Chapter 3: Some secrets are out.

Setting: In Dawn's math class, around ten in the morning



"So turn your books to page 34 and." Dawn raises her hand as the teacher is speaking "Yes Dawn."

"I did not get a book,"

"Well there are some extras in the basement, just tell them I sent you," replied the teacher.

"Ok," Dawn said.

In the basement, Anya was starting to wake up.

"Anya, I am so sorry," Spike pleaded.

"It is ok but, you have to tell Buffy you have a soul," Anya said.

"No, Willow, Giles, Xander, especially the lil'bit and Buffy must never find out," Spike said looking angry and worried at the same time.

"But, if you tell tem you have a soul they will all forgive you, except Xander, he hates you no matter what," Anya said.

"That's why I'm not telling, I don't want them to forgive me just because I have a soul," Spike replied.

"Geese this soul thing is really getting to you!" said Anya.

"Buffy must never find out," Dawn walks in the basement, "I have a soul!" spike practically yelled.

"What!?!" Dawn said as her eyes opened wide.

"Dawn!" Anya and spike cried in unison.

Dawn ran out into the hall, Spike tried to fallow her then the sun hit him.

"Buffy made sure that Xander put in a lot of sky lights, just in case,' Anya said.

We see Buffy talking to a kid in her office. Dawn entered panting.

"Buffy." Dawn said.

"Is this important Dawn? I'm talking to Jacob." Buffy said looking a little worried.

"It is Sp..William," Dawn replied.

Buffy's eyes opened big "Well I have to talk to Jacob for 5 more minutes and then we can talk, ok," she said calmly.

"Ok," Dawn said.

After Jacob left the office, Dawn walked in.

"So what is this about Spike," Buffy said.

"He is back and.." Dawn trailed off thinking if she should tell Buffy about the soul part.

"And what?" Buffy asked.

"And Anya knows," Dawn replied deciding not to tell Buffy about the soul part, hopping to get her side tracked with Anya.

"Anya, huh?" asked Buffy, Buffy did not even ask where Spike was she just left to go see Anya.

We are at Anya's house, Buffy knocks on the door calmly.

"Hi Buffy, how ya doing?" Anya asked.

"Not to well, I found out that Spike is back in town," Buffy said.

"Yeah and living in the school basement," Anya said, then she saw Buffy's face, "You did not no that did you?"

"I do now, thanks," Buffy said as she knocked Anya out with a punch.

We see Buffy entering the basement, with the stake in her hand.

"Hi, Spike," she said as she pinned him up against the wall, stake raised high ready for the kill.

Spike had that evil look in his eyes, he thought quickly to think of some thing to distract Buffy, then he remembered what he had heard a few months back "Angel has a son," he said quickly.

"What?" Buffy said.

"And guess who the mother is." Spike said evilly.

"Do I want to know?" she said sadly.

"Darla," he said.

Buffy dropped her stake and Spike and ran.

Spike's face got all calm again, looked a round shrugged, "why dose this keep happening, the last thing I remember is going after Dawn, and that was almost 12 hours ago."

We are at Anya's house she gets wakes from being knocked out "I'm turning into Giles," she said.

We are at The Hyperion.

"What do we need to get this girl to be human again," Angel asked.

We see a demon chained up.

"Nothing much some herbs, a talisman, and. oh," Wesley said.

"What dose thy 'oh' mean?" Angel asked.

"It says 'the blood of the one thing that all demons fear'", Wesley replied.

"What is the one thing all demons fear?" Conner asked.

We see Conner in a chair, he had helped rescue Angel and was no part of Angel Investigations.

"I think she just walked through the door," Angel said with a petrified look on his face.

We see Buffy walking through the door.
