Buffy took a step back like she had been slapped.

William: Are you ok? You seem upset

Buffy: (Shakes Head) This isn't happening

William: What isn't happening?

Buffy: This... This whole thing with you, first you stake yourself, then you come back as a human with no memory of anything, making googely eyes at me, now you wake up and you are how you were like hundred years ago!

Buffy took a deep breath after she had let out everything staring at the man she had once never thought of as a man, and realized he was looking at her with googely eyes.

Buffy: (sharp, annoyed tone) What?

William: N-nothing

Buffy sighed and turned from the kitchen leaving the shocked confused man behind her, Buffy was frustrated, why did everything have to get all confusing right when everything was supposed to work out, she was going to admit her feelings for Spike but he had to go be Mr. Dramatic and stake himself and now he said he didn't love her.

She turned and looked back at him before she entered the living room, he was staring after her, his blue eyes glazed with tears, he had the face of a man who had been rejected... many times, but Buffy saw something behind that...she saw the Spike she knew, like he was trapped inside the shell of William just screaming to come out, it was then that Buffy understood Spike and why he acted the way he did.

Buffy: William?

William: Yes, miss?

Buffy: Come join me and my friends... we can help you

William smiled and nodded and walked into the living room joining the rest of the Scooby gang.

***

He waited in the shadows, waiting for a vulnerable moment when he could strike, a moment when he could kill the slayer.

***

Xander: So your William, a poet?

William: Yes, yes I am

Xander hid a laugh behind a cough getting glares from all four Women in the room.

Giles: (cleaning glasses) What year is it William?

William: 1880

Giles: I'm afraid not, it is year 2002, you are, well were a Vampire, A vampire named Drusilla sired you

William: Vampire? That's bolderdash

Buffy: no it's not, you were a Vampire, a vampire who loved me

William: How come I don't recall any of this?

Giles: My only guess is that you are reliving your memories, what is the last thing you remember

William: (slight tremor in voice) I was leaving a party, when a dark-haired woman stopped me, then I think I fainted

Giles: That woman was Drusilla, If my theory is correct you are going to be reliving the memories of your first years being a vampire

Willow: (To Giles) So he will act like he did when he was a vampire? Cause I really wouldn't want to meet a young Vampire Spike, who still has the cappablilty to bite

William: Bite?

Buffy: Never mind that, I'll go get some rope

William: (eyes widen) Rope?

Buffy left the group with a very confused William in silence.

Everyone didn't say anything when Buffy left, they just sat uncomfortable with someone they hardly knew in the room.

William Closed his eyes trying to bring his thoughts together, but he got more then he bargained for.

A sharp pain in his neck, feeling the life being drained from him and falling to the ground.

William's eyes snapped opened and his eyes fell on the young girl in front of him, her creamy neck exposed, He leaped towards her, she shrieked as he sunk his teeth into her, then he felt a searing pain in his head

He screamed clutching his head, Xander and Giles grabbed him and held him down while Anya and Willow tried to comfort a shocked Dawn.

Buffy ran into the room, rope in hand she threw it to Xander, who started tying the man who thought he was a vampire to a chair. She went to her sister, there were human bite marks in her neck, they were bleeding slightly.

Buffy: Oh god Dawn are you ok?

Dawn: Y-yeah Buffy, I'm ok, it just stings a little

Anya: The chip still works

Buffy: What?

Anya: The chip in his head, it gave him a big head ache

Buffy: Why would the chip still be in his head if he is human?

No one could answer her question.

***

The nightfall, William who was now calling himself Spike was glaring at Buffy, the look to kill in his eyes.

Dawn didn't go any where near him, she didn't want to have anything to do with him till he was Spike again, the Spike she loved and wanted back.

Giles had finally found a spell that could be used on the Vampire Uther, but she would need back up and of Course Xander volunteered.

Xander: I will back you up Buffy

Buffy &Anya: No

Xander: Why not Buff, I've been back up a hundred times before

Buffy: You need to stay with Anya, I can't risk losing you of all people cause then I'd have a ex-vengence demon at my neck, for getting her... ah... what exactly are you guys now?

Anya: Engaged, he proposed a couple of days ago

Buffy: (small smile) Congrats, but the answer is still no Xander

Dawn: I could go

Buffy: Dawn, not this time, I told you this guy is unpredictable

Giles: I'm going with Buffy, she needs someone who can perform Magic, to do the spell

Willow looked at her feet as Giles said this, he gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

Giles: (softly) One day Willow, you will be able to control your power, but for now you have to leave the magic to me

She nodded not looking up and the slayer and her watcher headed out the door.

Buffy: Dawn, Xander if you want something to do... guard Spike

Xander: (looks at Spike) oo fun
