Part1
Willow walked sobbing into the driving rain. Not giving a damn that it was well after dark and had no way of stopping evil if it came knocking!Blinded by Fear and Rage she had lost all regard for the rules Buffy had been imprinting on her psychy since the first day they had met.
All she could think about was getting the hell away from Oz!
*Goddess*
Oz, the one man to pay attention to her, treat as beautiful and love her...or so it seemed up until tonight anyway, he had taken her out of herself and created a confident woman...and then undone it all in the space of a few hours.
OZ...who had just left a nasty feeling bruise underneath her left eye!!!!All for saying NO!
She should have noticed before, should have listened to her head instead of her heart when he had started keeping very wiggy tabs on her, telling her what to wear and what to say, but a part of her just wanted to beleive her heart when it said...
"I must have done something wrong, Hes gone and realised Im not the one for him, Oz would never hurt me!!"
but he had, he`d started to get playful, kissing along her kneck and jaw line and nibbling her ear...plundering her mouth with hard kisses, trying to explore every inch of her body with his tongue...and she`d said NO...several times but he just tried harder, pinning her to the couch, not letting her up untill finally, she had been so scared he wouldnt stop she had sunk her teeth into his shoulder making him reel back and punch her straight in the eye. All she could think of then was running, running from Oz and and her own home into the deadly dark night just to get away from him.
*Goddess*
she could only imagine the bruises that were just now starting to show all over her body, she didnt even notice the rain, the pain in the muscles that she didnt know were there was to much to contend with. She just walked blindly for hours until finally she had looked up and realised she was on the driveway up to the mansion on Crawford street, Only then did she glance at her watch..
*3 hours, 2am , Ive been wandering for 3 fucking hours all because that prick couldnt keep his hands to himself and had gotten bored of waiting. Oh he had been patient enough in the beginning saying "I want you to be ready, It has to be perfect for our first time" then he`d had enough and wasnt gonna wait any longer* .
"FUCK" she yelled at the top of her voice "How could i have been so STUPID"
She gathered her thoughts and realised she should get indoors, *that would really be the iceing on the cake..nearly raped and then turned into one of Spikes walking happy meals..perfect!*
Part2
She gentley tapped on Angels door, not really expecting him to be there
* after all 2am to a crusading vampire is like noon to me*.
As she waited for him to answer she wondered why she had ended up here, shed been thinkng alot about the brooding beauty lately. After he had dropped back into there lives from the hell dimension he had been suffering in for 100 years, Buffy and he decided to go there seperate ways...Still working together for the greater good (at the moment that being the Mayor) but had decided against a personal life together!
And so when he had come and knocked on her french windows one night she had invited him back in and cradled him in her arms untill just before dawn listening to him cry over the loss of his love with Buffy.
Since then they had been spending spare nights together talking, watching movies and T.V,
*yea the broody 246 year old actually watches t.v*...
and generally getting to know each other...Willow let out a little sigh.
Angel sat stareing at the roaring fire, every so often glancing at the clock over the hearth.1.40am..he should be out patrolling at least...helping Buffy in the fight against evil, but he just didnt have it in him tonight, he had no energy, he was drained. Something was waying on his unbeating heart, it was heavy and it hurt but he didnt know what it was, it was unnerving him, he didnt like it. Suddenly his thoughts drifted back to willow, every so often the flames reminding him of her auban hair,
*swaying in the moonlight like the waves of the incomeing tide*
*I shouldnt be haveing these thoughts about my little readheaded witch...oh crap did i just say My witch...We are only friends she is Buffys best friend and she has the love of her life in the wolf boy..she couldnt possibly think of me like that...GIVE IT UP.*
He sat there for what seemed like hours in reality it was only about 20 minutes..finally he dragged himself off of the couch and headed towards the door dragging his duster on as he went
"im going on patrol..maybe find something i can beat the snot out of"
..just as he reached for the door a light tap sounded on the other side..his game face, as the scoobys called it, shifting into place he flung the door open only to be greated by the sight of a dripping wet very frightend looking Willow stood on the other side. His demon immediately subsied and human face came back to the front. She looked like she was going to collapse at any moment so he swept her into his arms encircling her in his coat and popped her down gently onto the couch.
"Willow ...whats wrong?, what happened are you all right"
he threw at her in a barrage of questions...
*thank goddess he was in*willow inwardly sighed.
"willow answer me please your scareing the hell out of"
...suddenly her defenses shifted throwing up her barriers..and she just stared at him blankly...eventually
"i just need to get out of the wet clothes.do you still have a spare set of Buffs here?"
she looked at him worry behind his chocolate eyes, he just nodded and moved off to get them for her. He came back with the clothes a minute later. She felt to ashamed to tell him what had happened..
*He`ll think im a slut...!*
Part3
Angel immediatly straightened taking in her full appearence, sopping wet tangles of hair, torn clothes and the slightest hint of a bruise forming under her left eye,
"Wills PLEASE tell me what happened I need to know",
*oh goddess I cant tell him he will think I lead him on*,"nothing,I said i just need to get out of these sopping wet things".
*What isnt she telling, I know somethings happened, I swear if anyones hurt her i will rip off there head and drink from the wound*.
..once he`d given her the grey sweat pants and white tee Willow started to undress, not paying attention to the fact Angel was still watching and waiting for answers...Or at least choosing to ignore the fact,She peeled of the soaked clothes and Angel saw bruise after bruise revealed and then hastely recovered. There were handprints made out in yellowish marks going down her arms and across her shoulders, scratches on her back and behind, and a deep gash running over the top of her breast and dissapearing under the material of her bra...
Angels demon was bubbleing and burning ready to snap the kneck of whoever had laid their hands on her in anger...just able to keep his voice even he asked..
"who did this to you love?"
Willow could feel the rage ebbing off him like rays of hot sunlight, she could hear it seeping through into his words.Finally after agonizing seconds Angel heard..
"Oz"
barely catching it, and wouldnt have done if it wasnt for his supernatural hearing.
Angel lost all control, his Vamperic ridges showing through on his human face, he started destroying things getting hold of anything in his path and tearing it to shreds, finally his subsided long enough for him to hear soft sobbing as willow hid behind her lanky, stringy hair...He wrapped her in his strong arms just as her knees buckled underneath her and quickly lowered her to her seat again,
"oh love, Willow, Im sorry I didnt mean to loose control..I..I just cant stand the thought of someone hurting you, sweeteheart, look at me ..please I need to see your face"
She slowly brought her head up so he could see the tracks that her salty tears had left on her pale porcelain skin..
"What happened?"
As she told him inbetween hiccupped sobs and loud sniffles he could feel his grip slipping again, Every sentence made him more angry and ready to go out find wolf boy and tear limb from limb, all while still conscious...once she had finished and calmed a little he told her to go into the bathroom and remove her clothes, a slow blush krept across her cheeks, Angel noticing, said...
"I want to clean and dress you cuts Willow"
Willow nodded nervously and stood up steadying herself on Angels leg, as she did a wave of heat went through him...
*stop that you git, she needs your help not you doing exactly what that prick has just done*
Willow turned to stare at Angel breifly and he said
"what is it,pet?" , "I dont know where the bathroom is.."
with a soft chuckle Angel said..
"two doors down and on your left"
As she struggled to leave the room without falling Angel knew she needed help but it was all he could do to stop the demon from slipping through again, he was already takeing long drawn out uneeded breaths to try and calm himself...everytime he thought about what Oz had done he sarted to loose it...
*just dont think about it, go and help her, now.*
Once he`d got himself under control he followed in the same direction Willow had dissapeared..
Part4
She sat in the bathroom on the edge of the tub, takeing deep breaths and waiting for Angel to come in, it took him a while and so her mind started to wander...
*Goddess what did I do to deserve this, I must have done something trueful awful to have Oz turn on me like that*...
She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didnt notice the dark vampire enter the room and start to fill the basin with hot bubbleing water and pick up the sponge to start soaking away the blood that had dried on her skin , and the blood that was still oozing from the gash on her breast..
Once she had snapped out of her self beration she felt the crimson color of embarresment spread across her face again...
"DON`T, dont do that, dont blush you have nothing to be ashamed of, If anything the wolf should be being beaten a bloody pulp..you shouldnt be blushing pet, you`ve done nothing wrong!"..
As Angels harsh words snapped her out of the silence she had taken , one fat glistening tear rolled down her bruised cheek and she started to shake as what had happened truely hit her full in the face...
"A...Angel..Oh goddess what have i done...I must have asked for this is some way...I deserved..I must have done why else would he have tried to..tried to...do what he did to me.....?"
Angel was almost in tears himself, his eyes hurt from the unshed droplets..*how could she think that, look at her, shes so helpless what could she possibly have done to deserve such treatment*
Out loud he said.."Wills,listen to me..Listen, You did not ask for this, you did not ask to be beaten and bruised and asaulted by the one person you trusted most"..
"No?...then why did he do it? why did i end up haveing to run from my own home to get away from him................?"
she drifted off..
Angel dispaired...what could he say to the redhead to convince her this wasn`t her fault......?
"willow"
Angel cupped her face in his large caloused hands, looking straight into her peircing emerald eyes he said,...
"He will never hurt you again, I wont allow it to happen again, at some point he will probably realise what he`s done and how stupid he was, and when he does if he comes within fifty feet of you I will kill him...you are not going back to him you are staying here with me until we know its safe at your house....Its not a threat,Its not me being macho, Its a promise...if he ever touches you again i WILL kill him..."
even as Angel said those cruel words she knew he meant them from the bottom of his soul...and she wasnt sure if she was releived or afraid...Oz had been her life for a year now and she didnt know if she could give that up even if it meant going back to a man who she thought might hit her again....
She chose not to share that with Angel...she didnt want to worry him....she just nodded and started to drift off to sleep in his embrace...
Angel grabbed a towel and wrapped willows broken body in it...carrying her to his room he placed her under the covers and gently lowered her head to the pillows...she was already asleep............he sat and watched her for hours until finally it was nearing dawn and he needed to get some sleep of his own...so he went to the guest room and slept fitfully for a few hours.......
Willow rose from the bed at just after 11am...acheing all over and needing to stretch she got out of bed, went to the bathroom and retrieved her borrowed clothes and checked her appearence in the mirror..*Ive seen better,but hey under the circomstances i look like may queen*....
Willow sat on the couch and thought to herslf about her situation..she needed to see Oz...no matter what he had done he was her boyfriend and she needed to sort this out...maybe she could try again with him.....She knew Angel would disaprove so she left swiftly before he could awaken...leaveing him a note and hopeing he would understand...
Walking towards her house, Oz stepped out of the shadow of an alleyway, he grabbed her arm and was cutting off the circulation when he siad..
"Im sorry Willow..I was wrong to do what i did...I just lost my cool Ive been waiting for so long now that i just had to have you...I wanted to take you right there...I promise i will never do it again..I swear.......please beleive me...."
As she heard the words a flicker of hope registered deep in her heart and she hugged Oz tightly and said..
"thats...Oh...I cant make any promises ...we need to talk"
Oz wondered where she had been..but thought it was best to leave it for now..she had just excepted his appolagies and he didnt want to rock the boat so soon...he would find out though...and if he found out she had been where he thought she had...she would pay....
Part5
Angel awoke at 3pm...he shot out of bed a feeling of impending dread settling in his stomach..he ran into his bedrom and found the sheets ruffled but empty..he shot through the entire house looking for the redhead..but there was no sign of her....eventually he sank down into a chair in defeat...realing from the loss of her warnth from his house..he wanted to protect her keep her safe and most of all he wanted to tear the wolf to peices right there, right now, the only explanation he could come up with to willows where abouts was that she had gone back to Oz to try and talk things out..he prayed she hadnt because that would endanger her even more..he began to get restless again paceing around the place waiting for daylight to fall and night to rise so he could go and make sure she was safe...finally his eyes settled on the note willow had left..
(Dear Angel,
I am writing this while trying to figure out my own feelings...I...the little tree for once in my life dont know what the hell to do with myself! I am so greatful to you for takeing me in and tenderly careing for me the way you did...I begin to wander though whether or not it was just because I am Buffys best friend or because there is something more between us...which quite frankly scares me...Oh um...no offense meant..but I have to go back to Oz...I know you wont approve so I have left when you arent able to talk me out of it...I love Oz.. I love Oz and no matter what he has done I have to see this through to the end..Even if it means I get myself hurt...
Promise to stay well for me and dont waste energy worrieing about me
Luv Wills)
*oh willow...please be okay..I need you to be okay.......I love you*
Shocked at his last thought Angel sat stunned for a good half an hour......not knowing whether to move or not..wondering if he did his heart might break into a thousnad peices.....
Half way across town Willow sat stareing at Oz perched on the other end of the sofa stareing intently back at her...she realised she had no idea what to say to him...she loved him, she new that ..but all the time she was stareing at him her mind kept drifting back to the way Angel had touched her.the worry on his face the pure rage he exhibitted when she had finally revealed what had happened..She snapped herself out of it and forced herself to focus on Oz...
"I.."
"Will"
"sorry you go first...."
Oz didnt need to be told twice ....he launched into his prepared speech about how he was sorry and would never do it again and he loved her and wanted to be with her...silently he added *and you will always be mine...I have marked you and wont let you go, especially not to him..*
"Will, I have to ask...*is she going to tell the truth*...where were you last night?" *I can smell him on her...its faint but its definately his scent*....
With out even regestering it she began to blush, she quickly squashed the feeling though because of how it must look to Oz..
"I stayed at Angels..."
A slow growl slipped from Oz`s throat and his eyes flashed a icey shade of yellow, he got a hold on himself before he thought willow had caught it, and ground out...
"that was cool of him, him letting you stay like that"
through his clenched jaw....*I knew it I knew I could smell that broody soulful git on her...He best not be getting any ideas or so help me next full moon I will leave myself uncaged and let the wolf have some fun*...oz thought steam would actually poor out of his ears...in an effort to calm himself down he carried on talking...
"so are we Bronzin it tonight then will?*
he asked as if last night didnt happen...Willow was shocked oz thought she hadnt seen his quick show of temper but she had...and it more than frightened her..and as for the bronze, she just fealt like crawling under her covers and never leaving again...and even if she did feel like it, a night out at the bronze wasnt gonna fix everything up all shiny and new, but something told her voicing those oppinios would be a very very bad idea...so she just kept her mouth shut....
Part6
Three weeks had passed and things were getting steadily worse, Oz wouldnt let her out of his sight with out asking a tirade of questions about where she was going....the only peace she got was in class....Buffy and Xander had noticed her withdrawn behavior and asked questions and she just feigned sickness or fatigue from studying for graduation or the latest evil they were fighting...and what made it worse was she hadnt been able to be alone with Angel at all since that night...
Willow and Oz had just returned home from the bronze, (he`d practically moved in seen as sheila and Ira, willows parents were never there anymore..always away on a some buisness trip or another) and willow was still fumeing from the way he had behaved...Some guy from her buissness studys class had come up to her and asked if she had the notes for yesturday cos he wasnt there and so she had been longer than usual comeing back from the bathroom...Oz had immediately jumped out of his seat and possesively grabbed her arm leaveing finger marks and snarled at the poor guy...he actually snarled at him...Wills was rarely allowed to leave his side now...he always had one arm gripped around her waste....and when she did try and pry herself free she would get the insessant questioning...
"where are you going, how long will you be, what are you doing?"
...It was quite frankly scarey as hell....she needed her space...she was a feircely independant girl/woman...what ever she was,she certainly wasnt a lap dog or doormatt..but something in Oz`s eyes told her not to question him or fight back...
Angel sat once again in front of the fire thinking about his weeping Willow..hopeing against hope she was safe...He had been able to get her alone since that night three weeks previouse and it was driving him to distraction..He needed to speak to her..see that she was unhurt with his own eyes, close up instead of haveing to stare forlornly from a distance..Oz had been getting more and more possesive...he didnt think he had hit or harmed her again but Angel could tell he was on the verge of it and he wasnt going to be able to stop it...
Once again he settled down for night filled with tossing and turning and crying out willows name in his sleep...he had a bad feeling but tried to shake it off as his overactive imagination..
At about 4am he shot out of his bed..no remnants of sleep anywhere in him...Willow was hurt..he could feel it...Like a peice of him was detached and bleeding...He only had two hours until sunrise but he would gladly burn if it meant getting to her..He grabbed his duster and ran out of the mansion, not even bothering to shut the door on his way...
Part7
Willow wasnt asleep...it was 3:30am but she wasnt asleep...she had, had enough. She was going to leave and it was gonna be now...she didnt know where she was going, but anywhere was better than here...her heart had finally caught up with her head and she needed to get out...It was frightening to think that the man next to her was probably capable of takeing her life if he thought she was going to flee him...So five minutes later she started to creep out of bed and get dressed...
Oz wasnt asleep either but he had become very good at appearing as if he was..he felt will stretch then tense then the weight shift as she extracated herself from their bed...*what does she think shes doing..I can see her trying to get dressed in the dark...this is it she is going to leave me...Over my dead body* Oz leapt off the bead and tackled Willow..bringing her to the ground underneath him...She squeeled and then went silent as her head hit the floor with a thump...She wasnt unconsoiuse just very dazed...
She had almost reached the door when he had errupted from the bed...he had obviously been awake..*shit* she struggled then shreiked, then her head hit the floor with a sickening thud...she couldnt get her head off the floor she was to dizzy..all of her furniture was flying above her head...she closed her eyes...that only made it worse...She stiffened as Oz started ripping at her clothes...He tore through her shirt to reveal a white cotton bra...he started biteng her breasts...goddess it hurt..but she couldnt move, his weight was pinning her down..He had her arms held above her head with one hand and his other was trying to undo the zipper on her jeans...
"OZ .. NO.. NO...what are you doing!?!?!"
.. he hit her round the face...
"shut up SLUT...Im going to have you and you arent going to stop me...how dare you go to him how dare you leave me for him...Your mine I have marked you, you are my mate...no getting away.."
He was ranting she knew that..but she didnt know what about...
"who...who are you talking about...?" she screamed at him..
"Angel of cause you dumb bitch"..
Oh god he thought she was...doing whatever with Angel...Not that she didnt want to but she was with him..she loved him...Or she did love him but tonight had made it clear to her that she was in danger!..
Willow braced herself for the intrusion..the pain and the hurt...he straddled her pushing her legs apart wih his own...he had gotten her jeans off and had just scraped her panties off...He was exploreing her sex with his fingers...but she was so dry from fright that it was rough and hurting..she tried to force herself to relax her body...trying to make the innevitable less painful..
As Oz plunged three very thick fingers inside her she cried out in protest and tried to shut her legs but he was keeping them open with his...he pumped into her for about a minute and then withdrew his fingers...she let out a breath she wasnt aware she`d been holding...
She heard a zipper being pulled down as he free`d his very hard cock...willows eyes bulged...
*Oh goddess some one save me...I dont want this"...
But he had long since shoved some of her shirt material into her mouth to stop her screaming at him again....He spread her legs wider and and lowered himself down onto her...just when his seeping head was at her opening he laughed..not really a loud laugh but a chuckle..deep in his throat...
He Plunged into her breaking the barrier of her virginity...she whimpered behind the cloth..He stopped for a second as if considering something and then grabbed both of her ankles, pulling them up next to his head...she tried to struggle but he was too strong..Then he pound into her again and again faster and faster..going a little deeper with every thrust...she cried...her cheeks were soaking by then but she had no way to stop this...*One last thought before the blackness claimed her..
*Angel help*....
Oz carried on pushing himself into her up to the hilt ...when he felt his balls constricting ready to cum he pushed two fingers inside her tight ass...God it felt so good to be claiming what was finally his...he gave two hard thrusts and then shot his seed inside her...
He removed himself and his fingers and got up...zipping his baggy pants back up ready to deposite her on the bed and claim her again when he heard a thumping on the fromt door....
*shit*
He sniffed the air and ran straight out of willows french doors in the oppositte direction to the front of the house...
Part8
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"
Part9
Eventually Angel felt her breathing even out and slow a little...she was asleep..which was good she needed to rest until he could take her to the hospital after sunset...He didnt know what to do...For once his Demon was in complete agreement with his soul...Kill,Crush,Destroy the wolf and then sperate his parts to the four corners of Sunnydale...Even Angelus could see the special qualitys in the redhaired witch and he railed at the idea of her being in so much pain...Dogboy was most definatly going to pay for this...slowly and with as much pain he had caused Willow...
Angel had started to drift off when he heard willow scream...he was awake instantly...she was thrashing around on the bed trying to hit out at anyting in her path.....but she had her eyes closed..it was a nightmare and it made his heart contract..he wanted to wake her but he was afraid she would think he was trying to hurt her...but as the words "no no oz please no" come out of her mouth he couldnt stand it anymore....He stroked her hair and soothingly said
"come back to willow, come back its a dream, he cant hurt you anymore love, come back to me"...
Willow was dreaming she knew she was dreaming but it all seemed so real...then she heard a soulful silky voice calling to her..telling her to come back...so she did..and as she opened her eys she saw Angel stareing at her intently with sorrow and pity in his eyes...and the slightset hint of something else aswell...she wasnt quite sure but she thought she saw longing in the chocolate colored pools....and in that instant she new, even if he didnt feel the same way, she loved him...with all her heart...but nothing could come of it....it wasnt that he was her best friends ex, Buffy had already moved on and had told willow that she thought Angel should too...it was that he couldnt get happy...or they would end up with Angelus stalking them all again....Even in her present state she made a mental note to look into anchoring his soul...not just for her but for him...he deserved to be happy whoever he ended up with...
Angel stroked her face with the tips of his fingers...gently whispering to her to relax...he should really help her up and into the bathroom to get herself cleaned up, but he was being selfish..he didnt want to let go of her,Ever!
Strangely he felt no guilt for the way he was thinking about Willow...she was truely the Angel..and he wanted to give her back her wings...buffy had moved on..why couldnt he......*if it werent for that fucking curse*...chastising himself for thinking about that kind of thing at the moment....
He stood up and carried willow to the bathroom..thankfully it was west faceing and had a very thick blind across the window...so no danger of him spontaniosly combusting....Willow didnt even protest..she new she should get cleaned up and try to get dressed..she was just reveling in the feel of Angels arms around her...comforting and safe and secure...this felt right.....
They entered the bathroom and he put on the edge of the tub like she had been at his place...he hesitated...
"Do you want me to clean you up or do you feel up to doing it yourself...?"
Willow got embaressed then, realising she was only wearing her bra...and was in an awful mess...she looked at him and said
"I think I`ll have a bath...I need to soak away the bruises"
"Okay i will be in your room `Kay" "yea okay," he went to leave and she put a hand on his arm, "what is is sweetheart?" "I just wanted to say Thankyou again" "No need your welcome"
He shut the door on the way out and leaned up against it...sighing he went to sit in her room but could just make out the soft sounds of her crying again...He didnt go back in the bathroom..she needed her privacy...but he stood there listening all the time she was soaking in the tub...*god i want to hold her, kiss away all the hurt...* when he heard her getting out of the tub he scooted into her room..
Willow eased herself down into the warm water..instantly soothing her acheing muscles...every time she closed her eyes she saw Oz looming over her and chuckleing...so she began to cry softly..not wanting Angel to hear her...She was in there for about 20 minutes and then decided to get out and get dressed...She dried herself off carefully and put on sweats and a black baggy tee...she went to go back into her room but something made her stop and take a deep breath...*here we go..time to face up to it*
Angel watched as willow entered her room...he was sat on the chair in front of her laptop..She was pale and withered looking...she looked like she needed to sleep for a month..so he got up and lead her to her bed...gently laying her down..he felt her tense and mentally kicked himself "Its ok love, Im not gonna hurt you, but you need to sleep, come on lay down, get some rest.." "I know your not going to hurt me its just...I dont want you to leave.." "will I couldnt leave even if I wanted to...Its another 4 hours to sunset..and I wouldnt leave you like this anyway..I`ll stay, make sure you are fine and then when you wake up, we need to talk OK" "okay, just dont go anywhere...i dont want to be alone.."
Willow settled down to snooze and just before she dropped off she snaked her arm out and squeezed his hand..Angel took hold and didnt let go until she woke up...
She awoke just before sunset and she felt a little better...and was releived to see Angel still sat next to her bed holding onto her hand...she sighed and he looked up..."how are you feeling pet?" "i dont know...funny, but im holding up i spose.."
"Right...I need to ask you a few questions and then Im getting you to the hospital, get you checked out..." She tensed and let go of his hand..."I dont want to go to the hospital...I dont want to go anywhere...but I cant stay here..Everytime i close my eyes..I see Oz...Oh goddess.." "Its okay you can come to the mansion...but you have to go get checked out..." "I cant Angel...Im scared of what they will think of me...What if they think I let him..." Her voice trailed off and Angel tipped her chin up to look in her eyes.."Willow, sweetheart, you have to get checked and make sure theres nothing wrong, please"..he begged her, but still she shook her head...He was very worried about her..*what if hes done some permanent damage..she needs to see a doctor..*.. he took her hand and still looking in her eyes he said..."Willow PLEASE, you need to make sure he hasnt...(he hesitated..not wanting to worry her..)..done any permanent damage.." She was adament..."I am not going to the doctors...not now, not ever...Okay..I cant face it, Im grateful for what you`ve done but I am not going to the hospital...Got it?"
He despaired...he needed to make sure she was healthy but she wouldnt let him..."okay willow, but if he has hurt you inside...Im not going to be responsible for my actions..."..She shuddered then nodded in his direction ." Im haveing trouble keeping myself from going and finding him now as it is."
Part10
They had packed up a few things , clothes books, etc that willow needed and had headed over to Angels...Half way there she had almost collapsed from loss of blood and tiredness...He had carried her and her stuff the rest of the way home..not stopping until she was safely in front of a roaring fire..
"how are you love?" "fine, just trying not to think about it too much"...she had her knees tucked up underneath herself and was leaning her head on his shoulder..."oh shit..do you have phone line..I need my laptop...Ive got some stuff I need to look up, its kind of important?..".." yea..I will go and get it for you..I wont be long.I promise..I will be ten minutes..is there anything else you need?"
An inate fear spread through willows body...It was uncontrollable and very frightening.She knew Angel had to go and get her some stuff...and she knew that he wouldnt be more than ten or fifteen minutes...but somewhere deep inside a wide eye`d hysterical, child like voice was screaming at her not to let him go...
*he wont come back, he`ll tell Oz where I am,*
She knew this was all nonsense but it didnt stop all the color draining from her already pale face and all her muscles shakeing and spasming at once...
Angel looked over to the little redhead and was stunned into a strange silence...At his words she had paled and begun to shake and was clutching her legs to her chest and rocking back and foreward...Angel realised in that instant what was wrong...she had been putting a brave face on it...she was actually terrified, she couldnt stand to be alone..even if only for ten minutes.
He was by her side instantly.."willow, huney, can you hear me?..come on pet, stop shakeing Im still here..."
Still she shook, and rocked back and foreward...
She couldnt see anything...her vision had receded to a small black point..and the voice comeing to was muffled and unintellagable...All she could to was shake, rock and think the words over and over again,
*dont leave me, dont leave, dont leave me,*
Angel wrapped his arms round her and tried to comfort her but it seemed as if she wasnt there...like she had retreated inside herself...to some place she couldnt hear or see anything, where nothing could hurt her...Angel was starting to panick if she kept on like this she would pass out...He took her wrists in his and pulled her upright...he hated to do it but he had to,
"WILLOW"
He yelled at the top his voice and she suddenly snapped out of it..like he`d flipped a switch...and just as he`d flipped a switch to her awareness, he`d flipped a switch for her emotions..and she was on the floor in and instant curled into a fetal posision, sobs wracking her body...
Angel cradled her in his arms and carried her to his bed...he stroked her head and held her against him to try and reasure her that he was still there...eventually the crying slowed to a sniffle and then a stop...she clutched at his shirt and refused to let go of him..He stroked her head and cooed soothing words in her ear and when she was eventually asleep he slipped out from underneath her body, laying her gently to the pillows...he didnt want to leave her but if she needed her stuff, she needed her stuff, and he needed to go and get some more blood packs, he was running very low...he`d be no good to her if blood lust over took him...
He slipped out of the front door, vowing to be no more than thirty minutes..and then he was off...literally at a run, duster blowing behind him in the wind..he was at willows in less than five minutes, only something that a vampire or slayer could have done, *Oh satan, I should tell buffy...she will be worried sick...yet she hasnt come to see if I know where willow is has she..does she even know willow is gone" He decided to forget about it for now..as he entered through wills french doors as he had earlier, the overpowering scent of sweat, blood, fear, seeman, all rolled into one...but what asaulted his senses the most was Oz`s distinctive wolf boy scent...he almost heaved..even though his body had no need for such functions as a gag reflex...He instantly vamped out...He moved quickly gathering the laptop off of willows desk and popping it all in a bag he found under the bed..He didnt want to risk breaking her pride and joy..As he went to leave, he halted and his head shot up, eyes flashing golden...
"Show yourself, I have no time for games"
No answer came...he reached into the darkness and halled a very frightened looking Oz out by his hair...
"what are YOU doing here..." "I...I was looking for willow...where is she.." "no where you can get to her.."
His Demon instincts takeing over he pushed him up against the wall and was about to rip his throat out when he remembered Willow and stopped, he couldnt leave her much longer and he still needed blood...lowering him to the floor he said through grateing teeth
"YOU WILL KEEP LITTLE DOG....dont think I wont find you and make you pay for what you`ve done...right now I need to get back..You will keep"
With that he was gone and Oz was slumping to the floor...*god, what have I done...very very bad idea...pissing off a big bad...*
And then Oz was running into the night...*I`ll be back to collect whats mine...dont you worry Angel..I`ll return*
Part11
Willow woke to find herself still in Angels embrace..and she was quieted instantly...he was still here and she was safe...
Angel had just sat back on the bed and taken her in arms as she had started to stir...
"A..Angel?" , "yes luv" , "I thought you would have left".
He opted for honesty..."I did sweetheart, I had to go and get some supplys and so I went and got your laptop aswell" "oh....but you came back" "of course I came back little one, I wasnt going to dessert you when you needed me most.."
That seemed to calm her...inadvertantly he had proven he would always come back to her, and he was releaved..he didnt want to have her lose any more trust in anyone else...After all he loved her...
Part12
It had been a week sinse her attack and she seemed to be getting more confident..the following day after he had run in to Oz though he had broached to subject of telling her friends what had happened...she flatly refused..saying that Buffy would find and kill Oz and then she would end up in prison...and who would save the world from the heelmouth then...he had conceded, but said she would have to think up a "Bloody good excuse" as he put it, for her being at his place....she had looked hurt and he had regretted his words straight away
"luv, willow, Im sorry that wasnt what I meant it to sound like..I just meant that as much as we love buff, she is a nosey blonde, which is one of the things that make her a successful slayer..but she will surely have her curiosity peaked if your staying here..."
"I will tell her that I dont want to stay at my house alone..and she is too buissy with slaying...she`ll buy it...why would I lie..well usually I wouldnt but..."
As she trailed off her babbling she looked sheepish...
"its okay..I`ll tell her okay..." "thankyou Angel"
That had been six days ago and she had seemed to be comeing back out of her shell...slowly...she still couldnt face outside life but that would come in time...
He had been able to leave her alone a little more aswell...So he had gone out patrolling one that night with Buffy...and as expected she thought there was more to it than just loneliness, but when Angel had said
"she just doesnt feel safe at home on her own....I suppose its with Faith running around doing evil deeds for that ass of a Mayor", she had dropped it then reasoning that he was probably right..He was still anxiose to get back though..he didnt like to leave her...it was a full moon and he was scared for her safety...Oz could be loose in wolf form..even though no one had seen him in a week..since there little run in..he had squeezed willy..literally..but he hadnt heard of seen anything..So when he eventially got off patrol he hurried home..
The minute he stepped over the threshold the scent of willows rich blood hit his nostrals.. He slipped in to vamp mode and stalked towards the living room...sat on the couch flipping through the channels on the t.v was willow...she didnt seem in danger so he squashed the demon back down...he went to sit next to her and she nearly jumped out of her skin...
"hi"
"hi"
"you alright..sorry i was so long, and I didnt mean to startle you"
"thats okay...just jumpy,sorry"
"dont be sorry"
The scent was still strong..he moved away from her and inhaled...he followed the scent from willow into the bathroom...
Willow stiffened...he was in the bathroom..she could hear him searching *what if he finds it...goddess what will he say, will he angry..*
Angel stalked into the bathroom and started rummaging...realisation washing over him *oh satan, willow please dont be what i think that is*...He rummaged behing the sink and found wrapped in a little bit of tissue a rusty looking blood covered razor blade...he had to steady himself...he took a moment to calm himself and snatched it up and went out into the living room..
he knelt down in front of her and tipped her chin too look in her eyes...she looked like a dear caught in headlights....
"Why?"
"why what?" "i dont know what your asking"
He sniffed and followed the scent to her abdomine...he went to life up her jumper and she held his hands..stopping him from going any further...she looked at him pleading in her eyes...he ignored it and carried on lifting her top...
She hissed and winced as the material brushed her open wounds...
He took in an uneeded breath and almost cryed...*how could she do this to herself*.*such beautiful skin..why?...*
Willow had tears glistening in her eyes..he wasnt sure if it was from pain or realisation that he had found out about her secret...She had been cutting herself...criss crossed patterns ran across her stomach..some deep some not so..and then there were erattic slashes that looked like they had gotten inffected...
"Why?" he asked again..barely being able to keep the emotions from his voice...
She started to stand and push his arms away...*oh goddess he knows..I cant look at him...he`s ashamed..disgusted* she bolted...she made it to the bathroom and locked the door before he had chance to register her moveing...he took a moment to collect himself and headed toward the bathroom...He stood outside the bathroom and heard the water in the sink start to run...something hit him *shit..what if she has more blades..oh shit..I have to get in there...please let her only have had the one...
he tapped on the door.."willow, luv, come out,please...we need to talk"..no answer..he tried again.."those need to be treated wills..let me in"...he started to get angry when she didnt answer "willow, damn it let me in for gods sake..we need to talk"..thats when he heard a muffled "go away"..and a little yelp of pain..he was scared witless by then and was about ready to break the door down...
Willow heard him settle outside the door and tap..she didnt respond..not even after a minute he had gotten angry..all she could focus on was the blade she had stashed..in her hand..she was dragging it along her arms in a downward motion...leaveing large deep cuts runing from the crook of her elbow to just before her hand..
"willow Im gonna break down that door and drag you out of there"..came through the door.."NO,NO PLEASE dont break the door down you cant come in and i cant come out" "just leave me alone, im fine"...then she hissed through her teeth as the pain hit her in waves...
He could practically taste the blood it lay so thick in the air...he was so worryed he had slipped into game face long ago...he had had enough..he was going to force his way in..
All the time she had been carving lines into her arm...*goddess...this is the release from the pain that i craved..I need to feel clean and pure...I cant hurt him..so i have to hurt myself...its the only way*...She heard a grunt as Angel slammed up up against the door with his shoulder...*damned fucking oak* was all he thought as he finally came crashing through the door...
Willow had sunk to her knees and was bleeding badly...he could see a couple of the cuts on her stomach bleedy through her jumper..and the scent of blood was over poweringWillow still held the blade in her left hand...she was just slumped there..eyes half closed...not really focusing on anything...
Angel could hear her heart beat slow rappidly and was in a panic..*my god..willow..are you okay*...out loud he let out a strangled cry and heaved her into his arms...mindful of her injurys he carried her out into the lounge and laid her on the sofa....she was loosing consousness fast and if that happened he would loose her for good...
"Willow, willow luv, love please..listen to me..open your eyes..please...dont leave me...Im gonna get you to a hospital..youve lost so much blood...I cant help you here."
Her eyelashes fluttered and she looked at him with almost lifeles green eyes..
"No"..she rattled out weakly.."I..I..Angel..I dont want to go to hospital"..dragging in a breath she continued..."please let me go..I cant live with it..the shame the hurt..the pain"...
Angel felt tears dampen his cheeks..he couldnt loose her..."no willow listen to me you need blood you lost alot..please I cant loose you...not now..not when I have just realised what I have...please...Wills..I..I love you..more than my own unlife..please..live for me..."
"Even if i wanted to i couldnt stay now..I can feel my self slipping away...Angel...I love you too...Always..even in death I will love you"..
Angel knew she was right..he couldnt save her by getting her to hospital..but he could save her in another way...He opened his wrist without even thinking and pressed it too her lips, "drink willow please..drink..."she was reluctant at first but then he felt her grip his wrist with her mouth..."then the throws of death took her..he felt pain go through his undead heart..*what would she say..what she think of him*...*I just couldnt loose you willow*..
He hurried around the mansion finally setting his eyes on her laptop....he went to it..frantically searching the files...eventually he came upon the spell he wanted..it was the soul restoration spell...he had everything he needed right here in the mansion....he prepared and then performed the ritual...and then he waited..*im sorry willow, i couldnt let you go*....
Part13
She opened her eyes...a thirst over took her like no other...a hunger, a need...Angel had been watching his dead childe...he needed her to awake...to see that she didnt hate him for what he had done...
"willow?"
"Angel?"
Her vioce was very faint but he could still hear it...
"Angel..I..I need to feed...It hurts...i cant think straight...Angel..Im a vampire..."
"Baby..I know..sweetheart..Im so sorry, I just couldnt loose you, ive neverfelt like this before, i needed you to live for me, with out you i would have been going to greet the sun,"
"No, why didnt you let me go, now i have to live with an eternity of pain,"
"shhh baby, sure, you need to feed...."
He handed her the mug he had in his hand and she drank...deeply...she needed this to survive...
"Angel why arnt I all GRRR?" she asked after she had finished...he couldnt help it chuckled slightly..."I performed the soul restoration spell for you...I couldnt have you all GRRR as you put it..i wanted my willow..."
"your willow?"
the memorys of what he had said to her before the darkness had clamed her.."You love me dont you?"
"yes little one, i love you with all my soul" "thats why i couldnt let you leave me..i was probably selfish but i needed you to complete me"...
She took his face in her hands and looked into his chocolate colored eyes, one single tear rolled down her cheek..."I love you too Angel...I have ever since i decided to restore your soul, it was because i loved you so much that i did it...even if you came back to be with buffy...just as long as you were back and i could see you were alive...well dead anyway but you know what i mean.."
A small smile escaped her lips and as she closed her eyes for a second Angel pressed his lips to hers...she almost fell off the sofa...she had waited so long for this..she had been nearly killed by Angelus, raped by Oz, died and brought back with her soul, but finally she was in his arms...holding her he felt complete whole..alive..something he hadnt felt in a long long time....
As she looked back over her thoughts her borrowed blood started to biol and turn to fire in her veins...she slipped into her demon face and growled...She was amazing..even in her demon form she was..if it was possible..even more beautiful..
"what is it love,?"
one single word left her lips...
"Oz"...
Part14
Willow had called everyone to Angels mansion...Buffy,Xander,Giles,Cordelia and wesley...Angel and she sat then down and explained everything to them about Oz and the rape and her cutting herself...and then she told them what Angel had done...they sat in shocked silence...
"deadboy?"
"dont call me that,Chubs..."Useing spikes pet name for him...just to piss him off...
Willow laid a hand on his arm "angel...be nice..." "its been a shock for them.."
Angel looked at xander and said "sorry, Im just still very on edge and the urge to rip Wolf boys head off is overwhelming..."
xander nodded and appolagized too...Buffy and cordelia took willow off to one side while wes,giles and xand all stayed with Angel on the couch...
"so...willow...do you love him..."buffy asked...surpriseingly not scared of the answer..."yes i , i do love him...i have for a while...buffy Im sorry...I tried to ignore it...I had Oz...but after he did what he did I had to go to someone i knew would protect me for all time and that person was Angel..." "well willow...I say go for it..." Willow nearly fell over..."wh..what..?" "Ive moved on willow and i can see that he loves you everytime i look at him...he longs for you and you deserve to be with him...and have happiness...all the things youve gone through...your parents, Angelus,Oz...Alll of it...you need to be loved."
Cordelia had been uncharecteristically quiet up until now.."willow"..."yes cordy.." "you have to find Oz and Kill him" again willow stumbled..."wh..what?" "he deserves to die, rape is a horrible thing..i had a girlfriend who tried to say no to a guy and he didnt listen and she ended up in a mess nothing like she was before..i didnt even recognise her...plus he thinks you are his...he may not be here now but he will be and when he finds out about you and Angel he will stake either one or both of you...and i dont want to loose two good friends to a scumbag like that.."..
Willow knew instinctively that cordy was right..."but what can we do we dont know where he is?" both buffy and cordy stated in unison "then we wait"...Willow was surprised at the tone of voice and look in cordys eyes..she was being sincere she really did believe she was her friend and Oz needed to pay for what he`d done...
Across the room Angels concertration drifted as he stared at his goddess..then Giles pulled him back to the present with two words.."the curse"...Angel flinched..he knew that the same rules applied as before...even in death, they couldnt be together completely...it hurt..it stung his heart..
giles looked at the pain flash across Angels face and steamed on ahead...
"ive been researching..trieing to find a way to anchor your soul..and i think I may have just found it.." Angel looked at him in confusion..!what do you mean Giles?" "Well"..he forged on"...I found an old parchment that stated that if the CURSE was given not as a torment but a gift...from someone whome loved you..instead as someone causeing you pain then it was strengthened , made permanent...Angel...Willow loved you before you lost your soul in the first place...and all she did was try to find a way to get you back..she did it out of love for you and fear for her friends..there was no self motivation..she new you were Buffys..and that you loved her...she just wanted you back.." As the implications sunk in to his head he sat in stunned silence and finally whispered "its permanent, no more Angelus?"...
"No , no more Angelus...and you know have a soul mate as well as a mate Angel..." "you performed the ritual out of love too didnt you...you didnt want to harm willow you wanted to save her from death.." "y..ye..yes"...
"i couldnt live without her and i couldnt stand to see such a bright burning fire snuffed out of existance so early in her life..." "then..Angel..Willows soul is also permanent..she will never have to worry about her evil side comeing through..you are both safe to love each other fully...for the rest of eternity.."
Angel could hardly beleive his ears...it was permanenet and so was is goddesses aswell..*Oh How I love Her* Angel was shaken from thought by Xander..."dea..I mean Angel.." "yes".."take care of her..Ive never been fond of you.. but you have saved her life...a number of times now...and you have protected her and I can see tha you love her and she loves you...I may not have vamp senses but it radiates of you both like sunlight through and open window..." "thankyou xander..that means alot"..
"Now" xander said.."I want to discus Oz..he has to pay..I know we help the needy and hopeless..but he deserves to pay for what he did to my best friend...he deserves no kindness or mercy and I want to inflict the kind of pain on him that he did on her!" Wesley, Giles and Angel all nodded in unison..."he deserves to pay" thay all said together..."we dont where he is though" Angel stated....."then we wait"..Wesley said..
Part15
Angel swept willow into his arms and lifted her off the floor in a hug that would have taken her breath away..if she had to take..."Its permenet?"..."yes..Its permenent no more happiness clause..I love you willow Rosenboug..I love you so much it almost physically hurts." "I love you too Angel...more than you could know...
"what are we going to do about Oz..Cordy said that she thought he would come back to try and claim me...I dont want to hurt him but im afraid its the only way..." "you are amazing..did you know that...all he put you through and you still dont want to hurt him pet,"
...she smiled up at him..they were once again alone in the mansion...the others had headed off to prepare for Oz`s imminant return, leaveing them to talk...Talking was far from Angels mind as he crushed willow to him...he could feel her nipples harden under her clothes as they brushed against his chest..All he wanted to do was throw her down and claim her..burrieing himself in her folds...but he wanted this to be perfect and so he slowly unbuttoned her blouse..running his hands over her soft cold skin...fingertip light touches trailing down her arm..causing a line of gooseflesh to rise in the path..He place feather lite kisses along her cheek and down to her mouth..she opened her lips slightly to allow him access to her tongue...he followed a path down her neck and across her nipples..the already painfully hard nubbs tightening even more..He took one into his mouth and suckled while rolling the other one in his fingers...
She slipped out of he skirt and let it drop to the floor and then hooked her fingers in the waste line of her panties and drew them down her legs aswell to be disgarded on the floor...She was slowly unbuttoning his shirt when she got impatient to feel his skin and ripped it of...no regard for the buttons or the fabric...She struggled with his fly as her passion and desire overwhemed her....
He layed her down on the bed..laying just to the side of her and ran two cool fingers gently down her body...pleased when she arched into his touch...Her eyes begged please but he was enjoying himself to much..he carried the path of his fingers to her already wet sex...as he entered her with them he flicked his thumb over her throbbing clit..which illicitted a moan of pleasur to leave her parted lips..that was it he could no longer stand it..he positioned himself over her, resting his wait on his arms and looked into her eyes, seeing lust and love and wanting there pleased him but he still had to ask "Are you sure, we could still stop if your not ready?"...she looked at him, smiled, and breahted "please" at him..that was all the invitation he needed...he entered her moistness in one thrust..then let her get used to his size..
Willow gasped as he entered her...a little pain and then it gave way to a much more wanted feeling...she thrust onto him and started a steady but slow pace...she arched into his body which caused him to groan...he captchered her lips in another breathtaking kiss and started to move faster..feeling her orgasm building she dug her nails into his bag and dragged the down leaving fresh blood in the wake
*Oh goddess, he completes me...Ive never felt this way...not with anyone...I love him*
*she feels so perfect, I need her, Im haveing trouble hanging on,I love her*
As her orgasm ripped through her body her walls tightened around his shaft milking him of his cold seed...as they came together he sank his fangs into her neck claiming her as his mate for unlife, and then they rode out their orgasms until they were in complete satified silence.He growled slightly and said"mine" she looked at him and said "yours" with enough love to feul a thousand fires. He layed beside her and play with a stray strand of hair that hand fallen over her face...she sighed and said
"I love you Angel!"
"I love you too my Willow"
He kissed her gently as they let sleep claim them.
Part16
They all met in the library after dusk, Giles appeared out of the office and noticed the contented silence between willow and Angel..he sighed...they deserved happiness..and now they had found it in each other...and surpriseimgly..Buffy was just as happy for them as they were for themselves...*she is a remarkable young woman, I am proud to be her watcher*..."hello,Angel,Willow" "hi giles" they both intoned...Then they came back to thoughts as to why they were there...
"he has been spotted..he was skulking around willows".."he must have realised you werent there and gone looking elsewhere..I think its only a matter of time before he trie his luck here".giles finished and took his glassess off to clean on his shirt.....
Buffy sidled up to willow and whispered "dont worry, we wll find him, and when we do he will never harm you again...angel piped up then"I want to be the one to kill him..he touched what is mine and harmed her in ways i dont even want to think about...I have to finish this"....Everyone nodded in unison, understanding that the bond between sire and mate is the strongest thing a vampire in love could experience...
"right"..buffy said "heres the plan"..........
They all sat in the dimmed library..hideing in the stacks, except for Willow who was sat her the coputer..a perfectly normal scene...yet she was bait...they all new she would be able to defend herself but they new that if they were to be in plain site Oz would vanish..At about 9:30pm he saunted into the library..took one look at willow and smirked to himself...*Sitting Duck*..
He approached her and tried to place a hand on her shoulder,it was becomming increasingly difficult for Angel to keep from roaring and leaping at the unsespecting child....but a restraining hand on his arm stopped him and he looked to see buffy mouth "He`s going down, Dont worry, be patient"
He nodded and stayed still...
Willow played the helpless little girl for a few minutes trieing to struggle out of Oz`s grasps and pawings...finally she had had enough...she twisted and took his throat in her hand..lifting him a good two foot off the floor..not bad for someone of her height..and growled at him...letting her true face slip threw and her eyes go golden for just a second before replaceing the vamp features with human ones...
He gasped for breath, trieing to get much needed air to his burning lungs...*what happened, she`s mine, he claimed her,Oh my god, am i dead* "what happened" he choked out...
She threw him to the floor and that when everyone came running from the stacks and surounding him with variouse weapons of choice...Xanders utter hatred for Oz came off him in waves, he was going to enjoy this...Angel stepped into the middle off the circle of people..he kicked Oz in the side and stomach several times, feeling bones give under his blows...."he picked him up by the hair and snarled at him...fully vamped out.."would you like to see just how much Angelus is left in me Wolf Boy?" Oz cringed and then...wet himself..he was in real trouble and he could see no way to get out...Xander placed a hand on Angels shoulder and said with pure look of rage filling his features "let me hit him, just once, for what he did to willow and what he thought he could get away with"..Angel put him down and let Xander throw a surprisingly accurate and painful sounding punch to Oz`s teeth...All but three of Oz`s teeth gave way...he spat out blood and tooth chipps and looked at willow..."willow your mine, I put my mark on you"..."no Oz I am not yours and never will be...you violated me..be happy i have my soul or you would be being violated in a much more pain filled way..." she turned to Angel and the others and said" I dont want his death on my conscionse..let him go he wont try anything else"...they looked at willow and buffy said "are you sure?"
She nodded and turned away to angel,"Are you sure love, I dont want him coming after you pet,?"
"He wont he has no need he sees i am yours for all eternity"..with that she turned to go...before anyone could stop him Oz lunged at her , Angel saw it and was up and moveing in seconds, he caught the sword Xander had been holding as he threw it to him..."willow DUCK" angel yelled..Oz screamed "You bitch" at the top of his lungs and that was the last thing he ever said...as his head rolled to the floor at buffys feet...."well", she said, "he certainly lost his head about it all"...everyone broke out in laughter...as willow and Angel kissed pasionatly...
Once evryone was home safe and everything had been cleaned up, Angel and Willow headed home...
After another bout of love makeing angel turned to willow and growled "Mine" holding her face in his hands...she kissed him and said "Yours, Always"..
both happy in the knowledge thay had....
eterny to love each other!
End!
