Chapter 10

Tara paced around the room waiting for Amy to finish the spell. It was a spell to bring Willow back from the dead, to reverse what Amy had done. However, something was wrong.

"Tara, I've tried the spell like five times already. It's not going to work."

"Then try again!" Tara screamed and pressed her face in front of Amy's.

"Okay, I'll try again." Amy was scared of Tara by now and did everything she said. It wasn't her fault Willow was even dead in the first place, she just pushed her. Anyway Willow shouldn't have got in her way and threatened to tell people about the Rack business.

"No you can't tell Willow." Amy chased Willow down the high street hoping the two could just talk without Willow blabbing her mouth off to the slayer. Buffy was the last person Amy wanted to find out about the deal she made with Rack.

"You lied to me." Willow shouted back at Amy.

"No, please you don't understand."

"Understand? Understand that you used me."

"Fine! But if your gona blab, then this is for your own good."

As the arguing pair got to the side of the road, Amy pushed Willow In front of a Mercedes-Benz. The best thing about it was that Willow never saw it coming and that way she wouldn't blab her mouth off to Buffy and the rest of the gang.

"Oh god, I can't believe I missed this." Amy peered down into the book she was reading the spell from.

"What?" Tara demanded as she walked over to rat she had held prisoner until she had made everything alright again.

"Tara, the spells not gona work. Not unless you have a human sacrifice." Amy smiled as she looked around the room to see which one of Willow's friends would step forward and sacrifice their life. None of them did, however a familiar voice stepped forward. It was that of an old friend.

"I'll do it."

"Spike, I don't know what you want me to say." Buffy stared into Spike's eyes as he knelt in front of her.

"Buffy, I love you. With all my heart, well what's left of it. And being dead, it made me think I may never get an opportunity to do this again. To fall in love."

"Exactly Spike. You haven't got a heart or a soul, you're just a monster. I know it feels like I've said this before, but, your beneath me."

Spike stormed out of the room, after what Buffy said it felt like she had just ripped out his un-beating heart and thrown it aside. She judged him on his past and that hurt. He was gona prove her wrong though, he was going to get a soul. Whatever it took.

Buffy sat alone in the bedroom for quite a while. She couldn't believe what she had just said to spike. Her heart was telling her to go for it. But her head said no. she had always listened to her head, even when she and Riley were a couple. Maybe she was blessed to be a slyer, but cursed when it came to finding love.

"Okay, I'm through." Buffy whispered to her friends on the other side of the window in the mortuary. Xander began to climb through the window next. They wish they didn't have to do this but they had no choice, they were there to get Willow's body. After all they didn't want the doctors giving Willow an autopsy because then they would never be able to bring her back.

Anya was stood outside of the morgue; she was on look out duty. She didn't want to go in anyway; morgues had always given her the creeps. Even when she was a demon she stayed well clear of them. She was just as happy about being look out, it meant less work and all she had to do was scream if she got attacked or something along the lines of that.

Anya was still going over in her head about the visitor the gang had received earlier that evening. Anya couldn't believe he was back, after all that had happened last time he was in Sunnydale he had returned to save Willow and sacrifice himself. His manliness impressed Anya; she wished Xander would do something like that for her.

"Come on this way." Buffy called as she read all the name tags of the dead people. They were lined up in alphabetical order which made it easier. Willow was at the end, she looked so peaceful, a lone tear ran down Buffy's cheeks. She didn't want to see her friend like this; it killed her deep down because she was the one who blamed her for everything. It was all Buffy's fault just as much as Amy's.
