Wesley was in the kitchen reading the paper and waiting for the kettle to boil.
He was so involved with the paper he didn't even hear the it whistle.

"Oh thank you Alex." When his tea was placed beside him.
When she didn't respond he looked up and saw a white light in the form of a lady.

"Aggh!" Startled he fell off the chair.

"Wesley?" Cole hobbled into the kitchen. "What happened?"

"I...I..saw..." Wesley stuttered.

"A ghost." Cole chuckled. "Isla."

"The ghost has a name?"

"Yes I have a name." The Scottish voice echoed in the kitchen. "I did not mean to frighten you."

"Its all right, I'm just not used to a talking ghost, that's all."

"She's not exactly a ghost, more like castle guardian." Cole told him. "She's been here, oh, couple hundred years."

"That's amazing. Was that you in the hallway a few nights ago?"

"Aye."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Angelo!!!" Alex yelled and thundered up from downstairs, a few hours later. "How dare you involved Wesley!"

Angelo followed her down the stairs. "ME? How did this become my fault?"

"You went and got him!" She snapped at him.

"Cole told me....."

"I DON'T CARE WHAT COLE TOLD YOU!" Alex was turning red with anger.

"What's all the shouting about?" Wesley's timing was perfect.

"You've involved him in something he won't make it out of!" She ignored Wesley and Cole.

"You don't know that." Angelo countered.

"I can't take any chances, he's too important."

"Excuse me, but I am in the room." Wesley pointed out.

"Xander!" Anya was relieved to see the love of her life walk through the doors of the shop.

"Hey." He kissed her and then took a look around. "Busy?"

"No they want to see Giles, and I told them they could wait here." Anya told him.

"He's right behind me." Xander comforted.

"Anya, I need you to....." Giles stopped in mid sentence when he saw the men waiting for him.

"Yes?" Anya asked.

"I need you to call Buffy and tell her I won't be able to see her tonight." Giles ordered.
"Xander, you stay here and mind the store." Giles headed for the back room and was followed by the men.

"Giles." the dark skinned man spoke first.

"Daniel, why have you come?" Giles asked. "Henry, you of all people should know the consequences."

Henry shook his head. "I know, but Giles, things have worsened. We would not be here if weren't important." He set up his laptop computer and pulled a disc from inside his jacket. "With this disc that Elizabeth sent to me, we can change things." He slipped the disc in and let Giles watch the screen.

Giles' expression was that of shock and disbelief. The screen showed a half dead Alex, bleeding from her head, face, arms and neck. Then an angry Seth taunting her and trying to provoke her vampire half. "Turn it off."

"Giles, with this disc, we can prove Seth unworthy of leading." Skylen, was a splitting image of Isis.

"What do you think of this?" Giles questioned Gwen's father.

"Its time to change how things are done." Dominic replied.

"These are dangerous times, Giles, my son told me he watched my father take a bribe from a vampire to leave him and his pack alone." Spoke up Jonathan's father.

"We have nothing to lose." Bane's father told them.

"And our lives to gain back." finished Marcus' father. "What we want from you Giles is your blessing."

"To do what? Start a revolution?"

"The revolution began when she was born and since you are her godfather, we ask for your permission to help her." Skylen asked.

"There will be a war." Giles pointed out.

"No, if this goes to the others, they will support her."

"You don't know that for certain." Giles snapped at Skylen.

"No, we don't know that, be we want to try," Skylen continued, "with Cole as her Watcher, things should go smoothly."

"God help us if she dies." Giles told them. "God help you if she does."
