A Mate�s Call

�DUCK!!!�
Lizzie did as Oz told her. She ducked, watching a fledgling soar above her only to be met with the pointy end of Xander�s stake.
She looked to make sure William was all right. He had been fighting two vamps and was down to one.
They were out all the time now; new fledglings trying to gain favor with the Master. None of them ever made it back to the mansion. Spike only seemed to send out the ones that he felt were too weak.
William was a bit insulted by Spike�s actions.
Lizzie however knew what Spike was doing. He was protecting her. If anyone strong enough to return found out the Master�s mate was fighting against them, it would be the end of her.
A vampire that had gotten hold of Anya. Lizzie ran towards them and launched herself onto it. She rolled with the creature and came up with dust swirling around her. She looked around and saw a vampire using Oz�s battle axe to choke him. �Lizzie help him!� She heard Willow say in her head. She ran toward Willow and Oz, grabbing the vampire from behind and sending it reeling towards William.
William spun around striking it from behind. He hit the last fledgling he was fighting with and staked him quickly.
Oz ran to retrieve his axe then took Willow in his arms.
Xander caught his breath as Anya ran up to him. �That was fun,� he said.
Willow hugged Oz tightly. �There were a lot of them this time.�
All the scoobies nodded, but Xander said what they all thought. �Makes you wonder what�s going on in there,� he said, looking at the mansion in the distance. Everyone stood in silence for a moment trying to think of something to say.
Lizzie hated when they did that. Since Rupert and William had told the gang Spike was back, they all seemed to be uncomfortable around her. It was understandable. With the exception of Anya everyone knew Lizzie and Spike before they died. It was hard for them to think that Lizzie would be a part from her first love, but here she was still fighting with them.
They all knew the conflict that hung in the air. It was only a matter of time before something would come to a head. None of them including Lizzie knew what was to come.
William for his part tried his best to act as if everything was business as usual. He knew everyone was taking their cues from him. He and Lizzie had not been intimate since Spike�s return, but their devotion for each other was still apparent.
On the one occasion Xander commented that it was not safe that they associated with Lizzie, William made it abundantly clear that Lizzie was a part of the team. Anyone, including his father, that did not like it knew where the door was. No one spoke against her after that.
�Thank you for helping Oz.� Willow said, breaking the silence. Oz smiled at Lizzie and nodded.
Everyone seemed to let out a huge breath at once. Despite their worries, moments like these they remembered. Lizzie may be a vampire but she was still fighting with them. Protecting them keeping them safe.
�No problem.� Lizzie said, handing the stake to William.
William hated when she did that. It was almost like she was telling him she did not trust herself. Like perhaps she was unsure if he fully trusted her.
William smiled. �You did good, pet,� he said.
Lizzie smiled up at William. She opened her mouth to say something when they all heard it....
A deep growl came from behind Willow. She turned and saw it coming toward them. It was a big, red-eyed demon with a switchblade-like stingers.
Oz pulled Willow back while Lizzie ushered them behind her. �What the hell is that?!� Oz yelled.
Anya gasped. �It�s a Glarghk Guhl Kashma'nik!�
They all turned to her confused.
�What�s a...Good Godfrey Cambridge, I can�t even pronounce it!� Xander exclaimed.
Anya grabbed Xander and dragged him behind William.
William and Lizzie met, standing side by side guarding their four friends.
�Okay�Um, Anya? Care to tell us what it does?� Lizzie asked.
�Not sure. I just know it�s deadly.� Anya said.
�Like all demon�s aren�t deadly?� Xander asked. Lizzie turned to him and scowled. �Present company excluded.� Xander amended, hastily.
�Guys, not the time for this.� William said, backing up as the demon trudged toward them.
�Right, I suggest everyone run.� Willow said.
�Good idea.� William muttered.
The six friends all turned and began to run. Lizzie could hear the demon behind them. It sounded as if it was galloping. She turned and saw it had indeed gotten on all fours and was chasing after them. She spun around, grabbing the axe that Oz was holding, and ran toward the demon.
William saw what she was doing out of the corner of his eye and stopped dead in his tracks. �LIZZIE WAIT!� He yelled.
It was too late. Lizzie had leaped into the air getting directly into the demon�s path. She swung the axe at it nicking its shoulder. The demon howled and rolled on the ground. It stood up again and began to omit thick saliva out of its mouth, coating its stingers.
�Okay, now that�s just plain gross,� Lizzie muttered.
The demon launched itself at her and she swung at it again, hitting across the chest. One of its stinger grazed Lizzie�s arm. She let out a howl as the cut began to sizzle. She fell to the ground, watching the demon run off it the darkness.
William ran up to her. �Bloody Hell woman!� He screamed.
The other four friends trailed behind him. �Are you all right?� Willow asked.
�Yeah I�m fine.� Lizzie said standing up. Suddenly she went limp. William caught her carrying her in his arms.
�It�s stinger! That stuff must have been some kind of venom.� Anya deduced.
�Lizzie?� William asked. He suddenly became aware of how warm she was becoming. �God, she�s burning up! I have to get her back to her crypt. Go get my Da!� William yelled, running toward Lizzie�s dwelling.
�Will, wait I�m coming with you!� Willow said, chasing after them.
***
William watched Lizzie as she writhed on the stone sarcophagus.
Willow sat on her cell phone listening to Giles on the other end. �All right. I will tell him,� she said, disconnecting the phone.
�There is not much documentation on a Glarghk... well you know. Your father is trying to figure out something now.� Willow said.
William tried to soothe Lizzie as best she could. She was burning up.
�Will?� Lizzie muttered.
�I�m here, baby,� he said.
�It�s so hot. How can I be hot?� She moaned.
William opened his mouth to say something when she let out an inhuman howl. She curled up into a ball, screaming out in pain.
Willow and William watched her demon emerge whimpering in pain. she curled up, looking like a wounded animal. They watched her in demon form for a few minutes as she alternated between growling and whimpering in pain. Again she cried out.
�Oh God Willow she�s dying.� William cried. He walked over toward her.
Suddenly the crypt door burst open.
Willow watched as a dark form blurred past her and sent William flying into a wall.
�WILL!� She yelled, running over to pick up her friend. They both turned and saw Spike standing over Lizzie in full demon visage. They both looked more animal than human at the moment, their growls and howls filling the air. The watched as Spike whined, sniffing at Lizzie.
William stumbled to his feet. Of course. Lizzie�s demon had emerged, sending a call out to its mate.
Spike crawled onto the sarcophagus, taking Lizzie in his arms. Spike whined and whimpered down at his mate, still sniffing trying as he tried to assess where she hurt. Lizzie purred and cried out in agony as Spike touched her face. She looked up into his eyes. Both of their faces shifted back into human guise. Lizzie reached up, still shaking as she touched Spike�s face.
�Spike,� she whispered. She closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Spike looked over at Willow and William, still rocking Lizzie back and forth in his arms. �What the bloody hell happened to her!� he roared.
