In actuality it took them for days to get everything ready and by then Jenny was more then ready to get the whole thing over with. The plan was simple, Buffy was to draw Angel out and keep him distracted long enough for Jenny to complete the spell. Hopefully it would work, (Hopefully being the key word). They had only seen Angel twice since the attack, Buffy wasn't sure wither to be worried or not, just to be sure she was going with worried. Her mom was out of town for the week so at least, she didn't have to worry about her and she didn't have to account for all her time away from home. Giles and Jenny watched as she threw stakes in to a bag along with other supplies. Giles was tempted to tempt if she needed that much but with Angel you never knew, Xander hadn't spoken to them or helped them in anyway. He believed that Angel needed to die; Buffy was pushing that thought out of her mind, She knew if the spell worked then her Angel would be back, safe with her." How long do you need?" She asked Jenny "Twenty-five minutes" Jenny said "At least", Buffy nodded "You'll get it "? Willow looked up from where she was helping Jenny get the stuff ready "You sure your ready to do this?" She asked Buffy. Buffy nodded " Yeah, I'm sure". She headed for the door; Xander came in just before she reached it." What can I do to help?" He asked stiffly "Help them get ready to do the spell " She said coolly. Not stopping or slowing down, she headed out the doors in to the night.
Angelus was in a bad mood and everyone knew it; since the failed attack everyone in the house had been walking on eggshells around him even Dru .He was worried that the Romanian bitch would get to the spell before he could get to her. At the merest look from him the minions, scattered out of his way. Normally this would have delighted him but he was to worry to even notice. He may have destroyed her computer but she was smart enough he knew to have a back up somewhere. And to make matter worse she was with that tweed-clad twit, so she was safe where he couldn't get to her, He stormed past Spike and the minions, grabbing his duster as he went. "Where are you headed?" Spike said "Out" Angel said heading for the door. "Good" Spike not looking up from his paper " Don't come back now ya hear"
The cemetery was dark and mist, something right out of a horror movie. Buffy slunk through it quiet as a mouse, past the graves and the bench ware Angel and herself had spent countless patrols making out. Then swept back past the grave where Angel had once asked her if she didn't care what happened in a year or five years down the road. At the time she had told him all she could see was he, all she wanted was he. She wished now she had thought more coolly, hadn't been so blind. She wished she had been thinking the night Angel and her made love; maybe it wouldn't have come to this if she had. Now maybe she had a chance to make things right. If she could find them that was" Typical" She muttered, the one night she wanted to fight him and he wasn't around. He was probably in with Dru, oh well. She 'd do one more sweep then check the Bronze. And if he wasn't there then she didn't know what they'd do. Suddenly she heard a noise behind her and whirled around to find – nothing, Boy she thought, she was really getting paranoid. She turned and almost walked straight in to the arms of hell. Angelus was standing behind her, close enough that if she reached out she could touch him. "Hello lover" he said with an evil smile.
"Okay" Jenny said "We're all set up lets do this". Willow nodded and Jenny smiled, after all this was over she was going to start to teach Willow about Paganism and magic. The girl seemed to have a natural knack for it. Rupert helped her get up and sit on the table. She sat cross-legged with the orb in front of her and with a look around at them all, she began.
The fight was going badly for both Buffy and Angel. They were both accumulating wounds. Angel's on one hand were healing fast while Buffy's weren't. "Come on" He taunted as he launched a kick at her "Put some effort in to it ". She stumbled back but retaliated with a string of well-timed kicks and punches that took him by surprise and would have made Giles pound. Angelus stumbled unprepared for the force of it." I'm putting as much effort in to it I can muster to kick your sorry miserable ass!" She cried
" I can't help it if you don't get my blood hot and running" "Soon it will run all over the ground, "he snarled lunging again at her.
"God's bind him" Jenny cried, " Cast his heart in to the interregnum by the power of my ancestors powers I call restore this soul to the beast, let him know the pain of humanities "Giles and the other watched here closely, the had never seen Jenny do a spell with out the aide of her computer. She looked amazing to him like some goddess, with her eyes blazing fire and her hair (Which had grown surprisingly long over the past few months) curling around her face. Wild and powerful, every bit a gypsy.
Angelus thought that this was great, Buffy was losing badly, he'd kill her tonight then he'd start on her friends. The pregnant Gypsy first, so that Giles could watch her die. He punched Buffy hard and she went down, rolling out of his way before he could grab her. She was a spry little thing; he'd give her credit for that. He was going to enjoy watching the light go from her eyes. Even the spryest of prey is eventually caught by the hunter.
Buffy was staring to feel it; she didn't know how much more she could take. "Come on Jenny " She whispered. Five more minutes and she'd have to do the one thing she didn't want to have to do.
"By my power I call " Jenny said, " By my power I wield, so be it let him know the full weight of humanities, Bind his heart, I command thee ". Her hands began to shake suddenly she knew why only the wisest of elders was allowed to do these spells. She didn't know how much more she could take without hurting her or her child.
Buffy, punched Angel in the jaw and he went down, it was to late the spell must have failed. He fell to his knees and she prepared to do her hardest job of all.
"By my power I call by my power I command, "Jenny cried, "Restore his soil to mortal land so mote it be" The orb in front of her disappeared and the energy went out of her in a rush. She'd have fallen off the table if Rupert hadn't caught her. "I think it worked "She managed to say "But we'll have to wait and see"
Buffy pulled the stake from her coat and cautiously stepped forward. Just as he was getting up Angel had fallen again with a cry. This might be the only opportunity she was going to have. She thought she might have seen something pass through his eyes but she wasn't sure. "Angel" she whispered "Buffy" He whispered back. She saw it in his eyes, he was her Angel again. With a cry of joy she threw herself in to his arms and they just held each other, whole the world darkened around then until they were the only one's in it.
