Ana slammed the heavy door behind her when she entered the crypt, there was no way that Spike and Drusilla had not heard it. It wouldn't be long until atleast one of them came running for her, Drusilla was highly likely going to attack her and so was Spike. He become unpredictable and violent when he's confused, not a very good personality trait when he spends most of his existence in a constant state of confusion.

"Spike!" She called out into the empty living room, there was no sign of him anywhere. No empty blood bags sitting on the table, the TV was turned off and hadn't been moved closer to his chair as he always did before watching, and the door to the basement was open. With a small glare on her face she decides to head down the stairs and into the dank basement, cursing his name in every language she knew. Damn that man, asking her to gather intel, saying that he'll be there and then he's gone. Poof, disappeared without a trace. Classic Spike Dru would tell her he learnt it from Angel but Ana knew better. Spike is a dramatic little shit and that's the way it's always been and always will be. "I swear to god Spike that if you don't get your skinny ass up here I will personally kill you in the worst way possible!"

"What's with all the shouting" Spike ask confused as he steps out of his and Drusilla's shared room, his eyes clouded with sleep and chest bare of shirt. "I was taking a nap, as we should, because it's bloody day time out there" He growls out frustrated, not at all understanding the urgency in Ana's voice.

"I got some information from her" Ana rushes out, eager to get it over with so she too can take a much needed nap. "It's not much but it's a beginning"

"What information?" The vampire ask confused, rubbing his bleached blond head. "I don't remember asking about any information. Have you finally lost it?" He cackles slightly at the thought, it wouldn't surprise him at all. Ana had been acting very weirdly lately and he wouldn't put it pass being a breakdown or her losing what little sanity she has left.

"The information about the soulmate bond! Spike did you fall and hurt your head or something?" She asks worried, dread building in her stomach that was already twisting with nerves. The worst possible outcome, one she didn't even think of, was that Spike had somehow lost his memory of it all. Meaning that magic was involved since vampires don't just suddenly lose their memories, in fact they rarely forget things.

"Soulmates? Ana have you hit your head?" He counter with an equally worried tone of voice and expression. He never expected Ana to come to him ranting about soulmates and what not, he thought she didn't believe in that kind of things. " I thought you didn't believe in that, who's the unlucky lad?"

"You don't remember" Ana states with a crestfallen look on her face, her heart dropping to her stomach and eyes watering. She was extremely close to sobbing, the exhaustion and mental and emotional toll finally catching up to her. Had this all been for nothing? All the questions, the anger, the confusion, everything? What was it worth bringing it up again if he didn't know. "It's nothing, just a brief fling that started babbling about soulmates. The usual."

"I'm going back to sleep" And cry, she adds to herself, turning around and marching back to her room, almost sprinting the last distance to avoid him seeing her bawl her eyes out. He didn't remember them being soulmates, it had all been for nothing. Now only she was burdened with the knowledge and he would continue being ignorant of it, she decided. She wouldn't tell him this time, no amount of liquid courage could make her expose herself that way again. Never again.

Spike's POV

"I wonder what that's all about" He asked out loud while scratching his newly bleached hair. Maybe she hit her head while killing some demon, he speculated, or maybe she was hit by a curse by some vengeful witch. The last thought was accompanied by a smug smirk as if it wouldn't surprise him at all if it had happened.

"Come back to bed Spike" Dru whispered with a sultry tone in her voice and hooded eyes. "I thought you wanted a round two"

"Something's up with Ana, do you happen to know something about this soulmate crap she's been babbling about?" Spike turned around to face his partner with confusion painted on his face. " She just barged down here like she had something bloody important to tell me"

" Miss Edith says Ana needs some sleep" Dru responded while petting said doll, avoiding eye contact with the other vampire. She had risked a lot on this, too much for it all to fall apart.

"Oh screw Miss Edith" Spike cursed, spinning around once more and marched towards Ana's door, intent on figuring out what was going on. " She asked me if I don't remember which means she told me something that I somehow forgot"

"And pray tell who have I been with all day? Hmm, pet?" Spike asked with his hand on the door handle. If it was possible he imagined he would have had a light bulb shining like a diamond over his head. "Do you know what she's talking about?"

"I might have done a little something" The dark-haired vampire confessed with a small smile on her face. "I just wanted it to be like before"

"And what in all bloody hells did you do, Dru?" Spike barked and grabbed her by the shoulders. "What did you do to me?"

"Just a teeny tiny little spell"
