"So what are we going to do with her?" Buffy asked, looking up from her freshly made turkey sandwich. "I mean, we can't just let her *stay* here. She's dangerous."
"But she can't bite," Xander replied.
Everyone looked at him.
"What?" he shrugged. "I'm just saying, she can't bite, and she was in those Commando guys' place. . .maybe she can help take get us there. I really don't think that there's anything good going on there. They could be a potential enemy."
"Spoken like a true hero," Anya purred, pushing against him.
William rolled his eyes and looked away. He crossed his arms. Xander, his best friend in the entire world, was getting sex every night - and quite loudly from what he'd accidentally walked in on far too many times - and he had yet to even experience it. Granted, there was the brief fling he had with one of the girls in his Computer Lab in high school, after Miss Calendar was killed, but he later found out she was going out with him for a good grade. He'd broken up with her at that point.
"But they are helping me," Buffy replied, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. "I mean, they get a *lot* of demons."
"But I don't think they are good," William said softly. "I mean, why didn't they just dust her? Why did they put that mojo on her so she couldn't bite? Granted, I'd be dead if they hadn't. . .but still."
"William has a good point," Giles said. He sat down in his favorite chair, pulling his glasses off. He began to polish them. "Why didn't they just dust her? What is the point of taking her bite away? I doubt they let her escape. . .so what do they do to the vampires?"
Willow watched them talk about her with interest. It was a question she'd pondered herself many times. < Why didn't they bloody kill me? What did they do to me when I was unconscious, and what were they going to do to me when I escaped? >
She'd snuck out of the bathroom, wanting to see what the Scooby Gang meeting was all about. She wondered what the group would decide to do to her, trying to decide if she could escape if they chose death. She couldn't fight them, it gave her a headache that made her want to die. She glanced
towards the window. It was daylight, so she couldn't sneak out. . .
But if she could, where would she go? She couldn't really get blood on her own, not while she was as weak as she was. At least here, the delicious blonde William was trying to be nice to her and make sure she had been fed. . .
"Buffy," William said softly. "When you saw. . .Angel. . .did you mention Willow?"
Buffy snorted. "Of course not. Willow was the furthest thing from my mind when I was there with him."
< Probably shagging the soul right out of him was the only thing on your mind, Slutty, > Willow thought bitterly, still angry that her Sire - the great and awesome Angelus - had gained a soul and shagged a Slayer. < Bloody idiots. >
"Do you think Angel would take him in?" William continued, ignoring Buffy's outburst. "Maybe. . .since he's doing that whole soul redemption thing, he'd take pity on Willow and take her in."
Willow exploded, storming out. She walked right up to William and got in his face as much as she could, her eyes flashing from green to gold. "I don't need his effin' pity, you wanker!"
William blinked in mild shock. "You left the bathroom," he said.
"Of course I left the bloody bathroom!" Willow exploded, spinning around. She started to pace, her hands burrowed in her duster. "I'm stuck there, day and night, for three bloody days while you soddin' Happy Meals prance around, teasing me. 'Will we kill her, will we keep her as a pet'. . ." She turned around, in full game face. "I'm not a pet! I never have been, and I never *will* be! And I'm not going to that wanker of a Sire of mine, so you might as well bloody dust me."
Buffy stood up, Mr. Pointy falling out of her sleeve. "I'd be delighted to. Willow the Bloody, finally destroyed after all these years." She laughed.
William jumped up, stepping between the two females. "No," he said quietly. "No dusting. Buffy, sit back down."
"Will. . ." she whined, "I wanted to kill the vampire!"
"*Sit down*," Will demanded sternly, his blue eyes blazing.
Willow smirked at the Slayer over William's shoulder, wanting to stick her tongue out at the bitch.
William turned, those blazing blue eyes settling on her. She frowned slightly and looked down. "What the hell do you want?" she asked sullenly, knowing she was about to get yelled at by the blonde.
Instead of the yelling Willow was sure she would get, William was talking quietly. "I'm disappointed in you, Willow. I asked you to stay in the bathroom, because you know full well that I'm going to receive a lecture from Giles now for untying you. I was trying to help you get comfortable. . .only looking out for your needs. What do you do? You have to storm in here. *I* know you wouldn't want to go to Angel's, and I wouldn't let it go that far."
"It was your bloody idea!" Willow cried.
"As if Buffy would have let you go there with him. After what you did to him last time?"
Willow smiled, looking past Will at the wall. "That was a wonderful day. . .all those hot pokers sticking out of my Sire. . .I hadn't ever seen him look so. . .delicious." Her face looked wistful as she remembered the pain she had caused Angel that day.
"You bitch!" Buffy yelled, flying out of her chair. She slammed into Willow, knocking the vampire down. She punched Willow in the face, to which Willow responded in kind. The chip in her head went off, causing her body to quake with painful spasms. "You aren't even worth dusting. I think I'll let you live, just so you can suffer. You are finally the weak one," Buffy spat, getting off the irate vampire. She glanced at Giles. "I'm going. . .patrolling."
"It's. . .the middle of the day, Buffy," Giles said, not very surprised by his Slayer's reaction.
"I don't give a damn." She stormed out.
William helped Willow up. "You keep this up, vampire," the blonde said angrily, "and she *will* dust you. One day I won't be there to stop her." He grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the bathroom to lock her back down.
