After hanging up the phone she grabs her robe and heads into the bathroom and takes a hot bath to just soak her aching body. As she lays there she starts thinking about that night in Ga, and she starts to cry over. Not understanding why it had to happen.
Her mother is in the next room, she hears the sobs coming from the bathroom and she heads to the bathroom. She knock on the door then walks in and sees her only child crying her eyes out.
"Willow, honey, what's wrong?" her mother ask.
"Why couldn't it of been me?" Willow cried.
"why couldn't what be you honey?" She asked.
"That night in Ga, why couldn't it of been me," Willow said, between sobs.
"Oh Willow, i thought all that was behind you now," her mom said.
"Mom how could it be behind me, since i've been back i've been mean to my friends mom, my friends, i even got into a fight today with this new girl, and that's so not me, i even hate going to school, and i use to love school," Willow said, wiping her tears.
"I'll tell you what your dad and i will take you to see Marsha in the morning," Her mother said.
"Your shrink, why?" Willow asked.
"Because she will help you through this honey," Her mom said.
"Fine i'll go," Willow said, grabbing her towel.
"Are you going out tonight?" her mom asked.
"yeah i'm meeting the gang at the bronze," Willow said, drying her hair, as she walks to her room.
“Hey Willow,” her mom said, walking out of the bathroom.
“Yeah mom,” she said, poking her head out her bedroom door
“Happy birthday honey,” she said.
“thanks mom, I thought you forgot,” Willow said.
“Why would you think that?” Her mom asked.
“You have all the other times,” Willow said.
Willow throws the towel onto her bed as she walks to her closet door, opening it she grabs her black skirt and red blouse. After getting dressed she fixes her make and her hair. Then take one last look in the mirror, and hops that none will even notice that she’s been crying. Then heads out grabbing the keys on the way out. Climbs in the car. She gets ready to pull out when she sees this nice black Nissan frontier 4 door pick up behind her. She gets out and goes in
“What the hell, MOM DAD,” Willow yelled.
“what is it Willow?” Her dad asked.
“There’s a nice pick up parked behind me,” Willow said.
“HMMM, go out there and move it,” her dad said.
“Great I have to move someone’s damn truck,” Willow mumbled, on her way out.
As she opened the door to the truck all these birthday balloons came floating out, “Oh shit, what the,” she said. As they all cleared out she noticed a present on the seat. Picking it she unwraps it finding keys and a note inside.
My dearest Willow,
Happy birthday this nice truck is yours, you’ve been admiring this truck since your were 14 years old. You always told you wanted a truck when you turned 17. So you could drive your friends around so here your very own pick up truck.
Love, mom and dad
“this truck is really mine?” Willow asked, as she ran up to hug them.
“All yours, now go have fun,” her mom said.
“thanks mom, dad I so love it,” Willow said, climbing into the truck and starting it.
As she pulls out of the drive way and cruises down the road to meet Buffy and Xander at the corner, she sees there already there waiting on her with Donnie standing beside Buffy. She pulls up to the curb.
“UH OH, this can’t be good,” Buffy said, eyeing the truck.
“What should we do Buffy?” xander asked.
“It’s probably nothing Xander,” Buffy said.
“Yeah Xander, it’s nothing,” Donnie said.
The next thing they knew was the door opening, they just couldn’t see who was inside. Until they shut the door they were surprise to see it was Willow driving this nice ass pickup
“WILLOW! Wow nice wheels,” Buffy said, walking up to her.
“You finally got the truck you been dreaming about, nice,” Xander said.
“What’s the occasion?” Donnie asked.
“It’s a birthday gift from my parents, what no little sis tonight?” Willow asked, looking around.
“She’s with some friends of hers,” Donnie said.
“Why Willow are we starting to like Tara?” Buffy said.
“WHAT! Hell no Buffy,” Willow said.
“So can we take a ride in your truck?” Xander asked.
“Yeah come on lets head to the bronze,” Willow said, as they all hopped into the pickup.
“WOW! This is roomy,” Buffy said.
“yeah I know it has lots of room,” Willow said, pulling away from the curb
CHAPTER THREE
Later at the bronze they were all sitting around the table listening to the band play and watching all the couples dance. Willow looks up and sees a blonde girl in a mini leather skirt and a black silk shirt that came to her belly button showing a whole lot of skin. She sat there starring at this at this girl the way she moved to the music.
“Will, hey Will,” Buffy said, waving her hand in front of her face.
“UM, what Buffy,” Willow said, shaking her head to clear it.
Geez, Willow where did you go?” Xander asked, following her gaze to the dance floor
“Um, what no where,” Willow said, looking back at this girl.
“WOW! I see where you went,” Xander said, checking the girl out.
“Who is that?” Buffy asked, following there gaze.
As if on cue the girl turns around and looks straight at Willow and smiles. To everyone’s surprise it was Tara, Donnie just laughs and shakes his head
“Wow Willow you just checked out Tara,” Xander teased.
“Shut up Xander no I didn’t,” Willow said, grabbing her drink.
“I do believe you were checking out my sister,” Donnie said, winking at her.
“Screw you Donnie, I wasn’t checking out your stupid sister,” Willow said, all mad.
“I think you were Will I saw you,” Xander said.
“The hell with this I’m leaving,” Willow said, getting up, as she turns around to leave she bumps right into Tara.
“Oh sorry, hi Willow,” Tara said.
“Just get out of my way Tara,” Willow said, pushing her out of the way.
“Wow sis at least she didn’t call you a freak,” Donnie said.
“Yeah I’m surprised by that, I’ll go talk to her,” Tara said, heading in the same direction
As Tara walks past everyone in on the dance floor and out the door, she spots Willow starting to get in her truck. She runs over to her Willow looks up.
“Go back inside and leave me alone,” Willow said.
“Can we maybe talk?” Tara ask.
“What for, and why do I even want to talk to you,” Willow said
“Well for starters I wanted to say sorry for fighting with you,” Tara said.
“HA, I’m not the least bit sorry,” Willow said
“You know Willow, I know you use to be a nice person, you only became a bitch when you got back from your trip in GA,” Tara said.
“What the fuck do you know about that?” Willow asked, snapping her head around to look at Tara.
“N-N-nothing, it’s just Xander and Buffy said you use to be a very sweet girl,” Tara said.
“Well…….
“Look at what we have here,” A voice said.
“Tara get behind me,” Willow said, grabbing a stake from Buffy’s purse.
“OH MY GOD! What is that?” Tara asked, standing behind her.
“Where’s the slayer?” the voice asked.
“none of your business,” Willow said.
“OOH is the slayer’s little friend going to fight me?” the voice said.
“If I have to, I will,” Willow said.
“What, your going to use your powers on me Witch,” he said
“If it comes to that,” Willow said.
“What’s going on Willow?” Tara asked, in panic mode.
“Leave them alone,” A voice said, behind them.
“Spike!” Willow said, turning around.
“yeah nice truck, lets do this,” he said.
“stay down Tara,” Willow said, running up to a vamp.
As blow were begin swapped and vamps begin staked, One vamp grabs Tara and one grabs Willow from behind and takes them away as bait for Buffy. The rest retreat leaving spike. Who heads inside to find Buffy
“Buffy,” Spike said, out of breath.
“Oh great what now Spike?” Buffy ask
“It’s Willow and that blonde chick she with,” spike said.
“Oh great now what are they fighting again?” Donnie asked
“What no, wait red was fighting with a girl, anyway they were taken,” Spike
“WHAT! My sister was taken by who?” Donnie asked, standing up.
“Spike, what are you talking about?” Buffy asked.
“you know the ones with ugly faces and sharp teeth,” Spike said.
“Oh gods, c’mon lets go guys,” Buffy said, running to the door, with xander and Donnie following
“What’s going on, what was he talking about?” Donnie asked.
“Donnie, I’ll explain later but right now we have to get willow and your sister back before it’s to late,” Buffy said, as they climbed into Willow’s car. Ok spike where did they take them.
“My guess would be the caves in the woods 20 miles out side of town, I take it farm boy here doesn’t know,” spike said.
“alright let’s head to my house and gear up,” Buffy said, peeling out of the parking lot.
“Gear up, will some one tell me what the hell is going on?” Donnie asked.
“I told you that I will explain later,” Buffy said.
CHAPTER FOUR
Pulling into the driveway the four of them jump out heads up the front porch steps to Buffy's house. And straight over to the weapons chest, opening the chest to reveal every kind of weapon know to the vampire world. Buffy looks up and sees the look on Donnie's face she smiles and mouths the words "later". they run back out to the truck laying the weapons in the back, climbing in and peeling out of the drive way.
Mean while inside the caves Willow wakes up grabbing her head and looks around the caves, her eyes fall on a figure in the corner she walks over and bends down and shakes her
"OW my head, where are we?" Tara asked, sitting up.
"We're in some kind of cave," Willow said, helping her up.
"What happened, who were those guys and what was wrong with there faces?" Tara asked.
"they were vampires," Willow said.
"VAMPIRES! no way vampires don't exisit," Tara said.
"Guess what Tara they do, right here in good old sunnydale,
