Angel arrived back at the mansion at 10am, pulling a blanket off the back seat; he flew as quickly as he could into the house, head bowed low, attempting to keep away from the rays of sunlight as he shut the door.

"Angel"

Turning, Willow stood behind him, near the couch, tears pouring down her cheeks. Darting towards her, he hugged her quickly before leading her to the couch.

"What's happened?"

"Keenan appeared at the Bronze, he forced Buffy into joining his gang again, she came back in and said it was what she wanted and left but the look on her face told me it wasn't. I went to her house this morning and Joyce hadn't seen her. She was out with Keenan all night"

"She'll be at the warehouse. It's still sunny, you can't leave, and you'll go up in flames."

Horrible thoughts of what Keenan could have done to Buffy flew through his head. He couldn't wait he had to go and check if she was ok.

"The car has black tinted windows, I can go but you need to come with me"

Willow nodded and the both ran outside, Angel covered in the blanket and climbed into the car.

8 hours previously….

Shoving her through the door into the warehouse, Keenan's face looked calm but his actions were saying otherwise. Buffy looked around, loads of Keenan's mates were leering at her, she needed to find a way out of here, she had only agreed so she could get out of the alley but that looked as though it could be the worst decision of her life. Backing away as Keenan approached her, she let out a sob as he forced her too her knees. Looking up at him, he grinned, a look of pure lust in his eyes before he ripped Buffy's shirt off. Buffy closed he eyes, closing herself off to the world and the horror of what Keenan and his gang were doing to her.

6 agonising hours passed in which each of them had a turn to have a go with her, they hit her if she didn't do what they said, which was often and led her around town in the car letting most people have a turn with her.

Arriving back at the warehouse at 9am, many hours after her ordeal began, Keenan ordered Buffy home.

"If you're not back later, I swear your little ginger haired friend will be next to suffering to my boys, you got that!"

Stumbling out of the door, Buffy headed woozily away from the warehouse. Falling onto the fall, she cried out in pain as her leg was scratch by the rocks. She needed to find Angel. He was coming back today, Angel would help her. Angel would make it all better.

Climbing unsteadily to her feet Buffy began the painful walk to Angel's mansion, knowing when she got there she would be safe and protected from Keenan forever.

Arriving at the warehouse, Angel climbed out and walked with the blanket over his head into the shadows were he could walk freely. Stalking through the door with a nervous Willow close behind, Angel looked around. Many of the men in the room were asleep but the man they were looking for stood on the opposite side of the room, watching their every move.

Snarling under his breath, Angel walked as calmly as he could towards the young man.

"Where is Buffy?"

"She went home, she had a good night with us lot"

Angel could just tell something bad had happened, from the evil look of glee in Keenan's eyes and the smirk on his face.

Walking right up to Keenan, Angel grabbed him by the neck once again but this time his face morphed almost immediately.

"Tell me the truth, if you do, I may let you and your friends live"

"You would really kill us all?"

"When it comes to Buffy, I'll do anything, destroy the world if I had too"

His grip tightening around Keenan's neck, he finally gave in.

"Ok, ok, me and the boys had a little fun with her for a while"

Angel's hand began to shake slightly as Keenan's words sunk in "a little fun" he had said. Throwing him onto the floor, Angel grabbed Willow's arm, forcing her to the door and quickly running, smoking all the way to the car which he started quickly and drove off.

"They raped her didn't they Angel?"

Angel smiled momentarily; Willow could be so slow sometimes, it was what made her Willow.

"Yeah, we need to find Buffy; we don't know what state she's in"

"She's hurt, raped, she fearing for her life and just wants to be safe. Angel she'll be at the mansion, if she's scared of anything, she will come to you."

"Angel drop me off here. Buffy won't want me she'll need you first."

Pulling to a stop, before climbing out, Willow placed her hand gently on his and squeezed it momentarily before pulling him into a hug.

"She's strong, she'll get through this"

Waving at him, Willow ran off in the direction of her house and vanished from view as Angel turned the corner.

Running as quickly as he could through the sunlight, he shot indoors and curled up on the floor was Buffy. Her blonde hair matted with blood and dirt, her face already sporting a black eye and multiple bruises. Her legs covered in blood but this was not unexpected considering her ordeal. Diving towards her, Angel pulled her into his arms and watched as her green eyes looked into his. The agony behind that stare broke his heart and he held her closer. Carrying her into the bathroom, he carried her into the shower both of them fully clothed and switched it on. Sitting down of the floor underneath the warm water, Angel watch the blood and dirt wash away from her, she didn't look, her face was buried in his neck, desperately seeking comfort. After he was sure she was clean, he pulled them both out and grabbed her one of his shirts and helped her change, neither making any comment on the black bruises across her breasts and lower thighs. Love bites covered her skin, each trying to claim her as there own. Her legs could barely support her so Angel carried her to the table were he gently cleaned her wounds. She looked at him the entire time.

Raising her hand, she gently stroked his face, a single tear sliding down her cheek.

"I thought I was going to die"

Cradling her face in his hands and pressing his forehead to hers, Angel looked deeply in Buffy's eyes.

"I will never let him touch you again, I am going to kill him and every single one of his friends who did this to you, I swear."

"I have to go back tomorrow"

"Are you crazy? You can't go near him, he will hurt you again, maybe even kill you next time, and if you died a part of me would be lost forever."

Pulling her of the table he carried her to the bed, were Angel buried his face in Buffy's neck. His whole body was shaking, tears streaming down his cheeks onto her shoulder. Pulling back she gently wiped them from his face, her lips coming to his in one of the tenderest kisses they had ever shared. The kiss told them so much. There love, commitment and was a a promise, that no matter what happened they would never leave each other.
