Chapter 3: Uncertainty
Nothing.
There was nothing there, just space.
"Oh god." 'Oh god. Buffy is here. Please, just let her kill me quickly. I don't think I can handle this. I can't. She'll hate me. I hate myself.'
"Red." 'Spike's here? What is he doing here? Is he going to do it? Buffy can't do it herself? It's too painful, I guess. I hope he gets it over with. He won't care. He hates me anyway. He only cares about Buffy.'
"Willow. Willow. Oh god. Who did this to you?" Willow closed her eyes trying to keep the burning tears out at the sound of her friend's anguished cry.
The silence stayed there for a minute or two before, "Willow. Dammit, say something!"
Willow turned and saw the pale face of the slayer and the shocked one of Spike. Finally, the tears came. They poured out of her body as she tried to relinquish the pain she felt. She caught sight of Buffy stepping close to her. Willow jumped back and let out a growl. It wasn't a growl of anger, but one of hunger and caution.
"Get away from me."
The moment she had growled, Spike had taken a step closer and pulled Buffy back. He placed the distraught girl behind him. 'What is the little chit playing at? She's a vampire, I know. Is she just playing with us before she strikes?'
"Red." Spike stepped forward and she looked up into his eyes. What he saw there shocked him to no end. Depths of pain reflected back at him.
"You have a soul." At his statement, Buffy's now quiet crying stopped and Willow nodded.
"Oh god. You have soul. Willow. I haven't lost you!" Before Spike could stop her, Buffy had rushed out behind him and thrown her arms around her best friend. Willow's eyes widened and she tried to push the slayer off of her. Buffy, keeping a strong hold on the redhead, didn't notice what she was doing.
"Buffy." Willow's plea left unheard to the slayer. Willow couldn't take it anymore. She finally gave in and roughly grabbed Buffy. Willow sunk her fangs into the slayer. Buffy screamed and Spike pushed Willow into the wall. Willow sank to the ground with her hands over her eyes.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." Spike stared at the girl in pain as Buffy stared at her friend.
"Buffy. It might be better if went downstairs." Buffy turned to Spike and shook her head.
"No. I'm not leaving my best friend." Spike sighed and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Look. You aren't helping. I understand what she's going through. Just go downstairs. I'll try to get something out of her, okay?" Buffy nodded and silently walked out of the room.
When the door clicked shut, Spike turned to the redhead who hadn't stopped crying. He walked over and leaned down onto his knees. He reached up and took her wrists and pulled them away from face.
"Red." Willow shook her head and tried to free herself from him. He struggled with her before saying, "Willow, stop." Willow halted what she was doing. Like Buffy, she was surprised when he said her name.
"Don't give me that look. I know your name, I just like Red better." She nodded and closed her eyes.
"Please go away. I can't take it." She whispered. He knew what she was saying and he leaned closer to her.
"Spike, please. Go away. I'm...hungry." The last statement came out in a soft whisper. She turned her head in embarrassment.
"Red. I'm not leaving you. Okay? I know your hungry. Here." He reached up put his wrist in her face. Her eyes widened in horror.
"No. No. No. I can't. You're a vampire." She pulled back and he grabbed her hand and placed it over his heart just like he had done for Buffy. A tear fell from her eye.
"I'm so sorry. Oh god. It's my fault. I did this to you. I made you human. I'm so sorry."
"Willow! Stop this. You're drowning in your own bloody pity party!"
"I can't. I'm dead, for god's sake! I'm dead! I'll never fall in love. I'll never have a future. This wasn't supposed to happen." Spike's eyes softened and he rubbed her arm.
"I know pet. I know. We'll fix it. I promise. But right now, you need to get something to eat. I know what hunger does to vampires. Don't worry pet. I'll stop you if you get out of control." She looked at him with unsure eyes. "Are you sure?" He nodded and she closed her eyes.
"Okay." Spike nodded and pulled her to him. He pushed his wrist into her face once more and grabbed it into her small, pale hands. With one last look into his eyes she looked down with newfound hunger. Taking a sudden vicious bite into his wrist, she slowly started to drink.
Spike instantly felt the weakening as she sucked on his wrist. After a moment, Spike pushed her back and grabbed his wrist. He wrapped the bleeding wound in a towel and looked up at the new vampire. Her eyes and body looked rejuvenated. She gave him a soft smile.
"Thank you." He nodded.
"Tell me who did this to you." She shrugged and her sad eyes turned to look at the ground.
"I don't know. I woke up in the middle of the night in agonizing pain. Next thing I know, I'm a vampire."
'It's just like my case.' Spike stood up and offered her a hand. She nervously grabbed it and allowed him to pull her up. Spike looked down at her and awkwardly patted her back.
"It'll be alright." Willow nodded but her mind was focused on the electric feelings running through her back as Spike patted it.
"Come on. We need to fix this little predicament we have." Willow snorted and Spike shot her an amused glance. "Little, yeah right." Spike chuckled at her and they walked downstairs together.
***********
"Spikey is hurt, but that little red witch is the one who is a demon, not the nasty slayer. I don't care who my Spikey loves; I'll kill them all. All of them." Druscilla turned to her minions with a sadistic smile.
"Get the red witch. I want her dead. I want her away from my Spikey."
***********
"Willow." Buffy jumped out of her chair as Spike and Willow walked down the stairs.
"Buffy. I'm so sorry." Buffy ran to her friend and they wrapped each other in a hug. Spike rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch. Willow walked over and sat next to him while Buffy sat in the chair across from them.
"Okay, so what the hell is going on?"
"Like we know Slayer. All we know is that the both of us woke up in the middle of the night with blinding pain and we woke up like this." Willow nodded and sat back.
"Someone switched the two of us. It wasn't me though. I don't think it was at least. I haven't done any spells or anything." They racked their brains trying to think of who could have done it.
"Ethan maybe?" Willow shook her head.
"No, not him. Not to Spike, and me at least. He would do it to you or Giles." Buffy nodded and sighed.
"God, this just pisses me off. Whoever did this better be ready to get their asses kicked." Buffy clenched her fists together and Willow shook her head.
"We don't even know who did it Buffy. We really need Giles."
"Right." Buffy pulled her cell phone out and dialed a number. She waited for a few minutes before his answering machine came on.
"Giles. It's Buffy. We need you home, ASAP. Something's happened to Willow...and Spike. Please just come home. Call me." She hung up and looked at them.
"I hope he calls back."
"Where is he?" Willow questioned.
"Some Watcher's retreat thing. He supposed to come back Monday, though."
"We better get Xand and Anya over here. We need to start coming up with a plan. I can't take this. I'm getting hungry, again. I just ate!" Willow pulled her hands to her eyes and tried to will the tears away. She jumped as she felt the warm feeling of Spike's arm wrapped around her shoulders. She looked over at him to see his worried eyes staring down at her.
Buffy stared between the two in confusion. She just noticed that Spike hadn't once looked at her since he and Willow had walked back down.
His gaze had been fixed at Willow.
