((Finally Gunn can do something.))
Charles Gunn....The stuborn demon hunter working for Angel Investigations and a rival for Fred's heart, though he already won it. He stayed up last night when Fred didn't come home wondering what was going on. She would have left a note or called atleast. But she didn't making him worry and argue with Angel about going out to look for her. Angel said she'd be fine, that she'd be able to handle herself. The demon probably just scared her. But he knew something had to be wrong, she would have told him if she was scared right? Gunn saw Fred run into the hotel. "Hey!" He said getting up out of the chair immedietly. "Where've you been? You didn't leave a note or anything yesterday we've all been worried." He asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Fred really didn't want to have this conversation right now, she wanted a hot shower and some time. She had a lot of things to think about.
"Charles, I'm sorry, things kind of went, well really weird yesterday." She tried to put on a smile, "I promise I'll tell you all about it, but first I really really need a shower."
Fred started walking upstairs. Her mind intent on a change of cloths a shower and a toothbrush. She has still failed to notice she is wearing Wesley's jacket.

Gunn noticed the jacket as she walked up the stairs. "Fred....Why do you have Wesley's jacket?" He asked becoming more angery at Wesley but still hurt by the fact that she was wearing it. "Is that where you've been? You've been?" He asked not yelling or angery. He just wanted some answers....

Fred looked down at the jacket. oh no! she thought. She had completely forgotten she was wearing it, and now Gunn knew where she had been and it was leading her into a conversation she just wasn't ready to have.
"Charles..." She began trying to think how to say what needed to be said. "Yes, I was with Wesley for a while." She saw the look of anger in his eyes and worry ran through her. "It wasn't... You remember that demon we fought, well it left something in me, and it was making me crazy and... Wesley got it out of me and he saved my life! Charles, my muscles are sore, I haven't brushed my teeth in over 24 hours and my stomach is still covered in squid demon goo so, please let me just take a shower and I promise I'll explain everything much better when I get out." She looked at him pleadingly. She needed this shower... this time to organize her chaotic thoughts.

Gunn looked at Fred and relaxed a bit to make her more comfortable. "Fred....Why didn't you come to me? I'm sure Angel and me could have fixed you." He was getting a bit upset with this. Why was Fred always running off to Wesley? She did choose him over Wesley right?

"Please Charles, can we talk about this later?" She headed up stairs, then feeling slightly guilty turn around to say "Promise once I'm done, I'll come back down and I will answer all your questions, just now, I really need a shower." and with that, without waiting for a response Fred ran upstairs to her bedroom.

Gunn nodded sitting down to wait for Fred to get done with her shower. He had a lot of things to ask....Why did it take all night? What made her want to go to Wesley. Night would come soon....He'd head off to look for Wesley to ask what went on because for all he knew Fred was hiding something and needed this time to make up a story...

Once up stairs Fred grabbed a change of cloths, and her toothbrush, locked the door striped and jumped into the shower at high speed.
The hot water, once it got hot felt wonderful on her sore muscles. Getting possessed by a baby squidy demon thing, had really taken it's toll on her body. Not to mention the after affects of all the adrenalin.
Fred washed up quickly but stayed in the shower long after running the events of yesterday, and today through her mind over and over. She didn't like any of the conclusions she came to. She tried looking at if from different prospectives, hundreds of them, but the end always gave her the same conclusion, within a .3% error, which made it sickeningly valid.
Long after the water began to run cold again, Fred exited the shower. She put on the cloths she had picked out, a simple green t-shirt, a pair of stretchy comfortable blue jeans, and her sneakers. It seemed even her cloths choices were telling her something. She tossed most of her dirty cloths into the hamper, folded Wes' coat on her bed, and put her t-shirt in with her collection of weird slims. She could put it off no longer, she had to face Charles.
Fred exited her room and walked down stairs in silence.

Gunn seemed a bit upset about the fact that Fred went to Wesley. He saw her walk down from the corner of his eye as he thought things through himself. He finally sighed and looked up at her. "So what happened that you couldn't come to me for help..."

Fred didn't answer at first, she walked all the way down the stairs then sat down. She felt weak.
"I thought you would kill me." She said honestly. Not daring at the moment to meet Gunn's gaze.

"Fred....Why would I kill you? I mean...Wesley's the one who kidnapped Connor, why go to him? Fred do you even know how that makes me feel that you'd think I was going to kill you and Wesley was there to save you?" He asked and you could tell by his voice that hurt a lot.... How could she think that? His own girlfriend thought he'd kill her and ran to some other man, his rival none the less....

"I..." Fred felt horrible, "I didn't mean..." Fred choked up. Then went kind of calm. "No, I don't know what that feels like. I'm sorry it hurts you... but that's what I felt then. That thing, heightened my fear responses, I thought I was becoming a monster, and I can't trust you with that. That's what I realized today..."

"What? Fred what are you talking about you can't trust me? Fred you can trust me with anything." He stated so confused at this sudden change in attitude. "Fred I'd love you even if you were a demon now what's going on?" He asked looking at her, something had to be wrong...."Fred what's up with you? Suddenly you can't trust me, is it something I did?"

"Your lying, but that's okay. I've been lying to myself too. I told myself that what you and I have is it. But it isn't, and I know it's not." Fred sighs tears running down her cheeks. "It's only half there, only the good half... and that isn't real."

"Fred what are you talking about?" He asked and lifted her face a bit whiping away the tears. "Fred I do love you, who's telling you these things? I really would love you if you were a vampire or a demon or something as long as your still being you." He stated smiling some. "Who's telling you this? Did Wesley tell you these thing?" He asked scepticul on the mans innocence.
