Restoration : An Unholy Truth.
**R minus 1 day 23 hours 35 minutes**
Spike kicked open the door to the summers residence.
"Buffy!" he yelled, "BUFFY!" Spike moved towards the living room
Buffy, Willow and Tara all came running down the stairs just in time to see Spike lay Dawn on the couch.
"What Happened?!" Buffy cried as she ran to Dawn's side and pushing Spike out of the way.
"She fainted again." Spike answered, "Like she did at dinner."
"This could be a symptom of something happening to her." Willow said.
"Yea, she was brought back to life, that must have some side effects." Tara added.
"Call Giles, tell him Dawn's fainted and she has a weak pulse and shallow breathing." Buffy said, she was almost panicking.
"Ok." Spike said as he walked over and picked up the phone. He punched in Giles' phone number, "Yea, you better get over here, Dawn's in trouble." He listened for a few seconds before hanging up, "He's on his way, he said to make her comfortable."
Buffy looked slightly relieved. Willow and Tara glanced at each other the fear and worry in both their eye's was visible.
Less than twenty minutes later Giles was examining Dawn, whose condition hadn't improved, Spike had hastened to point out that it hadn't gotten any worse either.
"I don't know, she seems to be suffering from some sort of shock." the Watcher said as he stood up, "It's not normal though."
"Magic induced?" Willow asked.
"Maybe, I have a spell at the shop that has a spell to check for sure." Giles answered.
"I'll go get it." Spike volunteered.
"Ok, Willow can you go with him?" Giles said looking at the red headed witch.
"Yea." Willow didn't really sound too happy.
Spike and Willow headed off and Giles turned to Buffy.
"What was she doing when this happened?" he asked.
"According to Spike she dragged him out to her grave for a . a makeout session." Buffy said the last two words like they left a bad taste in her mouth.
"Ahem, I see." Giles said looking at Dawn with concern in his eye's, "I need to consult the Oracles, when Willow and Spike get back have them perform the spell, they'll need to use Spike as the seeker and Willow as the anchor." As he was saying this Giles was walking towards the door.
"Why Spike as the seeker?" Tara asked.
"Because he is very close to Dawn and because she loves her." Giles said.
"Got it." Buffy said.
"You got it?" Spike asked.
"Yea." Willow answered, she didn't sound happy to be there with Spike.
"Well, lets get our asses into gear, Dawn's in trouble." Spike said.
Willow heard the deep concern in his voice, "You really love her don't you?" she asked.
"Yea, what of it?" he answered.
"Nothing, I just didn't think it was real." the red haired witch said.
"What else would it be now come on let's go." Spike said heading for the door.
Less than half an hour later Willow and Spike burst in through the Summer's door.
"Giles?" Willow called.
"He's gone to consult the Oracles, did you get the stuff you needed?" Buffy said as she got up from the chair she was sitting in.
"Yea, did good ol' Ripper leave any instructions?" Spike asked.
"Yea, Willow is to act as the anchor and you're the seeker." Buffy said.
"Okay." Willow said simply as she moved into the living room to set up her equipment, "Spike please come and stand in this exact spot."
Spike stood where she indicated and looked at her as she began chanting the words from the spell book.
'Nothing's happnin' Spike thought.
From Buffy's point of view Spike was now enveloped in a ball of glowing green energy, and Willow was still chanting.
Suddenly a booming voice echoed through the room, "DO NOT INTERFERE!" and the green energy faded and disappeared with a pop.
Willow began the spell again, but nothing happened.
"Shit, the Powers That Be must be stopping it from working." Willow said frustratedly.
Giles was just walking out of the crypt where the Oracles resided as Spike ran up to him.
"The spell didn't work, Red thinks the Powers interfered, What happened with the Oracles?" Spike asked.
"They did interfere, Dawn wasn't meant to die, Buffy was, so the Powers have set in motion a spell to put everything back to the way it should be." Giles did not look happy.
"Can we override the spell?" Spike asked, he was really worried about Dawn.
"I don't know, but we should get back to Dawn." Giles said heading back towards his car.
**R minus 1 day 12 hours 10 minutes**
"Dawn, you okay?" Buffy asked.
It was late morning and Dawn had just woken.
"No, I feel really bad." the young woman answered.
"You have a fever." Spike said after placing his hand on her forehead.
"That can't be good." Buffy said coming round the island in the kitchen.
"No it's an indication that things are going just as the Powers predicted." Giles said walking in from the living room.
"What did the Powers predict?" Dawn asked.
"You were not meant to die in the battle with Glory, Buffy was. So the powers are making thing's right, they've cast a spell that is rewriting things." the Watcher answered.
"Can we stop it?" Dawn asked, she sounded extremely calm for someone who just found out her sister was going to die.
"Willow, Tara and myself are going to spend today researching ways to stop the spell." Giles answered, "Speaking of which I should head off to the shop."
"Okay, just try to find something soon." Buffy called to his retreating form.
**R minus 1 day 6 hours 21 minutes**
"Giles have you found anything?" Buffy's voice came from the speaker on the phone.
"No, I was calling to check up on Dawn, how is she?" Giles asked.
"She doesn't seem worried, but I think that Spike is having that influence on her." she answered.
"Well if the time line isn't altered, I'm going to be very cross with him." Giles said with a little bit of anger in his voice.
**R minus 1 day **
"Anything?" Buffy asked as she walked into The Magic Box.
"No, nothing." Willow said looking very tired and very worried.
"So, what now?" Buffy asked looking at her watcher.
"I don't know." Giles said looking equally worried.
To be continued.
