Chapter 47

Spike ran up the stairs. He opened his room and jumped on the bed and bounced a few times. Elizabeth did not even stir. He jumped again, and still nothing from her. He got up and walked across the room and ran to the bed and jumped on it once more. He studied her closely, she wasn't moving. He rested on one elbow and leaned closely into her and whispered in her ear.

"Ticklin' comes next."

"No!" she sat up and pushed him onto his back.

"I knew that would get you up." He smiled and kissed her deeply. "C'mon. Got some good news for everyone. Get Wesley and Faith." He smacked her bottom and got up from the bed. She grabbed his hand and kept him from walking away.

"What is it? Tell me." She begged. He cupped her face with his hands and got close to her.

"I got it. I got the other half of the spear."

"Oh my God! How? When?" she got off the bed and began to jump up and down in front of him.

"When? Earlier this mornin'. As to how? That'll have to wait for the others, but lets just say that if your ex-fiancé had a kingdom, I gather he would be wantin' to give it away for a horse right about now." He walked to the door and opened it then turned back to her, "Well what are you waitin' for, get them up woman!" he smiled and winked at her and closed the door.

Elizabeth immediately changed clothes and went into Faith and Wesley's room. She walked to Faith's side of the bed and began to shake her.

"Faith, wake up." Faith rubbed her eyes and looked at her.

"Buffy, what is it?" she rolled herself away from Wesley to face Elizabeth.

"Spike got the spear, he got the other half of the spear." Faith sat up quickly.

"Are you serious? This isn't something you dreamed is it?"

"No, I didn't' dream it. Hurry. Get Wesley up and come downstairs to the library."

Faith shook Wesley.

"Wesley, Wesley woke up." She shook him furiously. Wesley slowly turned to face her.

"Faith? What time is it?"

"I have wonderful news my love. Wonderful! Spike got the missing fragment."

"What?" he sat up, "How?"

"I don't know how, but get dressed, he wants to talk to us in the library." They got out of bed and got dressed quickly. Then walked to the library and sat down at the table with the others. Giles and Jenny sat at one end, then Willow next to Xander, then Faith and Wesley, Elizabeth sat in between two empty chairs. Spike stood at the end of the table. As he was getting ready to speak, he felt the drop in temperature that signaled Andrew's arrival. Andrew appeared to Elizabeth's left.

"How did you know we were havin' a meeting?" asked Spike.

"I'm a ghost, I wander, its pretty much what I do. I also happened to wander into Summers manor and caught your performance. That was spectacular by the way, thanks for that kick." Andrew laughed and nodded. Spike chuckled and turned to the rest of the group and began to tell his tale.

"Earlier today I rode out to Buffy's home. When I got there I saw a horse near the stable. When I walked into the house I saw there was an intruder."

"Angelus." Said Elizabeth.

"Right." he nodded at her, "I managed to sneak up behind him and caught him by surprise."

"What did you do to him? And please let it have a beaten to a bloody pulp ending." Said Xander.

"Yes Xander that would be the correct ending. Angelus got quite bloody. I caught him by surprise so I was able to make a nice mess of him. Lucky for me he was wearing this." Spike held up the belt and looked at Willow and Giles.

"Can you figure out what we need to do with this to cure Wesley?" Giles stood up and walked to him and took the belt from his hands.

"We can try." He looked to Willow, "Let's get started Willow." She stood and disappeared into the lab with Giles. Spike walked to Wesley and put his hand on his shoulder.

"You'll be right as rain soon mate." Wesley looked up at him and patted his hand.

"Thanks to you my son, thanks to you."
