Chapter 2- The Spell

Gunn was pacing the floor, burning off nervous energy. Wesley was sitting on the couch one eye on the book he was researching and the other on the monitor. Fred was at the counter also researching, Connor was out again, and Cordy had gone upstairs, No one had a clue what she was doing. Fred sighed, "Another useless book" she said and placed it on the ever growing pile. She looked up at Gunn who as still pacing. "Gunn try to calm down" she said softly. "That ain't gonna happen" he said. "I mean how can a soul just go missing?!". "Gunn we've been over this question" Wesley said with a sigh. He was very tired and after their little fight he was inching onto his last nerve. Gunn obviously didn't feel like fighting either so he just gave Wes a cold stare and sat down. "So are we sure that the shaman didn't know anything?" Fred said trying to break the horrible silence. "Yes" Wesley said "And he was very clear about it". Fred sighed and opened another book.

Cordy was in Angel's room. She looked around the dark shadows that it cast. Everything was so familiar. She ran her hand over the cool metal and sat down on the bed. A tear slipped down her cheek and she layed down and cried silently.

About an hour later Fred let out a little cry. "I think I found something" she said. She handed the book over, avoiding Gunn's jealous stare, and Wesley looked at it. "Indeed" he said "It seems there is a spell that will find the soul and restore it".

The four of them were congregated near the entrance to the basement. "You ready?" Wesley asked. They nodded. Gunn held the tranq gun, Fred was holding the ingredients, and Wesley held the book.

Cordy was the first to walk down, followed shortly by Gunn, Wes, and Fred. Angelus stepped out of the shadows when he heard their footsteps. "Gangs all here.." he said maliciously. Fred stood at the front and sprinkled black dust in front of the cage. Angelus eyed Fred, "Ready for another go?" he asked seductively. Fred didn't look up but Gunn raised his weapon. "So you think you can bring your champion back?" He smirked at them all. "Doubt it" he laughed. Fred stepped back and Wesley began to recite the spell. After Wesley had finished everyone waited. Angelus broke the silence "Told you" he said with a laugh.

"Look" Cordy whispered and everyone looked down at the dust. It was turning gold. It shone so brightly that they were almost blinded. Then the gold went dark and a blue flash hit at Angelus. He let out a little yelp and crumbled to the floor.

At that same moment a black cloud swept through the Summer's basement and hit Spike straight in the chest, leaving him unconscious.
