Preview: Ehh. Just read. To much to put down.

"She's what?" yelled Gunn.
"Cordy!" exclaimed Anya, her eyes returning to normal. "She's dead. Angel. . ."
"It's Angelus!" corrected Gunn.
"Angelus," she said pointedly, "dropped a crate on top of Cordelia and her date. They're both dead now."
Fred timidly raised her hand. "Um, how did you know that she died?"
Anya stood up, with the help of her fiancée, and stated, "Well, I was counting money by the counter and then things got hazy and I saw Cordy and Ken smooshed with a big crate. And it looked like it hurt."
"Sounds like you're getting a vision, baby-cakes," said Lorne.
"A vision?" she asked incredulously.
"Yeah, just like the kind Cordy used to. . ." he dropped off. Tara patted his hand sympathetically.
Fred looked up. "Maybe she did a spell to pass on her visions before she died." Everyone stared at her. "It could happen," she said blushing.
Giles took off his glasses and began to clean them. "Actually, you're not that far off. If Cordelia was a Seer, as you say, she had one chance to send her gift onto another being before she died. Evidently, that being is you, Anya."
"Oh," she said nodding. "Cool!"
The Magic Box door opened and in stepped three solemn people. Wes looked up. "Cordelia's dead."
There was a beat of silence. "We know," said Xander. "Apparently, Cordy sent her visions to Ahn before she died."
"We need help with the bodies," she said pointing back behind her.
***
The following night, after some much needed rest, the Gang's went out patrolling for Buffy and Angelus; leaving Dawn and Connor at the Summers home. The two teens were watching "Harriet the Spy". Connor chuckled. "That girl kind of looks like you."
"As if," she shot back, throwing a pillow on top of him. He tossed it back to her, which she caught easily. "Um. . ." hesitated Dawn. "I was wondering, not that I'm not ungrateful that you're here! But, why are you here?"
"I just had. . .a feeling."
"And. . ." she prodded.
Connor sighed. "I had a dream about you, before I met you."
"That's really creepy," said Dawn, before throwing the pillow at him again. He threw it back at her and she ducked. They were so into their own laughter, that they didn't realize that Angelus had caught the pillow. Both stood up quickly.
"Oh, how cute," Angelus said with mock sincerity. "Sorry to interrupt, but you know how these things go."
There was a thud and Connor fell to the floor. Dawn looked up to see her sister with a crow bar from the chest. "Ooh!" she said grinning maniacally. "That's gonna leave a mark."
Dawn made a break for the door, but Angelus grabbed her arm. She twisted her arm around and kicked him below the belt. Connor was conscious enough to see this happen, but fell under when he thought she was safe.
Buffy blocked the doorway and back handed Dawn when she got there.
***
Faith and Spike walked into the Summers home to find the doorway a mess and Connor unconscious. It took them five minutes to revive him and another five to get the full story out. Spike laughed at the end. Faith smacked him on the back of the head. "It's not funny. Dawn has been kidnapped!"
Spike rubbed the sore spot on his head, "Bloody hell woman! Not the story. It's just the part of where the Bit kicked Angelus in the balls. About four years ago there was a Halloween where all the bloody kids turned into their costumes. I had the Bit in my group, a bloody good vampire if I do say so myself. I told her that if she ever met Angelus, to kick the sod where it counts. Can't believe she remembered after all these years."
Faith shook her head. "To get back on track. I'm gonna call Willow, Tara, Giles, Wes, all the magical people, and see if they can find the restoration spell. I think that's the only thing we have going for us right now."
***
All day, the entire gang researched for the restoration spell. Faith took out her impatience on the punching bag in back. By nightfall, the Slayer had had it and went back to the front of the store. "Have you found the spell yet?"
All eyes looked around nervously as Willow squeaked, "No."
She threw up her hands in frustration. "Screw this! I'll find her myself." With that she stormed out of the shop.
Faith wondered around town, letting her 'spider-sense' tingle, which led her to the factory. She entered cautiously. "Faithy!" bellowed Angelus. "I was wondering when you were going to pay me a visit!"
"Why don't you come welcome your favorite guest?" The Slayer walked in further, looking all around her.
He stepped out from the shadow's on the balcony and jumped over the railing. Arms open wide, Angelus said, "Come and give me a hug."
"Gladly."
She jumped forward and took a swing. He blocked her easily and hit her down. Faith kicked his legs out from under him. She got two good cracks in the jaw before he kicked her across the room, where she smashed into the wall. The Slayer got up in time to block his next punch. "Let's see, what could we talk about?" muttered Angelus. "Oh, yeah! Your new boy toy!"
Faith was startled enough to let him get one kick, cracking two ribs. "Come on. You didn't think I didn't know?" She punched him in the gut and the jaw, sending him staggering backwards. "His scent's pretty easy to remember. I'm just surprised you haven't given him a good roll in the sa. . ." Faith gave him a good number to the nose, causing it to bleed.
"Hey! I know what we can talk about. Where's Dawn?" Angelus gave her what was soon to be a black eye. He got a good hold on her neck and threw her into the stairwell corner.
"You know, I wish we could have finished my line of questioning first." Faith kicked him back, giving her enough time to stand up, no matter how dizzy she felt. Angelus was about to deliver a crushing blow, when a blur came by and tackled him.
Wes punched Angelus twice in the face before getting thrown off. "Who sent in the cavalry?"
While Wes distracted Angelus, Spike slipped over to Faith and made sure she was okay. Angelus, not loving the odds he was against, left the factory.
Faith looked up at Wes. "Did you find the spell yet?"
"Well you see. . ."
"I don't want to see anything. Just tell me 'yes' or 'no'."
"Yes, but we don't have a witch to do it."
"Can't Willow just do it?"
Spike down at her. "Here in lies our problem."
