"So is it set?" Wesley asked the group of watchers, who were stationed around the grounds of the Tower of London.

"Yes sir, it is ready sir." One of the men answered.

"Good, good." There was a pause for a half of a second and then, "When is the transfer of information scheduled to occur?"

"At midnight sir, in four hours."

"Is everything going according to plan?" Wesley asked cautiously.

"Yes sir it is." The man said.

Then Wesley's cell phone rang. "Wesley here." Pause for a second, and then, "I see, well that changes everything."

Everyone looked expectantly at Wesley waiting for him to tell the news. "It seems that the first part of the prophecy has been completed. The vampire has joined forces with the slayer, and they plan to fight against us."

Wesley glanced around at the men standing all around him, "Gentlemen the plans have changed, kill the Slayer and her demon lover. Before the prophecy is fulfilled."

Buffy and Spike had been sleeping in order to kill time until they had to get to the Tower. It was gorgeous outside, the sun was just setting and the world seemed to glow with its fading light. Neither one of them seem to be able to focus or really comprehend its beauty though. A heavy stillness and anticipation hung in the air that seemed to couple with foreboding and loss.

Buffy turned her face away from the sun's dying glow that she had woken up to, to look up at her love. "Spike, I think something is wrong."

"What do you think has gone wrong Slayer? Everything is going as planned." Spike asked her gently knowing that she had had one of her slayer dreams.

"Are you sure Dia can be trusted?" The question stunned Spike slightly.

"Of course I am, luv. Dia was the one thing that keep me alive and safe before me and Dru came to Sunnydale. She protected us and I know she'll protect us both. I know that, so why are you asking that?" Buffy sighed deeply, then turned around completely to talk to him.

'Here comes the part I hated with Dru and love with Buffy.'

"Why shouldn't I ask Spike? I don't know her, she pretend to be one of your minions. She was being all nice to me and all that shit. Why should I trust her? For all we know she might be working for the council." Buffy anger was coming off her in jets. "Maybe instead of scaring them, we really should kill them. With all the risks we're taking, we can't afford to leave behind witnesses."

All Spike could do was smile though, "Baby I love it when you fight with me. I'm really loving your dark side too that you've shown of the last few days."

"So you agree to my plan?" Buffy asked coyly while batting her eye lashes at Spike.

"Of course Slayer, of course." Spike said while trying to sound reluctant. That won him a punch in the arm from Buffy. "And I gotta say baby, I love the way you think. You know how to stroke the fire."

Buffy gave him a sly grin, "No babe, only you know how to do that, and not get burned." Their eyes fill with lust as their lips met.

Spike broke it a short time later. "Buffy, you never answered my question."

Buffy paused for a moment, still disappointed that he had broke off the kiss. But on seeing that she wasn't going to get any more kisses, she reluctantly began to tell him.

" Spike, earlier today I had a dream… Dia was in it. the Council knew about us and was plotting our deaths.."

"So what happened that would cause you to think that she would be helping the council to plot our untimely demise? She was probably helping us out"

"In the dream Spike, She was the one who put the stake through your heart."
