Chapter 30
Giles's home - Wednesday 10:00 pm
Elizabeth had gone out early. Spike and Andrew decided to go and investigate the property around McKenna manor.
Faith and Wesley arrived sooner than they had expected, and were happy to finally be in a familiar setting. They walked into the house and went directly to the library. Willow was the first to look up from the stack of books.
"They're back!" she ran to them both and greeted them with a hug. When she moved to Wesley he winced and grabbed his side. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you hurt?"
"Yes. Its quite all right Willow." He said as he sat down in the chair Giles had pulled out for him.
"What happened." Asked Xander.
"We found the spear." Said Faith.
"That's wonderful." Exclaimed Giles.
"Well, there is a problem." Added Wesley. The group looked at him, "There was a fight. I only managed to get a fragment of the spear before the witch teleported."
"She stabbed Wesley with it and now his wound will not heal."
"Good lord." Was all Giles could muster as he leaned back into his chair.
"Are you in pain?" asked Willow.
"Just a bit. It burns sometimes, that's when it gets quite unbearable."
"We think that it has something to do with the spear. Which by the way is more of an arrowhead." Faith took out the fragment from her purse and placed it onto the table. Giles reached over and took it into his hands to examine it.
"You are most probably correct. This is a mystical object after all." Giles held the fragment in his hands as Elizabeth came in.
"Faith, Wesley!" she walked to her cousin and her sire who had been sitting with his back to the door. She looked at Wesley and knelt down and put her hand on his knee. In the time they had been apart, she had sensed something was not right with him, and now that he was here she knew it to be correct.
"What's wrong?" he took her hand and kissed it.
"I've been wounded. I'll be fine Buffy." He patted her shoulder to give her reassurance and smiled at her. Elizabeth rose to her feet and walked to Faith.
"Its wonderful to be back." Faith held Elizabeth's hands and turned to the group, "Now tell us what we have missed." Willow and Elizabeth set upon to inform them as to what had transpired while they had been gone as Giles left the room to make tea.
"Well, it seems as though we weren't the only ones to see action. I'm so glad you two are all right." Said Faith.
"Indeed. Buffy, where is this man who rescued you. I should like to thank him." As she began to tell him, she heard the door and the voices of Spike and Andrew.
"Oh, there he is now." Spike and Andrew entered the library. Elizabeth walked to Spike and took him by the hand.
"Wesley, this is Spike and his partner Andrew."
Wesley slowly stood and turned around, coming face to face with Spike.
"Young master William?"
