~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oz had left with Buffy when leaving Giles’ flat. He had questions he knew Buffy could answer. He’d listened to Giles’ explanations but didn’t believe them.
Oz and Buffy patrolled while they talked about what had been happening the last few months; mostly Oz listened as Buffy talked though.
“Buffy, what’s really going on with Willow and Spike?” Oz asked.
“How did you know about that?” She asked as she staked a newly risen fledgling.
“I went to see Willow at the dorm but Marcy told me that she had moved back home. So, I went to her parents’ house to talk to her and saw them together in the biblical sense.” Oz answered with a quite growl.
“I think he’s using her. I think he weaseled his way into our group, and that he’s going to hurt her, eventually. I just know he will and then what will she do?” Buffy huffed.
“I’m going to L.A. and getting her.” Oz stated.
He ran out of the cemetery before Buffy could catch him or even see him.
Several Hours Later…
Outside of A.I.
Oz’s van showed up just before dawn in front of Angel’s place.
He spotted Spike’s Desoto around the corner when he pulled up.
The lights from the building illuminated the sidewalk outside.
Through the curtained window of A.I. Oz could see Cordelia and Willow having
a lively conversation.
Inside of A.I.
Willow and Cordelia had been talking for over an hour while Spike and Angel were actually patrolling. Finally alone they were talking about Willow and Spike’s relationship. Talking so much that neither woman sensed the lurking presence outside of the window they were in front of.
“So Willow, what is it like with Spike?” Cordy asked.
“Like a rollercoaster, he’s wild. I love him so much, even his demonic side. He can be so gentle but he doesn’t always treat me like I’m made of glass or try to hold me back from things. The others are always its too dangerous, or Willow we don’t want you to get hurt. Hell, it took Xander months to see I was sexually active and not the five year old he always sees me as. But, I have to admite he’s been really good about my relationship with Spike.” Willow babbled happily.
Giggling could be heard from outside the office as Oz entered. Cordelia was the first to see him and gasped. The gasped alerted Willow that someone was behind her and she turned around. Shocked she was barely able to speak, except one word.
“Oz.” Willow exclaimed.
“Willow, Cordelia.” Oz stated moving farther into the room.
“What are you doing here, Oz?” Cordelia asked.
“Looking for Willow.” He answered.
During his drive Oz’s anger only grew, he just kept seeing Spike and Willow in bed together.
“How did you know I was here?” Willow finally asked shaking herself out of shock.
“I’ve been to Sunnydale. I was there a couple of days ago, went to see you infact I went to your parents’ house, but you were a little busy when I got there.” He said.
He was acting so strange but she couldn’t place it until he said that last statement. Hearing that she gasped and stepped away from him. Oz moved closer as she backed away and kept talking.
“I can smell him on you even now. Did you know I’d see you? Leaving the curtains open as you FUCKED him, you must have known.” Oz shouted as fur began to grow on his forearms.
Willow was still in shock from the knowledge that he’d seen her and Spike together, and didn’t seen Oz’s physical changes, but Cordelia did and started backing to her desk where she kept her weapons among which was a silver dagger, Angel had given her.
Below the office in Angel’s apartment
Spike and Angel had entered and heard Oz screaming at Willow and dashed for the stairs, however were late because Oz had smelled them enter the building and fled back through the door, slamming it behind him.
The door slamming was the last thing she remembered before Spike had her in his strong arms. She didn’t even realize she had been digging her fingernails into her palms to the point they were bleeding as Oz shouted at her. Willow also didn’t realize she had started mumbling to herself, repeating the same thing over and over.
“He saw us.” She mumbled.
“I know, luv, I know.” Spike just trying to reassure her and quite her.
They all watched the door from the safety of the office in shock and deep thought.
