A/N Thanks for reviewing Home and Charmed, Moon java, Dark light and kinetic-kid. I didn't think anyone was even reading my stories anymore. For that I'm going to upload two chapters at once.

But before that I'm going to answer some questions. To Darklight, I haven't thought of all I want to do to Spike, but he still might become a good guy. If he does become good though I'll make it believible, just trust me. As for Faith, just wait until you see what happens when I do the summers interlude.

Chapter 14

Nobody's Hero

"Kendra do you know what you've done?" Tara asks as she retracts her sword and walks up to the girl.

"I saved your life girl." Kendra replied as she walked up to her. "And how did you know me name?"

Tara let out a sigh and shook her head. 'Damn me and my big mouth.' she thinks to herself.

"Listen I know that you're a Slayer and..."

"How do you know of de Slayer?" Kendra cuts her off. "Identify yourself."

"My name's Tara. And I know about Slayer's because I fight beside the other one."

"Dat's impossible." Kendra said with a raised eyebrow. "I'm de only Slayer."

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble hun." Tara said as she picked up her bag. "But the Slayer line isn't that unique anymore. Now come with me." she said as she walked up to the door.

"I'm going to take you to meet Buffy's Watcher. He'll explain everything to you."

Kendra looked at her skeptically for a moment and then followed her out of the door.

Spikes Warehouse

"I can't believe that bloody bitch did this to me." Spike said as he paced about the room. Images of things that he had never done still assualted his mind. Everytime he would think about the Seraphim, he would see an image of a girl half insane, with him clutching onto her protectively.

"Spike..." Dru calls for him from the other room. As Spike enters he see's her lying in bed, crying out blood tears.

"What is it pet?" Spike asks as he takes her hands in his.

"Spike, I can see the light in you. My Aunt has changed you."

"Luv what are you talking about?" Spike asks as he gives her a soft kiss. "I don't have a soul." he assures her.

"No not your soul." she says as she sits up. "She gave you your memories." Dru says in a disembodied voice, that's deep and resonant.

"Who the 'ell are you?" Spike asks as he stands to his feet.

"Spike my boy." Dru said as she stood to her feet. "I'm someone that the heavens themselves tremble before. Now sit down, we have much to discuss."

Giles Apartment

"Good Lord!" Giles bellowed at the end of Tara and Kendra's story. He had never figured that another Slayer would have been called. Besides, Buffy only died a little bit.

"So Kendra, where is your Watcher?" Giles asked.

"He is still in Jamaica, sir." Kendra told him. "We thought dat, de other Slayer had died, so we were makin' preparations to come to Sunnydale. Den I could take over as Slayer."

"That's quite perculiar." Giles said as he rubbed at his glasses. "The Council knows that Buffy is alive. Why on earth would they keep the existance of another Slayer, a secret?"

"I don't know, sir." Kendra answered him.

"Please Kendra, just call me Giles." he told her with a warm smile. "Everybody does."

"Okay. But Mister... Giles, when do I get to meet de other Slayer."

"In the morning." Giles said as he looked at his watch. "It's getting rather late. I'm sure that Buffy will be very excited to meet you Kendra. I also hope that you don't mind sharing a room with, Tara?" he asked. Kendra looked over at Tara, who was looking back at her with a warm smile.

"Dat's going to be just fine." Kendra replied.

"You can have the bed." Tara says as they walk into her room.

"No I want deprive you of your bed." Kendra told her as she put some blankets and a sheet on the floor. "Dis is your room."

"I know it's my room, and you're my guest." Tara explains as she shrugs out of her clothes and puts on her night things. "That's why I want you to have the bed. Trust me I've slept on far worse." she said indicating the floor.

"Here you can wear some of my night clothes too." Tara said as she handed her some.

"Tank you." Kendra said as she began to take her clothes off. "For de clothes and de bed."

Tara didn't hear much of what the Slayer had said, because she was staring at Kendra's perfect body. Snapping out of her daydream, she made a pallet on the floor and layed down.

"So how were you able to fight like dat?" Kendra asked as she got comfortable on Tara's bed. At Tara's raised eyebrow she explained herself.

"I felt power comin' from dat old theater, so I went to it. When I looked inside, I saw you and dat vampire fighting."

"Ohhh... I just had a very good karate teacher." Tara explained.

"You must have studied for many years." Kendra said with a yawn. "Your fighting technique was very impressive."

"Thanks but I only trained for like three month's." Tara told her.

"Dat's impossible." Kendra said as she sat up in bed. "I spent me whole life, training to reach dat level of skill."

"Hey what can I say." Tara said with a grin. "I'm just a fast learner."

With that said, the two began to chat a little. Tara told Kendra a little about herself and about the other Scoobies. In turn Kendra told Tara about her life and how she felt to be a Slayer.

(So Angel what happens to Kendra?) Tara asked in her mind.

(In a few months time, she's going to get killed by Drusilla.) he told her sadly. Tara looked up at her new friend lightly snoring on her bed.

(That's not going to happen.) Tara vowed. (Not this time)

Sunnydale High

The next day

Tara had just introduced Kendra to the Scoobies. As expected Xander and Johnathon, practically drooled all over her. Tara often wondered what it was about their group, that attracted hot chicks into it.

"So you fought Spike last night?" Xander asked as he stopped eye molesting Kendra. At Tara's nod, he continued. "I'm surprised. I would've thought that you would try to save him again."

"Xander." Willow admonished as she slapped him on the arm.

"You tried to save William de Bloody?" Kendra asked. "What were you tinkin'? Don't you know dat he's one of de most dangerous vampires in de world?"

"I had a feeling that he was going to play a big role in saving the world." Tara said looking at them all in turn. "But after last night, I see that he can't be saved."

At Kendra's confused look, Giles hurried to explain about Tara.

"Um...Kendra...Tara is somewhat of a Soothsayer, as it were. She has informed us that she can see certain flashes of the future. Why she was having them about Spike I have no idea."

"He could have been a good man, Giles." Tara said. 'If I hadn't of screwed it up.' she thought to herself. Then she looked over at Miss Calendar. 'Maybe not.'

After the group finished their meeting, Tara cornered Miss Calendar in a corner. Alone.

"Ms. Calendar, can I talk with you a second?" Tara asked.

"Yeah, what's up?" she asked.

"I need you to do a spell for me. It's kind of powerful."

"What is it?" she asked curiously. "Maybe I could get Rupert to..."

"No." Tara said quickly. "You're the only one who can do this spell."

"You still haven't told me what it is." Ms. Calendar stated.

"It's a soul restoration spell." Once she said this Ms. Calendar immediately went pale.

"Wh...why do you think, I can do that?" Miss Calendar asked.

"Because, Janna of the Kalderash people, your ancestors made the spell."

"How did you..." Jenny said shaking her head. "Even if I could pull it off, that spell is lost to my people."

"Trust me Miss Calendar..." Tara said as she put a hand on her shoulder. "I have faith in you."

As the two started talking, more about the spell, neither of them noticed Angel listening to them behind the stacks.

Three weeks later

Sunnydale High Library

8:00 PM

No one had heard hide nor hair from Spike. But seeing as though Angel knew him better than anybody, he knew that Spike wouldn't give up so easily. Another problem was that Miss Calendar said that it would take a little more time for her to decipher some scrolls, that were the key to the soul spell. On the bright side Kendra's Watcher told her that there was a dark power rising in Sunnydale, so she got to stay.

The other creatures of the night must have also followed Spike's example, because all was quiet in Sunnydale. Except for the occasional vampire attack, there weren't any big bads around. Making life kinda boring.

As the group sat in the library discussing Tara's big surprise for the night. Someone threw a rock through the library window. Shaking off the glass from the rock, Buffy picked it up and read the note aloud.

"Meet me at the docks. It's time for round two Seraphim. Spike." Buffy said finishing the note. "Who or what the hell is a Seraphim?" Buffy asked looking expectantly at Giles.

"Well um... according to some beliefs a Seraphim is the highestorder of an Angel."

"So why would Spike write to us about an Angel?" Amy asked. No one saw Tara as she started to pale.

"I have no idea." Giles answered.

"Let's just forget about all that, guys." Buffy said getting everyone's attention. "We know where Spike is now, so let's just go and take care of him."

"Alright." Giles started as he walked up to the weapons cage. "Xander, Tara, Kendra where ever on the docks, Spike's base is on, I want you to engage him first. Just in case of it being a trap, Angel, Johnathon, Buffy, Willow, Amy, and myself will act as your back up."

As Giles said this they gather weapons and head out of the door. Before he leaves the building Giles walks towards Jenny's computer class to check up on her.

She's at her desk working on the translation program. She takes a sip of coffee from her mug and sets it back down. She types a few keystrokes, then stares at the screen. Behind her Giles appears and stands in the doorway.

"Hello." Giles calls out.

She's startled by his voice and looks at him. Quickly she types a few keystrokes, and the screen changes. She turns back to him.

"Oh! Hi." she said worriedly. She didn't want him to figure out what she was up to.

"You're working late." he said as he steps into the room.

"Special project." she says as she looks at him. "Rupert... Okay, I don't wanna say anything if I'm wrong, but I may have some news. Now, I need to finish up here. Could I see you later?"

"Y-yes, yes. You could stop by my house."

"Okay." Jenny said with a seductive smile. "Oh and tell Tara, I'll be by the bronze to check out her performance."

"Good." Giles says as he turns to leave the room. Jenny turns her attention back to her computer.

As the group makes it to the docks, Tara sniffs around and locates where Spike is hiding. As they open the door to the very unstable looking warehouse, they look into the empty and pitch black room.

"Tara are you sure we're at de right place?" Kendra asked. Before she could answer the lights in the warehouse suddenly turned on. Half of the warehouse was illuminated in light, but they saw movement in the darkness.

As they stepped into the warehouse, Spike and Drusilla along with twenty vampires stepped out the shadows.

" 'ello luv." he said as he beamed at Tara. "I've been expectin' ya."
