~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy slowly and cautiously walked around looking around every corner as if something would jump out at her. She peered and saw Glory, who was still looking for her precious key.

Glory had gotten a new plan, **what if the slayer had the key sent away before I realized it?** She saw Buffy looking at her. "I knew you would come..." she walked over to Buffy and backhanded her, almost breaking her jaw.

Glory put her hands over Buffy's ears and mind-read Buffy. She saw Angel, Riley, and Spike. **one of them has to be the key!!!!** Buffy knew what she was doing so she kept her mind off Dawn careful not to give her away, thinking of anything but.

Glory grabbed Buffy by her throat and threw her across the room. "The key ... is as good as mine." Glory walked out laughing at the mess she had just made. Buffy got up slowly and followed Glory to a huge mansion where no one could tell which way was up and which way was down.

**This labyrinth is all too confusing... I need to know is she found out who the key is... I have to figure this out... ** Buffy ran as fast as she could looking every which way until, she found Glory. Soon she would wished she hadn't.

"So slayer, which one of these boy toys is the key?" She was surrounded by three cages, one with a battered and bruised Angel, who looked almost helpless, another with Riley who had seemed to have gotten this "punishment" just as bad as Angel had.

Then there was Spike. He was almost dead like the rest of them, but what Buffy was confused... **what does Spike have to do with this? He was already mistaken for the key once, and even as half-witted as Glory is, she is too smart to make the same mistake twice. **

One of Buffys greatest fears had come true

She had owed Spike her life on more than one occasion, and he had totally changed his way of living for her. He was helping her. But she wasn't in love with him, but she sure did trust him.

Angel. She loved him, even though he was dead and they could never make love or that soul she loved so much would be no more and leave his body. He was her first and he always will be.

She missed Riley so much and even though she kept telling herself that she was over him, she knew she wasn't. He understood her most and knew everything she was feeling. She couldn't see him die ... or any of them for that matter.

But this situation wasn't helping. She had to choose between them.

"Fine slayer, you won't chose between them, I'll find out my self!" Glory looked at Angel and Spike realizing that they were unsure. She picked up a piece of a wooden chair and staked them instantly.

She looked at Riley then at Buffy. Buffy was obviously heartbroken. "Well, you're not in such a hurry to save him... Why not? Your mind must be deceiving me!!! None of these playthings were the key!" Glory picked up an ax and with one swing the decapitated Riley.

Buffy had lost her mom and her men that she loved so much. She screamed in agony...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy shot up from her bed, panting. **another one of those damn dreams again.** she heard the phone ringing. She answered it and heard Willow.

Willow knew about these reoccurring dreams Buffy had been having. She could tell Buffy had just woke up from one. "Another one of those Angel, Riley, and Spike dreams again, right Buff?" Willow knew Buffy better than anyone did.

"It's so freaky, neither Angel nor Riley have anything to do with Glory, and why was Spike there? Its ironic that the dream compares him to my past lovers," Buffy replied as she got up and stretched.

They both knew this could be one of those dreams that were telling the future just as the dream she had about the Master came true. They both hoped it wouldn't come to that.

"Maybe the dream is looking into your heart, asking you which one you love more, Angel, Riley, or Spike..."

"I don't know but Spike is out if that's is what it's asking..." Buffy looked at her clock. It was nearly noon, and she had promised Giles some serious training. "Well, I guess I'll see you at the shop then? I am going to go get dressed, so I'll see you later k?" Buff said.

"Yeah ... bye..." Willow responded hanging up the phone.

"Another dream..." Willow said to all the Scoobies.

"Must he hard for her, not only does she have those images haunting her in her sleep but she also gets a visual along with it," Anya said quietly. **See she CAN be smart when she wants to be ** Willow thought to herself.

**This dream though, it has to mean something because I know her mind wouldn't just play tricks on her. ** Willow thought **Maybe it is warning her that Glory might kill one, or worse, all of them, if she is that desperate of finding the key...**
