Chapter 2

Bo and Dyson were lying in bed just in enjoying the silence now that they had chased Kenzi off. The pair weren't worried about her being alone, they both knew that she would make her way to the Dal. Dyson had talked with Hale that afternoon at work and arranged for the siren to be there to keep her company. For her Bo on the other hand had to simply make sure that her roommate knew what the pair was up to as soon as Dyson walked in the door. It amazed the succubus how much it bothered Kenzi to be alone now. She knew that the younger girl had a rough childhood. It was heartwarming to see how much Kenzi had opened up over the years.

Bo was at that moment reminded by Dyson as to why they had decided to get their roommate out of the clubhouse that night. Dyson leaned over his mate trailing his hands over her chest nuzzling her neck. Bo felt the rumble as he growled, she was still amazed that the vibrations could touch so many places in her body at once. She pulled his head in for a kiss, she used the distraction it caused to roll them over so she could have control this time. For his part he was happy to let her have her way this time, they had the whole night ahead of them.

The couple in bed were startled by the ring of both of their phones. If it was just one they would have ignored it at least for another hour or so. Two phone calls usually meant trouble though so they each reached over and answered at the same time.

"Hale"

"Hey Kenzi" they said in unison each listening to the other to confirm their thoughts.

Xander noticed the signal to the two that were left standing next to him at the bar. Once they walked away phones in hand he figured it would be for the best if the three original Scoobies were together for whatever was coming up. He was starting to regret his choose of letting Willow pick a place for food and drinks tonight. It was Willow's love of the food that Giles had introduced her to during her magic rehab that lead her find a traditional English or Irish pub in every town that they travelled through.

"What game are you playing? Calling yourself a slayer with the recent stories that are coming out of Alaska is not funny." Trick said as he tried to calm himself down.

"It's not mean to be funny. And what stories out of Alaska are you talking about? We were in the middle of nowhere. There was no one around to see anything. I just wanted to eat a meal that dehydrated in a pouch." Buffy pouted. This was not fair how could someone have seen anything, that demon was alone they tracked the thing for a week. The three Scoobies sleeping in one tent because there was the nearest town was over a 100 miles away.

Xander had made it over to the group having to push his through the crowd that was now forming near the doorway were his friends were. The other fae in the bar had noticed how Trick had reacted to whatever was being said in the room and each wanted to be the first to report what was going on to their leader. Xander stood behind his friends' chairs. Deciding that someone had to be the spoke person for the group he decided to try and break the ice.

"Nice place you've got here." Xander was hoping to lighten the mood. "Well I'm Alexander Harris, but everyone calls me Xander." He had his hand out to the other man.

Tricked stared at the human trying to figure out this group of misfits. "Well I was trying to register your friends here, which one claims you?" Trick was confused the man was human but had hold himself in such a way that said that he was unaffected by the fae surrounding him. He started to wonder if the one eyed man knew that this was a fae way point. "Do you know what kind of pub this is Xander?"

"First I don't belong to either of them, I'm single again. And two I'm assuming by the way that you pulled Buffy and Wills aside that this is a demon bar right?" He started off sure of himself and the more he said the more he questioned his reasoning. "I mean you did just what to make sure that Buffy wasn't here to slay someone right?"

"Look, we're not here to cause trouble we just wanted a warm meal and a few drinks. I'm sorry we didn't know that we would cause trouble by being here. We'll just leave and get dinner somewhere else." Willow was getting nervous, maybe this wasn't just some random demon bar like the one that Lorne ran back in LA.

Trick had a bad feeling that these were unaligned fae that he was dealing with, they seemed to have no clue of what he was talking about. He had to think quickly to keep this from blowing out of portion. The Ash and the Morrigan would be easy but the Elders on both sides that would be the problem. He looked the three over and spoke, "Please excuse me then we can go someplace more private to speak."

Trick walked back over to the bar and let the bartender know that he was headed downstairs and that he should send down Dyson, Bo and Vex once they arrived. He waved over to three already there letting them know to follow. As he walked past the newcomers he addressed them. "I think that it would be best if we spoke downstairs."

Willow and Xander looked over to Buffy silently asking her what she thought. With a shrug of her shoulders she stood up and followed the four people downstairs. They had faced worse odds and survived.

"Do you know what you are?" he asked. He thought it would be best to figure out just how much they knew.

"Witch wicca-y witch but still a witch. And Buffy already told you that she's the slayer, well I mean a slayer." Willow responded looking over at Buffy and Xander she added, "I still used to saying that like she's the only still one."

Hale looked the red head over trying to make sense of what she said. She was talking about witches and slayers. Lucky for him and the other fae in the room that Kenzi was there. She realized what was happening. "Oh dude you don't know what you are do you? I mean you don't know that you're fae."

That one word was enough for Willow to start to understand what was happening. "But the fae are just legend I mean they're not real not like vampires and demons." But even as the words left her mouth she was questioning them.

"Well where to you think that you powers come from? You do have powers right, what do you do anyway?" Kenzi loved meeting new fae and this group was great because they wouldn't know that she wasn't supposed to ask that question.

"In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone must stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer." By the time that she finished both Willow and Xander had joined Buffy in perfect unison that only come from repeat performances of this speech.

While Trick, Hale, Kenzi and Tamsin processed this Willow spoke to her friends telepathically. Well do think that I should show them. I think that will make them more likely to believe Buffy. And they already know that we're different. Both Buffy and Xander nodded their heads. They knew there was no denying Willow's powers. So Willow lowered her shields to draw the magic in and was shocked by all the energy that she felt. She hadn't felt this much power in since the Hellmouth collapsed, but it wasn't all dark like home it was balanced here. She let the light power fill her, she hair turned white as it flowed in a wind that wasn't present. Willow turned her glowing eyes to the four people surrounding them.

Tamsin's mouth dropped open as she saw the girl's power open up over the whole room. "Sidhe… I…I thought they were extinct."

Trick could not believe his eyes he thought the sidhe were all gone as well. They had died out hundreds of years before he was called Blood King. Hale looked back and forth between the girl and Tamsin trying to figure out what she was talking about, he had heard the legends had he wasn't old enough to have ever seen one. "Are you sure that she is one?"

Trick nodded his looking at the women in a whole new light. "You can pull on dark power too right?" He asked.

Slowly Willow released the light and changed pulled on the dark power that she felt. She had never had the land give her power so freely. The black took over her eyes first and slowly the roots of her hair turned black taking over the white like water flowing through the strands. Willow wondered how he had known she that she pull from both sources so distinctly. No other witch that she had met could draw from only the light or dark, they had to pull from both and bend it their will wasting power. She didn't waste any energy trying to make it work for her. She put her shields back in place and was instantly back to looking like the unassuming young woman she was before.

"Oh my god that was so cool!" Kenzi was bouncing in place. "Can you do any other colors? My name is Kenzi by the way"

Buffy laughed it seems that Willow and the young girl had broken the ice. Everyone looked up as the rest of the party arrived.

"So what's the what?" come Bo's voice as she walked down the stairs with both Dyson and Vex on her trail.
