A.N hey a big shout out to all who have reviewed to my story. This being my first fic ever means a lot to me. I'll try to update at least once a week but if I can I'll update sooner but no promises.

Chapt 3

After a second cup of tea, Buffy saw how late it was and decided to head home so Spike could get back to his crypt before sunrise.

Though they both knew she could never love him, they had become close friends.

Buffy's thoughts were not very pleasant while she walked home.

'Why was I sent back, what does it mean that I still can't control my new powers, I've been back six months and things haven't gotten better in fact they've gotten worse.'

A rustle in the bushes made her pause. Reaching out with her senses, she felt three vamps.

Deciding not to waste any more time, she quickly walked around the bush and ambushed the blood suckers.

"The dead should stay quiet"

She walked back to the path and continued home, the night obeyed her command and stayed quiet.

Willow did want to linger after Buffy had left, she missed Tara and the phone call she had with Angel, also made her worried.

She was thankful she only thought that she wished Angel was there now, and not on his way here.

Despite what Buffy said she knew Angel could help her best friend; find control and one day maybe some peace.

She felt a presence behind her, instead of panicking, like she would've done two years ago, Willow used her magic to bind the person.

It wasn't until she heard the strangers voice, did she realize that she wasn't in any danger.

"So I see you've learned some new tricks" Willow turned around with eye wide wonder.

"God Angel I knew you said that you were coming, but I thought it would still be a couple of days"
Angel laughed as Willow rambled. He was glad to know something's didn't change.

"Something's wrong with Buffy, anything else can wait. She's my world Willow, I can't, won't lose her again" he noticed the completely devastated look on her face.

"Oh Angel, you really are here" tears leaked out of her eyes.

'Could things be worst then I thought' Angel wondered as he waited for Willow to pull herself together.
"Willow she can't be that bad" but Willow only shook her head, and turned away.

"We should discuss this with Giles."

"Uh.. Willow, think you can release me" Angel fell as the pressure that was holding him up suddenly disappeared.

"Come on, I prefer not to wake him" And with that they left to see the watcher about his slayer who was in danger from herself.

Buffy entered her house and hanged up her jacket.

When she came into the living room the first thing she noticed was that Dawn was still up. However she failed to notice the worried look her little sister gave her as she approached.

"Spike what is Dawn still doing up, I know you've got a soft spot for her, but please she has school in the morning and can't be late again."

"Buffy there is something you need to know, something that couldn't wait until morning" Spike looked at Buffy fully concerned about her reaction to the news.
"what is so important that it could risk Dawn getting taken away, because I can't look after her" Buffy demanded, it was the thing she feared the most that social services will take Dawn away.

"That's not going to be an issue anymore you won't be looking after her by your self anymore" It was then, that Buffy noticed another presence in the room.

Turning around she came face to face to a man she thought she would never see again, especially since his no show at their mother's funeral. She looked at her fathers face and felt herself losing control.

Giles had just finished washing up the cups he and Buffy had been using when a knock came at his door. Puzzled at who could be calling at this hour he grabbed a cross just in case.

When he opened the door he almost received a heart attack at the sight of Angel, it actually took him a couple of minutes to notice that Willow was there with the creature who owned his Slayers heart.

" Giles do you think you could let us in, it's not exactly warm out here" Willows voice helped Giles gather his manners and moved aside to let them in.

"Thanks you think I could call Tara, you know she gets worried when I'm out late." Willow didn't wait for an answer and just grabbed the phone.

"So I'm guessing Tara is more then a roommate." Angel directed towards Giles
"Yes she and Willow have been going out for over a year now, didn't she mention it" Giles was only a little uncomfortable with Angel being in his house, it brought up a lot of unpleasant memories.

"So may I inquire as to why you are here." Giles poured tea for himself and Willow, he motioned to see if Angel would like any and was surprised when he nodded yes.
"Lets just say that I got an S.O.S message from Buffy" Angel said

" Oh so she knows you're here then, cause after the last time you came without her knowing…. well lets just say I don't want a repeat" Giles remembered how much Buffy was hurt that they all knew Angel had been there and didn't tell her.

"Not yet, I was planning on seeing her after I found Willow but she insisted that we came here first, without telling me what's wrong with her." Angel's anger at being left out started to show as his eyes flashed amber.

Giles looked shocked at how little the vampire knew, so he decided that it would be better to not try his patience. "Yes well it's kind of a long story so get comfortable."

Giles explained how he got a phone call about six months ago from a very excited Willow, explaining that Buffy was back. He had doubted at first and just thought the blooming wicca had let her grief over take her and started to hallucinate.
Giles paused as Willow came back. He then went on to explain that as soon as he saw her, he knew something was up. It took a while but Buffy finally stated that she had been in heaven the whole time.

Angel just nodded he had known this, but what Giles said next shocked him to his very soul.

About 1 week after I had arrived Willow, Tara and I noticed that something had changed in Buffy's energy. Not only had her slayer abilities been boosted, but she now contained as much power as about Tara. At first nothing happened she didn't even seem to know she had it, but sometimes she would answer people when they hadn't said anything at all, and at other times items around her began to levitate.

We continued to watch her, believing that her powers were not a danger. That was until the second week. Angel noticed the dark looks on both Willow and Giles as they remembered that moment. Not being able to take not knowing he stirred them out of their reverie.

"She had a nightmare, you see we didn't know she had come back, and who ever did send her back wasn't nice enough to leave her out of her grave." It was Willow who was now talking. Angel clicked immediately "She had to dig herself up didn't she" he thought he was going to sick.

'How could she never of told me, why does she always have to keep her emotions secret'
Angel felt angry at Buffy and himself then.

"We don't know exactly what she was dreaming, but we know it had something to do with her return and her grave."
"So she had a nightmare, so what, it wasn't like it could hurt anyone right" Angel knew he was just grabbing for straws.

"A wicca's control and power are linked to their emotions, Angel, She almost destroyed her entire bedroom and herself". Willow was close to tears at how close she came to losing Buffy, so shortly after getting her back.

Giles continued " After that she became consciously aware of her new powers, before she didn't know so they only presented themselves once in a while, but after that night she couldn't control them, Willow and I have spent hours helping her but sometimes they get to much. Especially when she gets emotional."

"But it's not like that happens a lot, you know Buffy she hardly ever cries" Angel just couldn't get the problem.

"Exactly she hides them until its too much for her to take, then she just releases them in one big wave, now its far too dangerous for her to do that." Willow explained patiently

Any other communication was killed as they all felt the power rising.

"Willow help me" they all heard Buffy's distress voiced

"BUFFY" Angel was the door before Willow or Giles could even react.

"Willow help me" Buffy cried trying hard to regain control of her emotions. It was just to much and Buffy felt her self control melt away.

"Dawn come on we have to leave" Spike grabbed Dawn's hand and started to drag her towards the front door.

"But Spike we can't leave her like that" Dawn was now tugging on Spikes arm trying to break free oh his hold on her.

"We have to, and you know it, hey Hank if you don't want to get hurt you might wanna get out of the house"

Buffy's dad had no idea what was going on but quickly began to make for the door, that was what he was planning if he was able to move.

"Where do you think your going dad?" Buffy called to him

"Buffy Stop" Dawn screamed before Spike finally got her outside.
