Chapter 3
Willow was dreaming of Spike. She could hear Spike purring softly while kissing her neck. He started making ringing noises - dream Spike was ringing. 'What is going on,' she thought. Slowly the realization hit her that her phone was ringing. She reluctantly woke up and answered.
"Hello?" Willow asked groggily.
"Willow, yes good to hear you're there."
"Giles? Huh? Uh, yeah I guess I was sleeping. What's up?"
"Did you and Spike find anything out about that demon from Willy? I assumed that the two of you would come back and let us know what information you were able to acquire," Giles said.
"Oh! Yes, well... wait, Spike didn't stop by to tell you?" Willow asked with some concern in her voice.
"Well no he didn't. What did the two of you learn from Willy?" Giles asked.
"The demon is benevolent. Not evil. So no worries for Buffy. Spike really didn't show last night?" Willow hadn't thought he would skip out like that. Granted Spike was a vampire, but he was chipped. And he had promised her that he would stop by Giles' place.
"Benevolent? Well good. I will most certainly let Buffy know that she will not have to do anything as far as the demon is concerned. Thank you, Willow," Giles said and hung up.
Willow just looked at the phone for a minute then got up and grabbed her things to take a shower. She glanced at Buffy's bed and noticed she hadn't come home last night. Good thing too, 'What with Spike being here and all,' she thought. 'I'll just shower and head over to Giles'.

"Spike..." a female voice whispered in his ear. Spike purred. He was in his dream, the figure touching and caressing him. Some recognition came to him when he heard the voice. "Red?" Spike said lazily finally opening his eyes in his dream. He saw the flow of red hair where there was once only a shadow. Then it hit Spike. "Red!" he yelled as he woke up.
'What the bloody hell was that,' Spike thought trying to shake the cobwebs from his head.
He finally got to looking at his surroundings. He was chained up in an unfamiliar room. "Bloody hell!" Spike cried out. 'Where the hell am I,' Spike wondered, 'and how the bloody hell did I get here? And why is Red in my dreams?'
Spike started yanking on his restraints testing their resistance. "Hello? Look nice joke okay. Real funny. Now let me go and I will try very hard not to rip your bleeding head off!!"
"Tsk, tsk. Should learn some manners for my Mistress," the fledgling said while walking towards the chained up Spike.
"Your Mistress, eh?" Spike asked. 'A new vamp in town? Interesting.' "And who would your Mistress be then?"
"Well, Spike," the vamp spit his name out, "you'll find out soon enough when she wakes up."
"Great, a pompous fledgling. Just what I need. Look if ya don't mind I have better things to be getting on with right now. So, just go get her and we can get this over with."
"George!" a female voice cried from outside the room.
"Gary," the fledgling mumbled. "My name is Gary. In here Mistress. I have a present for you!"
Just then a blond in a sheer nightgown walked through the door. "What present?"
"Oh, bloody hell you've got to be kidding me. Harm? Harmony's your Mistress?!" Spike asked laughing his head off.
"Blondie bear?! Oh my God! Spike!" Harmony came running over to kiss him. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, it seems your little minion over there decided I'd be a nice trophy or something. Now if you don't mind Harm..." Spike indicated the shackles.
"Oh! Yeah. George, get the shackles. Why did you do that?" Harmony asked, still hanging all over Spike.
"But, Mistress, I thought you would like him." Gary said a little disbelievingly.
"Well duh! But do you know who he is? This is, like, William the Bloody. My Blondie Bear. You can't just string him up like this," Harmony said on a pout.
"But he works for the Slayer now, Mistress," he said.
Harmony jumped away from Spike in disgust. "The Slayer? You work for the Slayer?! Oh, Spikey! How could you? That's just, wrong!"
"Well Ducks, it's not like I have a choice in the matter you see. Damned Soldier Boys took away my bite. One big cock up that was," Spike said hoping to get the sympathy angle and be let the hell out of the chains.
Harmony looked at him skeptically. Gary thought he was talking a load of crap just to get out. He hoped his mistress wouldn't fall for the ploy. 'Then again she is a blonde,' Gary thought.

Willow headed towards Giles' house. She was still having a hard time getting the dream out of her mind. 'Spike? Why am I dreaming about him? I don't even like him like that. I mean, yeah, he's hot and yummy and probably a great kisser. Oh gosh,' Willow thought.
Then she remembered that Spike hadn't shown up at Giles' last night like he said he was going to. Not that Spike was reliable, but she thought for sure he would have dropped a line, or a note, or something.
She headed out to see if Spike was at his crypt. 'He could have just forgotten or didn't feel like dealing with it and decided to let me tell Giles.'
Willow arrived at his crypt and drew in a deep breath. Thoughts of Spike's tongue were still running through her head. 'I can't do this,' she thought. 'Oh well, here goes nothing.'
She knocked on the door, "Spike?" No answer. She opened the door and slipped in. "Spike are you here?" She took a look around the crypt. TV, chair, mini-fridge, and bed. 'No Spike. That's odd. It's not like he can go traipsing off during the day.' Willow left Spike's crypt and headed for Giles' apartment.
Willow arrived at Giles' apartment and walked in. He was on the phone and drinking tea when she walked in. He nodded to her and she went and grabbed a book off the shelf to peruse until he got off.
"Okay...goodbye." Giles hung up and turned to Willow. "Uh, hello."
"Hi Giles," Willow said and shut the book. "Who was that?"
"Well, it was a friend of mine."
"Oh, Giles, I uh, wanted to ask you if you had seen Spike."
"Well, no. Not since last night when you two left to go talk to Willy. You know you really should have come back and told me about the demon being benign. What did you say the name of it was again?" Giles asked.
"Oh, well, um..." Willow stuttered, blushing slightly, "we didn't actually make it to Willy's. Spike kinda already knew the demon wasn't evil. He just well, uh...wanted your money I suppose. Oh, and he said the name was Thorax or Gorthax or something like that. He wasn't sure and he said it would leave after it got whatever it needed."
"Still you two should have told me sooner," Giles reprimanded her. He took off his glasses to clean them. "Honestly, Willow, I would have thought you at least would have called me to let me know. It would have saved me time. Did Spike say what it was after?"
"He didn't. He took me home and told me that he was going to come here and tell you about the demon and then I fell asleep. Then you call and tell me that he didn't come. I went to his crypt and he's not there. What could have happened to him? I..."Giles stopped Willow mid-babble.
"Willow, I'm sure everything is okay. Spike probably got stuck somewhere during the day before he could get to his crypt." he said soothingly.
"No," Willow stated firmly. "Something doesn't feel right about this."
