Chapter Title: Surprise!
Summary: Tara gets some more advice from Lorne and the Magic Box gets a few surprise visitors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"W-What do you think that I s-should expect?" asked Tara. She was with Lorne at the mansion in his room.
"Well, you're headaches will get worse, I suggest drinking hot water and cloves with cyan pepper."
"Cyan pepper?"
"It numbs your head. My mom used to do it for me." Tara nodded as she looked at her hands. They were turning bluer by the day. It was a good thing that she hadn't seen any of the gang since the Bronze night, they would know something was wrong with her being blue. "And you might get this strange power thing. I inherited singing and reading people. Works out great. My Uncle Jem could bend into these impossible shapes. He joined some FBI like agency in a different dimension because of it. Tara. . ." He noticed that she shifted at this. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing. It's silly." Lorne looked at her. "It's just. . .why do you keep calling me Tara. I-I know that it's my name a-and all, but at the Bronze, you called me Strudel. I-I kind of liked it."
"Well, Strudel it is baby-face." Tara smiled. "Are you ready to tell them?" She nodded and they headed to the Magic Box hand in hand.

"No, I swear we looked at that one already," Anya told Xander. They - being Giles, Wesley, Fred, Gunn, Cordelia, Dawn, Willow, Anya, and Xander while Spike sat in the corner being bored - were looking through books for information on the new Key prophecy.
"No, this is volume 2. You're thinking of volume 1," Xander replied, waving the book in front of his girlfriend.
"Listen Mr. Thinks-He-Knows..." Anya began. She was cut off by a cheery voice.
"Hey guys! What ya up to?" Buffy said walking into the Magic shop.
"You seem unusually perky tonight," Willow said with a mischievous grin. "Watcha been doing? I haven't seen you since last night." Buffy shifted uncomfortably.
"Oh, a late patrol," she said. "I was tired and I didn't want to wake you guys. So, anything new on the Key prophecy?"
"Nadda," said Xander. He was interrupted by the bell jingling and Angel coming in.
Wesley looked up from her book. "Angel. Where were you last night?"
He waved in his hand. "Oh, there was a demon that went down to the sewers. Tracked it. Killed it. And had to change." He looked around. "Is everyone here?"
Fred grinned with pride. "Oh, well, Gunn's looking at the 'toys' as he calls them, in the back and we're not sure where Lorne is."
Willow sighed loudly. "Don't you hate it when prophesies are always mentioned once, but never mentioned again. Anywhere."
"That does seem to be a problem. That's why I go to Xander," supplied Anya. "We sometimes play this game during stressful times, where. . . "
"Ahn. Please stop," begged Xander.
"Are you sure that the books have been thoroughly updated?" asked Giles. Anya excitedly got up and ran to the cash register to count money, her second favorite thing to do during stressful times.
"So, what's going on here?" Angel asked, looking at the massive piles of books.
"Giles found a prophesy with the Key in it and we're looking for some more info," Willow chirped.
"Oh," he nodded.
"Buffy, I was wondering if you could go on patrol tonight," Giles asked. "Gunn went to a pub and heard something about a new demon in town. It seems to be causing a bit of a ruckus. Perhaps you could ask around."
"Sure, I'd love to," Buffy said.
"You might want to take one of these," Gunn said returning from the back room and tossing a cross to Buffy. "In case you get into to much trouble." The cross clattered to the floor and Buffy flinched away from it. Spike, who had been standing quietly in a corner, took a step towards her.
"I'll be okay. I mean, when was the last time I used one of thos. . ." Her sentence had been cut off by Spike punching Buffy square in the jaw. When Buffy faced him, she had lost control and her vampire face had emerged. Everyone in the room either gasped or screamed except for Spike. He smirked.
"I knew there was something not right about you," he said laughing. "You're a bloody vampire."
Dawn took a step forward, being stopped by Spike's hand on her shoulder. "Buffy? Is that you?"
The vampiress laughed. "Oh, yeah Dawnie. It's me. Just overly powerful and could take down all your as. . ."
Her sentence was cut off by the door opening with Tara and Lorne entering holding hands and laughing. Everyone could see Buffy lick her teeth and then she lunged for the couple. She was stopped by Angel shoving her into bookcases. She laughed again. "Fine. You wanted me to leave, you should've just asked." Buffy headed for the door. "Oh, and I'll see you later." The door closed leaving a stunned silence over the two gangs.
"Wow," was all Gunn could mutter. That was the only sound for a few minutes.
"What the frilly heck was that kiddies?" asked Lorne.
"Apparently, Buffy has become a vampire," answered Wesley.
"Thank you Captain Obvious," said Xander distastefully.
Anya remarked, "Well, maybe there's a spell. To turn her back. Willow? Giles? Tara? Wesley? There's a spell for everything. I mean, I even found one that will remove unwanted hair from warts."
"We'll most certainly look Anya, but I doubt that there is such a spell," said Giles taking off his glasses and cleaning them. It was followed by more silence.
"Um, guys," said Fred timidly. "Wouldn't she be super strong girl?"
Everyone looked at her in confusion. Willow's eyes opened wide in realization. "Oh! You mean that, since she's the Slayer and adding vampire power on top of that. Oh. That is kind of bad. Wow." Silence.
Something about Angel caused Tara to look at him. Something was off. Not quite right. She began to look harder for her answer. It was as if Tara had actually gone into Angel's mind. Tara grasped the counter to keep from falling. She saw images of him and Buffy together in an interesting position, Angel vamping out and biting Buffy, and a man saying some language causing great pain in Angel.
Then she concentrated on his aura. The other night, it had been a little bit black with gold covering the top of it, like it was sealing the darkness, and a thin redness humming around that. Now, it was completely black with red swirls in and around it. Something definitely wasn't right.
"Well," said Giles placing his glasses back on finally, "we do have Angel to help bring her down and now Spike can. . ."
"Hey, who said that I would," he mentioned. Everyone looked at him oddly. "My bloody first intention is to get out of this town ASAP."
"Why?" asked Dawn shakily.
"This kind of bloody thing happened about eighty, ninety years ago in Venice. That Slayer took over all of the vampire hordes in that bloody town."
"I remember reading about that," commented Wesley. "Though it was never written how she was vanquished, just that her demonic circles broke up."
"Oh, well. She got piss drunk one night and stayed out to bloody long," Spike answered shrugging, having the sudden urge for a fag.
Tara took a step forward towards the older vampire. "You're not Angel." All heads turned to her. Usually when Tara had full attention, she got nervous and began to stutter, but at that moment, she didn't notice anyone except the monster in front of her. "Who are you?"
"I'm Angel."
"Don't give me that crap!" yelled Tara. "Who are you?" He grinned and tried to lunge at her. "Fubzi Feitn!" she exclaimed holding her hand in front of her and Lorne. A gel like wall surrounded the both of them, keeping the vampire out.
"Oh, shoulda seen that one coming," he said grinning. He turned around to face the table. "That's right ladies and gentlemen. Angelus is back. And it's about time to see some fun in this town with my girlfriend. Toodles." Before leaving he fake lunged at the pair by the counter. Lorne flinched a little bit, but Tara didn't move. Angelus blew her a good-bye kiss.
After he had left, Anya mentioned. "Is anyone else in complete and total shock." A majority of the group raised their hands.
"Hey, Glinda. How'd you know that Peaches wasn't the poof?"
She grinned slightly at his choice of words and sat down in the nearest chair. Now, she was nervous. Lorne placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, which relieved her a bit. "I-I, um. . ." Before any explanations could be made the Magic Box bell rang once more.
Xander jumped up grabbing a cross from the shelf. "Back demon! Back!"
The male grinned. "You know that would work if I were a vampire," he said in his monotone voice. Willow stood up from the table.
"Oz?"
