Disclaimer: Its Joss's world, we just play in it (aka, I don't own anything, Joss Whedon does, so please don't sue me, I am just doing this for my own enjoyment. There is no money involved, and trust me, I don't have any anyway. I mean, like, none.)

Author's Note: Hmm, I finished chapter 7. I actually really like this one. Thanks all of you who keep reading this. That means a lot. For everyone waiting for a Buffy part, here it is. I hope you all like it.

The room was silent for a while after Keira had finished explaining the story to Buffy and Dawn. She was a little surprised to see the younger Summers, but with a look from Spike, she knew that there would not be a problem with it. She started to feel the room grow uncomfortably silent, and was about to say something, but someone was quicker than she was.

"So, you've been waiting here how long?" Buffy asked.

"Technically, around 1500 years."

"Wow, how old are you?" Dawn asked, amazed.

"Lets see," Keira said, looking up and counting to herself, "one thousand, five hundred and...twenty six." She finished finally.

"Wow, you look good for your age." Dawn said.

"It's the wristbands." She stated, given that she had explained the whole part about how they worked to them before hand, when she was explaining the prophecy.

"You know, no offence or anything, but how am I to know that this is all for real?" Buffy queried.

Keira sighed; she knew that this was going to be difficult, just as it had been when she had explained everything to the vampires. The world had become so untrusting.

"She's telling the truth, Slayer." Spike said, seriously.

"And how are you so sure, Spike?" Buffy asked.

"I'll...I'll explain it all to you later, alright?" He stated.

Buffy looked at him, and started to get ready to argue, but closed her mouth instead.

"Now," Keira began again, "There is something else that I have been saving to tell all of you until you were all together. There is something important that I have to show you."

With that, she led them out of the room in which they occupied and to a locked door.

"There is something very important on the other side of this door. I am hoping that what it is will help all of you to be successful in this, battle."

She quickly unlocked the door and took the torch that had been at the side of the entrance and brought it into the room, lighting numerous candles and torches that were placed around it. When the room was lit, they all saw that what the room held was a large arsenal of weapons. All of them were swords and daggers of some type, all very pointy and harsh looking weapons.

"Wow, where did you get all of these?" Angel said, amazed.

"I made them." Keira stated.

"You made all of these?" Spike said, eyes wide as they scanned the room, "You've been holding out on me, love."

"Well, I can't divulge all of my secrets at once," she said coyly.

"Where'd you get all the metal?" Dawn asked.

"Before my clan died out, they used to acquire ore, when I was confined to the fortress, I would ask them to let me have some of it, so that I could keep my skills up. Every month they would bring me a supply. It finally ran out about 200 years ago; so I was taking some of the old ones that I made that were not very good, and melted them down to make new ones. I stopped about five years ago. I figured, you could use some of these when you would finally arrive."

"Do you know how to use any of these things?" Buffy asked, picking up a rather ornate looking, and also sharp, sword.

"Well, yeah, actually." Keira answered, picking up a dagger that was close to her and walking to the wall. 'You see the knot in that beam on the far wall?" she asked, pointing out one of the beams on the wall opposite from where she was standing.

"Yeah." Buffy said.

"Keep an eye on it, and everyone, back up."

They all got out of the way, and with a deep breath, Keira turned spun the dagger in her hand and threw it at the beam. The point landed directly in the middle of the knot that she had pointed out before.

"Impressive." Angel said.

"It's the only thing I ever really learned, considering there really wasn't anyone else here to practice with."

"It could come in handy." Buffy said, nodding.

Keira smiled. "Thanks, now, I will go and get your rooms ready. Would one of you bring in some rocks from outside?"

"Sure, I'll get some." Angel said, walking out with her.

"Thank you. I'll see you shortly."

The two of them walked out, leaving only Spike and the sisters in the weapons room.

"There's something odd about her." Buffy stated when they were alone.

"She's a telepath." Spike stated, leaning against the wall.

"Gee, that's reassuring." Buffy stated.

"You mean she can read our minds any time she wants?" Dawn asked.

"She could, but she won't. She told me she only does it when she has permission. It kind of tingles too, so you know when she is doing it."

"Wait, how do you know?"

"Because she's done it to me." Spike stated.

"You? The man who's had governments playing around in his brain, let alone the first evil of all time, let her take a peak into your brain? Are you sure she hasn't brainwashed you?" Buffy countered.

"She's not like that Buffy, and it was my idea to let her."

"Yeah, that really doesn't make me feel any better, Spike."

"Look, she can feel our emotions. I caught her talking to this mystical book, she'll have to show that to you later, and she was talking about feeling our pain, Angel's, and mine. I told her it was there for a reason, you know, because of all the things that we have done."

"But you were two different people back then, Spike, you didn't have your souls."

"That's exactly what she said. We've talked every night since we've shown up here, love, and trust me, you can trust her. I know all of this sounds crazy, but you can trust her."

"How are you so sure, Spike?"

"Bit, could you leave us alone for a minute?" Spike asked.

"But..."

"Please?" he said, looking at her earnestly.

"Oh, alright." Dawn stated, sulking out of the room.

When she had gone, Spike looked intently at Buffy. "I looked at her, Buffy. I looked into her eyes, and do you know what I saw?"

Buffy shook her head.

"I saw a part of Dawn, and Fred, and Red, and even you. I saw a part of each of the strong women that I have known throughout my existence that have helped me to become better, more human. I can trust her because I can trust all of you, even Willow at times... sometimes."

"Oh, Spike, see what you've done." Buffy said, waving her hand at her face, "you made me act all, girly."

"Well, I suppose that that's better than acting like other things." He joked.

"Spike!" Buffy stated, but she started giggling, killing the annoyed affect that she was trying.

"C'mon, Slayer." He said, leading her out of the room.
