Surprise Visitor

The next couple of days went by quickly but smoothly for Willow, who
was still in a bit of a daze about the surprise appearance of the
dark haired vampire. She found herself thinking that the last few
days had gone by in a strange blur as her mind still seemed to be
recovering from the spell he used on her in the cemetery. However she
pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind and focused on the fact
that it was Friday night. Willow knew that Angel was on his way back
to Sunnydale to spend the entire weekend making passionate love to
her. The weekend was the only real couple time they had and she was
determined not to let anything or anybody ruin it for the both of
them.

Earlier that afternoon Willow had asked Buffy if she had seen the
illusive mystery vamp but Buffy had been disappointed to report that
she had not laid eyes on him since the cemetery. Buffy was eager to
find the vamp and pretty much dust him on sight; she had a really bad
feeling that he was going to be major trouble. Willow also felt a bit
disappointed and she honestly could not figure out why, but image
after image of him replayed itself in her mind. She was even starting
to dream about him and it was beginning to really freak her out, she
just thought it was one of the weird side effects of the mind
control. Therefore both Buffy and Willow were silently praying that
the mysterious vamp had decided to leave town and the fact that he
had not been spotted for the last few days only served to enforce
their belief that he had disappeared just as suddenly as he
appeared.

Buffy also had Giles on the case as a back up since the vamp in
question might be lurking somewhere in town, living on the hellmouth
had taught all the scoobies that it was best to always have a plan
B.  However at this moment in time Willow strolled excitedly into her
house "I love Friday's," she sing sung to herself as she threw the
book bag on the bed and went to find her overnight bag. She began to
pack her toiletries for the weekend then proceeded to go to her
drawer and pull out the burgundy silk nightgown Angel had bought for
her. He insisted that she wear it the next time they were together
but what Angel did not know was that Willow had made a quick trip to
Victoria Secret and she had a feeling he was going to love what she
would be wearing underneath the nightgown.

Ten minutes later Willow had finished packing and made her way slowly
to the phone to call Buffy and inform her that she would not be
around for another weekend. Willow was beginning to hate herself for
doing this to Buffy but she really did not have much of a choice. She
sighed and took a deep breath and dialed her friend's number.

" Buffy hey its Willow" she forced her voice to sound happy.

" Hey Will, what's up?"

" Oh something really good. My parents called and invited me up to
New York for the weekend, cause you know my mom is at the seminar on
dysfunctional teens...and I'm going to go and finally have a bit of
mother- daughter time. You know shopping and maybe a show...so I'm
kinda bailing on you ....again....sorry." Willow finished meekly.

" Oh....Ok well yeah that sounds good....um well I guess I will see
you when you get back"

Willow swallowed. Buffy did not sound like she really believed her,
she had a feeling the slayer was getting really suspicious of
her 'weekend trips'. Willows own fears where confirmed when the
slayer's voice broke into her panic.

" Ah Will....we're friends right? And you know that you can trust
me....so if there's something that you want to tell me....I'm here
for you....always.....you wanna talk about something...anything at
all?  Buffy asked cautiously.

" NO! I..I mean no.....I'm fine really.....just good ol reliable
Willow....no, nothing to talk about...cause my life is
boring....nothing happening....completely normal.....peachy even..."
Willow babbled.

" OK I get the point Will. It's all good....well I guess I will see
you when you get back then....have a good trip..

"Thanks I will....have a good trip and be fine..cause I'm fine...and
everything is.... fine," Willow closed her eyes and bit back a groan.
Could she sound any more like a dork?

"Ok. Then. Bye Will. "

"See ya Buff".

As she hung up the phone Willow collapsed on the floor and shook her
head in disgust. < Oh great job Willow....smooth....I don't think she
suspects a thing....What with your brilliant handling of that
conversation....> she berated herself. She sighed again as she jumped
to her feet and looked over at the clock.

"I guess I have enough time to take a long bath before Angel comes."
She giggled to herself at the wickedness of that last part, before
walking into the bathroom and turning on the water. She filled the
tub up and added her favorite almond and honey bath essence. Willow
undressed and was about to step into the welcoming tub when the phone
rang. <Of course...it never fails...always when I'm naked and bath
ready> She grumbled as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her,
quickly making her way to the phone.

Snatching the phone up she practically spat out her greeting

"Hello!" .

"Not happy to hear from me sweet," Angel purred from the other end of
the phone.

"Oh hi Angel. You know I'm always happy to hear from you. I just
thought that it was Buffy or Xander trying to talk me into discussing
what's been going on with me and canceling my trip to New York to
hang with them."

"So that's where you're going this weekend?"

"Yeah. So what are we doing this weekend?" she asked.

"How about we try for five or six orgasm's in one hour instead of the
usual two or three."

"How about I don't do anything with you this weekend?"

"You couldn't do that even if you wanted too."

"How about I never sleep with you again," she giggled waiting  for
his response.

"Like I said before, you couldn't do that even if you wanted too.
Yeah maybe for a while but I know I *will* have you one day of the
month when you will be drawn to me like a moth to the flame. So if
you try to leave me I know that you will come back or just cum, which
ever you like."

"You are really full of yourself tonight aren't you," she said
rolling her eyes as she heard him laugh on the other end.

"How about I take you out for dinner and dancing and then we take a
nice long walk," he suggested to her.

"That sounds nice."

"Then afterwards we can work on the five or six times."

"Pleaseee. Bye Angel. I have to go and take a bath."

"Oh great. Why did you have to mention that. Now for the next couple
of hours, you being naked in a tub will play over and over again in
my mind."

"Good. I love you."

"I love you too. But I still feel mistreated."

"Bye, Angel,"

"Bye Lover."

Willow hung up the phone and ran back into the bathroom. Once she was
finished she got dressed and decided to take a nap knowing that she
would need a lot of energy for the physical demands of this weekend.

***

Willow was awakened by the phone ringing. "Goddess how long have I
been asleep ," she said as she looked at the time, which showed that
it was after eight o'clock. She had been asleep for three hours.
Where was Angel? So much for her small power nap. On the fifth ring
she sat up on her bed and answered the phone.

"Hello," she said sleepily.

"Willow baby I'm running a little late I should be there in a few."

"I was beginning to worry about you." she whispered, not sure why she
was covering up her sleep.

"Well I'm coming and you will be too. Later. My sweet."

She giggled. "I'm sure I will."

"See you soon."

They both said their goodbyes and hung up the phone. Willow sat on
her bed for a couple of minutes, trying to pull herself together.
She stood and walked over to her balcony door to make sure it was
locked. She didn't want anyone to break in while she was gone. She
was about to turn and walk away but before she had a chance to leave
the room she heard a light knock.

"He was closer than I thought," she said to herself as she unlocked
the door and threw it open. "Angel why didn't you…" her sentence died
on her lips as she realized who the person standing before her was.
He was here.... at her house the same mysterious man....no...vampire
that she had encountered in the cemetery.

" Am I not worthy of a hello my sweet Willow?"

Willow jumped back a little as he reached out to touch her, only to
be stopped by the barrier.

"What do you want?" she demanded looking into his eyes.

"I want you," he replied honestly.

"I don't even know you and you don't even know me so what makes you
think that I want you. You are not my type. And it doesn't matter
because you will never have me. Ever. I'm taken"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dracula and yes I do want you
Willow. You don't know me now but in time you will. As for me not
knowing you, you're wrong.  I know everything about you. From your
charm, your love, your personality and your magic. That's what
brought me here. You. And Willow, I will have you. You can consider
me your soon to be mate."

"What?" she squeaked completely shocked. "No..I..I don't think so.
Be..besides I already have a mate and I love him and he loves me
back," she babbled, once again looking into his eyes.

He smiled at her, knowing that she had just made it easy for him. "I
know. I could smell him on you the first night I came for you and it
made me very upset. I would have had you that night too if it wasn't
for that annoying slayer." Using his voice to distract her he started
to take command over her mind with his. He continued talking "If
there is one thing that I can be completely certain of is that your
so called mate will be part of your past as of tonight Willow. I
always get what I want and that's you. Now. Come here."

Willow tried to block his voice from her mind but she found herself
powerless to do anything but obey his command, just as she did in the
cemetery.  His eyes were calling her and she could deny him nothing.
<No Willow. For crying out loud girl at least scream or something.
Has living on  the hellmouth taught you nothing> She thought over and
over again but to her horror she found herself walking towards him.

Once she made it outside, his arm shot out and pulled her against
him. She didn't struggle or make any effort to pull back. She
couldn't even if she wanted too. He began rubbing the small of her
back as he moved his hand up to her hair.  He felt her shiver when he
pulled her hair away from her warm neck. He bent down sliding into
his true face as he gently kissed her neck, noticing the mark that
was already there.

"You have been tasted?" he glared at her angrily.

Willow nodded mutely while she tried to get some sort of physical
retaliation from her body. <Willow, Angel is going to be pissed girl.
Do something, punch, kick, scream, run away, go back inside
anything....goddess at least put up some sort of fight> she thought
and suddenly panicked when she felt a familiar sensation.  She
whimpered when she felt him bite into Angels' mark on her neck.

***

Angel had parked his car a couple of blocks from Willow's house not
wanting her friends  to see it there. He was deep in thought as he
walked towards her house. < Why should I care if they see me here>
He loved Willow and she loved him and there was nothing anyone could
do about it.  Angel was pulled out of his thoughts as he neared
Willows balcony.

His demon came roaring to the surface as he sniffed the
air. "Willow," he whispered as he took off with vampirism speed in
the direction of her balcony. He could smell her, he smelled her
fear,  her blood and a small dose of her arousal.

He made it to the balcony in a heartbeat and what he saw  left him
standing there speechless and seething in a wild burning rage. Some
insolent vampire wannabe was feeding from his Willow. His mate. The
rage boiled inside him as he felt Angelus howl in outrage. This time
when he felt the demon Angelus rise up within him, he surrendered his
control over their body. With an intense hatred he lunged at the
vampire feeding from Willow. The vampire flew to the ground and Angel
countered by kicking him, his boot making a swift sharp impact with
the vamps ribs. All the time growling out the intense hatred and rage
that flowed through his veins. He had not even gotten a good look at
the vampire when suddenly the rational part of his brain kicked in.
Willow. He looked up panicked, only to see her leaning against the
railing, holding her bleeding wound. She looked almost serene as she
stood swaying gently in the cool breeze. As he felt her heartbeat
weaken Angel rushed over to her, holding  her before her legs could
crumble beneath her. Gently he lowered her to the ground and brushed
the hair from her face. She was pale and quickly slipping into
unconsciousness. He made sure she was as comfortable as she could be,
outside on the balcony before he turned his murderous glare back to
the fallen vampire. He stalked towards him, suddenly knowing exactly
who he was dealing with. Dracula.

Angel stood over the vampire snarling down at him,

Dracula even though he was in a good amount of pain only smiled
pleasantly at him and said, "Ah the great Angelus. Jealousy does not
look good on you old friend."

Angel's reply was a brutally harsh kick to the vampire's stomach a
kick laced with all the strength he possessed.  "If you want to make
it to the next century friend it would be wise for you to stay the
hell away from my mate before you find out why they called me the
Scourge of Europe.

"Your mate" he spat out. " Not for long. She will be mine" Dracula
moved at an alarming speed and like a flash of light, disappeared
right before Angels eyes, before the souled vampire had a chance to
initiate another beating.

Forgetting his anger for the moment Angel went over and picked up his
unconscious mate and carried her back into her bedroom. He growled
softly as he turned her neck gently to get a better view of the fresh
bite mark that had been inflicted on her neck.

He laid her on the bed before going back to the balcony door, closing
it and making sure it was locked. He was beginning to worry about
Willow. She had been unconscious for a while now.

"Willow, baby please wake up," he whispered with a slight tremble in
his voice. He gently ran his fingers through her hair, knowing that
she loved the feather light touches.

She groaned and opened her eyes slightly, feeling the soothing
effects of his fingers.

"Angel, what happened?" she asked a little frightened.

"I was hoping you could tell me."

"I..went," she stopped talking when she felt a stab of  pain surge
through her entire head, she struggled to sit up.

"My head hurts Angel." she said in her little girl voice.

"Are you sure going to be alright sweetheart?" he asked ready to rush
her to hospital in a second.

"Yeah I should be fine. I'm just all confused."

"Are you able to tell me what happened?" he asked gently, trying to
keep the anger out of his voice.

"I thought it was you at the door but when I opened it, he was
standing there. He did something to me Angel and I couldn't stop
him.  I really tried but when he called me I went to him and it
scared me," she answered honestly as she felt the tears start to
stream down her face.

Angel pulled her tightly into his arms and kissed the top of her head
as he began whispering soothing words. He was going to seriously kill
Dracula for this.

After she calmed down a little she spoke, "He told me that he came
here for me and that I was to be his mate. Then he did that mind
thing and kissed my neck...t. then he bit me. You know I would never
cheat on you Angel. I never want anyone but you."

"I know Willow," he said softly.

"I love you too much to hurt you," she told him.

"It's ok love.  I believe you Willow. I just don't want you out at
night by yourself or with anyone else but me until I find out how he
plans to take you away from me."

"What if he comes back and like tonight I open the door expecting
you?"

"Well," he thought for a second. "I will call you from the balcony or
your front door if it's me. And try to get Buffy and the others not
to come over at night so that you don't have to open the door. Willow
I know this is going to be really forward of me but do you think you
could give me a spare key to your house." he waited for her answer,
holding a not needed breath.

"Yes Angel, I want you to have a key," she smiled laying her head
back on his shoulder therefore missing the smile that lit up his
entire face. He loved her so much.

"Everything will be fine Willow. I promise you."

The End
