Samantha looked as the school approached. "There we are..." She took out a bag of some sort of dust. She'd wait for the car to stop then get out and get herself inside...Things were always nicer here then at home. School was an escape but she was to bright to stay in it...After that her escape vanished..

Wesley stopped the car and quickly got out. He ran around the back of the car and opened the passenger door. "Come on. We're almost there." He said to her as he helped her out.

Samantha looked at the two only for a moment before walking over to a window and taking out a swiss army knife. Using the screwdriver piece she opened up the window and looked at the two once more before slipping inside. Once inside she walked over opening up the front doors. Of course she used a simply spell to shut off the alarms. But just in case she had the powder with her.

After trying to stay silent the whole ride, Fred awkwardly climbs out of the car. Frustration hit her, she would be useless, absolutely useless. Her mind was as dull as a rubber ball and she could barely see her hand in front of her face.
She tried to keep that feeling, frustration was better then the gnawing panic that would rise unbidden from her mind. It wasn't just the fear of what was happening to her, of being blind or possibly dying. She was afraid of being discovered. She didn't understand why, perhaps in her right state of mind she would think it a symptom, but in her current state she couldn't even question it. She didn't want Gunn to know, she didn't want Cordy to know, and she didn't want this familiar unknown woman to know. Her trust of Wesley alone stood out, somehow she felt that no matter what became of her, Wesley wouldn't hurt her. He was a good man. Protector her mind said.
Fred tried not to cling to Wesley as they walked towards the school. She whispered in hopes that only Wesley would here, "Who is that?"

Wesley slowly lead her up the stairs to the front doors. He held her carefully as they moved. Then fear struck him when she asked the question. He wasn't sure why; but something about her question bothered him. "It's Samantha. Don't you remember her?" He said almost whispering. "I came here to... Help her." He was afraid that came out wrong. As they reached the top of the stairs and walked inside Wesley lead her down the halls in the direction of the library. "I thought Giles didn't work here anymore. Are you sure his books are still here?" Wesley looked at Samantha.

'Samantha.' she rolled the name around in her mind. Vague fuzzy memories of the girl came back. A girl that never seemed to like her. Her memories were to disjointed to recall why there might be a wall between them, but she recalled quiet a few curt answers and disappointed looks.
"Of course," she whispered, "I remember Samantha. I just had a hard time seeing her and it's been a while since I've spoken to her, that's all." she tried smiling and hoped it came off as convincing.

"Here we are." Wesley said as he walked her into the library. He sat Fred down in one of the chairs and then glanced around. "Is there no bloody couch around here?" He turned back to Fred and put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm going to be right back. Don't go anywhere." Wesley let go of her and walked out of the library.

She was being treated like a child, normally this would bother her, but now... She wished she could see what was going on. She scanned the room trying to see if Samantha was still present, however she couldn't make out anything other then a scattering of colors, Wesley even when he was standing next to her was just a peach and black blur now. She hugged the coat tighter to her, she would ignore the wiggling feeling in her gut and just focus on getting warm. She closed her eyes to lessen strain on her eyes and wished for a big fluffy blanket.

Samantha finally returned. She had something in a backpack and crumpled up a stick note shoving it in her pocket. "He doesn't. But that doesn't mean he took everything home, if we did the library would be empty and we'd get kicked out." She stated looking at her. "Are you alright Fred?" She asked neutral tone. She didn't want to sound like she did at the point so even with all the happiness she could at that moment she sounded neutral. "No, but I can swipe one from the teachers lounge if you want." Samantha shrugged. She'd help out now......It must really be horrible enough that she had to hide this and come to Wesley.

Fred opens her eyes and looks in the direction of Samantha. "I'm okay," She lied and tried to smile, she felt that she couldn't show her weakness to this girl, irrationally she felt she had to show some strength. She tried to sit up but shook terribly as she did so, 'So cold..' she thought bitterly. She tried to bundle up more but she simply couldn't, there was nothing more to bundle with.

Samantha looked at her as she tried to get warm. "Hold on...." Samantha ran out into the hall putting a combination in the locker she was at and opened it quickly. She kept everything she didn't want Giles to see in her friends lockers and they didn't mind. She took out a highly expensive winter coat. She tore off the 600 dollar tag and walked back in with it. She kept everything from microwave meals to sleeping gear at school just in case she ran away at any point. She took the coat back to the two and stuck it out in her hand for Fred to take. "It's really warm...You can use it if you want. You need it more then I do right now. It's really ok and you look cold."

Wesley walked into the lounge. "I should have asked Samantha for help." He muttered to himself as he started pulling the couch out of the lounge. He quickly pulled it down the hall and into the library. He pushed it against the nearest wall and walked back over to Fred. "Come here." He helped her up and walked her over to the couch. He laid her down and knelt beside her. "Fred listen to me. I'm am going to fix this. I'm going to help you." He stood back up and walked up the stairs to the nearest bookshelf. He pulled down and few of the books. Walking back over to the table. He set the books down and sat down at the table. "Samantha help me find a demon that looks kinda like a black squid."

Fred sat on the couch and tentatively touched the coat. She tried to squash the panicked voice that told her not to trust the gift. She was too cold, besides what could someone do the make a coat dangerous?
'Witch...' her mind whispered, that's right Samantha is a witch, she remembered.
Fred looked at the coat then looked around for Wesley, she couldn't see him. Panic rose up again.
'It's okay, Fred,' she told herself. 'His probably just ten feet away, not like you could see him even if he was standing right in front of you.'
She tried to laugh at the thought, but it came out sounding fake and didn't make her feel any less afraid. Even in Pylia, she had never felt so on edge. It was wrong, some part of her knew it was wrong but she couldn't stop it.
"Wesley..." she whispered.

Wesley looked up from the books. "Yes... You alright?" He stood up and walked over to her. "You can take that from her. It'll help you stay warm." That's when he noticed it. "You're wearing my coat." He almost smiled.

Samantha looked at him. "Yeah." She nodded looking at him smile. Fred wasn't a love she was an obsession for the most part...She ran to the back of the library to carry out her research and to let the man live his fantasy. Any demon usually had a picture but just in case....Samantha went back reading a bit then when onto the next book. Reading and looking for clues of a black squid of any sort...."Quor'Toth Slug Demons....No this can't be them unless it actually was able to enter through her mouth and if it was it would be draining her of her liquids at this point....She said it was black....No these are clear." She said to herself keeping the book and page with her just in case.
