Chapter 4: Jessica and Glory
" So, did you enjoy your little field trip?" came a voice behind them.
The whole gang turns around to find Spike sitting on the couch while Arial was in the corner looking at some books.
"Oh, look, if it isn't Saint Spike." Buffy spoke to him, stressing the word Saint, obviously angry.
" I wouldn't listen to what those if idiots said, I don't have a problem with killing any of you." William replied with his voice emotionless like ice, going into game face. Only Arial knew that he didn't mean it and it was defensive.
" And I still don't have a problem with killing you." Buffy said, taking out her stake.
Arial finally came back from her corner " Sir down, we still have to tell you more," with that she effectively stopped the fight that was threatening to happen.
" You now know the basic knowledge, but there still are more personal things that we got to talk about." Arial said while the other were sitting down, ready to listen to more.
" See, I had a younger cousin, Jessica. Her parents were killed in an accident and she came to live with Will and I. One day, when they were walking they were attacked and he was turned into a vampire. What very few know is that Jessica really wasn't my cousin, she was the Key. The priests did the same thing, fake memories and a slayer to protect her." Arial paused to let yet another shock to seep in.
"I have a past life?" Dawn asked.
"That would explain why you called her Jessica, when you came in." Giles said.
"Yes, it would. I never really got how I could keep my soul. We guessed it was a freaky power that Dawn had." Spike finally spoke.
"Speaking of powers, did you really have the power to walk in the daylight?' Giles asked, remembering the topic form the conversation with Peter.
"Yeah, Ar, had this weird friend, I don't even know what she is but she charmed my wedding ring to allow those cool tricks. The ring stopped working after Arial died" Spike explained.
"How did Arial die?"
Willow asked, speaking for the first time since they got back.
"
We had a problem, Glory. I should be glad she didn't recognize me now
or I would have been dead. We were supposed to meet at night, to go
over our plans for killing her. When I got there, I saw Glory
standing over Arial, her hand in her stomach, she killed her by
pullingArial's intestine out." Spike's voice was tight,
remembering the scene. Everyone in the gang was silent and disgusted
at the same time.
"From what I heard later, Spike placed the spell that day, that made her share a body with a human." Arial continued, since it was obvious Spike couldn't anymore.
"So what, he went from a grieving husband to a bloodthirsty killer? And what about Drusilla? You are missing key points here." Buffy accused, not wanting to believe the story that went completely against everything she knew.
"My friend, the one that charmed the wedding ring, she did something, I don't know what strings she pulled, or what spell she said but she did something for him. She turned Will back into a human and erased his memory. He only got his memories back when he was turned into a vampire by Drusilla and then it was too late because he lost his soul this time." Arial's voice saddened.
"Oh," that was the only thing that Buffy could say.
"I didn't come back from the dead to just tell you about Will's past . We think that we could use the same plan that we had for Glory, to defeat the First."
" What's the plan?" Giles asked.
"I will tell you but we must do some things before. First, we have to train Dawn to use her powers, and then there are some other things we have to do."
"Well, that's great, let's do what we have to and kill that thing." Buffy stood up, ready for action.
" You don't even know what the other thing is" Spike stood up swiftly, and spoke angrily.
"I will do whatever I have to, to kill the First."
"Are you ready marry me?"
I have the next chapter written where things really pick up but I want to see how the repost did, so please review.
