Willow's Savior
Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon does, the lucky guy.
Authors Note: Rated R for a few curse words and talk of sex. About the same as an episode, but better safe then sorry. Takes place after Spike got the chip and there is no Tara.
Willows POV
I awoke a few hours later in much the same position I was in earlier that night. My head still rested on Spike's shoulder and I had my arms wrapped around his waist. I didn't have long to enjoy the novelty of waking up in Spike's arms though because a few seconds later Buffy stormed into the crypt.

"Spike I need your help searching for Willow. She never got back to the dorm." Buffy said as she entered the lower set of rooms. If I had been fully awake I probably would have gotten out of bed but I didn't have time to before Buffy entered the room. Before either I could open my mouth to explain, or Buffy could get over her shock, Spike decided to take control of the situation.

"As you can see Slutty, she's right here. No need to get your knickers in a twist."

That comment seemed to wake Buffy from the daze she was in and she took a few threatening steps toward where Spike and I lay. Panicked and hoping to avoid bloodshed, I jumped out of bed and intercepted an angry Slayer.

"Buffy calm down." I said while placing a hand on her shoulder only to have it shaken off.

"Calm down, Will? Calm down?!? I have been worried sick about you when you weren't in our dorm. I was out searching for you and where were you? Out screwing a goddamn vampire."

"I wasn't -." I tried to explain only to be cut off by an irate Buffy.

"Were you trying to prove that you could handle yourself around demons? Big bad and dangerous to know. God! I didn't think you would throw yourself at the first damn vampire to show up!" Buffy sneered at me while glaring at Spike. Had I not been so furious I would have noticed the tears in Buffy's eyes, as it was I could barely stand to look at her. Who the hell doe's she think she is? Angel anyone! GRRR!!

"Who the hell do you think you are? Like my love life is any concern of yours. You are not my mother and I don't need to explain my whereabouts to you." Perhaps I should have stopped at this point but I wasn't exactly thinking clearly. "Besides, at least he won't lose his soul when I have sex with him." I snarl as I grab my bag and stalk to the entrance. I ignored Buffy's "he doesn't have a soul to lose" as I walked to the door, only acknowledging Spike before I left, although I'm not sure he noticed due to his gob smacked expression.

Although my head was pounding, I paid no attention to it as I stormed out of the cemetery. I had no idea of where I was going, I just knew that I had to get as far away from Buffy as possible. I was still swearing under my breath when I came across Willy's Bar. Instead of walking in the other direction like a good little witch I found my feet evil feet taking me inside. Once I entered the bar its patron stopped what they were doing to stare at me. I was the only human in the place and all the assortment of demons were looking at me as if I was a rare delicacy. Considering Buffy and the Scoobies were responsible for quite a bit of demon killing in this part of the country. It probably wasn't the best idea to come here. We probably killed some of their brothers or sisters. What were you thinking? You've lived on the Hellmouth this long Rosenberg, are you trying to get yourself killed? That little voice in my head sounded like Buffy unfortunately, and that just served to remind me why I was here in the first place. Without stopping to think I straightened my back and stalked up to the bar where Willy was bartending.

"Can I get a Corona, please?" I asked, even though I am not a big drinker and am technically under-age.

"Look girl, you shouldn't be here. If something happens to you the Slayer will have my head." Willy said under his breath trying not to attract attention.

"I appreciate the concern but I can take care of myself."

"Can you now, little girl." A vampire leered from behind me.

"Back off. I am in no mood to deal with another vampire tonight.." I growled outwardly composed while, inwardly I was frantically trying to remember the spell to create a ball of sunlight. The male vampire meanwhile, vamped out and attacked me before I could cast the spell, so my actions were extremely limited. Before he got the chance to snap my neck or drain me dry, I managed to use a levitation spell to hurl him through a table half-way across the room. I then proceeded to levitate the extra stake I keep in my bag for emergencies, and before he knew it, the unsuspecting vampire was a pile of dust. I try not to use magic that much because it tends to take a lot out of me, but the only one who noticed my shaky stance was Willy and that was only because he saw the white-knuckled death grip I had on the bar. The other demons were too busy staring in surprise, I used this to my advantage.

"All I wanted was a couple of drinks. Is that too much to ask? Does anyone else want to attack me while I'm up anyway?" I sneered doing my best Vamp Willow impression. It must have been better than last time though because none of the demons would look at me and they all went back to their drinks. After a few minutes of watching the demons watching me watching them, we all got bored and ignored each other. That is how Spike found me an hour later drunk off my ass, flirting with a chaos demon while Willy kept me from being eaten by his other customers.
