Chapter 6 "Broken Toys"

Xander tries to scream but his voice is horse. He hasn't been able to scream

for about an hour. That just makes them laugh harder. Xander's body aches

all over from the multiple beatings he has had today. Some of his bruises

are turning sickly colors, and his cuts are still bleeding in some places.

"I don't think we're hurting him." Spike says sarcastically. "Maybe we

should try the spoon." Spike walks over to the counter beside Xander, who is

chained to a cold metal table. Spike lifts the sheet covering the counter

to reveal "instruments." Angelus walks back in, stopping Spike before he can

pick up the 'spoon.'

"Now, now." Angelus says. "Save that for later."

Willow watches on in horror. Xander is completely nude, as is Willow.

Willow is tied to a chair placed at such an angle, that she can see

everything they do to Xander. They've been torturing him for hours now, she

lost track of time after five hours.

"Maybe we should let him rest." Angelus says sarcastically to a now

unconscious Xander.

Willow laughs when she see Xander. He looks asleep at first, and she laughs

at the absolute obsurdity of sleep, or peace, in this hell.

"Will you look at that? The birds starting to enjoy herself." Spike laughs.

"Miss. Edith says the toy is almost broken. We can play tomorrow." Drusilla

announces.

"I know what I want to do to pass the time." Spike says looking over at

Willow.

Angelus walks over to the nude Willow. Willow doesn't want to look up from

the floor, but she does. She sees Angelus, with his shirt off. She's never

seen a guy without his shirt. She is momentarily in awe of his beauty,

before she remembers what is happening.

"You like this don't you Willow?" Angelus taunts her.

"Bite me." Willow says without thinking. The minute she says it, her eyes

grow wide.

"Happy to." Angelus says, dipping down, and sucking on her neck, before

slipping into his vampire visage, and sinking his fangs into her pale flesh.

Willow shivers and nearly screams, but then she relaxes, as the hurt turns

to bliss. Her untied arms twitch, and nearly reach up to keep Angelus there,

as he starts to pull away, but then Willow is smacked back down to earth,

and all of the pain returns.

"Like that did we luv?" Spike asks moving closer to her. "Want some more?"

Willow just shakes her head, she can't talk anymore, but Spike just

continues to move closer. He gets right in front of her, and moves his eyes

up and down her body, before changing, and biting into her shoulder. Willow

doesn't move, or say a word, she just lets him drink. When he is finished he

kisses her, her blood still on his lips. Willow tried to lift up her hand to

wipe it away, but realized that her hands had been retied while Spike was

biting her. She just lets the blood sit on her lips, she refused to lick it

away, which is exactly what they wanted. She slowly starts to slip

unconscious, from the amount of blood lose, and the last thing she sees is

Angelus's face sneering at her.

Drusilla whimpers for Spike to come play, but Spike goes out to get a meal.

Drusilla follows him half-heartidly, and Angelus stays with the new toys.

Xander wakes up, and cries out as pain shoots through his body. 'What the?'

he starts to think before remembering that he was kidnapped by Angelus and

Spike. He looks around and sees Willow sitting in a chair, and then he looks

away, because she is naked, unconscious, and has been bitten twice by

vampires. Xander starts to lift his body up, before he is stopped by his

restraints. He has thick leather cuffs attached to his wrists, with spikes

on the inside. The spikes only ever touch your flesh if you move, Xander

quickly realizes, and stops pulling on them. He turns his head back to

Willow, but when he turns, Angelus is bent down, staring at him.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" Angelus asks.

"Yes." Xander says without thinking.

Angelus smiles and then lifts his hands up so Xander can see a match being

lit. Angelus lights it, then throws it underneath the table Xander is on.

He lies there for a few minutes, wondering what that was all about, before

he feels it. The table underneath him is getting hot, sending shocks of

heat through his body. The table gets hotter and hotter until he cries out

in pain, sure that he will be extra crispy soon. When the pain became so

intense that he began to black out, he was jerked awake by a bucket of ice

water being poured over his body. Xander watches as Angelus walks over to

the unconscious Willow, and playfully nips at her neck. Xander cringes every

time the vampire gets closer to her, and he feels absolutely useless, for

not being able to help her.

Spike walks back into the 'torture chamber' with a girl Xander recognizes

immediately as Cordelia. Cordelia looks dazed, and Xander wonders how they

captured her. As he watches, he sees Drusilla drag in a screaming little

boy, and to his horror, Cordelia smiles, and turns into a vampire, before

biting the boy. Soon his screams are gone, and his dead body slumps to the

floor.

"Damn it." he thinks to himself, and wonders what other havoc Angelus has

reeked on his friends. While he is chastising himself for not being there,

the horror continues as Angelus walks up behind Cordelia, and stakes her.

"Why did you do that?" Xander asks more to himself, but the vampires heard.

Angelus laughs loudly, and turns to Xander.

"It just kills you that you weren't there for any of them, doesn't it?" he

asks mockingly. "You know you couldn't have done anything anyway, don't you?

You are useless Xander. Willow is an upcoming witch, and a genius, Giles is

the Watcher, Buffy is the slayer, Oz was the werewolf, and even Cordelia had

more to offer than you." Angelus says all of this with a smile, and a

friendly tone, and that just shakes Xander all the more.

Xander zeros in on the word 'was' in reference to Oz, and wonders if he is

dead as well.

"I think it's time we play again." Spike says from behind Angelus. "Bloody

bored I am." he finishes.

"You go ahead." Angelus tells him. "A treat for my boy." he says as he

kisses Spike's forehead, and walks over to a chair near the wall.

Xander looks around trying to see what other things are in the room, and

wishes he hadn't. The walls are lined with whips, paddles, knifes, and other

torture devices that Xander doesn't even recognize. The counter with the

'instruments' on it, is still beside Xander, and he worridly looks at the

'spoon.'

"What to start with, what to start with?" Spike says to himself, then he

looks around the room, and sees Willow starting to wake up. "Any suggestions

Red?" he asks when she is fully awake.

"What?" Willow asks, forgetting that she was refusing to speak to any of

them.

"Do you have any suggestions on what I should start with?" Spike asks,

flourishing his hand around the room, for her to see what he means.

Willows eyes grow wide in fear for Xander, and for herself, but she doesn't

say a word, or acknowledge Spikes' question.

"Fine." Spike says in a playfully hurt tone. "I'll just start with this." he

says picking a knife off of the wall, that looks like it could slice through

bone.
