A/N: Yeah this is the continuation of the previous chapter. I hope you guys enjoy reading it. And I'll still be using some quotes from the original episode Halloween.

Cordelia hated the silence, well the lack of words, because the only sounds that were heard where that of gun shots and the furniture being placed in front of the door. She wished Xander would tell at least some lame joke, but since he wasn't exactly himself he didn't.

Xander stopped arranging the furniture in front of the door. He hoped that it would be enough to stop demons from breaking into the house. Pausing for a moment, he looked down on the floor and spotted a picture frame that some how must have ended down there with all the moving of furniture. He picked it up and looked at the three people in it. He was in the picture along with Willow, and that blonde girl, Buffy.

"Wow. She must be right I must have some kind of amnesia." Xander said as he stared at the picture.

"Duh, on that one." Cordelia said.

He looked at the picture for another second and then sprang back into soldier mode. "Check upstairs to make sure everything is locked."

Cordelia rolled her eyes but went upstairs to do as he had instructed. Suddenly someone came in through the back door. It was Angel. "Oh good, you guys are alright. It's total chaos out there."

Angel then realized only Xander was there. He wondered where Buffy and Willow where. Maybe they're upstairs he thought.

" Who are you? Do you live here?" Xander asked.

"I don't live here, you know that." Angel responded, confusion written across his features. Suddenly he got the impression that something was not right. The look that Xander was giving him didn't help. Xander stared at Angel like he had never even seen him before.

Cordelia appeared behind Angel and explained, " He doesn't know who he is. Everybody's turned into monsters. It's a whole big thing. How are you?"

"Where's Buffy? And Willow?" "Buffy I don't know. She wasn't here when I got came. But, Willow went to get help." Cordelia informed him.

"Buffy, oh that girl dressed like a biker. Willow and I found her, but she left. She didn't know who Willow was or me." Xander said.

Angel started to worry. She was alone out there in a town that was currently overrun by demons. She didn't even remember she was the Slayer. She wouldn't be able to defend herself, she'd be done for. Angel couldn't stand that thought. He had to find her and protect her.

"I have to find her," Angel stated, turning to leave.

"Wait," Cordelia cried.

Suddenly a demon entered the living room,, it had entered though the kitchen door which was not protected by anything. It started attacking Angel. Angel then started punching and kicking the demon. The demon threw Angel into the wall. Angel recovered quickly before it could head for Cordelia. He lunged for the demon, bringing it down on to the floor.

"Don't kill him, it might be a kid," Xander shouted.

Angel threw the demon out of the house. The demon stood up and took off into the street. Angel then turned his attention back to Xander and Cordelia, who were standing by the door.

"Can I go with you?" Cordelia asked, her voice as sweet as honey.

"No, it's too dangerous," he replied.

"Like it's safe here? That demon thing just came in we could have been killed," Cordelia said.

Angel was silent for a moment. "We can help find that Buffy person you're looking for, besides like the army says there is no I in team." Xander said helpfully.

"Fine, let's go we can't waste any more time," Angel said, he motioned for them to follow him . They trailed behind him.

In the library, Giles was looking through the card catalog, when someone walked in through the wall. Giles dropped his cards and stared flabbergasted at the apparition in front of him. It was Willow, and she had just walked through a wall.

"Hey," she smiled at him. She noticed that she had obviously scared him.

She quickly explained what was happening all over town. Giles frowned in concentration and said, " Let's review what happened. All the people in costumes transformed into whatever they were wearing is that right?"

Willow nodded and then said, " Xander was a soldier and uh Buffy was a biker."

"And what are you exactly?"

"I'm a ghost,"

"A ghost?" Giles stared at her.

"This is nothing you should see, Cordelia she's a wearing a leotard and uh, cat things." Willlow said. She didn't dare mention anything about Buffy, she knew her best friend would try to kill her if she had told Giles what exactly she was wearing.

"Are you saying she turned into an actual feline?"

"No, she didn't change. She was the same old Cordelia. Wait a minute, Cordelia said she got her costume at Party Town."

"And where did you get yours?"

"We all got our costumes at the new place. Ethan's."

Giles decided that it would be best to go to the store and find out why everybody who bought costumes from there turned into them. They arrived at the store ten minutes later. They had seen various demon turned kids along the way. There was nothing they could do for them until they find out how to stop this.

Giles opened the shop door, and entered. The room was devoid of any light except some light coming off from the back of the store. Giles walked further into the room, Willow closely followed him. The light source was some candles. There was also a bust of someone.

Giles recognized it and said more to himself than to Willow, " Janus. Roman mythical god."

"What does this mean?" Willow asked, staring at it.

"Primarily the division of self. Male and female, light and dark."

From the back another British voice said, "Chunky and creamy. Oh, no, sorry that's peanut butter.

The shop keeper stared at Giles, a smile spreading across his face. It wasn't a pleasant one, it was more of a leering smile.

"Go home Willow," Giles instructed.

"But," Willow protested.

"Go home," he said in a more demanding tone.

Willow rushed out of the shop, leaving the two British men alone.

"Hello, Ethan."

"Hello, Ripper."

The shop keeper stopped smiling and then spoke, "What? No, hug? Aren't you pleased to see your old mate, Rupert?"

"I'm just surprised, I didn't guess it was you. This Halloween stunt stinks of Ethan Rayne."

Ethan just smiled at the other man's words. With a proud grin he said, " Yes, it does, doesn't it? Don't wish to blow my own trumpet, but it's genius. The very embodiment of be careful what you wish for.

"It's sick, brutal, and it harms the innocent." His voice showing the disgust he felt for what Ethan had done.

"Oh, and we all know that you are the champion of innocents and all things pure and good, Rupert. It's quite a little act you've got going here, old man."

"It's no act. It's who I am."

"Who you are? The Watcher, sniveling, tweed-clad guardian of the Slayer and her kin? I think not. I know who you are, Rupert, and I know what you're capable of. But they don't, do they? They have no idea where you come from," his voice low and insinuating.

"Break the spell Ethan. Then leave this town and never come back."

"Why should I? What's in the bargain for me."

Giles approached him replied in a calm and firm voice, "You get to live."

Ethan laughed, "Ooh I'm so scared what are you going to do?"

Ethan stopped laughing as soon as he felt a punch to his gut. He crumpled to the ground. Giles continued beating him. Mean while in the streets of Sunnydale Angel, Cordelia, and Xander were still in the search for Buffy. They had searched as best as they could even going in to the Bronze, but she hadn't been there. Angel was sick with worry, his eyes darted around trying to find anything that would give a clue to where she might be. They walked pass an endless array of houses, demons still continued to run around the streets. Some tried attacking them, but soon left running due to in part of Xander's gun.

Her hair was being blown away from her face. The cool night air felt good against her face. The roar of the engine was a marvelous sound to her. There was nothing like this. She was just happy, to be riding on a bike who's owner happened to be a total hottie. They hadn't really talk much during the whole ride, just a couple of words. They stayed silent just enjoying the ride. She closed her eyes for a second enjoying the moment.

Suddenly, she felt the ride come to an end. She opened her eyes and noticed they were in an alley and various creatures were surrounding them. They looked human enough, except for their faces. Their eyes glowed a yellow color, feral growls escaped their throats, and their foreheads were bumpy.

"Look's like we got trouble and to think the Halloween is supposed to be a quiet night." Spike shook his head in mock annoyance. Truth is he was itching for a good fight He told Buffy to get off, she complied. He swung his leg over his bike and got off.

He immediately sprang into a fighting stance. A vampire lunged towards him. Spike moved out of the way shoving the vamp into the ground. The next vamp came from behind grabbing onto his neck. Before he could take care of that one another kicked him in the gut.

"A little help 'ere Slayer," Spike said as he struggled with the vampires. He managed to dislodge the vamp that had been clinging from his neck.

Buffy was backing into the wall away from the remaining vampires, who were coming towards her.

Spike didn't notice what she was doing, he was really busy with the vamps that were attacking him. He ducked as two vamps tried to double team him, they ended up colliding. He took out a stake from his coat and dusted one that was coming for him. He felt a kick to his head and dropped onto the ground. He lay there only for a couple of seconds, rolling away from an incoming kick. He tripped the vamp and got up quickly to impale the stake into his heart. He quickly took care of the remaining two vamps that had been attacking him.

There were only three vamps left and they were headed for Buffy. Her back was against the wall now, she stared at them unable to do anything else. The vampires approaching her grinned. A big one laughed and said, " I thought it was going to be harder to kill the Slayer."

Spike stared at the Slayer. Why isn't she doing anything to stop them? He thought. The vamps were just seconds away from grabbing her.

Buffy looked down on the ground and saw a couple of empty glass and plastic bottles. She bent down just as one of the vampires jumped towards her. She grabbed a bottle, but the vamp pinned hero the wall. With the bottle in her hand he brought it down onto his face causing him to back away from her. He yelped in pain, as the broken shards made contact with his face.

The other two vamps made a move for her, once they saw that their companion was temporarily distracted. Buffy started to run away, but she bumped into Spike.

"Why aren't you fighting 'em? What in bleedin' hell is wrong with you?" Spike said, as the Slayer took refuge behind him.

"I can't fight them their too tough. Look at that thing, the bottle didn't even do much good," she said, the said vamp was already making his way towards them, licking his wounds.

Spike didn't even wait for one of the vamps to start attacking, he brought one down by a kick to his face. He staked him as the vamp fell. The other two scrambled away. "Wait a minute, we're not done 'ere," Spike yelled after them.

"Oh, no we failed our mistress isn't going to be pleased," one of the vamps muttered as they ran.

"Mistress?" Buffy repeated. She didn't know who she was but it was obvious that that person wanted her dead.

"What's wrong with you? You're the Slayer. Your job is to slay those vamps. Obviously, good ol' dad isn't trainin' you right."

"My job doesn't have anything to do with whatever those things were. I work at a burger joint. Flippin' burgers not slaying anything," she looked at him like he was crazy.

"Flippin' burgers?" Spike chuckled at that.

"Look, where I work isn't important to you. I don't even know you, so why do you even care what I do in my life? All I know is that you saved my life and I don't know how I can thank you." She walked closer to him and a smile came to her lips. "Or maybe I do know how to thank you," she said coyly.

Before he could say anything else Buffy's lips met his. He stood there stunned, as Buffy assaulted his mouth with hers. It took him a couple of seconds and then he reacted by kissing her back.

She continued kissing him pushing him into the wall. She wrapped his arms around his neck, as the kiss grew deeper. They pulled away for a second to regain their breath, but soon their mouths found each other.

Giles cleaned his glasses as he stared at the beaten form of Ethan Rayne. His face had blood trickling down his cheek. Bruises were everyone on his frame. Ethan tried to brush away the blood from his cheek, but his arm hurt at the sudden movement.

Giles cleared his throat and said, "Tell me how to break the spell."

The man didn't say anything for a moment. He knew he was defeated, he had no choice but to tell him. "The statue. Break the statue."

Giles took the statue from the counter and brought it over his head. He then hurled it down onto the floor. It smashed into tiny shards.

Willow found Angel, Cordelia, and Xander at the moment. She stared at her hands and exclaimed, " Look I'm me again. I'm no longer a ghost."

"Wow, what happened? I'm me! It was way creepy. It was like I was there, but I couldn't get out," Xander said, as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Yeah, I know the feeling. This outfit is totally skin-tight." Cordelia said, as demonstrated pulling some of the material away from her arm. She couldn't only a little.

"We still haven't found Buffy," Angel pointed out, ready to resume their search.

"I'm sure she's fine. She's back to being the Slayer now." Cordelia reassured him.

Angel didn't look convinced until he found her he would be sure. Willow wasn't sure what to think. She was probably after all she was with Spike all this time right? Unless he dropped her off somewhere.

"Well, maybe she's fine. She's with Spike." Willow informed that they were riding on a motorcycle.

In the alley, Buffy and Spike were still kissing. Buffy pulled away from him, stunned. "Oh, my God," she whispered to herself. She had regained her memory, she couldn't believe she had been kissing Spike.

Spike stared at her, it seemed that now she had regained a certain awareness that he hadn't seen in her before.

"I can't believe it, I was acting like myself. I wasn't me I was some biker girl." Buffy said more to herself than to him.

"A spell," Spike stated. He hated that the kissing had stopped. It had been amazing. Her lips were so delicious.

"I have to go home and uh find my friends," she said as she tried to leave. He offered her a ride, she declined and left him alone in the alley. She couldn't believe she had kissed him. It had been incredible. He was such a good kisser.

She found her friends twenty minutes later. They talked for a few minutes and parted ways. Angel wanted to walk her home, she didn't feel like talking to him, so she told him it was fine that she could walk home by herself. She walked home fast.

The next day Giles entered the shop. He did not find Ethan anywhere instead he found a card that read, "Be seeing you."
