(Hey thanks for the reviews because you give to me, you get another chapter! Don't you feel special? Well, you should if you don't! N E Ways there is a new character in this chapter and I don't own her. Lela belongs to my friend Ivorycat and I'm very thankful that she let me borrow her! Ok well Connor, Spike, and Angel lost their souls because Cordy took them away you will find out how I promise you. Also, Steven (Connor with out his soul) can't kill Rain because he's still connected to her some how.)
"Rain, I have a problem." Ecks walked up to her in the hall of LAHS
"What's wrong Ecks?" Rain asked quickly.
"My grandmother, I live with her now or at least I did, but when I went home last night she was gone." Ecks looked down.
"Well, after school we'll go to your home so you can get some clothes, when Angel gets resouled I'll tell him and I'm sure he'll let you stay with us." Rain put her arm around his shoulder.
The friends were walking to math when a girl with long chestnut hair bumped into them. "I'm sorry, could you two tell me where Mrs. Union's class is?" The girl looked at her schedule.
"We're just going there, you can walk with us." Rain smiled. "My name is Rain and this is my friend Ecks."
"Hi, thanks my name is Lela." She gave them a small smile.
The 3 walked into the math room. "Hi Lela, I'm Mrs. Union. You're just in luck a boy transfered so I've got one seat behind Rain but why don't you tell us something about yourself?"
"Ok my name is Lela Winters, I used to live in San Francisco before an accident happened and I ended up her." She sighed and Mrs. Union handed her a book. Lela took her seat behind Rain.
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Mrs. Union started the class she gave Lela she gave Rain to see if she was up with the class which, Lela was. Rain could barely think because her stomach hadn't healed all the way and the pain was unbearable. As the bell rang Rain stood up slowly grabbing her notebook, book, and pencil. Lela bumped into her letting Rain give out a whimper.
"I'm sorry, did I hurt you." Lela looked up.
"It's ok, not your fault. I'm just a little bruised because I'm really clumsy." Rain smiled while rubbing her stomach.
"O, you're pregnant?" Lela whispered.
Rain laughed. "No, if I was I assure I wouldn't be at school." Rain lifted her shirt a little for Lela to see her bruise.
"I'm sorry, I'm kind of out of it I hope I didn't offend you in anyway. You don't look like someone who would get pregnant at this age." The two girls walked out the classroom followed by Ecks.
"Thanks, I guess." Rain shrugged.
"I'm embarrassing myself ain't I? You're probably one of those really popular girls who don't give a crap about new students." Lela babbled.
"Me, popular? This is only my second day here." Rain smiled. "Hey Hailie, how's Faith since last night?" Rain asked as the girl passed her.
"She's fine, I'll see you later." Hailie walked down the hall with Kyle.
"Forgive Lela, I'm just tired don't blame yourself for what I say. I just had a very long night." Rain looked at the girl next to her. "What class do you have next?"
"Um...choir I think." The girl pulled out her schedule. "Yeah, choir."
"Well, me too. How about we walk together?" Rain asked.
"Sure, I would love too."
"Ok, well see you later Ecks." Rain smiled as he walked into a classroom.
"Bye Rain, Lela." Ecks nodded.
"Boys." Rain shook her head.
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
"I like your outfit." Lela looked at Rain.
Rain looked at her outfit it was a long sleeved Paul Frank shirt with a monkey on it the sleeves were blue but the other part was white, tan shorts, and her silver Adidas. "Thanks, I guess."
The two went to choir and Mrs. Motley greeted them. As the classes went on Rain found out Lela's real reason for coming to L.A., her mom had to get some help so she now lived in a foster home.
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
Rain, Ecks, Hailie, Casey, Kyle, and Lela sat down to eat lunch. Teens, Rain had never seen before sat down at their table.
"Who is that?" Rain looked at Ecks who was sitting next to her.
"That's Justice, Cammie, Starr, Eric, A.J., Reshawn, and Keene. They're sophomores, they don't bite but kind of weird." He shrugged.
Rain could tell, one girl had black jeans, a blood read shirt, and a leather jacket with a spike necklace. "Raven and Zoey are freshman though." Hailie pointed to two younger girls. "Raven's Justice's sister and Zoey's their cousin."
"O, cool which one is Justice?" Rain looked confused.
"That's Justice." Casey pointed to the girl in the leather jacket, she had shoulder length brown hair, she was a little tan, and from what Rain could see she had emerald eyes. She was tall well taller then Rain.
"There's Starr." Kyle pointed to the African-American girl. She wasn't very short either.
"Of course, Reshawn and Keene." Casey smiled at the mixed twins.
"A.J. and Eric are the coolest to me." Ecks nodded at the other twins with black spiky hair and brown eyes.
"Ecks, I heard you've been talking again." A.J. or Eric walked over and sat down on the other side of Ecks.
"Yeah, thanks to my new friend. Rain this is A.J., A.J. meet Rain also Lela."
"Hi, nobody was able to get him to talk." A.J. smiled as a girl with blond shoulder length hair and gray eyes walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "This beautiful lady is Cammie." A.J. titled his head up and Cammie gave him a peck. Rain looked away and started to pick at her food.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
"We'll get him back." Ecks whispered into her ear.
Rain sighed putting her face in her small tan hands. "I can't eat." She finally stood up, dumped her tray, and walked out of the cafeteria.
She stood by her locker leaning the back of her head against the gray metal. "Hey, you're Rain right?" Justice walked up to her.
"Yeah, can I help you?"
"No, but I give you props for helping Ecks and telling off Tor." She smiled lightly.
"Thanks I guess, but if you don't mind right now I need to be alone." Rain pushed herself off her locker and started to walk away.
"I know what happed to you in Sunnydale." Justice spoke loudly which made Rain turned to look at her. "Youngest slayer to be called and die." Justice looked serious.
"Look, I don't know how you know that but I'm not in the mood to mess around, I have enough hell in my life." Rain scowled.
"Chill girl, I only wanted to get your attention." Justice grinned.
"Why, are you some demon sent to kill me?" Rain threw her hand in the air and shook her head. "Oh no, help me some demon dressed as a teenager is out to get me, also my boyfriend, his dad, and a friend lost their souls and are also out to get me." Rain said sarcastically, she stopped flailing her arms and looked at Justice.
"Ok, I suggest you get a shrink and I know a very good one, anyways I need you help I want you to train me." Rain raised her eyebrow.
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
"Why do you need training? What revenge do you have to seek?"
"I want to protect people."
"What happened that you would want to do that?" Rain put her hands on her hips frustrated.
"Fine, a demon almost killed Raven."
"All right, that's all you had to say. Can we start training after I get my boyfriend, his dad, and my friend's soul back?"
"Sure, I didn't think you were serious about that, but I'm not the only one my friends want to learn to." Rain sighed while dragging her hand through her hair.
"Ok, well my rule is no killing anyone I love even if they're not human." Rain walked away.
"Thanks slayer."
Rain turned back around. "Don't call me that in public." Rain turned on her heel and walked away.
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell

Hyperion
************************************************************************
Rain sat at Connor's desk she was looking at last year's school picture of her that set in a frame right next to her and him. She picked up the school picture shaking her head at what her foster mother had made her wear it was a pink shirt with purple and blue flower and a white tee.
"Hey kid what are you looking at?" Faith tapped on the door and walked in.
Rain set the frame back in its place. "Nothing, just trying to understand why I'm here." Rain sat down on Connor's bed.
"We need you that's why." Faith smiled.
"No, I mean why they brought me back?" Rain shook her head.
"They needed you and missed you also you were way to young to die." Faith sat next to her.
"That's my point I was to young to die so why bring me back to die again, to see pain, to feel pain, and have everything fall apart?" The young slayer looked down.
"Pain comes with happiness." Faith put her arm around the young girl's shoulder.
"Do you actually like the world?" Rain looked at the older slayer.
"Yes, I'm happy with my life lately and look at what I went through." Faith sighed.
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
"You're right, I'll try to see the good things in life." Rain smiled and stood.
"Speaking of good things." Faith stood with her. "Ara, you can come in now." Faith said into the hallway.
Rain stared as her mom walked in not as a spirit but as a person with beautifully tanned skin, her long curly hair fell to around her elbows, and her crystal eyes stared back at Rain. She had a long white gown on like a Greek goddess.
"Mom, how did this happen?" Rain walked up to her.
"I'm here to help with the souls." Kay and Willow walked up behind her.
"Willow, you're to help too?" Rain looked at the 3.
"Yes, Kay couldn't do it by herself, not with something-special coming." Willow rubbed the older Wicca's tummy.
"I have something to say." Buffy squeaked from behind all of them. "Guys, I'm pregnant." Rain rushed to her and loosely hugged her.
"That's wonderful." Willow beamed.
"Wes, needs you 3 slayers he wants to go find them before it gets dark and they have a chance to hurt anyone." Fred walked into Connor's room.
"Let's go, remember everything Rain because I don't want to lose you." Buffy kissed the young girl's forehead.
"Be careful baby." Ara hugged her young daughter kissing her hair.
"I will, please just get them resouled." Rain kissed her mom's tender cheek while grabbing her gray sweatshirt to match her gray sweats.
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
All of them walked down stairs where Wes waited he handed the 3 slayers daggers. "Don't use these unless you really have too." The four left out of the Hyperion setting off to save the people they loved.
Kay, Willow, and Ara sat down in a circle holding hands with Fred going around them. "Are you guys ready?" Willow asked.
"Yeah, Spike is first right?" Ara looked at the Wicca's.
"Yes, Spike is first." Kay sighed. "Let's hope this works."
Out of no where Ara and Willow were thrown across the room and Kay slid across the floor. "How dare you try to ruin my plan?" A voice boomed.
Ara pushed herself up. "Get out, your powers are no good here!" She screamed.
The 3 gathered back into a circle. The started the ritual.
While...
Faith, Rain, Buffy, and Wes had just left a club full of demons and vampires. They were headed to where they thought the 3 were hiding. "Are you all ready?" Wes cocked his gun.
"Yeah, let's go." Rain started walking down the hallway.
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
"You looking for us?" William, Angelus, and Steven popped out.
Wes tried to tranquilize them but they moved to fast. Rain ran at Angelus tackling him to the floor. He threw her off while Faith kicked William in the stomach and he grabbed her arm tossing her away from him. Steven punched Buffy and tripped her, she returned his attack with a swift kick to his stomach and knocked the wind out of him.
"Face it, no one wants you here. You're own boyfriend would rather lose his soul then be with you." Angelus smirked at Rain as she fell backwards from a kick to her stomach.
"I wouldn't be talking, you're own fiance' is working on a way to return your soul." Rain got up and charged him.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
"Come on Faith, you can do better then this." William kicked her stomach and when she bent over to grab it he kneed her in the face.
"You're going to pay for that one." Faith kicked him across the face and then tripped him he landed with a thud.
"What's wrong with you? You're slower then my girlfriend." Steven laughed as he ducked a punch from Buffy.
Buffy kneed him in the lower area and then kicked him in the chest, which made him fall backwards. "Who's slow now?" Buffy smiled and leaned over him.
Faith kicked William in the face as he came back up his eyes glowed yellow. When he looked back at Faith tears fell down his face. "Is it you Spike?"
Spike looked around and saw Steven hitting Buffy and gave it all his vampire speed using that and his muscle tackled him to the ground. He punched him in face and Steven's eyes glowed yellow.
Rain tried to kick Angelus when he grabbed her leg and threw her to the ground. She tripped him they both sat on the ground. "Little slayer you'll never win, you'll always live in the dark like me too." Angelus grabbed her and transformed bringing his fangs to her neck.
Connor looked at his Angelus who you held Rain, he pushed Spike off him jumped up and ran. He felt like everything was in slow motion. He heard Rain give a whimper as Angelus stuck his fangs into her neck. He tackled Angelus who had released Rain after he bit into her.
"What do you do?" Angelus mumbled while his head was spinning. "Did you spike yourself?" He spread out on the floor with Connor holding him down.
"You're damn right." Rain passed out.

"What did I tell you? Stop trying to ruin my plan you're not getting his soul back." The voice boomed it was obviously Cordy's.
Again Ara and Willow were thrown away from the circle knocking Ara out. "No, Ara you can't leave us!" Kay ran to her side.
Fred ran to get some ice as Connor walked in holding Rain's limp body in his hand a piece of his shirt was keeping her blood from flowing. Wes, Faith, Spike and Buffy were carrying Angelus.
"Is she all right?" Lorne ran up to Rain.
"Yes, what happened to her?" Connor looked at the slayers and Wes.
"She spiked herself with a drug. Did anyone know she even had a drug on her?" Wes was shocked.
"No, she must have got it from the bar." Buffy tried not to cry.
"It's all right luv, pet will pull through." Spike kissed Buffy's head.
"I'm pregnant." She whispered looking at everyone then back to Spike.
"That's wonderful luv, we'll share the news later." He gave her a sweet kiss then looked at Connor and Lorne who took Rain upstairs.
"Let me guess Troy can't save her because she used a drug?" Gunn said sarcastically as Troy appeared.
"No, actually because she chose to use the drug." Troy smiled. "I can't heal Ara either because in reality she's not human. I just wanted to see if I could help with anything else?" Troy looked around.
"No, we're fine." Kay still sat by Ara.
Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
"I have news actually." Troy looked away. "It's Connor's." Connor walked down the stairs.
"What's mine?" Connor looked weary.
"The baby in Cordy." Troy went away while everyone else mouth's hung open.
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
(So, is it Connor's baby or not? Will Rain survive the drug and will they be able to resoul Angel? Review to find out! Also how did Justice know about Rain?)
