Los Angelos, Present Day:

Late at night on the day Buffy had talked to Willow about Giles she walked down into the kitchen. She knew that Giles would be there and she was hoping he could help her figure some things out. When she walked through the door Giles looked up and gave her an apologetic look that she didn't understand.

"Willow told me about your dreams," Giles said, "so you want to know who Becky was?" Buffy nodded and sat down at the table across from him.

"Was?" Buffy asked, watching impatiently as Giles took his glasses off and cleaned them. He didn't say anything until he had them back on.

"Becky was a vampire," Giles said, his face expressionless as he watched Buffy, "she was sired by Spike in 1910 and she was killed in 1953." Buffy gave Giles a suspicious look. She knew that the Watcher's Council hadn't kept track of every vampire that was sired and killed so why did they know so much about this one?

"What made her special?" Buffy asked, watching a surprised expression come over Giles' face, "why did the council take the time to learn so much about her?" Giles watched Buffy for a minute before he continued.

"The counsel watched Spike," Giles began, "he was exactly the kind of person vampires go after." Buffy nodded but didn't respond, letting Giles continue explaining.

"When he was sired it didn't occur to them how important Bridgett was," Giles said, staring into Buffy's eyes, "it wasn't until Becky was sired that they began to notice the unusual coincidence and then when you came along they we're convinced."

"Convinced about what?" Buffy asked in confusion.

"Well, they we're convinced that the destiny would be fulfilled," Giles said, glancing down at the table, "or that at least it would have been fulfilled." Buffy shook her head, still confused.

"What are you talking about? What destiny?" Buffy asked. Giles sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"No slayer was ever supposed to know," Giles said, "the Counsel did a spell. A vampire was supposed to fall in love with a slayer but when the first slayer was killed because of the spell they reversed it."

"And Spike fell in love with me," Buffy said. Giles nodded and started to get up but Buffy stopped him, "then the spell really worked?" Giles shook his head and stared out the window.

"The spell couldn't have worked, Buffy," Giles said, "it was destroyed. He just really loved you."

I'm think about writing another story that adds onto this but I'm not sure yet.
