Willow looked up as the library doors swung open. Cordelia and Xander entered, arguing about something. She looked back at her book, hoping they didn't notice the look of disgust on her face. She still couldn't believe that out of every girl in school Xander had chosen one of the two people she hated the most in the world.

She heard a thump and knew that Buffy had gone down. The two slayers were sparring with Giles providing directions. Faith. The only person she hated more than Cordelia. The new slayer that had pushed her out of Buffy's life. Both Faith and Cordelia had taken her place in her friend's lives, leaving her alone.

Every night she went home alone. No one really wanted her around. Buffy had Angel, Xander had Cordelia and Faith had whatever guy she was working on at that time. She was always left out now. She heard Cordelia and Xander talking and made a face. So lovey dovey it was annoying. Buffy laughed and she knew the round was finished. She heard a noise as the chair moved.

"So, Bronze tonight?" Buffy asked, having already made plans to meet Angel at nine.

"Cool. Cordy and I are going to dinner but we can swing by afterwards" Xander said, smiling.

"I'm in" Faith said. "I'll bring Rick."

"Willow?" Buffy asked, hoping her friend would come but in a way hoping she would say no.

"I don't know. I have to meet Percy about his term paper." Willow made a face.

"How is stud boy?" Faith asked, wiggling her eyebrows. "That boy is H.O.T."

"If you're in to that whole brainless air head jock thing" Willow added, rolling her eyes.

She had been forced to tutor the guy, but she didn't really like him. His attitude and personality left a lot to be desired.

"Wills, you can't deny that the boy is a hottie" Buffy said, laughing.

"Percy is one of the most wanted guys at Sunnydale High" Cordelia added.

"Just goes to show how little taste these girls really have" Willow said.

"Someone protests a lot" Faith added.

"Just the truth" Willow said.

She hated her tutoring sessions, which usually consisted of her doing the work and him playing a video game.

"Well, meet us if you feel like it." Buffy said.

"I'll be there. Percy never stays longer than half an hour. I'll meet you at eight."

"Great. Gives us time to patrol and those two time to eat dinner" Buffy said, gesturing to Xander and Cordelia.

"It's set. Eight, then." Willow said, getting her books together. "I have to go pick up the required reading list for Percy. I'll see guys in a minute."

"Nah, we're outta here" Buffy said, "We'll see you at the Bronze."

"Fine" Willow said, thankful that her friends wanted to include her for once.

"Bye, Red" Faith said as she followed Buffy out the door.

Willow left Xander and Cordelia arguing over which restaurant to visit.

**********

Willow looked again at her watch and frowned. It was half past nine. She had been waiting over an hour and a half for her friends. No one had showed yet. She snorted. Just perfect. Fit in with the rest of the day. Percy and she had had a very big disagreement. He wanted her to write the paper for him. She had refused. He had gotten very verbal with her, saying some very mean things. All she had wanted to do was meet her friends and forget about what he had said....what he had called her.

She sighed, knowing they weren't going to show. They had forgotten her. Just like they had for the last couple of months. She stood, grabbing her bag. Moving through the crowd of people, she wished she'd just gone straight home. She couldn't believe they hadn't even dropped in to let her know they had made other plans. She started walking towards home, her hand on the stake in her bag. She was ready for any evil that came her way.

"Well, lookie here" a voice spoke from the darkness.

Willow was at an alley, the street lamp broken. She looked over, disgust on her face when she recognized the boy, "Percy. What do you want?"

He smiled as he stumbled towards her. She could smell the alcohol from the distance. He had been drinking. She stood her ground, hoping he'd just leave her alone.

"You don't like me do you?" he said, his voice knowing. "I can see it in your eyes. Why not? I'm a likeable guy."

"You've been drinking. Go home." Willow started to walk away.

He reached out, grabbing her arm. She cried out in pain as he squeezed her tightly.

"Don't tell me what to do, Geek." He laughed and looked behind him.

Willow's eyes followed his nod and she felt a wave of fear. She saw Mark and Tom, two guys from the football team, come up behind Percy. She began to struggle against his grip, causing them all to laugh.

"Let me go!" She yelled, swinging her foot towards him.

She kicked his knee, causing him to yell. She got loose and tried to run. Mark grabbed her, causing her to fall on the cement.

"Spirited thing, isn't she? Never would have known she had it in her." he said, laughing.

"I can't wait to fuck her. See if she looks at me in disgust then" Percy said, unfastening his belt.

"NO!' Willow screamed as Tom moved above her. She felt them turn her over, their hands holding her down.

Percy slapped her, making her cheek hit the asphalt. "That's for kicking me bitch." He hit her again, his fist hitting her nose. "That's for making me feel stupid." He ripped her shirt open, his eyes looking at her as a smile came across his face. He squeezed her breast, "And this is for telling me no."

She arched up, trying to get away. The other boys held her tighter. She was again hit by Percy. She could feel the blood beginning to trickle from the wounds of broken skin. Again and again, she cried out no and for them to stop.

Percy grinned as he pushed her jeans down. He freed his cock, an arrogant smile on his face, "Don't worry, Rosenberg. You'll enjoy this. They always do....."

He entered her fully, breaking through her barrier roughly. She screamed loud, the sound echoing through the night. The boys just laughed as they began to paw and hit her.

"I'm next" Tom called, freeing his cock.

"Damn, she's tight. You guys won't believe how tight" Percy said as he pounded into her. He squeezed her breasts roughly.

"Wonder how tight her ass is" Mark wondered causing Willow to scream again.

"Shut up Bitch!" Percy said, hitting her face again. He continued to hit her until the screams stopped. Willow passed out right before he came. "Your turn" he said, moving from his position between her splayed legs. Cum and blood covered his cock. Tom took his place as he began to drive into the unconscious girl.

"Teach her to mess with me" Percy said, smirking.

**********

Spike wandered the dark streets of Sunnydale, a bottle of scotch in his right hand, a cigarette in his left. He couldn't believe he had come back here. The place where it had all ended. He took a swig, savoring the hot liquid as it ran down his throat. He continued walking.

He heard laughter and stopped, a frown marring his handsome face. He saw three men kicking something that was laying in the street. He watched them laugh again and then move away. Curious, he moved forward. The smell of blood assaulted him. He felt his demon rush forward. He moved until he stood beside the girl.

He looked at her, his eyes taking in the ripped clothing and blood. She had been raped. He could smell the semen. Three of them against her. Poor chit. He almost felt sympathy. She hadn't stood a chance. His eyes roamed up, staring at the red hair. Red hair. Where had he seen hair that shade before? He dropped the bottle as he remembered. The slayer's little pet.

He crouched down, his eyes looking at her. He brushed the hair from her face and saw it. They had raped and beaten the slayer's friend. A speculative gleam entered his eyes. They had been humans...appeared young. He wouldn't doubt they didn't attend the same school as the slayer and this girl. He listened, her heartbeat faint. She had lost a lot of blood. It appeared that they had hit her throughout the ordeal.

Frowning, he wondered why he cared. He should simply kill the girl, get revenge against the slayer without doing much for it. His eyes roamed the girl again. He remembered Angelus discussing this one. Her name escaped him, but she had been the shy quiet one. The one in the back ground. Cursing softly, he lifted her into his arms. He couldn't do it. He couldn't just leave her to die like this. He didn't understand why, but he couldn't.

He would take her with him. Maybe helping her would get him in the good graces of the slayer. If he planned on being in town for awhile it might be wise not to have to fight her constantly. Besides, he wanted to know who had done this. They would have to pay.

Willow drifted in and out. She felt arms around her. Comforting arms. She felt safe finally. Whimpering, she moved closer to the comfort....to the cold. She tried to forget the pain as she once again drifted out.

**********

Cordelia came in to the library, sitting down with a dazed look on her face.

"What's wrong honey?" Xander asked.

"You'll never guess what I just heard" she said, shock in her voice.

"What?" Faith asked, her expression eager for gossip.

"Percy is telling everyone that he and Willow...that they, well, you know."

"No way!" Buffy said, shaking her head. "Not Willow. She can't stand him."

"It could have just been an act. She probably wanted him all along." Faith pointed out.

"Percy is not Willow's type. He's full of shit" Xander said, angry for the lies the boy was telling about his friend.

"Well, Percy said she was so exhausted from the work out that she told him she wouldn't be around for a day." Cordelia said, glancing pointedly at the empty chair.

"Not Wills." Xander said, shaking his head. "She's probably sick."

"Damn!" Buffy said. "She wasn't at the Bronze when we got there."

"Buffy, we were late!" Xander said. "We didn't get there until almost ten. Remember?"

"Xander, Willow would have waited for us if we told her we were coming. I don't like to think she'd jump into bed with someone like Percy much either, but it all points to that. She isn't in school, she wasn't at the Bronze. She didn't call to tell us she wouldn't be meeting us...."

"And Percy is hot not to mention one of the most popular guys in school. She could do much worse for her first. I can't believe he'd be that desperate...."

"Cordelia! Shut up. You're all wrong. Willow would not sleep with Percy. She's my best friend. I know her. It didn't happen."

"Ok. Fine. We'll ask her." Faith said, smiling.

"I'll call her now" Xander said, his eyes glinting with anger against Percy. He dialed but got no answer. Going back to them, he frowned, "No answer."

"Probably exhausted" Faith said, laughter in her voice.

"I'm going over there. You guys can think what you all want. Willow did not fuck Percy!" Xander left, almost as angry at them.

"She at least showed good taste" Cordelia said, accepting it as a proven fact.

"True." Buffy added, knowing she wanted to get details from her friend.

**********

Willow screamed as she sat up. She sucked in deep breaths, looking around her in a daze. She felt pain shoot through her as she moved. Her side hurt.

"Shh...luv. It's ok. No one to hurt you" a voice said.

She looked over, her eyes widening, "Spike?"

He smiled softly as he brought her a glass. "Drink this pet. You know me?"

She took the cup, smelling it. "What is this?"

"Something to make you feel better" he replied.

She drank it, grimacing. "Yuck."

He sat down, taking the glass. "They broke some ribs, I think. Did a bit more damage but it should heal. That was to fight any infections."

She remembered what had happened, the boys and what they had done to her. She looked down at the blanket, "Why are you helping me?"

"Don't know." He said, smiling. "Didn't like the way they laughed. Besides, I've never had anything against you."

"You've tried killing me" Willow pointed out, not believing she was arguing with him.

"Don't like your friends, pet" He replied.

"It hurts" she said softly.

"Will for a bit. There were three of them?"

"Yes" she said, tears in her eyes.

"Did you know them?"

"Go to my school....I didn't like them."

"Enough talking. You should rest. Go back to sleep."

"I should go home....." she looked at him.

"You have someone there?" he asked, concerned about leaving her alone. He knew that it all still hadn't hit her. He didn't want her alone when it did.

"No" she said. "My parents are in Switzerland."

"You'll stay here. Plenty of room. Besides, I can keep an eye on you."

"Thank you" she said quietly, her eyes staring at him.

He looked in the green depths and shifted uncomfortably. If he'd had a soul, he could swear she would be able to see it. "Just don't tell anyone, ok? Have to keep my reputation."

She smiled, "Promise."

"What's your name, girl?" Spike asked.

"Willow."

"Sweet dreams Willow" he said softly, tucking the blanket around her.

"Would you....could you um..."

"What?"

"Could you lay here with me...just hold me? Your arms...they made me feel safe." She bit her lip, her face awash with embarassment.

He laid down, taking her in his arms and being careful of her wounds. "Sleep now, Willow. We'll talk later tonight."

Willow closed her eyes, sleep overtaking her. Spike held her tightly, wondering why he was acting so silly about her. He had brought her into his place, cleaned her up, dressed her in one of his shirts and then taken care of her. She wasn't a stray puppy. She was the slayer's friend. Yet, he felt more at peace laying in the bed with her in his arms than he had in over a hundred years. He closed his eyes, visions of what he had planned for her attackers dancing in his head.

**********

Xander turned and walked down the steps from Willow's front door. Something was wrong. He could sense it. There were no lights on, the house dark. He wondered where she could be. He had to find her. He knew in his heart that something had happened to her.

He felt guilty for not meeting her the night before. He had been ready to arrive at the Bronze at eight. But, the girls had wanted to meet Angel and then head over. He hated Deadboy and had mentioned that Willow would be waiting. They hadn't cared, saying she would wait. He had just gone along with their plan. Now, he wished that he hadn't. He couldn't think where she could be.

Spike watched the boy. He had found out Willow's address from her purse and decided to come pick up some fresh clothes for her. He hadn't thought to wonder how he would get in. Seeing the boy, and the concerned look on his face, he made his decision.

"You're friends with Willow, aren't you?" he called out.

Xander turned around, his eye widening in fear, "Spike?"

"Does everyone in this damn town know me?" Spike asked.

"Do you have Willow?" Xander asked, anger outweighing the fear.

Spike nodded, "Don't react boy. I found her last night....she was raped....beaten. Very badly. I didn't want her to be alone."

"God no....not Willow..." Xander said softly. Guilt shooting through him.

"I wanted to bring her some clothes...something fresh...I threw the others out." Spike said.

"I'll get her some things....is she ok?"

"She'll live. Don't know about mentally yet. She was worked over something fierce."

"Wait. Why do you care?" Xander asked.

Spike looked at him, "She was helpess against three of them. Almost dead. She reminded me of Dru, in a way. I had to help her."

"Will you take me to her?" Xander asked.

Spike's eyes narrowed. "I don't know if she's up to seeing anyone."

"Please? I was supposed to meet her...we were running late...it's my fault...." Xander blinked, trying to keep the tears from falling.

Spike sighed, "Bloody hell. Fine. Get her some stuff. She won't be going anywhere for a few days yet. I'll let you see her, but if she gets upset, I'll rip your heart out."

"I'd never do anything to hurt her" Xander said, his voice surprised at the idea.

"Get going. Don't have all night. She could wake up anytime....she doesn't know I left...don't want her to wake up alone."

Xander glanced at the vampre, curiosity on his face. Shrugging, he went to get the key from Willow's hiding place. "Be back in a minute."

Spike laughed softly. What the hell was he doing? She needed him. He had to be there for her. Maybe seeing this boy would help her. It wouldn't hurt to have a friend to help. Besides, he had a way to get her some clothes.

**********

Tom Rogers strolled to his car. The parking lot was dark and he noticed that the light was out. He hated working at the Burger Barn. Never got done with his closing until at least 1 am. Plus, he always smelled like grease after work. It was money though. Could be worse.

"Tom?" a voice called out.

He turned, recognizing a guy from school. "Yeah, what?"

"Do you know me?" the kid asked, walking closer.

"Seen you around. Why?"

"Maybe you know my friend. Willow?"

Hearing the name, Tom laughed, "Tight little cunt. Well, not so much anymore."

The boy moved quickly, pushing against the car. "Don't ever talk like that about Willow again. You fucking asshole."

"Let me go" Tom pushed him off. "Want me to fuck you like I fucked her?"

"Wouldn't recommend that, chap. He might bite that small dick off."

Tom turned, seeing a blonde haired man standing beside his car. The man smirked, the look in his eyes making Tom scared. "Who are you?"

"The name's Spike. You know my friend Xander here."

"What do you want?" Tom asked, not liking this guy at all.

"You hurt Willow. Made her bleed. We're here to even the score, so to speak." Spike said, throwing his cigarette to the ground.

"Fuck you. She wanted it. She liked it."

"He's got a big mouth doesn't he?" Xander said, an evil look in his eyes. "Doesn't know when to shut up."

"I noticed that. Needs to learn to keep it shut." Spike observed. Looking at Xander, he made the offer, "You should leave now. This is about to get rather ugly."

Xander looked him straight in the eye, "You've seen Willow....heard what they did. I'm not going anywhere until he pays for hurting her."

Spike had to smile. The devotion and love in the mortal surprised him. Of course, for Willow he could see it. "If it gets too much, leave."

"Yes dad" Xander said, wanting nothing more than to see Tom bleeding on the sidewalk.

"You won't get away with this" Tom said. "My dad wil..."

His words were stopped when Spike caught his tongue. "Tsk tsk. Didn't I tell you to watch your mouth?" He ripped the boys tongue out, delighting in the scream of pain. "Remember Willow...."

Xander sat back and watched as Spike began to beat the jock. He felt repulsed but he knew what the boy had done. For Willow, he would watch. He would give her details of her attacker's death. It had been two days since he had run into Spike. Two days and Willow couldn't walk because of the pain in her side. He had been amazed at how Spike was taking care of her. He didn't understand it, but Willow was happy with the vampire.

He had tried to tell Buffy and the others about the rape but they had laughed. They said Willow was just embarrassed and trying to cover up the fact that she had wanted it. He couldn't believe them. Couldn't believe that they thought Willow capable of such lies. Angry at them, he hadn't been to school since. He had stayed with Willow and Spike, helping the vampire settle on a course of revenge. The boys who had hurt Willow would die in pain. Of that, he and Spike would guarantee.

**********

Mark Collins came to, his vision blurred. He felt someone watching him and tried to move. "Where am I?"

"Doesn't matter" a voice said. He looked up and could make out someone with dark hair. "You won't leave here alive."

"Fuck you" he screamed.

He heard a chuckle behind him. "No, fuck you."

He felt a pain in his ass. He screamed out as something was shoved into him. He felt heat burning him up. "Who are you?"

The boy moved closer, "You remember Willow? You had a thing for her ass, didn't you?"

"Little bitch. She liked it."

The boy slapped him. "Spike, I think he needs to realize the error of his ways."

"You think?" Spike said, laughing.

He moved the small object from the boy's ass. He reached for the hot poker, smiling. He shoved it in, smelling the burning flesh. He closed his eyes, just listening to the screams of pain.

"Give Tom our regards in Hell" Xander said, sitting back.

He turned his head, not wanting to see what Spike did with the poker. Willow had gotten an odd gleam in her eyes when they had told her what they did to Tom. He could see the pleasure she got from hearing about the pain he had gone through. He couldn't blame her. He heard her wake up each night screaming from the nightmares. He wondered if she would ever get over them.

Two down, one to go. Percy was the last one. They had his death planned for the following night. He wondered if Buffy and the others had connected them to the missing Tom. Actually, not missing. Found in the parking lot of the Burger Barn early that next morning. He had been unrecognizable by the time Spike had finished. Xander personally felt that justice had been served.

He still wasn't going to school. There was no point. Willow could never go back. Without his best friend, what did it hold for him? Cordelia had proven what she was when all this first started. No, he was happy staying with Willow and Spike. Surprisingly, over the last few days they had started to grow closer. He could sense the growing bond between his best friend and the vampire. He was happy for them. Willow deserved someone who would maim and kill for her.

********** "Have you guys seen Xander?" Cordelia asked, taking a seat.

"Not since he tried to convince us that Red was raped" Faith said.

"That was like five days ago. He hasn't been home....his parents haven't seen him."

"You think something is wrong?" Buffy asked.

Cordelia sighed, "I don't know. Willow isn't home either. It just seems strange to me that they both disappear at the same time."

"Speaking of disappear, did you hear that Mark Collins is gone? They think he ran away" Buffy said.

"Isn't he a friend of Percy's?" Cordelia asked.

"Yep. Him and Tom both were" Buffy said.

"You don't think....." Cordelia drifted off.

"Willow and Xander? No way. They couldn't kill someone. You heard what Tom looked like. His tongue was ripped out."

"Yuck." Faith said. "Thanks for the visual."

"Buffy" a male voice said softly.

Buffy looked up, smiling, "Angel! Why are you here?"

Angel looked at her, his eyes unreadable. "Is it true?"

"What?" she asked confused.

"Willow. Did you not listen when you found out she was raped?" Angel asked, still reeling from what his childe had told him.

"Where did you hear that? She was lying. She had sex and I guess she didn't want anyone to know about it...."

"You little bitch" Angel said, his eyes shocked. "Willow would never lie about something like that. I didn't want to believe that none of you listened....I can't believe it..."

"Please! It was such a bogus story. Percy would not rape anyone. Much less Willow." Cordelia said.

Angel's eyes hardened. "I'm sorry, but I can't be around you. I thought you cared about your friends...."

"Angel!" Buffy cried out.

"Stay. Away. From. Me." He hissed, disappointment and anger in his brown eyes.

Buffy watched him leave, "Great. Fucking great. What the hell else can happen?"

*********

Percy looked up at the dark haired man that had him. "Who are you?"

Angel glanced at the boy, his demon pushing out. He wanted nothing more than to rip this kid apart. He still couldn't believe that Buffy and the others had acted so harshly against Willow. Willow had always been there for him when she was needed. He planned to be by her side when she needed him now.

"Maybe you remember me" another voice said.

Percy looked over, sneering, "Harris. Where's the little redhead bitch?"

Xander smiled, "You'll see her again real soon. She's waiting."

"What? She want some more from me? One fuck not enough?"

"This loudmouth brat is Percy?" another voice said.

Percy looked over and saw a blonde haired man. "Who the fuck are you guys?"

"Name's Spike. This here is my dad, Angel. You know Willow and Xander."

"You're dad? Whatever." Percy said, trying to ignore his growing fear. He saw redhair and smirked, "See you want more Willow."

Willow moved in front of Spike. She looked at Percy, her eyes cold. She hated him. She could remember what he had done. She heard that her so called friends had taken his side against her.

She looked at Spike, smiling at her lover. "Thank you for the prezzie."

Spike grinned, "Anything for you pet" He kissed her hard and deep.

Xander laughed, "Can we play with him now? Please? Can we?"

Spike pulled away, "What do you say, luv? Is it time to make him pay?"

"First him, then the slayer and the others?" she asked softly, an evil glint in her eyes.

"We'll get the slayer. Promise." Spike said, smiling at her. He exchanged a look with his sire, surprised still that Angel had allowed his loyalty to Willow overpower his soul. "She is nothing against us four. You shall have her blood, my luv."

Willow smiled, "Thank you Daddy." She looked at Percy. "Time to play."

Spike laughed, "You heard your mum, Xander. Time to play."

Xander morphed out, his fangs gleaming in the darkness. Percy screamed. He looked at Willow and saw her eyes turn yellow as she stalked towards him.

"Nooooooo!!!" he screamed out.

THE END
