Spike stopped as the warmth washed over him. "Here we are." He whispered. Buffy looked down to Joyce and took a deep breath. "Let's go." Spike turned quickly. "Buffy we don't have to do this." Buffy ran her hand across his cheek softly. "If we want to keep Joyce we have to."

Spike sighed. "Fine. Just follow me." Buffy held Spike's hand and took a couple of steps forward. The alley melted away into a dank brown room. "ew…" Buffy choked. Spike walked over to a large door and knocked hard.

Buffy took a step back repulsed by the man who came out. His face was scarred and his grin showed evil and power. His hair was long and brown and it looked like it had not been washed in months. The man grinned as he saw the baby. "A slayer and vampire's child? A very valuble thing indeed. I would pay big bucks to have such a rare trinket." Buffy trembled and held Joyce close to her chest. "We come to you for help." Spike growled. Rack turned to look at Spike. "I know you want to be normal. I could hear that miles away. But what are you going to pay me for doing this spell?" Buffy looked to Spike who just stared at Rack calmly.

"We'll leave town with the slayer's chums and you'll be free to do what you want." Rack smirked. "I need more than that. This spell is very complex." Buffy took a step closer and stared at Rack. "If you can take our powers and leave them to somebody else. Then we'll…" buffy took a deep breath. "We'll leave town and we'll give you a witch with lots of power." Rack eyed Buffy with intrest. "And what witch would this be?" Spike stared at Buffy. What was she up to? "Amy Madison. She is the daughter of…" buffy shivered as he interrupted her "Catherine the great Madison. Yes I know who they are. But you have Amy?" Buffy nodded. "We'll give her to you." Rack smiled and pointed into the next room. "This is a deal I'm starting to like." He chuckled as he closed the door.

"Now why do you two wish to be human? Spike you're a vampire. You have strength and bad vibes coming up you in waves. Though I guess you have the reason of wanting to be in broad daylight." Rack looked over at Buffy slyly. "But you…I don't understand why you wish to change. You're got a great deal from what I see. You have the joys of human beings while you have the speed strength and senses of a vampire. You have the best of both worlds." Buffy glared strongly at him. "You do not need a reason. Just help us." Rack reached towards Buffy and she flinched before he touched her. "I have to touch you slayer. Just relax." Buffy felt a cold fear rip through her as his hands gripped her wrist and pulled her towards him.

Spike growled and reached out to stop him but the room spun and he shook his head to gain balance. The room faded in and out and Spike stumbled to his knees as he heard Buffy scream. Spike sunk to the floor dizzily and closed his eyes as he took a breath. The pain. Spike had never felt pain like this. The chip was not even close to this. Pain hummed through his head as he growled. Rack had tricked them. He was going to hurt Joyce. Spike tried to pull himself up onto his elbows but he fell back and darkness swept around him.

Buffy pulled away from him and held Joyce tightly. "What in the hell do you think your doing?" she asked gruffly. Rack smirked and grabbed her wrist again. A surge of pain and cold swept over her. Buffy fell back and rack sat there watching her. He slowly stood and took the baby from her arms. "Such a beautiful baby. I will enjoy being with her during your unconsciousness." Buffy tried to lift her arm but found she was paralyzed. She whimpered as the room faded into a dark endless space. Rack had betrayed them.



Rack smiled at Joyce. "You are destined for many great things little one. Now if they are good or evil I can not say. But no matter what your parents do. Nothing will stop you from being powerful." Joyce giggled and he put his finger to his lips as a silent signal. "But you just keep that to yourself okay?"

Rack looked at Joyce's parents on the floor and smiled. "Your parents that you know today will be gone forever. But I'll give you two even better ones." Rack traced the scratch on her cheek softly "Here is my gift to you. Your scar will fade yes. But it will always be there. This is a mark of your past." Rack cut his cheek and wiped the blood off. "And a sign of where you came from. I will come check on you someday little one. But I see you as being the powerful one then."
