Spike was laying on the cemetary floor wounded and bleeding, he had seen the thing look at Willow like she was dinner and tried to distract him but it`d just pushed him away like an annoying pest, he knew he had to get up and go and save Will but he was in so much pain, everything hurt, he was bleeding from three or more nasty wounds and he could hardly stand on his right leg, he knew he`d broken one or two bones, and he knew he`d heal, but not even a master vampire can take as many wounds and not have to stop and call defeat, the only thing stopping him from slipping into blackness was the thought of what would happen to his Red. He was trying to stand when he heard Willow scream his name, he`d never heard anything so full of dispair and dread, paying no attention to his injuries he took off at top speed in the direction of the sound, he reached the crypt she had been hideing in, in under a minute, and when he got there what he saw made his blood run even colder, the Slothe demon had Willow in a strong hold around her waist and was trying to take a bite out of her, Willow was struggleing and pounding her fists into it with all she had but it was haveing no affect on it what so ever, he could see she was getting tired and giveing up.
He heard a ear shattering howl, and wondered for only a second where it had come from, then he realised it had come from him, he Vamped out and snarled at the demon,
"No you dont mate, let her go"
It didnt seem to hear him or either it did and it ignored him, which just served to anger him more,
"One more chance mate, let her go or loose your head"
Willow was now hanging limp in the demons arms and she looked like she was going to pass out, it had managed to take a chunk out of her shoulder and she was bleeding heavily, her orange top was stained with her own blood and the stain was steadilly getting bigger. Spikes heart almost beat in his unmoveing chest, she looked dead,
(No, She cant be, I cant loose her)
And that was the last coherent thought he had, he launched himself at the demon and kicked him in the back, he was sure he heard bones snapping but the thing kept on trying to eat Willow, he just ripped into him, clawing and slashing, biteing and pounding his fists into him, it let go of Willow and she fell to the grass with a sickening thud, Spike just carried on laying into the thing untill it was on the floor unmoveing. He was brought back to reality by a small whimper comeing from the red head laying in an awkward position on the floor, his head shot up and he scrambled on his hands and knees over to her inert form, he started to stroke her hair and coo to her trying to get her to open her eyes,
"Come on luv, wake up, Luv, Red, please open your eyes"
"Sp..Spike?"
"Yeah Luv its me,come on open your eyes, please you need to stay awake, you`ve lost alot of blood"
"Im so tired Spike, so tired"
"NO, Open your god damn eyes girl, you can not go to sleep"
"Please Spike, so tired and everything hurts, please"
"Willow, I swear to satan if you go to sleep I will never speak to you again, just stay awake, Im gonna get you to a hospital"
