Hey. By the way, this is set after Double Meat Palace, so yes, Buffy is still on/off with Spike.

Okkkkkk, all...or at least, most, of the mysteries will be revealed in this chappie.

PLEASE more reviews...or I'll have to stop writing this story...lets say, 15 at least before I carry on after this!!!

When you review, can you tell me whether you want long chapters, or lots of short chapters or what!

THANX *^_^*

R+R!

Summary: The two most unlikely people are back in Sunnydale and have a big surprise for the scoobie gang. What will Buffy do when one the unlikely's tries to get Spike back into there life? Will the on/off relationship get destroyed between Spike and Buffy?

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these people...all belong to Joss Whendon...o god, is that how you spell it!

Chapter 2

Oh my god, I'm in hell!

Tara's eyes widened as Glory advanced towards her, smirking horribly.

'Hey sweetie, nice to see your little girlfriend got your memory back for you.' Glory leered at her.

The remark about girlfriend stung a little.

'I...' Tara choked on her words, then tried again, 'I'm not with Willow anymore.'

She tried to stare defiantly at the blonde goddess before her, but the sight of Glory's blood red nails, more like claws, was enough to stop her.

She remembered, though she tried to forget, what those nails could do to her. They could probe her mind, leaving all that was left completely useless.

If she had been looking, she'd have seen the dark haired women behind Glory nod slightly, and seen Glory's fingers reach toward her. As it was, she only saw those nails when it was too late. For the second time, Glory shoved her fingers into Tara's head, and searched her mind for the information she wanted.

'She's here!' Glory's eyes fluttered slightly below their closed lids, 'and so is he...but, oh! You are not going to like this Dru!'

Glory withdrew her hand, and looked at her companion with wild excitement in her eyes.

'Let's go!' The dark haired girl nodded in agreement, and they left the clearing.

'Spike?' Buffy's voice wavered.

But there was no reply.

Buffy walked forwards slowly, her eyes fixed upon the mound of rubble that had appeared in Spike's crypt.

The mound of rubble that had cascaded from the wall she had flung Spike against.

Buffy screamed

'SPIKE!'

Willow felt a jolt as Tara fell from Glory's grip.

She doubled over in shock, and tried desperately to remember when she'd had this feeling before.

The withdrawal from magic was addling her memory, and she couldn't quite place her finger on the previous time, or times, she had felt like this before.

But one word filtered through the fog that was her memory. Tara.

Willow screamed, 'TARA!'

Dawn ran into the bedroom and knelt beside Willow.

'What is it Will?' she pushed Willows hair back from her face, 'What about Tara?'

'Dawnie...' Willow gasped, 'Tara...Glory...losing her memory...Glory...TARA!'

Dawn called for Buffy.

'She's...out' Willow whispered hoarsely. 'Dawn...get Tara ...park ... trees ...hidden'

Dawn stood and ran to the door, and with one last fleeting gasp at the recovering Willow, ran out of the house and towards the park.

Buffy threw herself at the pile of rocks and bricks, scrabbling madly.

'I'm sorry...so sorry...I never meant...oh Spike! Where are you?' she rambled.

Finally she made a small opening, and caught a flash of bleached blond hair against the grey of the rubble.

Buffy gasped and resumed her frantic digging.

Tara lay there for what felt to her like hours. When she had gathered enough strength, she lifted her head, and managed to, ever so slowly, sit up.

She was in the park, shrouded from view (A/N: does that make sense?) by a bunch of trees.

Then the realization hit her. Glory was back. And she'd been here, with someone else, someone tall, dark haired and softly spoken...and they were looking for two people.

But who?

Then she realized something else. Glory had done the mind thing again...but she could remember everything. Last time, she'd been an empty shell for months. But this time she could remember. She remembered the Scoobies, Spike, Buffy, Xander and Anya. She remembered that she was a bridesmaid for Xander and Anya's wedding.

And she remembered Willow.

Dawn jogged through the park, searching every remote place she could think of. Willow had been sure that Tara was somewhere in the park. Hurt.

She was starting to lose her breath, and a stitch was biting into her side.

She had to stop.

'TARAAAAAAAAAAA' she screamed, before collapsing onto the soft grass, breathing heavily.

To be continued...

Okkkkkkkk. So not ALL the mysteries were revealed...like who Glory's with...though you should have guessed by now!!!

...and why Glory is there...

...AND who they're looking for...
