Dawn came down with a couple bags of her own and sat them next to Willow, Tara and Buffy's. "Spike where's yours?" She asked the vampire who was sitting in a chair in front of the TV.

"Where's my what, niblet?" Spike asked.

"Your bag" Dawn said "it's not over here"

"Don' need one" Spike said. "all the clothes I own are on my back"

"Well I don't know about you but I am going to take a nap, English time being different and all" Buffy said stretching herself out on the couch and closing her eyes, she was asleep in minutes and dreaming.

Red eyes, snakeskin, pain. Everything was horrible, the air was thick with death and the ground was dead and littered with bodies. "Time was, I thought humans existed just to hurt people" she heard Angel say, just like he did to Faith. "Can't even shout, can't even cry" came the singing voice of the little girl. Buffy was spinning around in circles, trying to catch hold of the red eyed person "This time tomorrow, I'll kill you all" came the manly voice of the lunch lady. "It's about power" she heard herself say.

There was a flash of black clothing and cold and air and everything got louder "Are you breaking up with me?" She asked Angel "I can't breath Will, it feels like I can't breath" her sobbing voice came over her, and then the feeling like she was dying "If you guys ... if you guys understood how it felt ... how it feels. It's like I'm dying" all the pain from getting ripped from heaven filled her, it beat down on her lungs and she couldn't breath.

Then Faith was there "Hey B, looks like you could use some help".

"Faith?" She asked.

"I'm here, I just need to be there, I got a letter too you know, they want me to help fight the good fight." Faith said, kicking out at the death like creature with out a scythe.

"You got a letter from the Big D too?" Buffy asked.

"The big D?" Faith asked her laughing "less time around me B"

"I can't pronounce his name" Buffy said "are you for real? You're coming to help?"

"If you'll have me" Faith said "I'm not bad anymore, well….not completely bad, you got your boy Angel to thank for that"

Buffy was glad she'd have her sister slayer there to help her through what looked to be a rough time. "Now, what about this stuff?" she asked gesture at the voices that were still floating around "B you have to let it go or it will consume you…trust me, I know"

"I…don't know if I can" Buffy said.

"I can't believe you're giving me an ultimatum!" her voice screamed at Riley.

"Ask me again why I could never love you" her voice spat at someone, she didn't remember ever saying that to anyone.

"From beneath you it devours" came a distorted voice.

"B, you have to wake up…everyone's staring at you" Faith said.

Buffy eyes snapped open and looked at the six figures standing over her, concern etched on all their faces "Good she's awake!" Anya said "That muttering was getting annoying!"

"Anya!" Xander snapped at his fiancée.

"Muttering?" Buffy asked sitting up.

"Yeah Buff. From beneath you it devours?" Xander said

"Ask me again why I could never love you" Dawn added.

" I can't believe you're giving me an ultimatum" Willow continued.

" I can't breath Will, it feels like I can't breath" Tara added.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Anya added to the list of things Buffy had said.

"It's about power," Spike said, still in his chair by the TV

"This time tomorrow I'll kill you all" Giles said, looking at her oddly.

"Can't even shout can't even cry" Willow said.

"Time was I thought humans existed just to hurt each other" Buffy whispered, she shook her head "they were voices, from my past, and possibly from my future, Faith was there….she's coming with us" Buffy said.

"She's what!" Came the heated reply from everyone.

"Don't worry, she's good, Angel helped her" Buffy said, just then the phone rang cutting off the reply from the group. Buffy stood up and picked up the phone "Hello?"

"Hey B!" Faith said.

"Faith!" Buffy said.

"You have the same dream I did" Faith asked.

"Was there a lot of muttering voices?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah that would be the one, not sure if I just dreamed telling you I was coming or if I actually told you" Faith said, "Had to call to make sure"

"Well you did, that gang wasn't to pleased when I told them, but they'll get over it" Buffy said.

"Something else happened to me B, I got attacked after the letter got to me and well I got hit with something, and now I know sometimes" she said.

"Know what?"

"What's going to happen before it does" Faith said lowering her voice.

"Really!" Buffy said loudly " That's great"

"Yeah real great, only it kinda hurts" Faith said "Cordelia told me that was natural"

"Cordy is a seer?" Buffy asked.

"Yep, helps Angel fight the good fight and all" Faith said.

"Well I never saw that coming" Buffy said.

"Buffy duck!" Faith said.

Buffy didn't even question her when she threw herself to the ground right before an ax firmly embedded it's self where her head had been. "Thanks Faith, I almost lost my head," she said laughing at her joke.

"No problem B, you gotta go, see ya later!" Faith said before hanging up the phone.

Buffy got off the floor and hung up the phone "everyone away from the windows, I don't want anyone hurt" Buffy said as she forced the ax out of the wall and headed to the door.

"Uh Buffy?" Willow asked.

"I'll explain later," Buffy said opening the door and heading out.
