Chapter 2

The next week was quiet no one saw anything out of the ordinary. The redhead started to believe she had just imagined it all. That was until she saw Buffy run back into the cabin panting and looking pale.

"Buffy what's wrong?" Xander asked walking to his girlfriend.

"I saw him." Buffy panted looking at the group.

"Saw who?" Spike questioned.

"They guy Willow saw the first night we were here. I saw him he was eating." Buffy swallowed hard.

"Oh God," Cordelia said covering her mouth.

"Where did you see him?" Angel asked.

"Out in the woods I was taking a walk and saw him. He didn't see me though. I didn't know what to do. I mean he's not a demon." Buffy replied finally being able to breathe easily.

"We better go find him." Xander stated.

"What?" Willow yelled making everyone jump. Yeah she was pissed they didn't believe her, but yup here come Buffy the 'chosen one' telling them the exact same story and they all believe her.

"Red?" Spike asked.

"You believe her," Willow said pointing to the slayer. "When she tells to she saw him, but when I told you I saw him it was 'no you imagined it.' nice."

"Willow it's just we didn't think a human would do that." Buffy explained looking at the redhead.

"Whatever. You guys go find him and kill him or whatever you are going to do. I am going to bed." Willow said and turned around and went to her and Angel's room. She was so angry that none of them had believed her not even Angel.

Willow woke when she heard Angel walk in. "So did you find him?" Willow asked coldly.

"No we looked everywhere, but there was no sign of him." Angel replied climbing into bed and pulling Willow close. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you."

"Why didn't you? You guys all made me sound like I was crazy." Willow said not being able to hide the hurt from her voice.

"I'm sorry baby. I just didn't think a human could do that. I guess we all thought it would be better if we said you just imagined it. We are all sorry." Angel said kissing the top of her head.

"I know you are." Willow said turning around and kissed him, "Make it up to me?" she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Oh yeah," Angel smiled and kissed her.

Willow woke later from a noise. She got out of bed and opened the bedroom curtains, and screamed when she saw the man from the woods sitting there watching her. He then stood and walked back into the woods.

Angel shot up when he heard Willow scream, "Willow?"

"He was outside." Willow said pointing to the window.

Angel stood and walked over looking out the window, "Which way did he go?" Angel asked.

"Back into the woods," Willow answered.

There was a knock at the door making Willow scream again.

"Hey what's going on in there? Are you guys ok?" Buffy called through the door.

Angel went and opened it seeing everyone standing there. "The guy from the woods was standing out side the window." Angel replied.

"What was he doing?" Cordelia asked.

"He was just sitting there watching when I opened the curtains." Willow said, "Then he stood up and walked back into the woods."

"I think we should get out of here." Xander declared.

"Yeah we don't know where this guy is we looked for hours and never even spotted the bloody bloke." Spike agreed.

"Pack up we leave in twenty." Angel ordered.

They pulled up to Giles's apartment an hour and a half later. Willow was still shaking. They knocked on the door and a few minutes later a very sleepy Giles answered.

"What are you all doing here? You still have a few days off." Giles said rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Giles there was this guy in the woods and he was eating people. Willow saw him the first night we were there, but we all thought she imagined it, but then Buffy saw him tonight. We went looking for him but didn't find a trace that he was even around. Then Willow woke up and he was sitting outside her and Angel's bedroom window he was just sitting there then he got up and walked back into the woods." Xander elucidated looking at the ex-watcher.

"My word," Giles replied sitting heavily in the chair.

"I didn't know what to do when I saw him. I mean he's human. How can we tell the police? They will think we are completely insane!" Buffy stated.

"Are you sure you saw what you saw?" Giles asked looking at the group.

"Why does everyone keep asking that?" Willow grumbled.

"It's just if this was happening there would be a lot of missing people's reports, and I haven't seen or heard of anything about that." Giles clarified.

"How is that possible?" Cordelia asked.

"You think I never really saw the guy and Buffy thought she saw him because I told her don't you?" Willow sighed.

"I'm afraid so. I think living on the hell mouth had made us all a little jumpy." Giles answered.

"Ugh." Willow said sitting on the couch.

"Why don't you all go home and get a good night sleep." Giles suggested.

"Yeah," Cordelia agreed.

Everyone went back to their homes.

Willow and Angel were lying in Angel's bed. She was still awake she couldn't believe it had just been her imagination. She snuggled closer to Angel and fell asleep.
