**Part one*

Willow walked into Giles's courtyard, gazing at the newly fallen snow.

It had been snowing for almost a week and it lay in a thick blanket covering everything.

Willow loved snow - and true it didn't happen often in Sunnydale - especially in the middle of summer vacation?

Walking into Giles's apartment - Willow was taken aback by the shouting - it seemed to be coming from all sides.

The only one not participating was Spike; he was sitting on the sofa looking bored.

His eyes snapped to hers and he grinned, "Hi pet - come on in and join the madness"

Giles's spotted her and bellowed at them all to shut up.

"ENOUGH! - SHE'S HERE NOW SO SHE CAN DECIDE FOR HER BLOODY SELF!"

Willow stood in shock "Er hi guys - What cha' doing?" she asked - completely flummoxed at the scene she had just witnessed.

Plopping down on the sofa next to Spike, she asked him quietly "What the hell's going on?" Spike shrugged his shoulder and told her "Ask the Watcher Pet?"

Leaning back, he lit his cigarette and enjoyed the show.

"Willow I need to ask you a favour" Giles's told her, his eyes full of fury.

"Okay-what's going Giles's? Why were you all shouting at each other?"

"Did you do this?" Buffy snapped, gesturing to the out outside the window.

Willow frowned "You think I...." she spluttered.

"Wouldn't be the first time Will - remember me and Anya getting chased all over town by demons," Xander snapped.

Willow was at a loss.

"You really think I had something to do with this?" Willow shouted jumping to her feet.

< Go RED! - look at that fire! > Spike grinned, as the Redhead started pacing around the room.

"Come on Willow-if you've been playing with your magic tricks again I need to know?" Buffy fumed.

"I don't fancy kissing deadboy over there again," She snarled, shooting Spike a nasty look.

"Like I would luv? - took me weeks to get Slutty taste out of my mouth" he cried back.

"Now everyone calm down - you weren't the only ones to be effected by the spell-I went BLIND remember?-we need to talk about this calmly," Giles told them.

"What the hell is this all about Giles's?-I came over here because you wanted to talk to me, when I get here suddenly I’m attacked by m cal called friends!" Willow raged.

"Well it seems that this odd weather is the result of a spell-I was wondering if you knew anything about it." Giles's asked softly.

"No I don't - I haven’t done a spell in weeks-now if that was all. GOODNIGHT!" she cried.

Pulling open the door, she stalked into the night.

The gang sat there opened mouthed.

"-I w-I was sure she had something to do with it" Buffy frowned

"I don't believe you lot-you want her to do a spell to end this, a spell which could end up with her dead- yet before you even ask her about that you attack her. Great friends you are" Spike spat.

“Spike you know I need to find out the cause of this. If it were Willow it would be a lot easier to reverse, now it seems are worst fears are right. I’ll go and talk to Willow”

Giles’s told him, rising to leave.

“No you bloody won’t, think you lot have all said enough to her tonight don’t you? Hardly treated the chit fairly now did you?”

Getting up he walked out the door.

"He's right Buffy-We shouldn't have attacked like that-it wasn't fair," Giles's told her softly.

"We needed to know-I'll go talk to her. She’ll be fine-she's Willow," Sold old him confident in her ability to get Willow back on side.

"I hope so because we need her" Giles's replied.

@@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@

Willow was furious.

How dare they think those things of her?

Sure, she'd mucked up before - but she had her reasons then - big time legitimate hurt!

Oz had slept with another girl < Bitch >, who had then tried to EAT her < super bitch > and then he left!

< Spineless bastard >

So her spell got away from her for a while, no one got hurt.

So Giles's went a bit blind for a while, Xander was chased by a few demons.


< Thought he'd enjoy that - always falls for them anyway: Inca Mummy Girl, Praying Mantis lady now Anya-or should that be ANYANKA, ex vengeance demon!-need I go on! >

Willow kicked a can, hard, that was lying on the pavement. It skidded into some nearby bushes.

< And poor Buffy-she had to snog the face off Spike for a few hours, I'm sure plenty of girls would have loved that. Me included! >

She fumed, anger creeping into every pore.

Just then, shard ard footsteps behind her.

< Great just what I need - a bloody vamp attack >

Spinning around, she pulled a stake from her coat, and came face to face with a startled Spike.

"Oi watch what your doing with that pet!" he shouted jumping back.

Willow sighed and put the stake back in her pocket.

"What you doing here Spike?-cos if you've come to piss me off you really needn't have bothered" she told him wearily.

"Just wanted to see if you were okay is all pet - I’ll go if you want?"

Spike stood looking at her, hurt by her reaction to his presence.

< Stupid bint - worried about her walking home alone - turning into the poof >

"No I’m sorry, I shouldn't take my bad mood out on you-I’m fine. Nice to know someone cares." she told him quietly.

"Want me to walk you home pet? - Bad types come out at night in this town"

He asked, watching as her eyes shone, he could see she was fighting to keep the tears back.

< Bloody Scooby’s - now they've gone and upset her >

"You okay pet?" he asked softly, walking towards her.

Wi nod nodded, keeping her head down so he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes.

< I shouldn't let them get to me. The only person who seems to give a damn about me right now is a chipped vampire - who will drain me first chance he gets >

Spike cool hands touched her cheek; Willow raised shocked eyes to his.

< I didn't hear him move? >

"Your not okay are you?" he asked, wiping her tears away with his thumb.

Willow shook her head sadly, a sob escaping her treacherohroahroat.

< Dammit, don't want to cry in front of Spike >

"Shush pet-they're not worth one of your tears," he told her softly.

< Damn them-upsetting her like this-think they can treat her like dirt then run to her when they need her help >

He wound an arm around her shoulder; Willow looked up at him puzzled, but did not pull away.

"Gonna take you home pet - some vamp would just love to sink his fangs in that pretty throat of yours" he told her.

Hiice ice low and husky as he licked his lips - imagining her soft skin pressed against his own.

Willows breath hitched as she saw his tongue slip out and slide over his soft lips.

"Oh" she whispered, walking with him slowly.

< Bad thoughts Willow-Spike lips, no no n'tn't think of that-mustn't think how he'd feel tasting me, kissing me-NO stop stop-Buffy said it was gross but she had that look in her eye when she said it-like really it had been anything but >

They walked in silence for a while-upon reaching her house Willow turned to him and smiled shyly.

"Would you like to come in for a moment?-I think I have some hot chocolate if you'd like some" she asked softly.

< Please come in Spike - I really don’t want to alone just now >

Spike nodded "Got any of those little marshmallow things too?" he asked hopefully.

Willow laughed, "I think so - come in Spike," she whispered.

Spike smiled and followed her across the threshold.

"Nice house pet - your parents ain't gonna be annoyed you brought me home are they?" he asked glancing around.

Willow shook her head and walked through to the kitchen, Spike on her heels as she told him.

"No-they go away a lot-so I'm mostly home alone"

Spike frowned "Shouldn't be on your own in Sunnyhell pet-you know the risks more than anyone pet"

"Yeah-but the vamp who likes to kidnap me is a reformed character now" she told him smiling as she saw the realisation dawn.

"That I am luv-so where's that hot chocolate you promised me"

Willow laughed and set about making two cups of hot chocolate, Spike helped - well he nibbled on marshmallows while he waited.

< Could do better though-could nibble on her >

"Here you go"

Willow told him, placing a steaming mug in front off him.

Spike breathed in the heady aroma - grinning as he raised the steaming cup to his lips.

"Careful! It’s hot" and "OW-bloody hell" was shouted at the same time.

Willow shook her head in wonder "Dumb ass - you knew I’d just made it"

"Sodding thing bit back!" Spike moaned holding his injured lip - then he grinned suddenly, realising how foolish he must appear.

"So what do you think been causing this weird weather?" Willow asked.

"Chaos Demon would be my guess. Feed of the trouble they cause like to do things big. Cover an entire city with snow? I would think that would cause a boat load of chaos for them" he told her, blowing his cup gently.

"So what did Giles's say when you gave him your theory?"

"Buffy wouldn't let me speak-every time I tried to tell them she butts in. I managed to get Giles on his own and tell him how to vanquish a chaos demon, but it entails some big magic." he explained.

"Oh so that's the spell Giles is on about"

Spike nodded.

"Well I guess tomorrow we go to Giles's and find out how I can sort this out"
She declared.

Spike smiled lamely, knowing how hard it would be for the witch to pull it off, wishing he could help but knowing there was nothing he could do-but wait and watch.
