Willow arrived early in the morning way too bright for Buffy's mood. She had opened the door to see a bubbly Willow and had grimaced before letting her in with a closely followed Tara. She had done her best to act pleasant but her insides were in knots. Willow had explained that it was fairly simple procedure and she took the blood off Buffy.

Buffy watched as Willow combined the bloods and said something in Latin and then she froze and Buffy stared at her in confusion. Willow had looked embarrassed and said "Oh now I know what those words meant." Tara had looked at her a little angry and said "You should have asked me". Buffy looked back and forth between the two now very alert and said "What?" Willow bit her lip and said "Well um you see err the um spell is um" She looked at Tara and Tara sighed and said "She is trying to tell you that although the spell has worked Angel will wake up and not remember anything but Cordelia is still a demon. She misread two Latin words. One which really meant erases not gain and two mean true nature not death. In other words..." Willow continued "Um in other words, Angel doesn't remember anything from the time the spell was put on instead of him just gaining all the knowledge of what has happened and Cordelia isn't going to die but her true nature is going to be revealed within the hour."

Buffy's eyes widened and she said "What, how I mean I know how but ..." Tara nodded and said "You are going to have to go face her Buffy. But if it is any comfort." Willow butted in with "She is going to look mostly like her true self now so at least you won't feel your killing a human." Buffy nodded and said "How do I kill it, normal slice and dice or more drastic?" Tara took a book from Willow and flipped to a page and handed it to Buffy. She looked down and her face went pale and she handed it back to Tara closed and could only manage a "Oh".

Willow looked at Tara then at Buffy and said "What?" Tara looked at Willow strange and said "You didn't read the part about killing the demon did you?" Willow shook her head and Tara sighed and said "In order to kill the demon she has to make it vulnerable by killing the demon's affection. Then she can slice and dice."

Willow jumped up startled and said "What but the whole point of this was to get them together!". Tara smiled a little and said "The only good side to it is once the demon is killed everything is reversed so Angel won't really be dead but he will remember everything." Buffy face was still pale and she whispered "Everything". Tara nodded sadly and said "everything." Buffy kept her voice calm and said "Even me killing him again". Tara nodded and said "Sorry Buffy". She nodded and got up and went over to her weapons cabinet and said "Can you guys watch things here while I'm gone". Willow nodded and Buffy said "Everything is in their room if you need it and there are freash bottles in the fridge, if you can't find anything Eliza will know where it is, she will be up in about half an hour." Buffy took a key out from her pocket and undid the locks and took out a two sided battle axe. She then did the locks back up and slid the key in her pocket, thankful that she didn't travel anywhere without it.

She turned back to the girls and said "If I don't come back tell them I loved them that's why I did this ok?"

Willow looked shocked and said "Of course you'll come back".

Buffy smiled and said "Just in case ok?"

Willow let out a small "Ok" and Buffy placed her axe on the table and walked into the other room.

She walked over to the small cots which held her babies. She bent down and kissed each on their heads and whispered "I love you". She then walked over to the bed Eliza was in and sat down next to her and gave her a kiss on the head and said the same words although she got a reply from Eliza although a sleep ridden reply she still heard the words back.

She then walked back out of the room quietly closing the door and grabbed her axe and her coat and gave Willow a quick hug and left the hotel getting ready to face her worst nightmares.
