A/N:

Sorry it took so long for me to get this rewritten. Though to warn you all now, this story is far from being done, it will take me some time in writing it. I've started ch 5 and ch 6, but they are yet to be finished. Real life seems determined to take away anytime I have to actually work on this story. Hope this clears up the first posting of ch 4. Thanks.

Chapter 4

Somewhere in England

"What do you mean Wormtail?" rasped a gravely voice. "What is this about the lost one found? Is that myth even true? Explain yourself now!"

"My master, rumor is that a child of pureblood will join into the fight. The help from the lost child will help with the turn of the War." Wormtail's voice squeaked out quickly. "As for the myth being true, I couldn't find another piece of information to figure out which myth, my master," he cringed as if expecting a blow.

"Hmmm . . . which side though . . . .on which side will this child chooses? Also who's child, which family?" the dark Lord mused out loud. Suddenly he turned and looked at Wormtail. "Find out who this child is, and bring it to me!"

Watcher's HQ

"How may I direct you call?" said a slightly accented voice.

"This is Rupert Giles; please connect me to the Head Watcher. I have an important matter to discuss with him." said the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Yes sir, Mr. Giles, I'll connect you to Mr. Granger's line immediately." As she put him on hold, she then rang Mr. Granger. "Sir, a Mr. Giles if on the line for you."

"Put him through please," said the Head Watcher. After a few seconds his line beep and he picked up. "Rupert it is so good to hear from you. I hope all is well on your side of the ocean." He listened to what was being said. "Yes I did send that package and all of that is true, least to the best of my knowledge. This is extremely important! . . . Yes I understand her misgivings, but still she is the only one that can help. Sure Miss Summer's has more experience, but she is needed there and has no connection to this matter." He listens again for a few minutes. "Look man, it must be her! She is part of a prophesy!" He takes a deep breathe. "Listen Rupert, I did not want to include any of this into the letter, just incase it got intercepted! She is part of a prophesy that involves the war in the wizardry world. It is not to speak of this matter over the phone lines. If you truly wish to know come with Miss Black. That way she'll feel more at ease. . . . No you don't need to stay, though there ma come a time when your group may need to assist Miss Black. Hopefully not too soon. Right now we are unsure to the extent or resistance to our side." He looks up at a knock on his door. He nods to the man at the door. "Look Rupert, I've got to go. If you plan to accompany Miss Black, a ticket will be waiting at the counter for you. Good day to you." With that he hung up the phone.

Giles comes back into the room with a worried look on his face. He pulled off his glasses and pitched the bridge of his nose. He looks to where Faith was just coming around on the love seat, though he had no idea she had just fainted. "Well it would seem as though that the letter is authentic. I have also been invited to join Faith on her trip if she likes. Though I would only be gone for a week or so. That is if you would like me to come?" He said the last part to Faith. "I will not influence your choice in anyway. What are your thoughts on this matter Faith? Have you decided what you're going to do?" He finally slowed down his pacing and took a seat.

"Faith, if you do this I would be able to complete the spells with in a day, but only if you want me to." Willow said. "You don't have to do the second spell, though I would really think about it. You have no idea what you are walking into there, who your up against, or what they are willing to do to reach their goals. I know it is something you need to think about, something you should think about. Just call me later tonight, I'll get the spell components together just in case." Willow took up her seat next to Xander, while everyone again turned to look at Faith after she was seated. The silence was deafening. Faith seemed to be thinking.

This is for real Faith. You can help countless of people, find out about your family, and learn a new skill or two. Hmmm . . . well maybe not so cool about the learning. Do I want to meet my dad and his family? Do I want to live forever? Better yet, do I want to die? If I stay here all I'll be is a second runner. Always after B. If I go I'll be myself. If it doesn't work out, I can always come back!

"I believe . . . I want to go. I need to go. I have to know," she said in a soft voice. "If you need me I'll stay. B, what do you think?"

Buffy looked confused at first at being asked her opinion on the matter. Her face seemed to scrunch up as she thought what she should say.

"Well Faith uhmmm, if this is something what you feel you . . . ahhh, have to do, then do it. If you need help then you know where I am."

Faith's face lit up. "Thanks B; you don't know how much that means to me. As for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. You never know."

Faith turns to Giles. "As for you G-man, lets motor to tweed-land. I've got family to find."

Little did the Scooby gang know that Faith wasn't the only one, looking for someone. Or that they had the best intention for that person. Or whether their quest will succeed, is in the hand of the Fates.
