Desperation Samba, Chapter 2 Fandom: BtVS Rating: This chapter FRU, evetually FRAO Pairing: Eventually Willow/Giles. Brief mention of Willow/Kennedy Summary: Willow ends her relationship with Kennedy and tries to make a new life for herself Spoilers: none, really Feedback: Pretty please. Constructive criticism is always welcome. If you want to flame me, well okay, I have chainsaws. Disclaimer: I don't own these characters (if I did Willow would be with Giles where she belongs!); I just hijack them and take them out for a joyride every now and then. Also, I have no beta, so any and all mistakes are solely mine. Warnings: mentions non-cosensual sex, but nothing graphic Authour's Notes: forgive me if the Portuguese isn't right; I used an online translation website. I may know some Spanish, a little German, and thanks to Carla a tiny bit of Italian, but I do not know Portuguese! Willow slowly began to relax as the plane landed at Heathrow. The journey had been mind-numbingly long and the extended layover in Lisbon had been hell. She'd been worried, thinking that if Kennedy had come back to the flat early and discovered her missing, she could have followed on the next flight out and caught her. She'd prayed to the Goddess that when Kennedy found her gone she would assume she'd run to Buffy in Italy or Xander in Africa, not Giles in England. But Willow had never considered going anywhere else. She felt safer with Giles than anyone else. Plus Buffy was on a 'Slayer Sorority---Slayers can do no wrong' kick and somewhat ignoring her non-Slayer friends and Dawn, much like she had done when Faith first came to Sunnydale. Willow was unsure that Buffy would even believe her about Kennedy's assaults. Xander would have easily, as he had not cared for Kennedy, but Willow wanted to go home and England had felt most like home to her. She quickly left the plane and made her way through Customs speedily, her Watchers Coucil passport seeming to ease the way. She was glad of this as she was almost swaying on her feet from exhaustion. She'd not had a decent night's sleep in weeks, either being dragged from club to club dancing with Kennedy, all-night patrols Kennedy insisted she be present for, or laying awake in the dark , waiting for one of Kennedy's attacks. She wanted nothing more than to collapse on Giles' couch or even floor and sleep for days. That is, if she could find Giles. She had only an address she's managed to keep from one of his letters that Kennedy hadn't destroyed. She hoped he hadn't moved since she'd received the letter. Stepping out of the terminal to hail a taxi, she gasped at the cold. While it was summer in Brazil, it was full-on winter in England and she had no winter coat, none being needed in Brazil. A heavy freezing rain was falling, and by the time she was able to get a cab she was drenched and chilled to the bone. In her muddled state she accidentally transposed some of the numbers of Giles' address when giving it to the driver and found herself let out about six blocks away from hsi actual apartment building. Resigning herself to the inevitable, she began slowly making her way to the correct address, pulling her suitcases behind her. She quickly discovered that London city blocks were much longer then Sunnydale's and the six blocks ended up being about three-quarters of a mile. By the time she reached the proper building, she felt half-frozen and her lips were nearly blue from the cold. Her head was getting fuzzy and all she could think of was soon she would be safe and warm with Giles. A wave of dizziness washed over her as she rode in the elevator and she leaned against the wall for support. She left the lift and accidentally headed the wrong direction down the corridor. Growing more light-headed with each step, she realised her mistake and turned around. Finally arriving at his door, Willow knocked and tried to clear her fuzzy head. "Willow!" Giles exclaimed as he opened the door. "Hi Giles," Willow replied and promptly fainted. tbc.........
