Giles sighed from his seat beside the vampire and threw his head back to rest on the back of the sofa. Obviously one of the children had forgotten something and come to collect it. "Who is it?" he called over his shoulder without opening his eyes.

There was a slight pause outside before the answer came forth. "I…It's me. It's Willow." She called through the door. There was another pause and a slight thud against the door as if the Wicca was in urgent need of whatever she'd forgotten. "I've got some friends out here Giles. Can you hurry up and let me in? Please?" she asked loud and clear to the watcher.

The ex-librarian sighed again and rubbed his eyes with his fingers. He was not in the mood for this. "Fine, it's open. Come in. All of you come in." The sudden bang of the door hitting the wall was enough to startle Spike and make him get into a ready position. He spread his weight as he saw Willow be pushed out of the way of her 'friends'.

Seeing Willow be forcefully shoved, Giles was on his feet and rushing towards the girl. He helped her stand straight as he looked over the strangers that had entered his home.

He was trying to make out exactly why they had hurt Willow, when he heard a yelp from over by the sofa. He turned to see that Spike was now on the floor writhing beneath a mass of six other males. He was being forcefully pinned to the floor by the others, whilst five girls stood in front of the exit.

"Get off me you bunch of wankers!" Spike yelled from his place on the floor. They were all clambering on top of him and one was forcefully ruffling his hair. Spike growled from beneath them and somehow managed to push his way free. "You stupid sods! What did you do that for?"

"Hello to you too little brother." One of them grinned. His blonde hair flopped in front of his eyes and he flicked it back within seconds. I guess you didn't feel us get in town then?"

Giles stood with Willow behind him. She was shaking a little and the small cross he had to protect them from what was obviously now a dozen vampires, was not making her feel any better about the situation. "Giles they grabbed me and made me do it. Honest I didn't want to." She whispered to the ex watcher and tightened her grip around his arm.

Spike folded his arms across his chest defensively and scowled at the intruders. "That doesn't mean anything. I can still kick all your arses." Four of the women rolled their eyes; Drusilla however merely clapped her hands.

"Oh…naughty naughty Spike. Didn't see us all coming to get him. He'll be hard pressed to find an answer now." She giggled to herself. Laura sighed and hushed her from where she was standing. Drusilla took no notice and continued to whisper to herself.

"Guys can we go eat now? I'm getting hungry!" Nick asked from beside his brothers. They were taking far too long. The plan had been to come to town, find the mansion, find William and live happily ever after pissing off the slayer. Of course, the fact that their brother was working with the slayer was causing a slight problem.

"No." Spike uttered. "No eating. Get out of town and go somewhere else. If you stay here Buffy will kill you." He pointed out and took a step closer to his siblings. "I mean it guys, go elsewhere. There's nothing here but trouble."

"I thought you liked trouble?" Sophie answered and smiled at the glare William sent her way. "Surely you're not afraid of the slayer William. We heard that you had killed two since we left."

"You're coming with us William. We wont harm your pets humans if you come with us now." Michael was always the voice of order. Laura was in charge of the girls and all of them effectively, but if it involved one of the boys, he was in charge. "So move."

"Spike?" Giles ventured from his safe corner. All twelve of the vampire turned to look at him. Drusilla smiled and waved. "Er…are these people your siblings you were telling me about?"

"Siblings?"

"Hush Willow! Because I was just wondering why the whole clan of Auralius would walk into a place where they knew the slayer could be." He was hoping to scare them all off. Maybe the thought of the slayer would make these vampires reconsider.

"So?" ten voices all replied. Dru merely giggled and pointed to the ceiling, tracing the patterns the stars made. Giles paled slightly when he realised that these vampires were in no way scared of the slayer. "We could kill her easily. One snap of a neck is all it takes to…"

"No! No killing the slayer all right? This is my town guys. No killing unless I say so. The slayer is out of bounds for all of you and you'd better bloody remember that." He growled the last past and saw the shocked looks on his siblings' faces.

Penn growled and approached his brother. "It seems that you have forgotten who gives the orders around here William. You are not even a master vampire yet; I suggest that you remember that. No one holds authority over us except our sire or our older siblings. Which may I remind you, you have eleven of." Penn was right in spike's face now, and the younger vampire was finding himself having to look up to keep eye contact.

"Penn is right William. You know the law and you must obey. In human years you are the equivalent of a four year old. How much power does that give you over anybody?" Michael had somehow managed to get behind the youngest and had placed his hands firmly on his shoulders. "You come with us and we'll stay away from the slayer."

"And my- her friends?"

If Michael noticed the slip he didn't let on. "And her friends." He whispered soothingly. He knew the William hated to be pressured. He was only young and had been alone for so long it seemed that he had forgotten how to behave. But deep inside he was still the child he'd always been.

"Okay." Spike whispered and risked a quick glance at Giles before going to the door. The other vampires followed quickly and smiled at the man whose house they had invaded. They knew he knew about them. This was beginning to get interesting.

I know it's really short but I'm in the middle of my exams and I really haven't had time to write for ages. I'm really trying guys and I swear that I'm going to finish all these fics. You just have to be patient with me for a while. I'm having a stressful time at home and school. So I'm sorry it's taken so long, but don't be surprised if there isn't another update for a while.
