(This chapter is what's going on in Sunnydale. This chapter is two nights long if that makes sense. O you'll see what I mean. The Scooby Gang is also heartbroken over losing Rain but will they deal a different way?)
"Hey Wil can we do it?" Xander asked.
"Yes all we need is Rain's rock. Are you sure you want to do this Buffy?" Willow looked at her best friend.
"Yes, I think it's what she wants also."
"So, are you going to call Connor?" Willow smiled anxiously.
"No, we're going to surprise him."
"Luv do you really think she wants to be taken out of Heaven?" Spike lit a cigarette.
"I don't think she's in Heaven or Hell." Buffy shrugged.
"Why do you think that luv?"
"I don't know but I was researching the Amazons and it says that their spirits get another chance to do un finished business only if someone breaks their rock."
"All Amazons?" Xander looked curious he laid his arm around Willow's hip.
"No, just those in the Royal Family. Lily told me that they were the Chinyere Royal Family. When they die their blood or their essence form a rock." Buffy laid her head on Spike's shoulder.
"So we have to break her rock hoping that she has un finished business?" Willow questioned her friend.
"Yes, kind of we'll do a ceremony to bring her back and break her rock giving back her spirit." Buffy smiled.
"Buff but remember what happened when we brought you back something followed you here?" Xander stated.
"I know but if she's not in Heaven or Hell whey should it matter?" Willow shrugged.
"Well Xander's right we'll take safety precautions." Buffy looked at Spike who looked weary.
"What if she comes back like you did?" Spike looked at Buffy.
"What do you mean?" Buffy looked shocked.
"You know less human." Spike took a drag from his cigarette.
"We also should help her and bring digging tools." Xander tried to make Spike shut up.
"You're right." Buffy nodded remembering the cuts and dirtiness of her hands.
"Are we going to tell Giles, Mallory, Chris, Bradley, or Luther?" Wil asked.
"No, they'll all just disagree especially Luther he isn't use to us." Buffy shook her head.
"But we should tell Giles because other wise he'll be mad." Wil nodded her head.
"Bloody I'm going for a walk luv." Spike kissed Buffy's cheek quickly.
"What's wrong?" Buffy grabbed his arm.
"Pet is 15 and you're all actin like she can get through being back to life maybe not even as human as she's suppose to be."
"Spike she's the slayer and as you said she's 15 she deserves another chance." Xander glared.
"Look you poof I care about her too."
"O, the Big Bad cares about a 15-year-call the Initiative." Xander stood up and walked over to Spike. "Buffy may love you but to me you're nothing but a neutered vamp."
"Really poof?" Spike hit Xander across the face.
Xander came back and looked at Spike. "Where's the pain?"
"O, did I forget to tell you Wil and I took Spike to get the chip removed." Buffy avoided looking at Xander.
"Good." Xander punched Spike.
"What the hell?" Spike growled and hit Xander back.
"Stop it!" Buffy yelled as Xander tackled Spike. "Stop it!" Buffy grabbed Xander and pulled him off Spike and slapped him. Spike laughed Buffy turned and slapped Spike too. "We're not here to see who has more testosterone we are trying to get Rain back." Buffy pulled her hand through her hair.
"Sorry Buff."
"Yeah sorry luv."
"Good so tomorrow night." Buffy nodded her head.

The Next Night
************************************************************************
"Wil you ready?" Buffy asked as she handed the rock to Spike.
"Yes, ok Spike when the candles blow out you break the rock." Wil kneeled down in front of Rain's grave.
"Ok everyone light your candle." Buffy and Xander lit their candle.
"Protectors of good and evil we come to now to bring back a strong protector the last Slayer she died saving the world we need her back now." The wind blew some of Willow's hair. "She is needed to fight and help mankind bring her back let her pass." More wind blew and the candles when out Spike took the sword and stuck it through the rock a bight light emerged from it and went down through Rain's grave.
"Start digging." Buffy looked at Xander and Spike.
The 3 picked up shovels and started digging while down inside the earth Rain spirit finished returning. Rain opened her eyes. "Ok not cool!" Rain kicked a whole into coffin. "Real smart Rain." Rain punched a hole as dirt fell on her face.
I called you today just to hear you say
You were not around
When the message was through, though I wanted to
I couldn't make a sound
I wanna tell you the things I've seen
I wanna take you to where I've been
Rain stuck her hand through the hole and noticed the soil moving up. "Rain?" She heard someone call.
"Help me!" Rain beated on her coffin.
Soil fell on top of her but that meant the people were digging faster. Rain could finally see out of the hole that she had made, she inhaled air. Her coffin opened and the first face she saw was Spike.
"Hey pet." He smiled lending her a hand. "Are you all right?"
She noticed Xander and Willow standing behind Spike. Rain grabbed Spike's hand and pulled herself up.
"Thank the lord!" Rain turned around to see a teary eyed Buffy. She noticed no Connor or Angel she frowned. "Where's Connor?" Rain looked at Buffy.
"He's in L.A." Buffy looked hurt.
"Where's the rest of the rocks?" Rain remembered her mission was to save her half sister Daisy.
"At Giles." Xander nodded.
"Why aren't Mallory, Chris, Bradley, and Giles here?"
"Mallory and Chris are on patrol, Bradley is with his ex-girlfriend and they also don't know we brought you back. Giles just couldn't be here." Wil smiled at the young slayer.
And I wish you were here with me
Don't you know
I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you
Ohhh yeah I do
Rain nodded finally climbing out of the 6ft. hole. Rain then wrapped her arms around Buffy and started to cry. Buffy held her and let the tears flow. "It's all right." Buffy sniffed.
"I missed all of you" Rain looked at the 4 people who had brought her back to life. "Can I call Connor?" Rain looked back at Buffy.
"Sure when ever you're ready."
"He'll have to wait." Rain's memory went back to her mom. "I've got something important to do." Rain started walking towards Giles.
"Rain what's wrong?" Buffy asked.
"You remember that rock Kay smashed right? Well that was my dad's spirit he was staked by my sister's a day or two my mom found out she was pregnant with me my dad was turned to a vamp he didn't think I was his child he even tried to kill me after I was born well any ways my mom had a daughter after she sent me away and of course my dad knew if wasn't his after Daisy that's the girls name was born my mom sent the father and Daisy away she knew my dad would try to kill them my dad murdered my mom and my sisters staked my dad well his wish if his spirit was released to kill Daisy my mom wish was to protect her daughters so I have to release her because she knows where Daisy is we have to get to her before my dad does. I don't even know if she's still alive." Rain stopped in her tracks.
Buffy and Spike also stopped they all turned in one direction a girl's scream. Rain, Buffy, Spike took off running. They came to a clearing where Bradley was fighting a vamp and a girl he was with was trying to escape from another one. Rain was handed a stake from Buffy they both charged at the vamps. The vamp that was attacking the girl bit down into the girl's neck.
I'm writing to say I had a wonderful day
Hangin' with my friends
But the memory dies as the sun reach the skies
I'm alone again
I wanna tell you the weather is fine
"Hey sod off!" Rain yelled the vamp stared at her. "Pick on somebody as strong as you." The vamp threw the girl to the ground and jumped at Rain. Rain went to kick but the vamp caught her foot and pulled up making her land flat on her butt. "You try being dead for a month." Rain mumbled as she tripped the vamp and staked him. She ran over to the girl. "Are you all right? Ok scratch that dumb question." Rain shook her head.
"Casey holy crap Rain!" Bradley stood over the two girls.
"In the flesh." Rain smiled at her best friend.
"What...How?" Bradley stared shocked.
"Bradley are you all..." Mallory, Chris, and a man in tweed ran up to the group. "Rain is that you?" Tears filled Mallory's eyes.
Rain stood slowly and nodded at her 3 best friends. They all jumped at her and hugged her. Buffy help Casey up and looked at her neck.
"You'll be fine." Buffy smiled.
"Bradley what's going on? What were those things?" Casey looked at the 4 friends hugging.
"Um... vampires." Bradley looked at his friends for help.
"Yeah you know Mallory, Buffy, and I are Vampire Slayers we protect the world." Rain nodded already feeling weird being back from the dead.
When the night comes around you were on my mind
And I wish you were here with me
Don't you know
I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you - yes I do - I miss you
I really miss you
Ohhh yeah I do
"Ok freaked just a little." Casey turned her head to look at all them.
"May I ask who the bloody hell you are?" The man in tweed glared at Rain.
"I'm Rain what's it to you Brit?"
"Impossible the Destroyer killed you."
"What did you just call him?" Rain looked at the man.
"The Destroyer you know Angelus's son."
"Who are you?" Rain was taken back by the term the Destroyer.
"Luther O'Neill I'm Mallory's watcher I would have been yours if the circumstances hadn't occurred. Giles couldn't control the situation so they sent me right away."
"Giles is a perfectly good watcher." Rain retorted.
"Really so does he know his slayer is bringing back the dead?" Luther looked at Rain.
"Yes actually I do." Giles walked up to them. "Bradley you might want to take Casey home."
I wanna tell you the things I've seen
I wanna take you to where I've been
And I wish you were here with me
Oh, don't you know
I really miss you - yes I do - yeah
I really miss you - I miss you
I called you today just to hear you say
"All right let's go Casey." Bradley walked over to her.
"Rain it's great to have you back." Giles opened his arms to the 15-year-old.
"It's great to be back." Rain embraced Giles.
"Rupert have you forgotten that..." Luther was cut off by Spike growling.
"You know you poof you can shut your gab. Rain's back and we would like to just to talk to her because we all missed her dreadfully especially Mallory and with all the very rude things you say to her about Rain I think she deserves time alone with her best friend so sod off!" Spike growled.
"Wait a minute my friend no my best friend was in pain and you treated like what a slave? She's a slayer she could take your head off!" Rain grew angry it was interrupted with a head pain and then a vision. Rain shook her head. "O god Daisy! Giles we have to get to your house admittedly. I don't know how much time I have." Giles and Rain ran to his car. Buffy and Spike started running so did the rest of the group. "Don't let me too late." Rain prayed as she opened the door she sat in the seat and fondled her ring on her ring finger Connor's loving smiled made her calm a little. She needed him now but she couldn't think about him now not with her dad on the look out for Daisy. Rain looked up and the ring sent warmness down her body.
************************************************************************
L.A.
************************************************************************
Connor held the picture of Rain he looked at their ring. "Con?" Mackenzie walked into the room. Tears slid gently down his cheeks, Mackenzie sat down next to him quietly. "She the Angel you talk to at night?" Mackenzie looked curiously at her new brother. Connor nodded, Mackenzie held his left hand and stroked the ring. "This ring is really warm." Mackenzie stared at the picture Connor was holding. Connor looked at Mackenzie he was about to say something when his window shattered and 2 demons growled. "Kenzie!" Connor scoped up his sister and put her behind him.
You were not around
When the message was through, though I wanted to
I couldn't make a sound
I'm writing to say I had a wonderful day
Hangin' with my friends
But the memory dies as the sun reach the skies
I'm alone again
(Ok Rain's back and kicking will she be able to save her half sister Daisy? What do the 2 demons want? How will Connor save himself and Mackenzie? Please review!)
