Buffy sat quietly in the library long after everyone else had left. Her mind was busy trying to process everything that had happened in the last few days. So much of her life that she had taken for granted had changed. Foremost in her mind was that her best friend was not the person that Buffy had thought she was. She was so strong. And she hadn't confided in Buffy. She hadn't let Buffy take care of her. Buffy couldn't understand how she had missed when Willow had become her own person instead of the slayer's shadow. Buffy wasn't sure if she could stand being the protected instead of the protector. Everything had been turned around on her. She was the slayer but there was nothing she could do this time. She had to depend on her worst enemy and her best friend who happened to be sleeping with her worst enemy.
Buffy groaned. She so did not want to be thinking about Willow and Spike sleeping together. Thoughts like that made her stomach roll. She wished that things were simple and easy again but she had a feeling that life was going to get much more complicated.
The phone rang, startling Buffy out of her thoughts. She jumped up to get it and found a frantic Spike on the other end. Willow, something had happened to Willow. Buffy dropped the phone, not bothering to hang it up. Please God let Willow be okay was the only thought through running through her head as she raced out the door.
Faith and Xander patrolled the cemetery, stakes in hand. They talked, awkwardly. Not about anything important just day to day stuff. Xander thought that if they were anymore uncomfortable around one another he would be asking her about the weather. He was almost ready to resort to the clichéd topic when they were attacked. One tackled Xander and he landed on his back with a vamp trying to use him as an all you can eat buffet. Faith pulled the vampire off of him and staked it. Xander started to mutter thanks but Faith was off. She ran after the two other's that had scattered when they realized they were dealing with a slayer. They didn't get very far. Faith quickly caught up to them and staked one. The other fought back providing the slayer with a little exercise. Xander watched her from a few hundred feet away. He knew that if he got any closer he would be a hindrance not help. After Faith had dusted the second vamp she smiled and jogged over to him. She was about to say something when Xander's cell phone rang.
"Hello." Xander asked cautiously. The only reason someone would be calling this late was if something was wrong. Xander received most of his calls in the middle of the night.
Faith watched curiously wondering who was on the other end. It must have been of the bad because Xander's face had gone pale.
"We're on our way." Xander said after listening for a few minutes. He looked at Faith and then started out of the cemetery.
"Hey," Faith called after him. "What's going on?"
Xander didn't answer. He just kept walking, motioning for her to follow.
Giles hung up with Xander and ran out the door of his apartment. Wesley was following slightly slower. He was trying to research and run at the same time unfortunately he wasn't very good at it.
"Put the damn book down and hurry up!" Giles shouted at him. He was at his car and unlocking the doors but Wesley hadn't even left the apartment yet. Wesley dropped the book at the door and rushed out to Giles.
"I'm sorry but I thought I had found something."
"Did you?"
"Unfortunately, no. Almost nothing that has been happening is recorded." Wesley said. He sounded amazed that no one had thought to write down all of their tortuous experiences for him to read about later. Giles shook his head. He wondered about the new watcher. His head wasn't always screwed on straight. Giles sighed and started the car. They had to get to Willow's
