"Okay, and who's this Alexa?" Gunn asked them, as both Spike and Angel looked at him. "I take it that she's a vamp that you both know."

"You could say that," Angel said, as he headed for his car. "It's someone we knew from a long time ago."

"Oh, that's great news."

"No, it isn't, mate," Spike said to him, as he came up to them. "We can't remember who she is."

"But you just said her name?" Fred pointed out.

"That's about all that we remember of her. Darla cast a spell on us, so that we wouldn't remember her."

"Okay, but why didn't she attack you guys when she had the chance?"

"Because she trusts us," Angel said, as he paused beside his car. "She always trusted us to be there for her and we let her down. Even after that, she still trusts us. We're the only 'family' that she has ever had."

"Maybe we can find a spell that will release you from the spell Darla put on you?" Fred said, as she turned to face Wesley. "That way they can at least remember her."

"We could try."

"I need a drink," Spike said, as he headed for Angel's car. "Want to join me, Angelus?'

"Sure, why not."

"It makes you think though."

"What does, Spike?"

"About why Darla cast the spell so that we wouldn't remember Alexa."

"Yeah, it does." Angel started the car, put it in gear, and they were off.

"Careful, William," a voice whispered from the shadows and Spike turned to see Alexa standing there for a second then was gone.

"Damn girl's gonna be trouble," Spike said, as he looked back at Angel. They came to the parking lot of Wolfram and Heart. "Okay, this wasn't what I had in mind for getting a drink."

"We need to talk to Wesley first about breaking the spell," Angel replied, as they headed for the elevator. Angel paused for a split second before he spun around and blocked Alexa's attack. He yanked the spike from her hand and tossed it to Spike. "Hello, again, Alexa."

"And you trust her?" Spike asked, as he came up to Angel's side. "After she tried to stake you in the heart with a spike?"

"I used to trust her." Angel yanked her close to him and off the ground. "Why are you attacking us?"

"You left me to die," she said, as she fought to free herself. "You, Darla, Dru, and William left me to die."

"Hang on, we didn't," Spike said, as he shot a glance at her.

"Yes, you did." Angel then noticed the scar that went alongside the right side of her face.

"No, Spike, she's right, we left her behind."

"What?"

"We left her for the mob to deal with. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, that's correct." Angel released her and she ran a hand through her hair. "Lucky for me, I posses a power that gets me out of trouble."

"What power is that, love?" Spike asked.

"She can be ignored because she looks average," Angel said, as he looked at them. "We are going to get the spell reversed, so that we can remember who you are."

"Is that such a smart idea?" She bit on her lower lip before looking at them again. "Darla went through a lot of trouble trying to get me out of your lives, and she succeeded only with a spell."

"Makes you think about what kind of vampire she is," Wesley said, as he came up behind them. "I have located the spell. Do you wish to use it?"

"Yes, we do," Angel said, as he looked at Alexa. "I want to remember her for who she really is."

"Me too," Spike put in. "I want to know why on earth that I sired her."

"You sired me because you were too drunk to realize what you were doing," Alexa said, as she took a few steps back, as Gunn, Fred, and Lorne joined the group. "I never asked to become this."

"But you are what you are because of Spike," Gunn said, as he looked over at her. "You're still a vampire."

"Do you want to become one?" Alexa asked him, as she crossed her arms over her black coat. "I could use some minions."

"No thanks."

"Suit yourself." She then turned her attention to Wesley who was saying the reversal spell. "This should be interesting."

After Wesley was done with the spell, a yellow light surrounded both vampires and they dropped to their knees. "You guys okay?" Fred asked, as she rushed over to their sides only to get thrown back as she hit a force field of some sort. "Ouch."

"Could have told you that was gonna happen," Alexa said, as she watched their faces morphed into their vampire ones. "A history has been hidden from you. A history you must now see. Open your eyes and see what was hidden. The past you must now see." The yellow light flashed once more around them and then was gone. "Now comes the time of truth. Will they remember me?"

"Bloody hell," Spiked mumbled, as he struggled to his feet. "Anybody catch that bugger who hit me?" He then shot a glance over in Alexa's direction. "Hello, Lex."

"Ow," Angel said, as he stumbled into Spike. "That hurt." He too shot a glance over at Alexa. "Hello, Lex."

"It worked," Gunn said, as he helped Fred to her feet. "You guys remember her."

"Looks that way," Spike said, as he brushed off his clothes. "How you been, love?"

"I've done all right by myself," she replied, as she watched Angel brush off his clothing. "Are you all right, Angelus?"

"Yeah, Lex, I'm good," Angel said, as he looked up at her. "And I'm sorry that we left you behind. We had no right to do that to you."

"Damn, Darla and her spell," Spike sneered, as his face morphed back to his human one. "We left you there to die."

"Darla made it so that we saw her but didn't recognize her. That's why we didn't feel any remorse for leaving her behind to die."

"I hate to break up the reunion guys, but they don't look friendly," Gunn said, causing the vampires to look past Alexa to see the pack of Zombies towards them.

"What do you want?" Alexa asked the zombies as she turned to face them.

"We are to kill you," the leader said, as he looked at her. "Because you broke the spell."

"Oh, fun." The zombies then attacked them. "Just want I wanted, a zombie attack."
