Summary: Willow gets a clue with her new blanket.
Feedback: Please.
Willow took in the damage in the dorm room, tuning out Buffy's ranting and raving. She stared at the nail polish names on her bed until her vision blurred, mind going wild.
Could Spike's death be connected with Xander's? Xander had seemed almost happy when Spike started patrolling regularly with him, happier than he had been in a long time. The blond vampire seemed to direct his attacks more at Buffy and her and less at Xander. She had thought that she heard kissing when her and Buffy's path intersected theirs, but she told herself she was imagining things. He had lost the happiness the next night when Buffy announced she had staked the "blond annoyance." That was when the depression set in, and he seemed almost zombie like.
Then he was found dead with blood everywhere. Oh god. It was. Xander had loved, or was falling in love with, Spike and Buffy had to ruin it. Willow began to question Buffy's motives. Was she fed up with Spike's attitude, or was she jealous of the happiness those two had? She wasn't happy so she wouldn't let anyone else be happy around her.
She had indirectly killed Xander by killing Spike. Could those two have somehow done this? No one was seen around the dorm room, and the "staked" pig brought up the whole Spike thing. Plus he always was complaining about the pig's blood that he drank and Buffy called him a pig during her disastrous "will be done" spell when they were engaged. The stakes in the shape of his name wasn't exactly subtle and the broken holy water vials added to it.
This was a wake up call to how blind she was.
