Willow woke up the next morning, smiling when she felt Spike nuzzling into her neck. She looked up at him. "Hey."
"Hey yourself."
"You're all healed."
"Told you I would be, didn't I?"
"What's gonna happen now?" she asked worried.
"What do you mean, luv?"
"Will he keep us apart?"
"Angel? Not anymore. He realized I was fighting for you, luv." He watched her face expressions and knew there was something else. "Red, I don't want us to keep secrets. Tell me."
"I.I love you. When I saw you last night."
Spike pressed a finger to her lips to silence her. "I know. I love you too. Never leave me, baby?"
"Never. But I do think we need to go work before Angel comes up here."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you down there."
~~~*~~~
Two weeks had passed by and everything was going perfect. Willow and Spike would barely leave each other's side. Angel had accepted them as a couple and even Spike had backed off a bit from being annoying.
"Ready, luv?"
"And where are you two going?" Angel asked in his best fatherly tone.
"Out," Spike told him.
"We're gonna patrol, Angel."
"I miss the violence," Spike mumbled.
"And I haven't been on patrol in awhile, so we decided to go tonight."
"We'll see you two when you get back. The rest of the gang decided to rent some movies."
"We'll be back soon."
~~~*~~~
They had been walking back to the hotel when he felt it. Vampires. More than a couple. "Stay close to me, pet. I can't lose you."
"What is it?"
"Vampires." He watched as seven vampires came out. "We're surrounded."
Everything seemed to happen in a blur. Spike remembered dusting four of the vamps before he saw Willow fall down. He froze first in shock and then in anger. His demon roared. The other vampires had run off into the night air. He looked down at Willow. She had been cut up pretty bad and was losing a lot of blood. Scooping her up in his arms, he held her close. "Don't die on me, baby." Spike ran back to the hotel as fast as he could.
Spike kicked open the front doors, his mind focused on Willow. "SIRE!" he screamed.
Angel heard the word come out of his mouth. He wasn't Spike's Sire but he was the next best thing. He also knew that Spike didn't just say that word for the hell of it. His tone of voice held panic. Angel bolted out of his chair and ran into the other room. That's when he saw it. Willow was dying. Angel saw tears running down Spike's face as their eyes shared one last knowing look.
The End
