The Soulmatchers
Chapter 3. Cassie & Orion
From across the room, the female Scoobies were watching in open mouthed astonishment.
"What a ho." Dawn muttered jealously.
"Dawnie!" Willow admonished. "You don't know that."
"I'm going to get Xander, his eyes are glazing over and he's starting to drool. He normally only does that when I do a lap dance for him." Anya stood up and made her way to the bar.
"I didn't want to hear that." Dawn said with a look of disgust on her face.
"Neither did I." Willow said.

"Xander, where are our drinks?" Anya demanded.
"What?" Xander was still staring at Spike and Cassie.
Anya rolled her eyes and dragged him back to the table where he was bombarded with questions from Dawn.
"So, who is she and why is she hugging Spike?"
"She's called Cassie. Anya didn't give me a chance to find out anything else." Xander was still staring at the two vamps who had moved to a more secluded table and were sitting with their heads close together.
Buffy was quiet, trying to make sense of what she was feeling. It couldn't be jealousy could it? That would imply that she felt something for Spike.

At Spikes table he was listening to Cassie talk.
"I need your help, Spike. I'm calling in my debt."
"You know we'd never've got out of Prague without you and Orion, Cassie. Whatever you want, you've got it."
"I heard you and Dru split up."
"Left me for a Chaos demon."
"Spike, you know what I am. It wasn't meant to be for you and Dru, it was foreseen."
"Still hurt though." His reply was sulky.
"I know." She placed her hand over his.
"What're you doing here Cassie? And where's Orion?"
"Orion's why I'm here. He's been taken."
"What?"
"He left me six months ago. He knew his soulmate was here in Sunnydale and he wanted to meet her and claim her. It's time for us, Spike. My soulmate has been in LA for five years now but Orion and I are bonded. I couldn't go until he was settled."
"You say he's been taken? Where?"
"I don't know, I can't find him. There are powerful wards round him which I can't get through. I heard you know some powerful witches."
"Two, but one's on the wagon at the moment."
"I need help, Spike." There were tears in Cassie's eyes.
"You got it. Come on, I want you to meet a group known as the Scoobies." He stood up.
"As in Scooby Doo?" Cassie gave a watery smile as she took the hand he held out to help her to her feet.
"There's something you should know, Cassie. There's a slayer here."
"I know that Spike, she's your soulmate."
A/N Who is Orion's soulmate? Who is Cassies? More to come.
