"Spike, this is Devi. Devi, Spike." Dawn introduced while hanging up her jacket. "Spike is not a day person." Dawn kidded at his disheveled look. Devi was still staring over at him and he was doing the same.

"Course not, he's a vampire." Devi said in an unplaceable accent. Dawn's look of alarm got Devi's attention.

"How did you know?" Dawn whispered. Spike stood up to get a better look at this ghost from his past. Both girls looked up at him as he stared down at Devi. His hand raised he brushed it against her round cheek. She smiled at him lightly, responded with a tight hug. Dawn was totally confused.

"Explain, now!" Devi led Dawn into the living room and sat her down on the couch as she took a seat next to Spike on the coffee table. Unconsciously Spike and Devi held hands.

"Drusilla captured her and brought her to me as a new pet. Devi fought back as best she could, Dru got angry and hit her over the head with something. Knocking her unconscious." Spike told.

"I couldn't kill her, I felt it within me that she was special, part of my human blood line. My great great grand niece." Spike picked up the story in a happier tone. "I thought she was human, and she would have died from the head wound, is she was. So I gave her my blood, to turn her."

"It was kind of sweet actually, him trying to save a life. Although, as I have told you already, Dawn, I am an Aortaphyn. The wound would have healed in a short time if he hadn't bothered. The blood he gave me changed my strength only slightly, and when I woke he expected me to be a vampire." Devieana selected her words with care.

"What a surprise for me when she wasn't.," Spike looked over at Devi. "But she explained it to all to us. I spent time with her, enjoyed the not so insane company. Dru was jealous that I was spending so much time with her. So she told me that I had to send her away or Dru would kill her. I couldn't let her be killed, so I sent her away. I haven't seen you since that night." Spike directed this last part to Devieana.

"A lot has changed. You have a chip now." Devi touched his head softly. Spike looked up confused. "Dawn will you explain, I don't want to remember." Devieana stood and went into the kitchen. Spike looked heartbroken, what couldn't she tell me herself. Seeing this lonely look show on Spike's face Dawn picked up where she left off.

"The Initiative took her and experimented on her. She is now this, machine thing. They forced her to drink demon blood. Devi said it wasn't bad, considering she got stronger from it. But the scientists would sedate her, knock her unconscious, and experiment surgeries on her. I understand her not being able to tell you herself. When she told me she couldn't keep from crying." Dawn said this last part comfortingly.

"Turns out, they imbedded a computer system in me. I have all of their files. Every demon captured all throughout the world, what was done to each one, and about Adam. Which I heard you guys helped destroy." She looked at Spike who was surprised at her come back. She lent against the doorframe into the living room. "That's why I came here. The chips send out signals, my computer can track them. I learnt how to use the entire system over two years. Your file, was in the dangerous category. Which should make you feel all high and mighty since all the other vampires had only minor danger ratings." Devi smiled at him. Spike was amazed, meeting her again, learning all of this about her. Seeing Sanah reflected in those eyes. Those eyes, the reason I didn't kill her.
