"Has anyone seen Chloe?" Willow asked sitting down on Giles' couch with a bowl of popcorn.
Buffy walked in and joined her, taking a handful of popcorn. "No. She was supposed to come and see me, but I guess she changed her mind. She is probably with Spike." She said rolling her eyes.
"But her and Spike are just friends." Willow said eating another piece.
"You never know." Buffy said smiling.
"She's been acting weirdly lately. Like she doesn't want to be around anyone." Willow pointed out.
"That is weird. She loves being around us." Buffy said looking at a magazine on Giles' coffee table.
"I don't know. I went to go and see her and she acted all strange. She kept looking around like someone was there."
Buffy threw down the magazine obviously bored with it.
Giles passed through looking at a book and went directly to his office.
"Does Giles know we just hang out at his house?" Willow asked watching him.
Buffy shrugged, smiling.
"I'm going to see her. From the way she talked, she wanted to talk about something important. And I just need some fresh air."
"I'll go with you." Willow added.
"Okay. Let me go tell Giles."
Buffy walked to Giles office and knocked on the already open door. He was engulfed with papers on his desk and he was obviously intrigued with his work.
"Me and Willow are going to go check on Chloe."
He just made a noise knowing that he heard her.
Buffy smiled and walked out.
"We're all set."
Giles poked his head out of his office. "Buffy?"
Buffy rolled her eyes and turned around.
"Will you protrol while your out. It's a nice night. Lots of people out. You know the routine."
"Yes. I do."
Giles went back into his office, closing the door.
"Well, we were almost free." Willow smiled.
Buffy sighed as they walked out the door together.
Chloe breathed and whimpered like she was made to run five miles. She shook uncontrollably with fear and exhaustion. Suddenly Christian's naked body came out of hers. Hot tears streamed down Chloe's face. Christian's body hovered over hers. She turned her head, so that she wouldn't have to look at him.
"You're...amazing." He said, breathing hard himself.
Chloe had stopped whimpering and her breathing was becoming steady. She finally looked at him. He looked at her with complete lust and passion.
Suddenly a knock came from the front door.
"Expecting someone?"
Chloe shook her head.
Frustrated, he vanished. The air became silent.
"Chloe?" Buffy called.
Chloe got up and wrapped a sheet around her body.
She walked to where Buffy's voice called her.
"Evening." She said brushing her hair out of her eyes.
They both looked at her sweating body.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes." She said rewrapping a part of the sheet.
They both looked at her strangely.
"What?"
"Well, you're...you're just all sweaty and well." Willow said nervously
"Is Spike here?" Buffy asked tired of beating around the bush
"No. Why?"
"Well when you're wrapped up in a sheet and you're sweating...that screams out "I've just had the best sex of my life!" Buffy said being sarcastic.
"So what if I did. It's not a crime. You seem to do it pretty well without anyone asking about it." Chloe shot back, her eyes becoming black.
Buffy stood there not saying anything.
"So what did you come here for?"
"To ask how you are. What you wanted to talk to Buffy about." Willow said stepping in for what might've been an insult from Buffy.
"Oh...um..." she walked over to her room and saw Christian's eyes glaring at her.
"I don't remember. Now that I think about it. But whenever I think about it, I'll tell you." She said in a tone that told them she wanted them to leave.
"Spike is here isn't he?"
"No, but I am now." He said walking into the crypt.
Chloe slapped her hand to her forehead and sat down in a chair.
"That's our cue to leave." Buffy said walking out of the crypt. Willow mouthed and "I'm sorry" to Chloe and followed.
Spike stood there and watched Chloe with her hands in her face.
"Why are you sweating love?" he asked walking over to her.
She didn't say anything, but stood up, facing Spike.
"Is it Christian?" he said looking around.
She nodded slightly, just so Spike would see, but Christian wouldn't.
She looked at Spike with longing eyes that seemed to be saying, "Help me!"
"You should go." Chloe said quietly.
"I can't leave you alone with him."
"You have to."
"He'll kill you."
Chloe shook her head.
"He needs me."
Spike took a step back.
"Spike...it's not what you think. Please understand. He needs me."
Spike nodded. "Alright love. You don't have to tell me twice."
With that he left the crypt leaving her standing there.
"I hate it when he calls you love."
Chloe felt his cold chill behind her.
"So...where were we?" he asked evilly.
