Angled banged his fists on the door and finally gave up..there was no sound from indoors..In a frenzied panick he ran to the back of the house and lept in through the open doors...
As soon as he was inside wills room the stench of blood and seeman hit him all at once...Dread was all he had in his head now..pure unadulterated dread...for Willow for what had happened to her and whether she was alive or not.....He strained his senses to pick up a heartbeat...How ever faint he caught it...He searched the dark and saw the very still figure of willow lying on the floor next to the door into the hallway....He swore if his heart could beat it would have broken his ribs...he ran and dropped down next to her sweeping her into his arms and laying her on the bed...He quickly crossed to the doors and locked them pulling the heavy curtains across..he cursed the sun for being so near and him not being able to take her straight to hospital.....
He sat down next to her and shoed a few bits of hair of her face..
"Willow, Willow please answer me...wake up little one...come back to me...please...wake up, open your eyes.."
As he was coaxing her he noticed her lashes flutter...he kept whispering to her hoping to rouse her...
"come on wills you can do it, come on sweetheart i need you to open your eyes.."
Slowly regaining conscoiusness willow noticed she was not on the floor anymore and someone was talking to her very quietly..
"A...Angel, is that you?.."
her voice was rough and course and it hurt to open her eys but she tried anyway..
"Oh god, Willow , pet thats it wake up, tell me what happened, please, are you alright, can you sit up, what hurts,Willow answer me" "Slow down Angel, Im, Im hurt oh it hurts...my body feels like I was hit by a steam roller..Angel Oz..he lost his temper..I was trieing to get away from him..I thought he was asleep, he wasnt he attacked me and he..he ..."
She broke down into sobs..." Oh Angel, he raped me"..
What Angel already knew actually hit him then and he started to feel non existant bile come up in the back of his throat..
"Willow, Im so sorry...I felt it, I felt something was wrong...I raced straight over here...but there was no sign of Oz and you were already down,I should have protected you Im soo soo sorry..."
"you couldnt have helped..Angel he really hurt me..It feels like Im still bleeding...He took my Virginity..He stole it away from me, What am I going to do?"
Sobs wracked her body again and she collapsed back down onto the bed..It was all Angel could do from running right out into the approaching dawn, dusting himself in the process or not, and Killing the wolf where he stood!
Angel sat on the bed next to willow...it was as if he could see the fight and fire leaveing her with every strangled cry..He went to cradle her in his arms to try and give some comfort when she pulled away from him...Willow saw the hurt in his eyes but she couldnt help it...
"Im sorry love, I didnt mean to frighten you..." "you didnt..Its just Im soiled now...dirty goods...what man or vampire or werewolf is gonna want me..."
She said all this in a hushed whisper while holding her toes in a direct gaze, avoiding his eyes...*oh sweet jeezus, what has he done to you red, You arent soiled goods, your perfect,* instead out loud he said,
"Willow, look at me (she pulled her gaze up to his) You are not dirty...dont ever feel that, please...You are willow, the most beautiful girl I have ever met
*he thinks Im beautiful?* and I want to try and help you through this"
"Thankyou Angel"
