Chapter 2
Buffy's eyes were still cast down. She let out a sigh.
'Oh what the hell…died twice before…third time lucky' Her mind joked, making her smile slightly. If it really was the end, then she wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore, she'd be at peace, back with her mother and so many others now. She was ready…Buffy looked back up to see what was coming to her but instead of that she saw that the entire room was frozen as if they were statues.
Buffy was completely speechless, she jumped on her feet forgetting about her wound and circled Kennedy who has lowered the scythe which in no doubt would've split her in two equals.
"Don't touch them" Came a female voice behind her. Buffy turned around and saw a brunette surrounded by other two women.
"What's going on?" She asked, instantly alert
"Sorry we're late…we were sent here by Elders, they mentioned that you might need help." Another brunette said
"A bit late for that. They're all dead" she commented dryly and looked at the bodies that less than twenty minutes ago had the power of the Slayer, that were full of life and confidence.
"What happened here?" Another woman asked as she walked towards Buffy and helped her up.
"War. Who are you people?"
"I'm Phoebe. And these are my sisters Piper and Paige. We're the Charmed ones…" The woman began, but was interrupted by Piper.
"We're good witches, we're here to help you"
"Can you bring them back?" Buffy asked, hope shining in her eyes.
"No" Paige replied sadly.
"But we can bring you back" Piper said and walked towards her.
"Here, the Elders told us to give this to you" Piper said as she pulled out a ring out of her pocket. The ring was no other than the Gem of Amara.
"How?" Buffy asked as she studied the ring in her hand.
"We can bring you back in time, so you can stop this. It wasn't meant to happen like this" Phoebe said.
"What about the consequences of the future being changed?" Buffy asked
"Apparently there's nothing left to change" Paige replied coldly.
"The Elders didn't see something like this coming. They thought that you and others had it under control. They never knew that the power could be converted into something evil…"
"Yeah, well it has. So now the whole world is doomed" she barked, stunned at the cruelty of her tone.
"Yes, but we can change that…You can change that. You will still have the memory of what happened, so you'll know what to do"
"Ok" Buffy whispered.
"Oh and, by the way. That necklace would'vekilled him in the end. His soul would be the price to pay for the Hell mouth to be closed. Just thought you might want to know before you give it to him again" Paige said and stepped back joining her sisters who pulled out a small piece of paper.
"Ready?" Phoebe asked.
"Thanks…" Buffy said and nodded her head.
"Here we go" Piper whispered before the three of them said the words in unison.
Hear these words, hear the rhyme
Heed the hope within her mind
Send her back to where she'll find
What she wishes in place and time
As the words were said golden orbs surrounded Buffy's body, and in a flash she was gone.
She kept her eyes shut. So many thoughts and memories flashed in her mind, she wasn't sure which one the spell would pick.
"Is this a joke?" She heard harsh male voice.
"You don't wanna mess with us." She heard her little sister's voice. "
"And …you're not just dealing with, uh, two little girls." Another voice that belonged to Giles
"You're dealing with all of us." Another one…. Tears escaped her closed eyes. Never before did she feel this happy. She was given another chance, not only to save the world but also to save them from the future mistakes. . She was so glad that they were all alive and well. She knew she's do everything in her power to keep it that way
"'Cept me." As she heard those words her eyes snapped open. The last time she heard his voice, was before he was a pile of dust. Tears streamed down her face now.
"Spike" She whispered his name. She slowly turned around to face him forgetting that there was some argument that they were in the middle of.
"What's wrong?" was all he managed to say as he looked at her. She saw the look in his eyes in was concern, almost the same look just before he moved her out of Kennedy's way.
Not caring what anyone else would think she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him like there was no tomorrow.
"Good Lord Buffy. What on earth do you thing you're doing?" Giles asked. This has been such a long day for him, first Tara's family showing up, then her casting a spell that nearly got them all killed and now the spell backfired and made Buffy kiss the evil fiend…not a very pleasant sight for him as he saw…or rather heard it all before.
He took his glasses off cleaning them with frustration. He heard something crack.
"Bloody hell" He cursed under his breath in a very Spike-like manner as he removed his handkerchief from his crushed glasses.
She pulled away only to see the look of hurt and confusion on his beautiful features.
"Alright you people can just pack up and leave, because she's not going anywhere and you are not gonna force her. She belongs with us." Buffy said as she walked towards the older man glaring at him
"This is insane. You people have no right to interfere with Tara's affairs. We ... are her blood kin! Who the hell are you?"
"Someone who will protect and care about her. We're her family. She's better off with us" Buffy said and put her hand on her hip. She knew that it was true but the flashes of Tara's body at the morgue challenged her brain if it was really so. Now Buffy knew that she would stop that from happening and she'll also stop Xander leaving Anya at the alter.
"Well. I hope you'll all be happy hanging out with a disgusting demon." Tara's cousin spat out.
"I've heard enough" Buffy announced as she walked towards Beth and grabbed her by her hair.
"If there actually is a disgusting demon in the family that would be you, prissy little bitch" Buffy said through gritted teeth as she pushed her out the door with her Slayer strength.
"Leave or I will throw you out as well"
"Dad. You… you gonna let 'em just... Tara, if you don't get in that car, I swear by god I will beat you down." Her brother Donny yelled.
Buffy could see that it wasn't just a threat. He probably beat her up before, she came to that conclusion as she saw Tara flinch at the harshness of his tone.
"If you don't leave now. I promise, you won't have much to leave with" Buffy said her voice low, calm and cold. She was pretty close to losing it, and everyone in the room except those three knew that a pissed off slayer is bad news.
"Tara. For eighteen years your family has taken care of you and supported you. If you want to turn your back…" Her father began but was interrupted by his daughter.
"Dad ... just go." Tara whispered, but everyone heard her.
Tara's father and brother shot her a final glare before slamming the door of the Magic Box.
"Now we have to fix Buffy" Xander said as he saw Buffy's gaze on Spike.
"No, Right now we need to celebrate Tara's birthday" Willow said with a smile.
Bronze…
The Scooby gang sat in a group as Tara opened her presents. The lot of them were talking and laughing if felt so good for things to be back to normal. Buffy was leaning against a pole, watching the action with a smile. They really were her family. But there was something missing…or rather someone. She stood there in the shadows watching them from distance. She remembered how Spike once told her that she belonged with him in the dark…maybe he was right. Her thoughts were interrupted.
"Sorry I'm late." Riley said and leaned in to kiss her but Buffy turned her face in the last second so his lips connected with her cheek.
"Buffy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing…. everything is as it should be" She said as she walked past him and out the door. Leaving Riley disappointed and confused.
A/N...tell me what you think...by hitting that button. Oh and umm there might be some Riley bashing...i'n not sure yet but personally he kinda pisses me off...
