Chapter 5 : Confessions

"Someone is here." He said. Willow's mouth dropped open and nodded. She began to whisper under her breath as Spike smelt the air. His eyes widen as he noticed that it was the same person that had almost killed him and Buffy. As he moved to grab the girl, Willow finished her spell and a small girl was lifted into the air.

She began to scream, and curse at them. "PUT ME DOWN YOU DAMN CREATURES!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Spike winced. What was with women and screaming? She continued on her rant until Willow motioned with her hand and the girls screams came to a sudden stop. Spike laughed slightly. Her mouth was still moving but no sounds were coming out.

"Thanks Red." he said.

"No problem. This the girl I think it is?" She asked. He nodded and stepped closer to her and felt a familiar shiver run threw him.

"And she's a slayer too." He said looking back at the others.

Giles almost dropped Buffy as Spike made this statement. "What? Are you quite sure?" Spike laughed as the man tried not to reach up for his glasses.

"I am a vampire." He said and Giles nodded.

"I think we should perhaps take this inside." He said as some of the neighbors lights began to flicker on. The group nodded and Willow motioned for the motionless girl to follow and like she was being pulled along she did so. A look of fear crossing her features. As soon as they were inside. Giles placed Buffy down on the couch.

"Hey Watcher," Spike began. "You still have those chains around?" Giles frowned.

"Chains?"

"Yeah, the ones that held me." Giles took off his glasses and wiped them off.

"I think so they are around her somewhere, why?"

"I think we may need some magical help to hold down Buffy, jr."

"I think Willow can take care of that." Giles said as a matter of fact.

"No, she can't." Spike said before Willow could say anything he continued. "Look at her, she is all ready flagging. She hasn't used this much magic in a long time. Don't make a dumb mistake because you disliked me." He said. Giles nodded.

"Watch the girl. I will go get them." He said after a few minutes. He disappeared into the back part of his house. Spike glared at the young girl that Willow held with her magic. Willow sighed and sat down.

"You okay, Red?" Spike asked. Hating the fact that he actually sounded worried. She nodded.

"Just a little drained. I can hold it." She assured him. "No dusting will be happening." She said. Dawn moved over to stand beside Spike.

"Why do you think she was following us?" She asked. "And why did she fight you and Buffy?"

Spike shrugged. "Can't say I know, Bit." He said as he wrapped his arms around her. "But I promise we will get to the bottom of the problem..." He said looking over at Buffy. "And fast." He finished.

"Found them!" Came Giles exclamation when he came back into the room. Spike couldn't help himself.

"That was fast Watcher...been using them for other reasons then chaining prisoners?" Spike asked a cocky grin on his face. Giles blushed slightly and Spike laughed out loud. "Who would've thought." He exclaimed. Dawn was puzzled but Willow understood and she was staring at her almost--father with a glint of fascination in her eyes. Spike chuckled and took the chains from the watcher and quickly tied the slayer chit to a nearby chair.

"Willow it would be okay to relax now. You can remove your spells." Giles said finally finding his voice. Spike chuckled under his breath. Willow nodded and within a few seconds the girl was screaming bloody murder. Spike growled and clamped his hand over her mouth. She tried to bit him but he wouldn't give her the chance. He vamped out and bent her backwards over the chair as much as possible. His teeth by her neck.

"Shut-Up!" He hissed. "You will tell me everything I want to know and then I might think about not having a midnight snack." He growled into her throat. "Got it?" He asked. She nodded. Tears welding up in her eyes. Spike pulled back and turned back to his human features. He looked over at Dawn.

"NIBBLET?"

"Yeah?" She asked looking up from her sister to him.

"I need you and Willow to get the others over here as soon as possible." The girl nodded and her and Willow raced out the front door grabbing Giles' new car keys from the rack by the door.

After they had left Giles walked up beside Spike. "And what will we be doing?" The older man asked. Spike grinned his enlarge canines flashing in the low light.

"Which would you prefer to be?" Spike asked. "Good cop or bad?" Giles grinned.

==============

Willow's mind was racing faster then she could keep up. Buffy's sick. Gotta get the gang. New slayer in town. Big Trouble. Buffy could be dying. I promised Tara I wouldn't use Magic's. She closed her eyes as she pulled up to a red light. She glanced over at Dawn. The poor girl looked like she was about to faint.

"Dawnie?" She asked. "Are you okay?"

"No." Came the cry muffled answer.

"Oh, honey," she said pulling her close. "Come here." Willow said, "It will be okay. We can solve whatever comes...right." Willow said and the girl nodded.

"It's just Buffy has never been really sick in here whole life." She sniffled. "And if it was because of Spike..."She trailed off. "I don't think I could handle it." She pulled Willow closer. "I have already lost Mom...and her. I can't lose her twice." Then with more determination. "I won't lose her again Willow. I won't."

====================

A few minutes later Willow pulled up into Xander and Anya's driveway. She blew the horn and then dashed up to the front door, "XANDER!" She screamed. "ANYA!" After a few more moments like this a hastily dressed Anya opened the door.

"What I was in the middle of-"

"Who is it?" Xander asked. Anya pouted.

"Your friend." She said turning away from the door.

"Our friend." Xander corrected. The ex-demon waved her hand.

"Whatever. I am going back to bed. Come a join me when you feel like it." She growled as she disappeared from view.

"Will?" Xander asked. "What's wrong." She gave him a weak smile.

"At the moment? What isn't?"

=============

Tara was awoke by a light knocking at her door. She moaned and rolled out of bed. She walked over and looked in the peephole. She frowned but opened the door.

"Willow, sweetheart, it's like three in the morning." She began that was when Willow turned. Tears streaming down her face. The blonde witch was shocked.

"Tara..."Willow began. Tara pulled her lover into a hug.

"Sweetheart what is it?" She asked rubbing her back.

"Buffy...She's di-" Willow hissed at her choice of words. "She sick...really sick and there's." She began to cry harder.

"Buffy?" Tara asked. "What's wrong with her?" She asked worried. Willow shrugged.

"I don't know...but Tara...it's bad..." She said. "We have to hurry." Tara nodded and pulled on some different clothes.

"I'm ready. Let's go." She said as they walked back down to the car.
