Blue Moon Love continued.

Blue Moon Love continued...

~~~~~~~

Spike opened the car door for her. < He cursed himself and Buffy because all
he could see were images of Willow naked and aroused in various sexual
positions. Snap out of it, think about... Buffy standing there barking
orders and waving landing lights, giving him instructions as to what to do
with Willow. > He laughed out loud.

" What's funny?" Willow asked feeling slightly paranoid. 

" Nothing Red, I was just thinking about how bossy your slayer friends is."
Spike replied.

< Yeah Buffy, cool sexy Buffy> Willow sighed sharply.

< Now what, small talk romantic small talk. > " Willow I must say you look
so beautiful tonight. That dress is...< not the dress you jerk, he could
almost hear Buffy chiding him> .. you.. look so < sexy, no I can't say that>
nice. Spike tried.

< I knew it I look like a cow this is such a mistake. I've got to sit across
from him all evening looking so damn handsome in that blue suit showing off
his amazing eyes, I want him so badly, have I no self respect...he's...>

" Shall we listen to the radio, Red?" he asked feeling uncomfortable with the
long silences. < Please don't close down even before dinner>

" Yeah, sure" she replied.

< OK something soft and romantic> he pushed the button and stopped when he
heard the call letters for an easy listening station. "Tonight we have a
dedication for a very special couple who are trying to find their way back to
one another" Here is Sarah McLachlan ' Witness':

Make me a witness,
Take me up,
Out of darkness out of doubt.
I won't weigh down with good intentions,
We'll make fire out of clay
Blood out of vengeance

Will we burn in heaven, like we do down here?
We'll change come while were waiting
Everyone is waiting (yes and you've all been so patient D. :))
And when we're done soul searching

And we carry the weight, die for a cause
Is misery made beautiful?
Right before our eyes
Mercy be revealed or blind us where we stand

Will we burn in heaven, like we do down here?
Will a change come while were waiting?
Everyone is waiting

Will we burn in heaven, like we do down here?
Will the change come while were waiting?
Everyone is waiting

They both sighed.

" Thank you for all the lovely flowers" Willow whispered. " The notes were
beautiful." She added

" I'm glad you like them, actually I need to thank a very special lady who
taught me how to read.. she opened up an amazing new world to me." Spike
smiled at her brightly.

Willow noticed how white his teeth looked in the dark and how even in the
dim light she could see his cheeks dimple slightly when he smiled like that.
She felt herself become aroused.

Spike shifted and his hands brushed against Willow's black silky stocking
clad leg. His mind conjured a picture of how creamy white her thighs would
look above the stockings. He felt himself harden.
He swallowed hard. " So" he rasped, "Giles tells me you all managed to
defeat the mayor's ascension."

Willow began to tell of the gang's adventure and defeate of the mayor.
Twenty minutes later Spike was turning into the exclusive French restaurant
Le Mer de la Lune.

" Oh this place is supposed to be so chic" Willow cooed.

" Nothing is to fine for you Pet,"he said offering her his arm as she
stepped out of the car. < Never mind that I had to bribe practically
everyone on the staff to get the best table.

Unknown to Willow or Spike, Willow's aroused emotional state and her Wiccian
powers were causing her to send off waves of sexual energy, once again.
Spike was impressed that despite a long line of customers the maitre rushed
over to seat them.
The older man was mesmerized by the redheaded beauty. He sat the couple on
the terrace with the best view of the ocean. The women gave him a smile and
he thought he might bust out of his pants.

< God how am I going to look at her beautiful face all night and not touch
her? I 'm so randy it's a good thing I don't have to breathe. >

Two different waiters in their hurry to get closer to the table with the
arousing redhead collided and their drink trays crashed to the terrace.
Willow and Spike turned to see the cause of the commotion. Spike noticed
that both men were staring at Willow with goofy smiles on their faces. <
What's that all about, she attractive but their acting a bit strange? An
expensive place like this I'd expect more professional staff.>

Willow felt like everyone was staring at her. < This was such a mistake;
people are staring because I look so funny in this dress. Who did I think I
was kidding my belly is hanging out and this dress is way too tight across my
breast. > Willow feeling uncomfortable, pulled at her bodice trying to
adjust herself.

Willow's movements brought Spike's attention to Willow's ample breasts. He
noted that the cool evening breeze and sheer silk of her dress didn't help
the situation as he could clearly see the outline of both her puckered
nipples. He felt himself harden even more, < his hands were itching to just
touch her, to keep his hand from shaking he picked up the water glass for a
sip. He made himself tear his gaze away. He looked casually at the two
nearest tables and he saw the men at both tables ogling Willow. He almost
choked on his water as he let out a growl.

" Did you say something?" Willow asked.

< How dare they stare at her like that...? With lust in their eyes I'll rip
their eyes out of their bloody sockets. > " Um... Are you cold Pet, do you
want to wear my jacket?" He asked hopefully.

 " No", I'm fine she said defiantly

 " Spike waved at the two waiters who were cleaning
up the mess they caused. Both jumped and practically pushed at one another
to get to the table. Both waiters stood next to their table and asked Willow
what she'd like to drink.

" I'll have a sparkling water with a twist of lime. Both men started to move
away as if Spike was invisible. " Hello, I'd like to order a scotch rocks."
Spike asked.

" When they left the table, Spike leaned closer towards Willow, " You'd think
for such a ritzy place they would have better staff."

" The view is gorgeous though" Willow replied, looking at the crashing surf
under the full moon.

" Yes, it is" Spike echoed staring at Willow.

Willow felt Spike's gaze and looked at him and smiled.

"Care to dance?" he asked.

" Oh... I.. don't.."

Spike had stood and had taken her hand. He felt a jolt of electricity go
through his body and ground in his cock. He shut his eyes for a moment.
Willow also felt like she was struck by lightening. < So I have no
self-respect, I'd do anything to spend a few minutes in his arms.. I don't
really care if the whole restaurant stares and laughs at me behind my back...
I'm getting pretty thick skinned if I do say so myself. >

Spike led Willow out onto the dance floor. He placed her hand unto his
shoulder and he took one hand in his and placed his other hand on her hip.
He looked into her emerald colored gems, " Red, I've missed you so much"
Willow's pupils dilated even more with sexual excitement. The male restaurant
patrons shifted uncomfortable in their chairs. Each silently cursed the
blond haired man.

Spike pulled Willow closer into his embrace, by moving his hand from her hip
to caress the small of her back. He could feel her body heat emanate from
beneath the sheer silk. His mouth placed a small kiss on the top of her ear
lobe. He felt Willow's exhaled breath against his neck. He marveled at the
feel of her hard little stomach against his waist. < Thank goodness little
man, if you weren't between us your mom would feel my hard arousal and
probably would slap me silly. > Willow had her hair pulled up on top of her
head leaving her neck bare, and silky whips of fire framed her face. Spike
ran his index finger from the top of Willow's neck down to the base of her
throat. He could feel Willow's rapid pulse.

~~~~~~
"Can't you hold it, We're about twenty minutes from Sunnydale?" Angel asked.

" No, and the highway is to wide open to just stop, pull in there." Xander
commanded.

" This isn't some fast food joint you can crash." Angel lectured

" Look, I'll just sneak round back into the bathroom and be back in a flash."

Xander moved round the terrace, keeping an eye out for snotty waiters. He
noticed a guy that looked an awful lot like Spike dancing with a redheaded
babe. <That GodDamn asshole, I'll kill him... back to woo Willow my ass. >
Xander dashed back to the car, " Spike's here with some bimbo"

" That bastard, Lets teach him a lesson he'll never forget" Angel growled.

Spike was just about to kiss Willow on the lips when he felt himself being
wrenched backward.
He felt his head snap back from the impact of a blow, as he staggered
backward.. He shook himself and saw Angel and Xander glaring at him
murdersouly.
"Prepare to die" the puppy threatened.

" Hey, what's the matter with you two?" Willow cried

" Willow" Angel and Xander cried out in surprise.

Spike saw Angel, < once again that bloody wanker has tried to come between
Willow and me, NEVER AGAIN> Spike moved towards Angel with vengeance on his
mind. He caught Angel in the gut, and Angel staggered back and crashed into
a table sending dishes and food flying.

" Hey, Don't hit him man." Xander replied, jumping to Angel defense, moving
towards the charging blond. Spike shoved Xander, " Out of my way Scrappy
Do".

Willow, was horrified, how could they be brawling like this, making a scene.
The wait staff came charging to try and break up the brawl. Several other
customers whom had been on testerone overload already jumped into the fray.

Willow fled in tears into the restaurant. She called Giles from the pay
phone outside the ladies lounge.

"Giles,... Please come and get me.." she cried

" Willow are you alright?" he asked his voice concerned.

She told him where she was and asked him to hurry.

Willow, went into the ladies lounge and cried her eyes out.

It took several minutes before the three men realized Willow was gone. Each
not noticing where she went began to swear and accuse one another of starting
it and upsetting her. By this time the local police had arrived with
reinforcements. Angel, Xander and Spike were placed under arrest for
disorderly conduct and property destruction. They argued but realized they
were in over their heads and vamping out in such a public way would cause
more trouble.

Willow had asked a waitress to come and get her when Giles arrived.

" Your ride's here Hon, she called to the crying girl."

Willow came out of the bathroom and threw herself into Giles arms.
Hr tried to make sense out of Willow's crying about Spike, Angel and Xander.
From what he had overheard as he came into the establishment and what Willow
was saying, the three had caused quite a scene brawling. < How dare they
upset her like this. I could ring all their necks. >

~~~~~~~~

Willow fell asleep on the short car ride back to the mansion. Giles swore he
would flay the hides off all three foolish men. < Hell Rupert, if you were
there you probably would have fought over her too>

The three foolish men were just finished being processed and were about to be
placed into a holding cell.

" Hey how about a phone call?" Xander asked. < Being cooped up with one Vamp
was bad enough I can't deal with two. >

" Make it quick," the policeman uttered.

" Hello, Giles"

Xander had to hold the phone away from his ear as Giles swore at him and told
him that all three of them could stay in jail till the hellmouth froze over
and slammed down the phone.

" Well, the good news is that Giles brought Willow home safe but the bad news
is that he's pissed and said we could rot here till we all turn to dust.

" How's Willow?" Spike asked worriedly

" Giles says she was very upset" Xander frowned.

" Everything was going so well… I… can't… what's.. the matter with you two…."
Spike growled with frustration at a loss for words.

" Hey she didn't look like my Willow, OK, I though she was some bimbo" Xander
explained.

Spike had Xander around the throat, " She not yours mate and not his either,"
Spike pointed at Angel despite what he thinks. Spike started to squeeze the
life out of Xander, ".. and she most certainly is not SOME BIMBO."

" Hey cut it out or were never going to get out of here." Angel complained.

~~~~~
Spike used his call to contact Buffy. She wasn't at home so he left a brief
message begging her to come and bail them out.

The policeman put the three into a very small holding cell.

" What's a guy have to do to get something to eat around here?" Xander whined.

" If you two have screwed this up for me, I swear I'll…. I'll…." Spike sat
down on the small cot looking defeated. " I don't know yet I need to think
of something you both truly deserve."

" Look man, I've been trying to make up for some of my past mistakes" Angel
admitted.
He shook his head towards Xander, you got to give me a little credit, after
all I've been saddled with him for about a week." "My time in hell was more
pleasant," Angel said sarcastically

~~~~~~~
At about 4:00 a.m.

" Buffy" Angel said.

Buffy took in the three men. Spike's new suit was torn at the sleeve; his
white shirt was all bloody. He had a nasty looking bruise on one of his
cheeks. Xander looked like his nose was broken, and he had a split lip.
Angel had a hellva shiner.

" You boys need to learn how to share, and play nice," she said sleepily.

" It took you long enough Slayer" Spike griped.

" When I returned from patrol, even before I got your message, there was a
message from Giles saying I was to leave your sorry asses in here overnight."
" I went to bed, then Giles called about an hour ago, hysterical, babbling
about Willow".

All three men grabbed the cell bars with both hands and pressed their faces
against the cold steel and asked in unison, " What about Willow"

Buffy explained in the car, " Well Willow has been having some funky sort of
dreams more like trances." "Giles says she chants something about feeding
dragons in Gaelic, and often this is accompanied by poltergeist type
activity. Tonight, he had fallen asleep in the library again and was awoken
by Willow chanting away and sleepwalking in a trance." "Giles followed her
up to the turret in the west wing of the mansion and he said she was about to
climb onto the ledge."

" Bloody hell" Spike swore. < I'm sorry Red, I'm so sorry >

"Giles wants us to work together to find out whether she possessed or what"
" You better be on your best behavior, and not upset Willow either, or else
Giles's will make me stake your asses." Buffy warned.

When they got to the mansion, they found Giles sitting in Willow's room
watching her sleep. Giles looked like shit. Spike thought his heart would
burst from his chest. Willow looked beautiful her fair complexion framed by
her red tresses. She was clutching Pandora in her arms.

Giles waved them into the hallway and library. " I want someone to watch
her when ever she is asleep
Angel I need you to review with me my translations of the Gaelic, and Xander
I want you to do a web search.

"I'll watch over her." Spike replied quickly moving back toward Willow's warm
light.

He took off his jacket and stripped out of his white shirt and slacks. He
silently crawled into bed next to her sleeping form and drew her into his
arms. Willow stirred slightly and sighed his name softy before curling up
against his side. Spike felt like he was home. He kissed her brow, " I'm
home kitten and I'm not ever letting you out of my sight again."

~~~~~~~~

Saber joined the couple on the bed, purring happily as she lay next to
Spike's shoulder. Spike lay awake listening to Willow's breathing and he
could feel her blood beating under her soft skin. She had rolled away from
him onto her side and he mirrored her movement so that he was spooning her.
He moved his hands across her slim hips and placed his hand upon her swollen
abdomen. <Hello son, Daddy's home.> Spike felt Willow's abdomen move under
his hand. " It's the baby" he yelped sitting bolt upright.

"What.. " Willow mumbled sleepily. "I felt the baby move... I felt him.."
Spike crowed.

" Spike, what are you doing here?" Willow sat up

Spike hugged Willow fiercely, "I felt our son move." he repeated in her ear.

Willow hugged him back. < Goddess, it feels so good to be close to him, he's
so happy about the baby. >

"Does it hurt Red? he asked concerned holding her by the shoulders.

" Does what hurt?" she asked.

" When he moves inside?"

" No," she smiled "it kinda tickles"

Spike caressed her face; Willow saw red tears in his eyes. "Willow, I love
you so much, I just want to take care of you and the baby, Please.. Please
let me start over... I won't mess up again." He implored.
"I'm so sorry for hurting you... Giles told us about the dreams.. and
trance.. I think I understand your fear a bit better. Willow I'm so afraid
to loose you and the baby... I don't think I would want to live either... As
a matter of fact I don't want to let you out of my sight."

The protective walls Willow had erected around her heart were no match for
Spike's vulnerability. The walls crashed and the desperate love and
affection she carried for him coursed through her body and soul.

Willow reached up to touch Spike's cheek and caught a single red tear.
Willow leaned in and kissed the tear tract softly.

Spike whimpered softly and caught her face gently between his two hands and
he gazed deeply into her emerald eyes. " I love you" he rasped and placed a
tender kiss on her lips.

Willow, whimper in reply and deepened the kiss. She ran her tongue against
his closed lips seeking entrance like she had so long ago when they first
kissed.

He moaned and opened his mouth to her. He pulled her into his embrace and
rolled her over him as he lay back against the bed. Saber growled deep in
her throat and jumped down from the bed. She was going to start looking for
a place to leave a present.

He kissed her neck and ran his hands over her back down to her ass.

" God you're so hard" she gasped.

"Baby, I've been rock hard since I saw you in that sexy black dress last
night." He ran his hands down and grasped the bottom of her cotton
nightshirt and pushed it up so that he could touch her skin. " Sit up Red,
Let me undress you." Willow moved to oblige. Spike lifted her nightshirt
and tossed it on the floor. He stopped and stared at Willow. Willow felt
his gaze burn into her flesh. She saw the fire in his eyes. He raised his
hands as if to touch her breasts but froze and brought his eyes up to meet
hers asking permission.

Willow, took his hand in hers and moved it to her breast. Spike inhaled
deeply, "Your nipples are darker in color he said in amazement" as her ran
his finger over the hard peaks.

Willow, hissed, "It's my hormones" she gasped and moved her hands to touch
Spike through his boxer shorts. She moved one hand into the slit and rubbed
her thumb under the sensitive tip and her forefinger across the head of his
cock. Spike squeezed his eyes shut. " Your touching me like that just with
your hands makes me want to come he growled. He rolled her back onto the bed
and Willow's other hand joined her first to grip his cock at the base and run
two fingers up his silky marble cock. " Slow down love, or I'm going to come
ahead of you. He pulled back from her torturous ministrations. He lifted
his hips and removed the constricting shorts. He asked Willow to roll over
onto her side.

She whimpered his name, " Spike" in frustration.

" Trust me Red". He slid his body up against her back and wrapped one arm
between her and the mattress and the other between her arm and her torso.
Spike placed his hands on her full breast and kissed and licked her neck.
She cooed and arched her ass back into his aching cock. He licked her ear
lobe and thrust his tongue into it. Willow cried out softly as Spike pinched
both her sensitive nipples between his fingers.

He moved one hand down to her hip and squeezed it gently. " I'm so wet she
mewled, I want you, please she cried. Spike's cock twitched violently and he
thrust his fingers down through her curls to rub against her clit. Willow
thrust against his hand away from his twitching cock. Spike needed to bury
himself into her.

He asked Willow to lift her leg and move it back slightly over his. Spike
angled his body closer to hers and Willow hissed as she felt his cock poised
at the back of her soaking passage. She arched her hips back and Spike
guided himself into her slowly. He morphed into his game face and bite into
his own lips, from the sheer pleasure of it. < Thank goodness she can't see
my face. > Spike left his one hand on her breast and used his other to tease
her clit as he slowly began to enter her. He broke out in a sweat as he
concentrated on going slowly and his body rejoiced in her hot tight passage.
Willow gasped and moaned she could feel his fingers pressing against her clit
from the outside and his cock rubbing against her from the inside. They had
never loved this way before and he filled her and pressed inside her sending
out incredible waves of new sensations.

She could feel Spike's balls rub against her ass, and then he was slowly
withdrawing from her, almost completely before her started to glide into her
again. " Oh God, she yelled, Fuck me". He bit into his lip harder and
sucked his own blood from his lips. " That's exactly what I'm doing love."
Spike continued this languid pace, increasing both their tensions. He pulled
and pinched her nipple and ran his finger around her clit every so often
brushing his thumb across her engorged sex. Willow didn't think she could
take too much more pleasure.

" I'm so close" she moaned.

"Me too baby." I want you to come with me OK."

"MMMM" she hissed.

Spike pulled back and slid into her until his balls caressed her cheeks and
he twisted her clit between his fingers. Willow let out a loud feral cry at
the top of her lungs and she clench down on him with her muscles, Spike
moaned and bit down hard on his own lips and tongue and he shot his seed into
her.

~~~~~

The Scooby gang heard Willow's feral yell. Angel morphed into his game face
and growled.

Xander having witnessed Willow cry out like that before when she and Spike
did the nasty, knew what was going on.

Giles jumped up from the table, knocking his chair back onto the floor moved
towards the hallway.

Buffy intercepted him, her face flaming. 

" He's.. hurting her, Buffy" Giles growled.

Buffy just shook her head. It hit him suddenly. He shut his eyes and turned
and walked out into the garden.

~~~~~~

Buffy gave Giles a minute and followed him out into the courtyard.
" Are you OK?" She asked touching his arm.

" Yes, of course." He replied.

"You really love her too don't you? "

"Yes, I suppose so, " he replied sheepishly.

"Willow is special, to have four men completely gaga over her, and if it were
anyone other than Willow, Well I just might stake her." "Willow loves you
and Xander so much, and even Angel a little too. She would do anything for
any of us without even thinking. I guess her kindness, compassion and
loyalty make her so lovable."

"Yes, she is very special." Giles said taking off his glasses to wipe them
nervously.

"Giles she is so in love with Spike, and he is so much in love with her he's
forsaken his pride, and in spite of him being a vampire, he is really trying
to do what is best for her.

~~~~~~

"I think you should talk with him about giving it a rest for Christ sakes."
Xander grumbled.

"Me?" Angel's voiced squeaked in disbelief.

"Yeah, that ought to go over well." Angel replied

"She pregnant for God's sake." Xander whispered.

"No!" Angel mocked. "Xander in Ireland men and women had relations
practically up until the baby is born and start again soon thereafter."

" Yuck" Xander said shaking his head.
~~~~~

Spike held Willow tightly, as they both returned from their passion induce
daze. Spike his human face in place lifted himself upon his elbow to look
down into Willow's flushed face. " Are you alright…?" he asked searching her
face for discomfort or regret.

She rolled over onto her back and brought her hand up to caress his face.
"I missed you so much," she said softly, running her hands over his angular
cheeks and full lips.
Her green eyes still dark with passion. "I've never been better." She
replied giving him her sweet Willow smile.

"He lowered his head to capture her lips and stroked her cheek softly. As
their kiss deepened he moved his hand upward to tangle in her fiery tresses.

" Mmm" she broke away, "bathroom".

Spike rolled out of bed first to allow Willow to get up. He noticed Pandora
the stuffed penguin lying on the floor and Saber was curled up against her
sleeping. Willow spied this also and smiled then she pointed and began to
laugh. Spike followed her finger and noted that Saber had left a liquid
present upon his dress shirt that he had dropped on the floor. "S'not funny,
Luv," he replied. Willow, picked up her robe and slipped it on. Spike
pulled on his discarded navy blue dress slacks. " What am I supposed to
wear?"

" Angel or Giles will loan you a shirt." she chuckled as she entered the
bathroom.

Spike was right behind Willow,

" Spike do you mind?" she cried indignantly.

" What?"

"A little privacy " she flushed raising her eyebrow

"Red, I wasn't kidding when I said I wasn't letting you out of my sight." He
grinned.

" Out, Now!" she said turning him around and gave him a shove.

" All right then, be that way." He said to the closed door.
"I'm fix you something to eat then." He offered.

Spike went into the kitchen to make Willow some food. Buffy entered a few
moments later.
"That's the way all demons should be barefoot, bare chested and in the
kitchen." she said laughing.

" Very funny Pet," he replied making a third jelly sandwich. " Are there any
pickles in the icebox? " he asked.

Buffy handed Spike the pickles. "So from the sounds of it you two are back
together?" Buffy teased

" Bloody hell you weren't listen at the door were you?" he asked in disbelief.

" No!" "Will yelled loud enough to wake the dead in the Riverview Cemetery"
Buffy laughed.

" You mean to tell me everyone heard?" he asked lowering his voice to a
whisper.

Buffy nodded her head. "I'm so glad you followed my advice about waiting and
taking it slow." She said rolling her eyes.

" Page 142," he said.

" What?" Buffy asked.

"Page 142" Spike winked and left a blushing Buffy in the kitchen.

Spike entered the room and Angel and Xander shifted nervously. Willow had
her hair pinned up damp from the shower. She stood in the doorway her hands
on her hips and gave Xander and Angel a cold stare.
Spike grinned, 

"Well, what do you have to say for yourselves?" she scolded.

" It was Xander,'s fault.." Angel began.

" He threw the first punch." Xander pointed at Angel.

" It was your stupid idea,.

"We're sorry we upset you and caused a scene." Angel replied.

" Yeah, Wills, sorry."

" You both should be, you ruined a wonderful evening." Willow answered.

" Red, I know how they could make it up to you?" Spike piped up.

" Stay out of it fang face." Xander snarled.

" I think Willow deserves a romantic evening since you stooges interrupted
last nights dinner, I'll like to try again tonight." "To limit distractions
and unforeseen interruptions, I would very much like to dine alone with
Willow here at the mansion."

" You two can help by getting lost for the night." Spike suggested.

Willow, darling come, I've fixed you some food" he said pointing to the
conference table.

She graced him with a smile and walked over. He pulled out her chair. " Oh
my favorite, strawberry jam sandwiches and pickles" she cooed. "Thank you"

Spike leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips. " Your Welcome darling."

" I'm going be sick with the Ozzie and Harriet show." Xander griped. 

Giles came in from the yard.

"Good Morning, Spike Willow" he cleared his throat. " There really isn't a
good time to talk about this but we must…" Giles said in lecture mode.

" About last night Willow… What do you remember?" he asked.

Willow blushed scarlet, " Remember about what?" she asked trying to sound
like she hadn't had slow hot sex with Spike.

Giles, blushed, " Before… earlier in the evening… you fell asleep in the car
on the way home. I woke you and you changed and went to bed… shortly after
that? He inquired.

" I don't remember anything till Spike woke me this morning." She answered.

"Giles, I didn't get wiggy and break things again did I?" she asked concerned.

" Actually Willow, this was much worse than before." He replied.

" This kind of thing has happened before?" Spike cried. " Why didn't you
bloody tell me?" he roared.

"Willow has been under extreme emotional distress and you being one of the
primary causes, I didn't see fit to discuss it with you." Giles responded
tightly.

"Guys, Chill we're all on the same side, remember?" Buffy interjected.

" What happened, Giles?" Willow asked.

" I nodded off in here and I heard you chanting in Gaelic again it seemed to
be the same phrase." "This time you were sleepwalking or in some type of
trance." " I followed you, … you walked to the west wing and went upstairs
to the old turret and attempted to climb out onto the ledge. Thank goodness
I was right behind you." He replied shakily.

" You mean, I was going to jump?" she asked frightened.

" It would appear so, Yes."

" I don't remember?" " Am I possessed or something?" Willow stood up.

Spike hugged her. " It's all right, we'll figure it all out, besides, I'll
keep you safe now."

" I asked Angel to check my translations from the Gaelic and he agrees with
my interpretations."

" Willow chants bits and pieces of the same thing over and over. Her body
doesn't appear to undergo any physical changes, outside of increased
respiration but the amount of physic energy you emit is significant enough to
move objects" He explained. "Last night you created practically gale force
winds."

" What is it she repeats?" Spike asked.

Giles read the translation:
"We shall be laid together in the night,
And ruder and more violent, be assured,
Then the desirous body's heat and sweat
That shameful kiss by more than night obscured
Wherewith at length the scornfullest mouth is met.
Life has no friend; her converts late or soon
Slide back to feed the dragon with the moon."

"The last stanza more so than any of the others."

" I had Xander do an internet search, and nothing matched up so far." Giles
continued.

Sike took the piece of paper from Giles, " This is somewhat familiar to me…
but I don't know from where."
