Sorry it took so long to update but I was on vacation and then there was all the trouble with the site. I want to thank my friend Jessica who helped me come up with the original storyline, initially it was gonna end at the cliffhanger but I got so much feedback that I decided to make it a series. Thanks so much and keep reviewing! (

Return of the Ex's - Chapter 2

Buffy broke yet another uneasy silence, "Guys, we have to talk." "I think I'm just going to need some time to sort out things, this is all so sudden-" she was cut off when a horde of vampires crashed through the living room window, spilling shards of glass everywhere. Buffy ran for her weapons chest and dug out a few stakes. She tossed one to Connor and Dawn still had her own. Angel was already fighting one vamp and Spike fought his way through the room to Buffy and she handed him his favorite crossbow. They eyes locked for a second before they both pulled away. In the dining room, Dawn was cornered by one particularly nasty looking vamp. It sent a punch to her face. Damn, that would leave a bruise. She kicked his abdomen, sending him back a few feet and she advanced, sending a string of hard punches and kicks in his direction. He blocked some, but was hit by most. Fed up, the vampire took back the control of the fight and picked up the young girl, tossing her over the table and into the opposite wall. Dawn fell to the floor and the vampire was over her in an instant, going for the kill, when he exploded into dust. A hand grabbed hers and puller her up. She expected it to be Buffy or Spike, but to her surprise it was Connor. She smiled and thanked him and he smiled back. Then they went to help the others. Buffy has backhanded the vamp in front of her, sending him sprawling to the floor from the sheer force. She was about to stake him when another vamp came up behind her and kicked her in the side. She hadn't anticipated that. "Buffy!" Spike shouted from the hallway. He tried to go to her but he was preoccupied with two others. Angel heard Spike's scream and turned to see a vampire beating Buffy mercilessly. She was bleeding from her head and was obviously unconscious but the fiend continued. Angel dusted his rival and kicked the vampire off of Buffy. Dawn appeared in the doorway and he quickly instructed her and Connor to bring her upstairs, away from the fight, and stay with her. Dawn grabbed her under the arms and Connor took her legs and they carried Buffy towards the stairs. Spike saw the two teenagers carrying Buffy's lifeless body up the stairs and he feared the worst. Rage overtook him and he staked his two opponents and ran to the living room to help Angel. He entered just to see Angel dust a vamp, leaving one left. The last surviving vamp looked like hell. His leg was broken and his face was bloody. Angel picked him up by the collar and pushed him into the wall. "Who sent you?" he growled. Dawn and Connor brought Buffy to her bedroom and laid her on her bed. Dawn sat next to her and pushed her hair out of her face. She looked bad. "Could you go to the room down the hall and get Willow and Xander?" Connor stood up and nodded, leaving the room. Dawn turned back to Buffy. "Please wake up, Buffy. I need you. Spike needs you, too. Oh god. You can't get back with Angel, you can't." She started to cry softly when Connor returned with Willow and Xander. Willow looked like she had been crying. "Oh my god, what happened?" Xander asked. "Vampires crashed through a first story window. We weren't ready for them. My dad and Spike are still downstairs, finishing off the rest of them. He told us to bring her up here." Connor said. "Uh, thanks for the update.I guess my hysterical crying distracted us.but who are you?" Willow asked, a confused look apparent on her face. "He's Connor, Angel's son. Angel's back and he's human and Spike's back and he's got a soul. Riley was a vampire and Buffy staked him. Oh! And I dusted that creepy girl Drusilla." Dawn smiled remembering how she defeated the vampires but her smile quickly faded as she looked down at Buffy who was still unconscious. "I'm gonna go get the first aid kit." Dawn said and she left the room. Connor turned to follow her, "I'm gonna go downstairs and see what's happening." Willow and Xander shared a confused look before Dawn returned with medical supplies. "Wow, we missed a lot in the past half hour." Xander stated. He watched as Willow and Dawn patched up Buffy's wounds, asking questions to fill in the details of the previous vampire encounters. Downstairs, Angel had tied up the vampire and Spike was interrogating him. "I will never tell you. Kill me first." The vampire spat. Spike growled in frustration and punched him. "Tell me!" he shouted. The vampire only stared back at him with a blank face. "Fine," Angel said, "Then we'll do this the hard way." He walked over to the weapons chest and rummaged around until he found what he was looking for: a bottle of Holy Water. He turned back to the confined prisoner and dangled the bottle in front of him. Their prisoner's eye lighted up. "No! Noo!" In the cool night air a piercing scream of agony could be heard for miles. Connor descended the stairs as Angel poured the holy water on the vampire's exposed skin. The teenager flinched, but understood his father's actions. Spike took out a cigarette and lit it, sitting in a chair watching Angel. Connor approached the scene just in time to hear the pitiful vamp's words. "Fine, fine. I'll tell you. Drusilla found Riley after the helicopter crashed, he was near death. The ambulance hadn't arrived yet and she could smell the slayer's scent on him. She thought she's have some fun. She sired him and he told her the whole story about Spike and the Slayer getting physical. Well, she didn't like that. So they gathered a gang and took off for Sunnydale, bent on revenge." Content with the vampire's explanation, Angel staked him and cleared off the dust before sitting. He glared at Spike who only shrugged in return. "How's Buffy? Is she okay?" Spike asked Connor. Connor looked back towards the stairs. "She's still unconscious. Dawn and the other girl, a red head, are cleaning her wounds. Another man, I think Dawn called him Xander is up there with her, too." "Xander." Spike and Angel growled in unison and raced up the stairs.

A white light surrounded Buffy. She blinked and strained her eyes but she couldn't see anything. For a moment she thought she had died and gone to heaven, again, but this was different. Then she saw a shadow coming towards her. It floated above the mist-covered ground she stood on and then she saw the wings. The being coming toward her was an angel. But there was something familiar about this angel. "Tara?"
