A.N.-Sorry this took so long I had major writer's block I mean crazy writer's block. Please, please forgive me.

Angel runs forward, "What are you doing to her."

Whistler is concentrating on Illyria, "Wait she'll be fine." His left hand still hovers above her, his right above the air beside her, "A mari usque ad mare. Ab aeterno. Ab imo pectore. Ab initio. Beatae memoriae. Disjecta membra, Divide et impera, Crescite et multiplicamini. Coniunctis viribus, Ceteris paribus, Concordia res parvae crescent, Contra mundum, Aut vincere aut mori. onsummatum est. De novo! De novo! De novo!" As Whistler chants in Latin the light coming from his hands gets brighter and the wind starts to swirl around the room blowing around papers and tugging on everyone's clothes.

Everyone shields themselves from the flying objects. As Connor shoves Dawn to the floor to protect her Dawn yells above the din, "What is he saying?"

Angel starts translating in perfect time with Whistler, "From sea to sea. From the beginning of time. From the bottom of the chest. (from the heart) From the beginning. Of blessed memory. The scattered remains, Divide and conquer, Increase and multiply. With united powers, All else being equal, Work together to accomplish more, Against the world, Either conquer or die. It is completed. Anew! Anew! Anew!"

A flash of light blinds everyone in the room and throws them off their feet.(A.N.- Those that hadn't already been knocked down that is) When everyone stands back up, Gunn leaning heavily on Faith, they rush over to where Illyria was thrown and help her to stand. She shakes her head to clear, "I disliked that, immensely. Where is the demon? I wish to do harm to him."

Gunn hears a dull moan and turns slightly, "Oh my God. Angel. Spike. Look!"

Everyone turns to look at where Illyria was originally standing. Angel, Connor, and Spike run over to the form laying there. Gunn follows at a slightly slower pace. Spike props up the unconscious form as eyes open, "Welcome back luv. How'd the afterlife treat ya Fred"

"What? Where?-" She blinks and tries to stand.

Angel helps pull her to her feet, "Its ok don't try to speak everything's gonna be ok."

Fred tilts her head to the side her face thoughtful as she looks at Connor, "Connor? I-I forgot. How'd I forget."

Connor smiles, "Doesn't matter. You remember now. All that matters is that your ok."

They help her sit and she leans back against the sofa, "I was so cold. I tried. I wasn't scared. I wasn't. Why couldn't I have stayed." Fred slips into unconsciousness.

Willow clears her throat, "I thought that Fred was dead that there was nothing to bring back-"

Gunn just stares at Fred's form, "Thanks to you."

Angel's head snaps up to look at him, "Gunn."

"No. Fred died horribly and they didn't do a damn thing to help her. Wes told me he told all of us. She was brave. Hell you just heard her yourself she wasn't scared she just wanted to stay and they didn't even try to help her. She didn't do anything wrong. She didn't deserve that."

"Gunn enough!"

Willow looks extremely upset, "We-we didn't know."

Angel frowns as he looks at her, "What do you mean you didn't know I talked to Giles."

Willow shakes her head, "He never told us that. I found out from the coven that Illyria had been released. We all wondered why you didn't ask us for help."

Spike snorts, "Well we bloody did. For Fred, if it hadn't been for her we probably wouldn't have called after the crap you lot pulled."

Buffy glares at him, "What the hell are you talking about Spike."

"Dana. Remember her, psychotic Slayer."

Buffy frowns, "You know Dana?"

"Do I know the girl who cut off my bloody hands. Hmmm I'm gonna have to go with yes!"

Dawn gasps, "She cut off your hands!"

Spike looks around at them, "You really didn't know?" Everyone shakes their head, "That little shit. At first I was proud know I just want to bloody kill him."

Buffy turns to Angel, "What happened?"

Angel looks back at her, "When we found out Dana was a Slayer we called the council or what's left of it. Anyways they sent Andrew."

"Lot of help he was."

Angel gives Spike a warning look, "She went on a killing spree, captured Spike, and cut off his hands before we finally found her," Dawn moves over towards Spike and hugs him, "We had to tranquilize her but we had the situation under control. When Andrew appears and says he'll take it from here then about 15 Slayers come out to back him up. I told him I'd call you, and he said go ahead that you had given the order. That you didn't trust us anymore. That no one did."

Buffy shakes her head, "Angel I never told him that of course I trust you I'll always trust you."

Fred moans and everyone focuses back on her. Her eyes open, "Well that was different." She sees Illyria, "What in the world-" She just stares at Illyria for a couple minutes neither one blinks, "Oh so that's what happened after I died." Fred frowns, "Your hiding something."

Angel looks from Illyria back to Fred, "No way."

Buffy looks at him, "What. What's happening?"

Angel doesn't look away from Fred and Illyria, "I think. I think there communicating telepathically."

A.N.- Reviews get me to update faster. Hopefully lol.
