-NO! Willow, take it back! Take it back!-

A smirking expression appears on Spike's face.

"That could be arranged"

Willow shakes her head weakly as Spike moves closer.

"Spike, I simply said that to make you leave. Now that you arent, repay me for saving you by letting me go!"

The smirk disappears, to be replaced with a frown.

"Red, you got me all excited over having a new pal, now you want to leave? Go. Nobody will stop you. They try, they already know i'll stake 'em myself."

-Aww, how sweet!-

-No. He must be lying.-

Willow struggles to get up, and she runs as fast as she can.

She runs out of the crypt, and runs all the way to her house.

Only when she is at her front door does she stop.

She quickly lets herself in, and goes up to her room.

She moves to her bed, and lays down, falling asleep.

She never gave any thought to the fact that vampires in the crypt saw her, yet didnt act.
