A/N Hey Guys thanks for all the reviews. It really does help me write.
Spikealicious as always thanks for being a wonderful beta.
"No this can't be happening!" Buffy repeated over and over as she rolled her body up in a ball. She had taken all she could take.
"Buffy please luv," Spike pleaded with her. It reminded him of what had happened to her when Glory took Dawn. He prayed that she hadn't gone that far inside herself.
He sat down and pulled her too him. Unlike last year when she had believed she had killed the girl in the Woods. She knew that this couldn't be a trick by the trio. She had been so angry and filled with hatred when she hit Wood.
"I killed him," Buffy whispered. Spike pulled away and looked her in the eye.
"Buffy you have to listen to me. It was an accident," Spike said reassuringly.
"I wanted him dead; he was going to dust you," Buffy stuttered.
"Look we have to get you out here. I'll take care of it," Spike said calmly as he picked her up by her shoulders.
"I'm sorry Spike, I hope you know that I all I care about is you. I just want you to be able to fight so I won't lose you," she said tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
"It's ok. Let's get you home," Spike said as he kissed away her tears
"No, I'm going to help you," she said with conviction, going over to the body.
"Buffy, no!" but he was cut off.
"I'm not letting you do this on your own, so let's get rid of this," she said looking down. Spike could see he wasn't going to win this argument. He also knew that they needed to make the body disappear. He just nodded.
Wesley drove quickly past the Welcome to Sunnydale sign. It wouldn't be long before they would see the old gang again.
"You know," Wesley mused, "just think about what all has happened to us since we left.
I wonder what has been going on here at the Hellmouth," Cordy said with curiosity.
"I am sure we have missed quiet a lot," Wesley said. Cordy began laughing.
"What?" he asked raising his eyebrows?
"They aren't going to recognize you," she said in between giggles.
"Why not?" Connor asked.
Oh, it's just Wesley used to be so stuffy and British. He wore nice suits and always followed the rules," Cordy explained.
"You?" Connor said incredulously.
"People do change," was Wesley's only reply.
"Where are they?" Dawn asked nervously. She was so worried about her sister and Spike. They had been gone for hours.
"They're probably somewhere having make-up sex," Anya said casually.
"If they are, I'm going to kill them for making me worry about them," Dawn said with a pout.
"Anya, we really didn't need to hear that," Xander said, disgusted.
"Get over it Harris! Buffy and Spike are a couple, whether you like it or not," Anya said angrily.
"May I point out, we have a lot more to worry about," Giles exclaimed.
Right at that moment there was a knock on the door. Willow went to answer it and was shocked to find Cordy and Wesley and a young teenage boy with them.
"Hi long time no see," Cordy said, trying to sound cheerful.
"Hey um, yeah come in," Willow said, moving away from the door to let them in.
"Hi," Dawn said to Connor, " I'm Dawn."
"Hi, I'm Connor," Connor said, trying to smile at the pretty girl.
"Rupert, "Wesley said, nodding toward the older Englishmen.
"Wesley," Giles said, standing up and extending his hand to the younger man, "it's been a long time. I'm guessing you haven't all come here on holiday."
"Don't we wish?" Cordy said looking around the room, wondering who all these young girls were?
"Where's Buffy?" Wesley asked.
"She's out with Spike," Willow answered.
"Spike, as in the vampire? Slayer of Slayers?" Wesley asked, looking confused.
"Really. Long. Story," Willow said with a sigh.
"So what brings all of you here? Does it have to do with the First?" Anya asked.
"Angelus is on the loose and we need help to stop him," Cordy said bluntly.
"We were hoping that Willow could return his soul," Wesley said.
"How could you let this happen?" Giles said outraged.
"I really don't think I want to know how dead boy lost his soul again," Xander said sarcastically.
"We had no choice. Angelus had to be resurrected because of the beast," Cordy exclaimed.
"Who is Angelus?" Molly asked, as all the other potentials clamored for the answer as well.
Cordy went on to explain everything that had happened.
A/N Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to review! It will make me update faster.
Thanks
