"Goddess of Hecate

Plead my will

I beg of you

Let the strongest of your warrio-"

Willow stopped chanting.

"What?" Buffy asked. "Why'd you stop?"

Willow was looking at Spike right behind Giles not paying much attention to Buffy. Buffy finally noticed Spike and asked, "What? I-is something wrong? Any big bad?"

"No slayer. Just wanted to talk, is this a bad time?"

"Kinda-sorta"

"Spike.h-he's back." Willow said looking at him, then she looked at Buffy. "You knew?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, I guess I forgot to tell you guys. But, hey, it's okay; we're not like THAT anymore. And plus, he's got a soul."

"Spike has a soul?" Giles looked at him strangely. "It doesn't quite seem like he has a soul. Is there any other useful information you'd like to share with us Buffy?"

"Nope don't think so, except- no wait, I told you Dawn's missing already. Nevermind."

"Dawn's missing?" Spike asked.

Willow looked at them in a strange way. "I'm confused."

"Okay, Dawn's missing and we're about to go find her. Spike has a soul and that's pretty much it right?" Everyone nodded.

"Okay then, let's get on with the chanting." Buffy ordered. She looked at Spike. "Are you gonna help or not?"

"I'll help." He sat down next to her as they all spreaded out.

"Okay, we'll form a circle instead of a triangle then." Willow looked at them and was about to start, until Buffy shot in.

"How come your chanting is different from the other girl's?"

"Because it was in a different language. Probably a far back one. A really far back one. But anyway, can we start with the chanting again?"

"Oh, right. Um, yeah, go ahead."

Willow started to chant again.

"Goddess of Hecate

Plead my will

I beg of you

Let the strongest of your warriors prevail

Let her do good

Let everyone be safe again-"

From there, the ground started to shake. But, Willow kept on chanting.

"We beg of you Hecate!" Then suddenly, everyone fell back and blacked out.
