Being friends with a vampire slayer was a dangerous thing in general but now it was evident how terrible life could be because of it. As it was well known that you and Buffy were friends, Glory had decided that you would make a pretty good hostage so that she could lore Buffy in and kill her. It was your first time as a hostage, but you were surprisingly calm. You sat patiently on the floor, tied to a pole, waiting for someone to come and save you. You knew that you couldn't fight Glory but knew that your friends weren't going to let you die there.

Glory had gone out somewhere, and seen as you didn't care where she went, you didn't bother asking or even considering it. It had been about an hour since she had left you alone, rather bored sat on the floor when the door opened again. It wasn't the person holding you against your will, but you certainly weren't pleased with who walked into the room.

"Spike?" You questioned.

"I'm here to save you."

You doubted that. He may have now been on the same side as your friends but if he could betray you all, he happily would. He had a very dark and evil past and you doubted that it had truly gone behind him.

"Why do I doubt that?" You frowned.

He rolled his eyes at you as he closed the door behind him and crouched down beside you.

"I'm going to get you out of here, but we've got to be quick," he explained.

"Why would you help me?" You asked.

"Do you trust me?" Spike questioned as he begun to untie the rope wrapped around your wrists to keep you attached to the pole.

"No!"

He paused as he let go of the rope, letting it fall to the floor. "I guess that is fair."

Spike stood up and went to leave the room but noticed that you had only moved to rub your wrists but not stood up.

"Why aren't you moving?" He asked.

"You didn't undo my feet and I can't undo the knot, believe me I've tried," you stated.

He let out a sigh before picking you up and flinging you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"This will be a lot quicker," he said.

"Put me down! I still don't trust you."

"Well I'll prove that you can because I'm going to be taking you to safety."
