Part: One
Willow stood up and watched in shock as she saw Spike and Angel walk into the room. She saw shock and relief in their eyes as they saw her. Both rushed over and embraced her in a sandwich like manner.
"Willow we are so glad to see you. We have been searching for you since you left." Said Angel. Their reunion was cut short as they heard LaCroix clear his throat.
"So I take it that Alexia here is why you have come to see me." He saw a look of confusion past both faces.
"Alexia? Her name is Willow." Spike said looking confusingly at
Willow.
"Alexia is my new name. What are you doing here, how did you find me?"
She looked at the two vampires expectantly. As they took a seat across from her.
"We have are ways." Angel said in his usual cryptic manner causing Willow to grin.
Janette broke in looking at the to handsome vampires knowingly
"You are vampires oui, are you hungry?" She asked.
"Most definitely." Said Spike as his 'game face' showed in place if his human vise.
At Janette's order a waitress brought in two more bottles of human blood and two more wine glasses. Spike and Angel received their glasses and gasped in shock as they saw Willow picked the glass of blood before her and drank from it. Angel had an idea, but was confused by one thing.
"The vampire that raped you turned you. But how do you have a heartbeat." He said.
Willow stared at him in shock of his knowledge she looked at them both and noticed that there was rage beneath their looks, they were attempting to conceal.
"How did you know that?"
"When we went to you house to find you, the clothes from your assault were in your hamper. The smell of the vampire was permeating from them as well as your blood and fear. But what about your heart."
"I was not completely turned, I still have my soul, my heart beats sometimes after I feed, but most of my human traits are due to the illusion spell I cast." She looked over at Spike and seen the rage in his face.
"Where is that bastered Sire of yours?" He asked through clenched teeth.
"Dead." They all looked at her in shock at the cold collection in her voice.
"How?" Asked Spike.
"It was not his intention to turn me, only to defile me then kill me, and probably put me at Buffy's doorstep. When I felt his fangs in my neck I tried to struggle one last time. I absently I bit him after trying to push him away did not work. At first I had not realized drew blood. I grabbed the knife he had stuck in the ground next to my head and slit his throat, when he rolled off me I stake him. But he had not drained me, nor had I taken a lot of blood." She finished.
"Why did you run away, Luv? We would have help you."
"Because I seen how the gang treated you guys, I could not stand to see such contempt in their eyes looking at me, and I couldn’t ask Buffy to choose between me and her duty as the Slayer." At this it was Willow's new friends turn to look at her with shock. LaCroix was the one to speak at it.
"So, you knew the Slayer."
*****************
After all was out on the table Willow, Spike, and Angel went to Willows apartment to get some much needed rest. LaCroix, Janette, and Nick agreed to come to Willow's after Willow and Nick got off work. The next evening Angel and Spike were downstairs watching TV when Willow got out of the shower and got dressed. When they seen her their mouths dropped open.
Willow descended the stairs wearing a pair if black stretch-velvet hip hugging pants that had a slight flare from the knee down. She also wore a blood maroon lightweight cashmere sweater that stopped just above her belly button, which was pierced with a jade hoop. Her short hair, which was now just long enough to French braid and was, with two locks framing her face. Her jade green eyes, which had a well-applied tint of red eye shadow, were outlined in black, as were her lips that were coated in her trademark blood red lipstick. She also had a small hoop in her eyebrow and her pentacle around her neck.
"Luv, you look magnificent." Was all Spike could say as he and Angel stared at the petite redhead.
"Yes, you do." Agreed Angel as he stood up and went to the kitchen. Willow watched him shortly return with a glass of warm blood that he handed to her.
"Thanks." She said accepting the glass and taking a sip.
"Your welcome, it's going to take some getting use to seeing you drink that." Angel said as he looked at her with sympathy wondering of all that she had suffered.
"Believe me I know." She went to a draw in the kitchen and pulled something from it before returning to the living room area. She handed them both a key.
"These are for if you leave, please lock up."
"Will do Luv."
"Ok guys see ya later." She said as she kissed them both lightly on the lips. Had she not had her back to them walking away from them to grab her leather duster, and heading toward the door she would have seen the shocked looks on their faces.
"Peaches, she just kissed us."
"Yes, I'm aware."
"Ok, Peaches we got to discuss this now."
"What?" Angel said feigning ignorance, knowing very well what they needed to talk about.
"The subject you have been avoiding all this time, even before you broke up with the bloody Slayer for good."
"Spike, what the hell are you talking about?"
"The fact that we are both in love with Willow you Wanker."
“I wish you would stop calling me that.” Angel growled warningly.
“Not bloody likely.” Spike sneered.
Angel looked at his childe who stared at him intently. Though they had cooperated with each other during their search for Willow, they had not discussed this subject. They had grown closer, but not as close as they use to be in his old Angelus days.
He continued to stare at his childe as he let himself feel the emotions he stirred inside him. Reacting to his desire, and without really thinking about it, Angel grabbed Spike by the neck Spike looked in shock as he found himself pinned against the wall staring at his true Sire’s vise, a wave of lust rushed through him as he struggled against Angelus. He soon stopped when he left his lips possessed by him in a dominating kiss. Spike pulled away from him.
"First we discuss Willow."
"What is there to discuss, she belongs to neither of us." Angel said moving away from Spike, allowing his Childe to move away from the wall.
"But she could belong to both of us." Spike said resulting in a curious look from Angel.
"You'd be willing to share after everything with Dru?" Angel asked in true surprise.
"Peaches, your not like you were before, with Dru it was about making me suffer. I know you love Willow as much as I do."
"So be it, we will work together to gain Willow's love." Angel said as he moved toward the bathroom."
Spike looked at Angel in confusion as he walked away.
"What are you doing?"
Angel turned his head toward Spike grinning seductively.
"I'm going to go take a shower." When he got to the door he turned back toward Spike again seeing him still sitting on the couch. "Are you coming?" Angel saw Spike grin and get up.
"You bet."
