Chapter 3
It has been a week since Willow saw Jesse and thought Xander had died. She hadn't seen anything else. She was afraid to leave Angel. She felt safe with him and didn't want to leave him not even for a second.
They were sitting at Giles's when Xander ran in.
"Luv what is it?" Spike asked.
"I think I know who put the spell on Wills." Xander panted.
"Who?" Angel growled.
"Ethan." Xander answered.
"Ethan?" Giles asked standing.
"I saw him walking into that run down hotel. He had a spell book with him." Xander explained.
"Why would Ethan put that kind of spell on me?" Willow asked.
"To make you weak." Giles replied, "You are the power of the group. You're magic has saved us numerous times."
"So what he wants Willow to go crazy so she can't help us?" Xander questioned.
"I think so." Giles nodded.
"Then we kill him." Angel snarled. He knew how hard things had been for his redhead and he wanted to make sure she wouldn't never see anything like she had again.
"We go tonight." Spike agreed.
"Spike you can't hurt him." Xander said wrapping his arms around the blonde.
"No but I can enjoy the show when Angel does." Spike stated.
After the sun had set the group went to the hotel Ethan was at and waited for him to leave. An hour later Ethan had left and they followed him. Making sure no one was around.
"Ethan." Giles yelled making the other man turn around.
"What… what are you doing here?" Ethan stammered.
"We're here to kill you." Angel growled.
"You can't kill me." Ethan laughed.
"Oh but I can. You have been hurting my Willow and that's going to stop!" Angel said and vamped out.
"How do you know if you kill me the spell will be broken?" Ethan taunted.
"Because we found the spell you used." Xander replied.
With that said Angel jumped at the man and snapped his neck.
"It's over?" Willow asked.
"Yes Willow it is." Giles nodded.
Angel pulled Willow to him kissing her passionately. They broke apart when Willow needed to breathe.
"Angel, will you take me home? I just really want to sleep." Willow said tiredly. She was so glad this was over.
"Of course," Angel answered wrapping his arm around her waist.
"See you guys tomorrow." Xander said.
The couple walked away Willow snuggled against Angel.
"I love you." Willow said for the first time.
"I love you too." Angel smiled and kissed her before they walked into her house.
