Part Six
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A swift breeze pushed its way through the night air, passing over Willow's pajama clad body. The sudden thrust of wind made her shudder. But the intense heat in her stomach fueling hr anger kept her somewhat warmer and distracted her mind from the cold.
"Now what?" Willow curled her upper lip,"You're just a ghost. What is it you wanted from us all this time?"
"Well," Vic fluttered his hands suggestively.
"Tell me, I know it's not just because you're looney." Willow continued, she lowered her face, letting only her eyes remain on Vic.
"Alright, I'll share." Victor folded his arms, his gaze meeting hers."This body I inhabit is not truly mine. This," he gestured down at himself. "This is just a photocopy of what my living body looked like before I killed myself." Vic continued, his eyes widening and his bottom lip began to tremble.
"Photocopy?" Willow passively brought her knees to under her chin, she wrapped her arms around her shins, cradling herself.
Vic continued, rubbing the soles of his ghostly boots on the ground."The real plan is this: my ethereal body won't last for long, and with that I will cease to exist and I'll get sucked back into the afterlife. Sure the afterlife's not bad and all, but I don't want to step into it, just yet. Y'know I didn't even.. .. Haven't even .. You know, with a girl."
"Bought groceries?" Willow gritted her teeth, unsuccessfully trying to hide a smile.
"Hardee, har, har!" Vic passed his sight over Willow's head and out to the sky.
"As I was saying, what I want to happen is this: My ethereal body is nothing more than a loner. I need a fresh dead body to take over. I couldn't take my old human body back, so I made a buddy, a parasitic buddy that one over and help me with my master plan. I can't possess an alive body, or dead one, because of all the valves, arteries, and stuff that aren't mine to take over. But, and there is a big but.. ."
Willow checked her derriere to make sure he wasn't talking about her "butt".
Victor rolled his eyes noticing Willow's movement. "So Seth took over my old body, and persona, in order to lure my old friends into my trap, but you see none of my old friends had the right body type. Y'know how sucky that is? So I let Seth have my old friends for "lunch", he killed them. Until Seth and I found a very good candidate for my new body. Xander."
Willow's jaw dropped,"You're going to take over Xander!?"
"Rightamundo, my pale as paper beauty. The only thing that stopped us last time was your blonde haired, skin tight cloth wearing, perky.. .." Vic would've began to drool if he could.
"Buffy." Willow answered back.
Out of his trance. "Yeah, her, and that dumbass vampire! So in order to save face, and before any of you people could find out the whole truth, Seth and I had to stage "Fake Vic's" death. It was raining, and I caught up with Buffy fighting with Seth, and man did she do damge to my old body! So to continue with our little death scene, I raised Seth over my head and threw him off the roof. where he exploded on impact on the concrete below, also wiped out some chick. Cordelia's her name, I think. But the rain was good for Seth's true form to slither about into the sewers and out of harm's way. I had to make some bullcrap story to your Buffy friend to get her out of our hairs, and give us enough time to plan, then retaliate."
Willow let the new knowledge slip into her head. "So you wanted to kidnap Buffy, and then have Xander tag along, even Angel, maybe even me. Then you would, um.. . Kill Buffy, take over Xander and get rid of me and Angel. A perfect revenge."
"You win a prize, young lady!" Vic began to strut around.
"Why would you allow yourself to be so evil toward the people that cared about you?" Willow's head tilted, her expression of pain was immediately noticeable.
"Little girl. If you were in my boots, you'd know what I was going through. Not even my closest friends will be immune to this. I made a big mistake by committing suicide, and I'm afraid of staying dead." Vic answered.
A small tear trailed down Willow's left eye, and past her lips.
'Why do these things happen to people, to become so heartless?' she sadly thought to herself.
* * *
"What the hell!" Buffy yelled out,"Oh my god! You're the same freak I fought on top of the Bronze a while ago, aren't you? You're that parasite thingie, just in another body!"
Seth lightly placed his left hand on his face, in a pure expression of false surprise,"Duh!"
"Well, I guess you're in for another boot-in-the-ass experience again." Buffy rolled up her pajam sleeves.
"No, not this time blondie, your friends are not going to help you." White fluid shot out of seth's mouth, aiming towards Angel and covering him instantly, the white murky build-up hardened and Angel slumped to the ground.
Xander stepped back. "Oh man, now that was disturbing-looking." He looked at Buffy cautiously.
"And you, silly clown faced boy! We need you!" Seth's wrist opened, and white tentacles shot out like samll hurried worms. The worms encased Xander, writhing around his body, causing him to slam into a nearby wall.
Buffy gritted her teeth, and began to ferociously run towards Seth.
A white shard shout out of Seth's mouth, smacking into Buffy's forhead, then darkness set in.
* * *
A While later...
"Oohh, that wasn't a good feeling" Buffy summers muttred,"What happened?" With her forefinger, she pressed the middle of her forehead, feeling a slight painful sensation. "Owie, Ow, Ow," she ontinued the mantra. Buffy rubbed both of her eyes vigorously, making her vision clearer. "Where am I?" She continued to herself.
"You're still here babe-a-liscious." Seth grumbled back, keeping his eyes on his fingernails which he ferociously chewed at.
"Oh yeah, you." The memoris trickled back into Buffy's mind,"How long was I out?"
"Oh, about a minute," Seth answered back, mocking her,"Don't worry, nothing happened while you were conked out, I can only last about a minute and thirty seconds."
Buffy's facial expression was more than just disgust.
"What, I would've gotten tired after a minute and a half of trying to wake you up.. .. I get bored easily! What were you thinking!" Setheyed her suspicously.
Buffy dropped her jaw, but couldn't help smiling a little at the misunderstanding.
"Oh well, enough of my spiel, I have to wait for Vic to come down here with your red-headed friend. Hey speaking about you and her being friends, I notice the two of you have pajamas on tionight. For, um, some strange reason. Have you and your Willow friend ever pillow fight, and then wrestling.. ," Seth began to drool white fluid.
Buffy stopped him mid sentence,"God you're a pig!"
"Eh, I have a lot of free time." Seth stared down at his boots, rubbing his left sole on his right heel.
Buffy tried to raise herself from the sitting position off the ground, but something tugged her back. Her waist had been tied to two bolts on th floor. "What in the name of S&M is this?!" Buffy shouted.
" Well, I had to make sure you were restrained, sweeie pie." Seth giggled,"Just like your two idiot friends, Count Chocula and Xandick over there."
Buffy slowly scanned her eyes across the room, finally resting them on the sight of Xander and Angel snugly tied together.
Seth rolled his eyes skyward,"Oh those two numbnuts? Well you should've heard their conversations about you." Seth smiled wickedly, looking at the two male's expressions of instant fear.
"C'mon man! Don't say anything," Xander shouted towards Seth in a frantic tone. Angel shook his head in protest too. "C'mon, don't say." Angel gave a little wave to Buffy, she eyed him suspicously, and turned her view back to Seth.
"What did they say?" she muttered.
Angel and Xander sunk their heads into their shoulders, waiting for the full blast of embarrasment to follow. "Well, let's just say these two freaks are (*Cough*) smitten by you. Like for instance when Xander was talking about the dance you had with him, he had to walk home hunchback style, and cramped his right hand later that night, if you catch my drift!" Angel laughed, and Xander shook his right foot threateningly at Seth.
"I'm gonna kick your ass, hotdammit!"
Seth shook his head, and looked at Angel laughing," And you don't want to talk, Mr. "Interview with a whimpire." Then you were talking about how if you took Buffy to England for consenting laws, you wouldn't be committing a crime!"
Angel stopped laughing and his jaw dropped.
"I hang out with pervert and a freak, a Pervert and a Freak!" Buffy's eyes, narrowed as she grimaced.
"Maybe you should be afraid of the friends you already have, and not some of the monsters you fight," Seth, walked towards Buffy, and knelt down," Anything with testosterone pumped into the main blood is bound to be evil!"
* * *
The minutes passed by, and Willow feverishly moved her bottom around, so her backside wouldn't fall asleep on her. Vic tried to entertain Willow by singing eighties songs which she guessed correctly over and over.
"Relax, don't do it! When you wanna.."
"Frankie goes to Hollywood."
"Damn!" Vic answered back.
Willow sucked the air through her teeth which made a slight visable annoyance to Victor.
"That sound hurts my ears," Vic stuck out his bottom lip.
"So you can fel pain?" Willow asked in a low tone of of voice.
"Yeah, sorta." Vic lamented.
"Good." Willow mumbled.
"What?" Vic muttered, his tone demanding. He took a few steps closer to the annoying little girl.
Willow's foot moved up, kicking him solidly in the groin, and sending Victor crashing towards the ground. Victor smashed his fists into the cement, cracking the surface of the pavement just a little bit, while Willow hurridly raced for a way down the stairs.
"She kicked me in the mini-globes! In the mini-globes!" Vic gritted his teeth.
