What do we do now?
Four bodies had already been found, Buffy had only been evil for one night. "Are we sure it's her?" Dawn asked. Willow nodded "It's defiantly a vampire, and leaving bodies like that, it means it's got to be someone new." She told Dawn. "You're wrong." Spike said suddenly, Willow frowned. "Buffy's been a slayer for too long to leave three bodies she knows people will find them, she wants people to find them, she's sending out a message, trust me on this one" Willow bit her lip "so Buffy is going to keep killing people until we get the message?" she asked. "Well we got it, can she stop killing people now?" Layla said sarcastically. "That's not gonna work" Xander said "my guess is she's just going to keep getting worse until she actually sees one of us or something like that." Layla just sighed "well can we hurry up getting her back, this whole Buffy being evil thing is going to get old real quick." Willow looked at her "What's wrong with you?" Layla glanced down "family issues." Spike sighed "I'll go talk to him." Layla looked up at him confused "no offence Spike but what the hell are you going to do?" Spike just smirked.
"Oi" Spike said entering the room. "What do you want Spike?" Angel asked annoyed. "Oh you know, a big house, to be able to walk in the sun, Buffy… but right now we need to talk." Angel sighed frustrated "what about?" he said in such a way Spike knew he really didn't want him to be here. "You blaming this whole thing on yourself" Spike replied simply. "You here to convince me it is or it isn't my fault?" Spike shrugged "dunno, haven't decided yet" Spike went and sat down. "But I do know you didn't kill Buffy" Angel shook his head "no I did worse, I turned her into a demon who will now probably try to destroy the earth, and Willow won't be able to find a spell, and I'm going to have to kill her anyway, and it is my fault" Spike stayed silent for a while before saying "I would have done it you know" Angel looked up at him confused. "If you hadn't turned her I would have. I told her if she needed anything I was there, I wouldn't have backed down, I wouldn't have let her die, there was absolutely nothing you could have done to save her, so stop sitting up here and moping" Angel shrugged "what else have I got to do?" he asked. "Get up, get down there, and bloody help get her back. You still love her don't you?" Angel laughed "It's crazy, she's evil, killing people, and mostly likely wanting all of us dead, I still won't let anyone kill her" Spike shrugged "love isn't brains, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work it's will" Spike repeated his own words from what seemed like forever ago before leaving the room. Angel watched him leave, closed his eyes, let out a sigh, and followed him out.
Layla smiled slightly as her brother came in. Turning to Spike she said "Ok you need to teach me how to do that sometime…. What did you do?" Spike just smiled. "So what's happening?" Angel asked. "Nothing really we seem to be going backwards, I don't think this is possible" Willow said scribbling out something else that had gone wrong with her spell. "Well what have you got so far?" He asked frowning. Willow bit her lip "a pile of paper where it all went wrong." Xander sighed for the first time unable to make a joke, for the first time he actually felt defeated, completely, as if this time, they weren't going to win. "What do we do now?" He asked. "We've got no spell, no plan….. No Buffy." He turned the room silent until spike spoke "come on guys we don't need a slayer to win" Dawn shook her head "your right we don't" she said sadly "we need Buffy." Spike looked at her and couldn't say anything, because he agreed completely, as did Willow, who sighed and looked at the floor. And Xander who couldn't think of anything to do, Layla looked at them sadly they truly believed that, she looked over at her brother who was staring at dawn thinking. Oddly enough it was Angel who said "no we don't"
Everyone looked over to him, Layla smiled. "You've never seen people fighting for something they believe in have you?" She asked "Or someone they care about, they fight harder than anyone could ever think possible, at it doesn't matter what there fighting, if it's something you care about your either going to win, or you going to go down fighting, When you've been around a while you see it, right Spike" Spike nodded. "Buffy went down fighting for this world, are you going down fighting for her?" Xander frowned "How are we going to be able to do anything if it's her were fighting" Layla shook her head "it's not her, she can still be saved, you just can't give up" Willow nodded. Dawn sighed "can we really get her back?" Willow looked at her determined "I don't give a damn if it's impossible I'm getting her back." Angel sighed he knew they wouldn't give up on this, but he wasn't sure it was going to be enough.
