"Someone please, she`s lost alot of blood, please you need to help her"
"Whats her name"
"Willow Rosenberg"
"Willow, Willow can you hear me"
"Please just help her, I cant loose her... please"
A pack of nurses lowered her onto a gurney and wheeled her away through a set of double doors, Spike went to follow, but was stopped by a hand on his arm, he turned almost amber eyes on the owner of said hand and snarled at him,
"You cant go with her, you need to be looked at aswell, some of these cuts look bad,"
"No, I want to go with her, Im fine"
"Please sir"
"William, and Im FINE!!!! she`s the one who needs help, look just help her please"
Okay, okay William just sit here and wait, let our people work on her, do you need to call, anyone, family, friends?"
"Oh bloody hell, there going to kill me"
The doctor took his details and Willows and then went off in the same direction as they`d taken her, Spike felt like crying, he`d never felt so strongly for anyone, not even Dru, and the girl he was so madly in love with was currently dieing in the other room. He looked around the lobby and saw what he was searching for, the phone, he took a deep un-needed breath and picked up the reciever and popped some coins into it.
The phone rang at the watchers for eight rings, Spike was about to give up and try somewhere else when a very worried sounding Giles answered the phone,
"Hello"
"Watcher..look"
"Spike is that you, where the hell are you, we`ve been going out of our minds, you were sposed to be back ages ago"
"look, watcher..Giles, just listen okay, Im in the emergency room, we ran into the Slothe Demon"
He heard the sudden intake of breath and the slayer and the moron in the back ground trying to get imformation.
"Is she..is she badly hurt Spike"
"I dont know, She...she lost alot of blood, the bloody thing took a bite out of her, Giles she was so pale, I tired to stop it but it was so bloody strong, she ran and it caught her"
"Spike..Spike calm down, which emergency room are you in?"
"The one off of forth and vine, tell the slayer to hurry"
"Okay we`ll be there soon, sit tight"
He hung up and went to sit down, he needed a smoke but didnt want to leave just incase something happened with Willow, so he sat and rocked back and forth until the watcher and the rest of the scoobies turned up. When they got there the sight that greeted them was pitiful, Xander and Buffy had wanted to kill Spike for letting this happen but when they saw him, rocking back and forth, bloody tears streaming down his cheeks, both thier hearts melted, they knew he had a crush on thier redheaded friend but they never knew he felt so strongly for her. Buffy tapped him on the shoulder and softly called his name, what he did next almost made her faint, he leapt out of his chair and clung to her sobbing, he was babbling incoherently and yelling at the same time.
"Spike, Spike calm down, tell us what happened"
"I tried Slayer, I tried to stop it, but it was so strong and big and it just kept comeing, it broke my leg and put a hole in my stomach and I couldnt see out of my left eye..."
He took a breath, not because he needed to but because even after almost two centuries as a demon he still fell back on human reaction when he was in distress, The slayer took the oppertunity to look him over, he was in awful shape aswell, he had a gapeing wound in his belly, a slash over his left eyes and he couldnt stand on his right leg, she thought she could see bone pokeing through the fabric of his jeans. He really had defended her bestfriend with everything he had, she was surprised he was even conscious, let alone keeping his human face in place.
"I believe you Spike, I do, just tell us what happened"
"The Slothe just stopped paying me any attention and looked at willow, I knew I had to get his attention back on me but when I tried to he just swatted me away, like some bloody insignificant bug, I tried to get back up and stop him but everything hurt so bad, Slayer you have to believe me I tried"
"I do, go on Spike"
"I heard Willow scream my name and I just lost it, she had run and hidden in a crypt, but it must have been able to smell her cos when I got to them the door was off its hinges and he had hold of her, he`d taken a bite out of her shoulder and she was bleeding so badly, she was trying to beat it off but it was so strong, she had no hope, then she started to pass out from blood loss, I lost it completely then, I beat it to a bloody pulp"
At least they knew it was dead and it wouldnt be back.
"She kept telling me she was tired, I tried to keep her awake, but she said she just wanted to sleep, satan if she dies, I dont think I can.."
