The next day Buffy heads over to the library. Xander is sitting at a table talking to Cordelia, while Jenny Calendar and Giles were putting away books. "Hi everyone." She says softly.

"Hey Buffster, what's the news for today?" Xander asks.

Buffy then fills the group in on what she knows. Giles looks in horror to the realization that Luke is back.

Giles takes off his glasses and begins cleaning them. "Well, this is quite a shock. I wasn't really expecting this."

Cordelia's face fills with anger. "Great, so there is some psycho vampire out there that Buffy once killed, and is probably pretty ticked off. Well this is just great!" Cordelia then says with concern, "I bet he is going to come after me, he tried to kill me before as a sacrifice to the master, I bet he wants to finish me off. This is all about me!" she whines.

"Of course Cordelia, a crazed vampire comes back from the dead and he is after you." Xander says sarcastically

" Well, first thing is first, we need to be on the look out, and be careful." Jenny looks around. "Where's Willow? She needs to know."

Xander jumps up from his seat "I'll go call her house."

Buffy then focuses her attention towards Giles. "What do you think he wants? He's still hanging around Sunnydale, so that has to have something to do with it."

"He obviously is looking for revenge since he still is around here, and since you were the one that killed him, he probably is looking for you." Giles says, trying to sound calm.

Buffy crosses her arms "Well, I can stop him right? I did it before."

"I don't know Buffy, Luke is very old, even older than Angel."

Xander bursts into the room. "I called willow's house and talked to her mom, she never returned last night." He says with a sound of panic in his voice.

Giles takes off his glasses, looking at Xander in shock. "Good lord."

Jenny then replies, "You don't think…"

"No!" Buffy says cutting off Jenny before she could finish the sentence. "Willow has to be okay. She was with us just last night after all. She said she was going to head home, maybe she decided to do some research instead. She has to be okay." Buffy says trying to sound hopeful.

"Don't worry," Xander walks up to Buffy and comforts her. "We'll find her."

Later…. Night falls.

Deep in the graveyard, a hand suddenly reaches out of the dirt, the figure claws its way through, finally making it to the surface, the figure then dusts itself off. It's Willow. "That's something I definitely don't want to do again!" Still dusting herself off. "I'm all dirty. Time to get clean." Willow says as she casually begins to walk home.

Willow knocks on the door to her house. Her mom answers.

"Willow, I was so worried, where have you been!" Willow's mom says with great concern while looking at her daughter. "You're a mess, come in and get cleaned up."

Willow walks into the house, "Sorry mother, guess time just escaped me, but there is no need for worry. Well actually there is need for worry." Turns around vamped face. "But it won't do you any good." Quickly grabs her mother and drains her of her blood and drops her to the floor. "Now, isn't that better?" She says with an evil grin while looking at her dead mother lying on the floor.

At the bronze, Cordelia and Xander are there sitting at a table.

"We have looked everywhere!" Cordelia complains. "She couldn't have just vanished! Where the hell is she!"

"I don't know, hopefully Buffy has better news."

"Where is Buffy anyways?"

Xander looks at his watch. "Well, she told us to meet back here at 8:00 and it is now 7:48, so she should be showing up soon."

Just then, Willow walks in wearing leather pants with a leather top with long flowing red sleeves.

Xander looks up to see the read head coming in. "Willow!" He quickly jumps up from his seat to greet her. "Willow, thank god you are okay!" He then hugs her with a great sigh of relief.

Cordelia joins Xander, standing by his side. "Where have you been!" she snaps.

Willow ignores Cordelia's statement. "Hello Xander, I missed you too." She then grabs him, & begins to give him a deep passionate kiss.

Xander quickly pushes her away. "Whoa, whoa, Willow, what are you doing, you know that I am with Cordelia.

"Oh, so you are still with that whore!" Willow gripes

"Hey! Who are you to be calling a whore! I don't call what you are wearing school girl material!" Cordelia says as she pokes her finger at her.

"I don't have to listen to this." Willow says softly, she then turns to Cordelia and backhands her, causing her to hit the floor hard.

Xander quickly runs to Cordelia's side. "What has gotten into you Willow!"

"I don't know, I just haven't quite been my self lately." Tilts her head slightly looking innocent.

"I think we better go, before you get even more out of control." Xander helps Cordelia to her feet, as the two begin to leave the bronze, just as they reach the outside Willow blocks their path.

"Oh you two aren't going anywhere." Willow then shows her true vamp self.

"Oh god." Xander says, looking at her vampire face in shock. "How did this happen." He says with great sympathy.

"Oh.... I wouldn't worry about little ole me, if I was you, I would begin worrying about yourself." Willow lunges at Xander, easily being able to pin him to the ground. You knew I loved you, yet you still insisted on her." She says softly, still holding Xander to the ground. "No matter, soon we will be together forever." Willow tilts Xander's head to the side and bites down on his neck

Cordy quickly takes her purse and begins hitting Willow with it. "Leave my boyfriend alone you pale faced freak!"

Willow turns around, blood still dripping from her lips, with a very pissed off look on her face. "You couldn't just run off scared like you usually do, could you, you just have to be a hero." Grabs her by the throat, holding her into the air. "What are you going to do now hero?"

Xander tries to get up, still holding his bleeding neck, But just falls.

Cordelia tries to gasp for air, while struggling to pry Willows hands off her neck. And just as Cordelia is about to pass out Willow is hit from behind, causing her to lose her grip and have Cordelia fall to the ground.

Buffy quickly pulls out a stake. Willow turns around to face the person who hit her. Buffy gasps in horror as she sees that the vampire who was attacking her friends is Willow.

"You!" Willow snarls.

Still looking at willow in shock, buffy's stake falls out of her hand and hits the floor.

"Willow approaches Buffy even closer, well, if it isn't my good friend Buffy." Willow says teasingly." What are you going to do, stake me, stake your best friend?" Willow says with a pout, returning to her normal appearance. Before Buffy can say anything Willow does a quick kick at Buffy, causing her to fly backwards and hit hard against a tree. Willow glances in Xander's direction. "Be seeing you soon." Willow says with a smile as she walks away. Buffy is still on the ground, watching Willow in shock as she walks away.
