Spike had been working at the magic shop now for a couple of months. It had taken a while to get used to the schedule that Cadence had and taking care of the Magic Box but he finally got used to it and was doing a good job. Spike had been at the Magic Box when he heard that the ring leader of the trio terrorizing Buffy for a while, Warren had charged into Buffy's backyard where she was working in her mother's garden and fired a couple shot's. Willow came storming into the Magic Box babbling about how he shot her and how she was gone.
" Willow who was shot?" Spike said as he picked up Cadence and rushed over to her. She headed straight for the books that weren't for sale, which meant that they were usually of the not good kind.
" Buffy was shot. Someone called the police. Tara oh god, Tara's gone. He got her too. She's dead." Willow sobbed. As she was telling him what happened she was changing. The magic that was bubbling in her veins from the non use of it had erupted like a volcano. She was literally soaking up the magics and the information in the books. Her hair had turned brown and her eye black. She was not the lovable red headed computer wiz Willow that they all knew and loved. No she was being taken over by a dark veiny Willow who was in pain and out for revenge.
"Willow do you know if Buffy is o.k?" Spike asked his concern for Buffy was growing by each second. " She's at the hospital." Willow answered as she walked calmly out of the Magic Box. She turned the open sign to close like she knew what Spike was going to do. Before Willow was out the door Spike was putting on Cadence jacket and heading to the back room were the sewer entry way was.
At the Hospital
When Spike entered the waiting room 15 minutes later he saw Dawn sitting with a women he didn't know. He went over to them and handed Cadence to Dawn.
" Where is she?" he asked. " She's in the operating room, they wouldn't let us in." Dawn answered. "Us?" he asked with a quizzical look on his face. " This is Amelia she's the one who called the police who brought ..." Dawn never finished her sentence because the "new" Willow walked through the doors and straight to the operating room where Buffy was. Spike and Amelia both followed her.
"Get out" they heard Willow say as they entered. The doctors obeyed leaving in the room Buffy on the table Willow Spike and Amelia. Spike and Amelia sat in awe as they watched Willow pull out the bullet magically and heal Buffy. Buffy sat up startled by her best friend standing in front of her all black eyed and brown hair. She then looked over to the middled aged women to her left.
"Who are you?" She asked sounding more rude than she meant to be. "I'm Amelia Reynolds member of the Watchers Council. I was sent here to secretly keep an eye on you and your very powerful friend." she answered. Everyone turned to where Willow would have been had she been there. Buffy stood up, hugged Spike and then left the room, Spike and Amelia following.
