Giles was so relieved to hear Angel's voice on the phone. "Where in the hell have you been? I have been trying to keep everyone's hopes up, but they were pretty sure that you had been discovered by Buffy. Is everything alright?"

"Yea, sorry. I just couldn't convince her to come, not like Angelus would. She had other things.umm. she had already made plans and there was nothing I could do, but we are on for tonight, and I got some of her blood. And trust me when I say you don't want to know how. I will see you tonight, I have to go, Buffy is coming."

Before Giles could say a word, he heard the dial tone. Turning to the wide eyed faces behind him he said, " It looks like Angel was delayed last night, and that there was nothing he could have done to get Buffy here tonight without her suspecting something was wrong."

"O, I get it. Buffy wanted Angel and her to. eww!" Dawn screeched and shuttered at the thought.

"Come come, now I am sure Angel wouldn't let that happen." Giles could tell by their faces however that it seemed that Angelus would not be able to resist Buffy, and therefore a reason he couldn't get out of. He didn't want to thin about it, Buffy was always like a daughter to him, and that was not a pleasant thought.

" I think we should run-over what we are going to do tonight, this has to be flawless." Willow was tired of waiting, she wanted Buffy back, and it was taking to damn long. If Angel didn't come through tonight, she would have to go to a more extreme alternate plan.

" Angelus, lets go traveling, I want to see the world. We could go back to Ireland, were you first because a demon. Then off to Europe. What do you say? "

Angel cringed at the thought of going back to Ireland. He loved his country, but the damage he made was too strong and still fresh in his memory. "Naw, Ireland is boring. Now Europe, there is a beautiful place to go. You and me. drinking. the blood. of innocent people, that would be something I would never forget." He kissed her on the cheek and put his arm around her.

"Tell me why we are going back to the hotel again? Don't we have minions to do that for us?" Buffy would follow Angel to Hell and back, with pleasure, but she wasn't sure what he wanted with that old dump of his.

" I already told you lover. I want to pick up the chains and other weapons, and I figured it had some value to us. I think you and I should have one more night there. In the basement, where I made you. Come on, what do you say?"

Buffy grinned seductively. She loved when he got all sentimental on him. " Over course. How could I refuse that! Come on, it is sunset. Lets go back where it all began."

"And where it will all end," Angel thought to himself.

Giles!! They're coming, Willow, Tarea, your on!" Xander, was the lookout, and he finally got to do something, and he did it right. They were gonna finally get Buffy back.

Willow and Tarea start chanting a spell in Quireauch-anmue up stairs and the house rattles. Xander looks out side a sees Buffy looking at Angel, and it looked like she was saying something along the lines of that she didn't feel right and something was happening. Angel smiled, and pretended to think she was talking about the "good time" they were about to have and picked her up with a finally remark of "I knew I always swept you off your feet." It looked like Buffy was trying to explain but Angel still disregarding it.

"Everyone, get into positions and hide. Giles, be ready to say the incantation as they walk through the door, if you do it right both Buffy and Angel should pass out once they enter the room," Xander said with his final instructions.

Giles says, " Gods of the undead, let any being that passes over this threshold be weighed on by their eyes and taken off to sleep. O Gods hear me, hear me, HEAR ME!"

A bluish flash covers the rooms and disappears just as the knob turns. Angel and opens the door with Buffy in his arms. Buffy screams in horror when she sees the gang just before she passes out.

Anya, Dawn, Willow, Tarea, Xander, and Giles all stare at the two steel cages. One with Buffy in it shackled to the wall, and the other with Angel shackled to the wall with a circle of Buffy's blood around him. Willow had insisted of shackling both of them, just incase something went amiss. Willow and Tarea were preparing the spelling and checking to see if everything was correct just as Buffy awoke. They had hoped she would be asleep when they did the spell for it to run smoother, but had expected that not to happen.

"Guys, it is me, Buffy. I am not a vampire, I just did it to disguise myself from Angel, let me out and I will finish Angel." Buffy tried to sound convincing.

The group rolled their eyes at Buffy's lame attempt to convince them. Dawn pulled out some holy water and sprayed Buffy with it. Flinched in pain and cursed under her breath.

All of a sudden Willow and Tarea begant he spell. At once they elevated from the floor and chanted very expeditiously. Buffy was in the background trying to say something to convince them to let her out, but even she knew their was nothing she could do. All of a sudden the ring of blood around Buffy glowed and elevated around him. Angel woke in pain as saw it circling very fast around him and gasped as it entered through his chest and passed out in pain. Then Buffy started to glow and her skin turned very pale. Her eyes were crimson. As a tear trickled down her face a shockwave seemed to go through her, as if recharging her heart. They group could almost see her heart shining through her skimpy shirt. She looked at the group mouthed "Thank you" and then also passed out in pain.

Willow looked at them as she stood up and said, I did what I could, now all we have to do is wait and see if that was enough.
