"I can´t believe it´s broken" Willow stared down at the remote in her hand "Have you checked the batteries?" Willow asked as she turned around to face Xander.

Xander simply ignored her last statement. His mind was too occupied with Faith´s arrival

"I´m telling you she´s back" Xander said as he handed the redhead a cup of hot chocolate

The witch had gotten herself comfortable in the over used sofa in Xander´s apartment. As she slowly sipped, wincing when the hot fluid burnt her tongue.

"Xander, I believed you the first time" She said, placing her cup on the coffee table

"I just can´t understand why the council sent her, after everything she´s done" Xander sighed as he sat down beside Willow

"You mean after what she did to you?" Willow asked "Xander, it´s a long time ago, we have all changed"

"Well, what if she hasn´t" Xander stood up again

"She has" Willow said

Spike entered the room and sat down

Xander returned with a packet of batteries, giving the blonde vampire a cold glare "Get out of my seat"

"Sorry, I obviously missed the tag" Spike said as he locked his eyes at the muted TV

"I was sitting there" Xander whined as he handed Willow the batteries, the witch turned her attention to the remote, ignoring their behaviour.

"You were, now I am" Spike said without breaking his look from the TV

"Don´t you got somewhere else to be" Xander crossed his arms, staring down at the vampire

"It´s dawn" Spike said

Then he settled down, leaning back into the sofa. Turning his attention to Willow. Who had placed the batteries, she turned the remote towards the TV and switched channel. She smirked evilly as she turned to Xander

"Batteries" Xander cursed himself

Dawn walked down the streets of L.A, letting the sunshine warm her face and shimmer on her dark hair that was pulled back in a ponytail. In her arm she was carrying an old book, hugging it close.

She hesitated when she approached the building "Angel´s investigations" She muttered under her breath. She had never met Angel himself in person, but she had heard a lot about him. She spent another minute studying the building for a minute and then she decided to go in.

Cordelia Chase was sitting by a small desk when the young teenage entered. she pulled up from her papers with a bright smile to be greeted by Buffy´s sister

"Dawn" Cordelia managed out "What are you doing here?"

She took few seconds to study the young woman in front of her. Dawn had sure grown up since she had last seen her. But that was a long time ago.

Dawn lay the book down on table where Cordelia could see "I found a spell"

Cordelia ran her fingertip down the old cover of the book that was printed with old style ink "Witchcrafts?"

"There´s an awakening spell there" Dawn flipped the pages until she found the spell

"I´m sorry, but I couldn´t think of anyone else to come to. I want to bring her back"

"Oh, Dawnie, sweetie.." Cordelia said as she hugged her briefly "Those kinds of spells are really dangerous"

"I know, but we have done it before, eh - actually Willow and Tara. But.." Dawn said

"Why didn´t you ask Willow?" Cordelia asked

"Willow´s done with the magic" Dawn said "She can´t control her powers anymore, so I´m asking you"

Cordelia stayed silent for a while

"Well, okay. I guess I´m going to Sunnydale" Cordelia said

"Yes!" Dawn celebrated her victory by jumping up and hugging Cordelia

Xander stared down thoughtfully at the note in his hand. An address had been scribbled down on a paper. Faith and Wesley´s address to be exact. Faith had given it to him. He wasn´t sure of the reason and he was certainly not sure if he could forgive her. But there was something about her eyes, like she was begging to be forgiven.

"Still thinking about her, are we?" Spike asked as he grabbed his coat

Xander ignored him. His attention was drawn to the handwriting

"Well, I´m out" Spike notified

Xander jumped up from his thoughts "Where to? You are useless around the cemeteries nowadays. The slayer has arrived, you´re free from your- - guilt? Or whatever it was that enforced you to kill your kinds

"Thanks for the pep talk, pet" Spike smirked "Anyway, I´m not guilty"

"Right, I know what you mean. The anger.. makes you wanna hit something- - I know that feeling" Xander shrugged

"Then why don´t you tag along?" Spike asked

Xander turned his attention back to the note "I have plans"
