five minutes.

In an instance, Billie went to the doorway and stopped Spike. The dim light in the streets reflected Spike's features on his face. The light made his silver-blue eyes illuminate in the darkness, which made Billie shudder.

" Let me come with you." Billie insisted, and in her hand, was a wooden stake. And right then, a smile crept up on Spike's face.

" Welcome to the real world...Billie Summers." And in a few seconds, Spike took Billie's hand and went into the darkness.

" Noooo!!!!" Willow didn't believe her eyes. She got up and ran to the doorway.

~ How could she let this happen? ~ she thought. ~ Buffy and she had made a pact....a pact that cannot be broken...~

* Spike is to be nowhere near Billie Summers....*
