On the Street
Faith and Buffy obviously seemed to know where they were going. No one had spoken until Spike had something pop inot his head.
"Buffy, how did you know what happened the first time in Italy?"
Angel stared at Buffy awaiting the answer. Buffy never stopped walking but answered, "You know when I died the second time, with Glory, I went to heaven." She paused there for a second. Spike knew about this but it occurred to her that she hadn't told Angel or Faith. Averting their apologetic gazes she continued, "The powers gave me a choice, I could go on for the rest of eternity and finally forget this hell on earth or I could stay in this limbo place. Couldn't forget so I stayed. They showed me mom and it was so beautiful but since I already chose to never forget I had to say goodbye knowing this time she was safe. When I went back to this limbo place they showed me everyones lives. Nice moves with the demon monks Angel. Anyway one day I realized something, I knew a lot about the ones I love but the two I love most I knew nothing about. All I know were you guys were evil murderous bastards."
Spike and Angel were hurt that she could be that blunt. It wa slike she had no emotion in her voice or in her body anymore. She wasn't that lonely blonde slayer they used to know, Angel interrupted her, "Buffy I wish..."
Buffy cut him off and finished her story, "That's the thing too, you both wish you could take it all back! Wish it never happened. You wouldn't be the people you are if you didn't do what you did. Guilt and regret are not the same." Their words got to them and both of them though, (Now I know what she really thinks!) She continued, "Anyway since I loved you guys I decided I wanted to know, I wanted to know why people were so scared of you, why people ran from you, why Spike was able to kill two slayers and why Angelus was so highly respected. So they showed me, I got to see everything. Darla, Drusilla, The Immortal, The beast, The dead slayers, The day of the curse, I had to watch the gypsies grieve for her, I saw families murdered, I saw Spike kill the girl Dru killed for him even when he had the chip and for some reason I saw Angel and Darla in his room even when he had a soul. The worst part of it all was...(Buffy finally stopped and turned around)...it was after you both did everything you had the same grin on your faces!"
Buffy turned back around and started walking even faster with Faith along her side. Angel and Spike obviously felt the hurt the words their slayer caused them but walked the rest of the way in silence. Spike was about to break it when Buffy suddenly stopped. She saw Willow crying in Xander's arms in the alley obviously waiting for them.
Buffy ran up to them and immediately started asking questions, "What's wrong? What happened?"
All Willow had to do was point. Buffy looked into the door she was pointing through and gasped. Wesley was at Giles side trying to patch a wound. Giles was pretty much out but Buffy ran to his side and started to talk to him. She was amazed when he opened his eyes a little.
"Giles, good, good stay alive."
He nodded and smiled as best he could. When he closed his eyes Buffy shot he rhead up directly at Wesley. "What the hell happened here?"
Wesley looked at her and laid it all out, "We were all fighting Dana, the slayer and somehow she managed to take us all out...including the three slayers you allowed to come with us." Buffy stared around the room until her eyes caught sight of a slayer she didn't know...Dana. As if reading her mind Wesley continued, "She tied us all up in the basement and then she started rambling to herself. Giles knew she could feel what you used to feel...Like she wa sliving your life. He figured as long as she had your memories and visions we'd be okay until we hit her with one of the tranquilizers. When we got free of the ropes we both noticed she was crying and rambling as if she was remembering faith's life."
Buffy gasped again and Faith came running in."There's no way Wes! What did she do?"
"Giles got the gun and aimed but she noticed. She picked up a gun and walked towards us. Giles nodded at me and I understood. He went straight for her and when he got close enough he tossed me the tranq gun and as I fired so did she. I hit her three times and she hit Giles once...with the gun. The last thing she said was 'She's coming and she feels so much pain.' She should be out for another couple hours but we need her contained."
Buffy was frozen and Willow and Xander noticed. They ran to her and Willow spoke first, "Buffy, not another coma okay! We need you here and we don't have time for you to..."
Buffy cut her off, "Not a coma just a moment." Willow and Xander hugged her and she stood there. They were pretty much used to that! When they let go Buffy started giving orders, "Angel you call Wolfram and Hart, we need this girl contained and fast. If it's not too much trouble I don't want to take him to a hospital so could you phone for a med teame too?"
Angel just nodded as he was already dialing on his cell phone. She looked around the room and saw everyone tied up. "The rest of you untie and try to wake the rest of them.!"
Everyone nodded and no one complained. Spike walked up to her and stared at her. They were practically the same height, him just a little bit taller and their eyes just matched. Spike thought to himself, (Those eyes, they aren't the same as they used to be. She's seen evil and now it's become her. Poor slayer, no one should have to be put through that. We're gonna save her...After we save the rest of the buggers.) Buffy finally backed off with a tear and her eye, "What is this Spike?"
"Just needed to see for myself pet!"
"What...?"
She was interrupted by sirens and doors closing. (Wow that was fast) They all rushed in and they all walked straight to her followe dby Angel. She took that as her cue to give her orders. "Okay take the wounded and get them fixed. I want one team with me and I want them to carry a tranq gun. We're gonna take the slayer and get her contained."
Everybody rushed off. Spike and Angel stared after her for a little while complying to blonde girl. Everyone was taken with the med team except for Buffy.
Ambulance containing Buffy and Dana
Buffy just stared at her. She was so helpless and scared; So confused and in pain! Dana's body shivered a bit and Buffy kneeled by her side with her head over her. The two slayers stared at each other and a tear came out of the sides of both slayers eyes. Buffy gripped the tranq gun harder and right after Dana spoke 'There's so much pain there! So much terror and you're still standing!' she shot her with it in the leg and Dana was out again. Buffy backed up and sat down again just staring at her!
Hospital in Wolfram and Hart
Faith, Angel, Spike, Willow and Xander stood behind a window looking in on all those lying in the hospital beds. Willow and xander turned to face the other three who turned to face them. Willow looked at Xander who nodded.
Willow started to speak to them, "I need to talk to you guys, about Buffy!" They all nodded. "Do we agree that we need to know what happened when she was in...that place?"
"Why are you asking us these questions red?" Spike said curiously
"Just please answer me!" They all gave her nods. "Okay what if I told you guys that we could, that we could all see what happened."
"You need to explain a little more Willow. Just lay it all out." Angel told her anxious to hear it
Xander took over, "When she came back we researched forever about something that could give us even a hint on what happened with Buffy and how she came back. When everyone else stopped me and Willow kept going. We found a spell that we could do that would let us see everything that happened."
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell us?" Faith stepped forward getting a littl angry
"Because we didn't have everything...everyone we needed." They all looked confused so Xander continued, "This spell, it involves blood. It needs the blood of 6 of the closest people too her."
"Well you have that so wh...?"
Xander cut her off, "We couldn't because 3 of them have to be more then human and 3 have to actually be human. This means we need Spike and since Spike was...is suppossed to be dead then there wa sno use getting everyones hopes up!...Why aren't you dead?"
"Long story, so who are the six?"
Willow answered for them, "The more then human would be you(Spike), Angel and Faith. Faith has the slayer sister blood, Angel has her heart and soul and Spike has her physically and humanly, meaning she can talk to him more."
"She can talk to me? Well she did always come to..."
"Shut up Spike" Angel let out a small growl and the mention of physically
Spike laughed a little, "Jealous are you peaches?"
Faith took this time to look up, "Lower the male testosterone in her please. I know what you mean witht he sister slayer thing, I've never seen more me in her then I did tonight."
"So who are the other 3?" Angel asked curiously
Xander answered, "That would be Willow, me and Giles."
"What about the little bit?" Spike asked
"We thought about that but Willow has key blood in her, it's not pure enough."
Everyone nodded and Faith asked, "So why you three?"
Willow answered this time, "Well we've all been connected since we did that spell to defeat adam. Giles is her watcher and her father figure. Xander is the loyal and the heart of her. Well I am the witch, the essence and best friend part of her."
There was a long silence. "So how does this work? What do we have to do? What could go wrong?" Angel questioned either of them.
Willow being the spell expert accepted Xander's hand and got ready for a long explanation, "I'll explain to you how we set up and everything if you guys decide to do this. Our blood mixed with hers will actually bond us, like me, Faith and Buffy are with the slayers. This bond and the right words will put us into a sleep where we will see everything that happened to Buffy!" Some hope lit up into Angel's eyes but Willow had to go on with the bad news. "There is something that could go wrong." That hope dissappeared immediately. "We'll be in her world. We'll see each other and be able to touch each other but not her. She can't see us or feel us but if anyone touches or calls her name that reality becomes real. If we do this no matter what we see being done to her or what we see happening no one can do anything about it."
Everyone once again went silent. No one knew what to say to that until Faith realized something, "She ain't gonna just let us into her mind like that."
"That's while we'll have to do it while she's sleeping."
"And how do we get her blood?" Spike asked
"If we do this then her blood, her slayerness senses something. She'll be cautious of all of us so the sooner the better. Since her blood does sense something happening we can't just put a sleep spell on her and cut her because she won't bleed. Her blood needs to be suck..." Willow started
"You're asking one of us, to drink her?" Angel said shaking his head
"Actually no!" They both looked relieved until they heard Willow's next words. "I will do the sleep spell but I'm only asking Spike to drink her. You already have Angel, it won't work if you do it again." Willow confirmed
Angel growled and Spike looked surprised, "You drank her? You bloody ponce, how could you drink her? I thought that was from Dracula!"
Angel growled louder then yelled, "She made me!...Dracula bit her! Doesn't he owe us some money?"
"Yea but being evil I didn't do anything about it. We should go find where he got his ashes back together and you know really kill him."
"You let him drink her. You knew he would!"
"Hello, I was evil you looney!"
They stared each other down until Faith pushed them apart!
"I can't drink her!"
"Spike listen, I hate you as much as the next guy but I won't hate you anymore if you do this. We only need a little and we'll be there to make sure you don't take too..."
"That's not it Red, I just can't do that to her!" (Pause) "Plus even if I did, her blood would be in my system.
"No it wouldn't, you just need a little and you could just spit it into a bowl. I know sick but it's what has to be done." Willow told him
They argued and argued until Spike and Angel finally agreed to let Spike drink her. No one smiled knowing that the hardest part was still to come.
Willow stared at Xander, "So we tell Giles they agree!"
Xander, "I guess so. Good thing he's gonna be okay! That was way too close!"
Willow nodded and looked at the other, "Yea we already told Giles."
Angel and Spike looked at each other and Spike nodded, "We gotta settle this Angelus."
Faith looked confused, "What the hell are you guys talkin about?"
Spike looked away, "He drank her first, Buffy is suppossed to belong to him. He'll kill Dracula, believe me he'll kill him a lot but since he knows I'm gonna bite her we have to settle it. He kills me I can't drink her. I kill him I can. We beat each other to a pulp and no one wins and I get to drink her because deep down she wants me to."
"Man you vampires are just a bunch of guys with fangs!" Faith said as she walked into the room with all the beds. The three slayers had awoken, "Gonna go to some ketchup with the girls. When we doin this thing?"
Xander yelled, "Tomorrow night, during the day today Spike's gonna get the blood."
She nodded and walked into the room and hugged the fellow slayers. Spike and Angel walked away after gathering that information. They headed for the training room staring at each other the whole way. Xander and Willow were the only ones left.
Xander stared at the red head, "You scared?"
"Terrified, This is almost as big as the spell I used to bring Buffy back!"
"Then why didn't you tell them?"
"If I told them that Spike drinking Buffy was crucial and why, I don't think they'd do it."
"Good point. They will find out!"
"Just think though. Buffy will be back. She can save us from being yelled at by her ex lovers excluding Faith."
Xander smiled, "Willow, we've all changed so much, especially you and yet you still remain that cooky 7 year old that broke up with me because I stole your barbie."
Willow smiled as she hugged Xander, "It will all be better soon...I hope!"
Authors Note-=- I don't know how to make the bote crucial even though i had an idea and now I don't. It went away and now the only thing is that Buffy will want him to bite her so she will accidentally cut him and make herself a vampire and willow knows this so she has the soul spell close by. or something like that but I don't want Buffy a vampire and I don't think you guys do either. PLEASE REVIEW AND HELP ME! I can't update until I have an idea! By the way Buffy and Angel will be together. Probably both human and in Ireland. I have a huge obsession with the whole happy Angel in the sun thing. I wouldn't have it any other way, well maybe evil like Buffy evil vampire and Angelus but I don't se this fic turning that way!
Faith and Buffy obviously seemed to know where they were going. No one had spoken until Spike had something pop inot his head.
