Chapter 5

"Pet what were you doing?" he winces in pain.

I see him in pain, all the burn marks, and feel like I have done something terribly wrong. Who the heck is messing with time? "Spikey you okay?" I look in worry at him. "I didn't realize what I was doing."

"There seems to be a lot of that recently," he comments. "Something weird is happening pet, I feel sure we were doing something totally different a minute ago."

He finally caught on. Are other people realizing something weird or is it just us? "Who do you think it was?"

He stands up, "I don't know who but, I'll check out Willy's later."

"You shouldn't go if you're in pain, just get on of the henchman to do it," I look at him in worry, not wanting him to get hurt. In that bar in his current condition, he could be killed.

He see's my worry, "Pet, it will be alright, I been through worse before. What ever it is won't hurt you," he thinks back to his past when Angel used to torture him, and dismisses them. He had to be strong for Dru's sake.

"Okay," I had a strange feeling about this. Something weird is going to happen.

"Angel," Willow sees him and sadness goes through her. "What happened to you?"

"Some witches are screwing with time, and this was how I was after with my little torture session with Dru," he winces in pain.

"Do you know who it is," Xander appears out of nowhere.

"No," he lies. Truth was he knew but, would kill them to find out. "I know it was two people one goes by the name Crystal."

"Spike, I swear I don't know anything."

"Sure you don't Willy," he punches him. "Now lets try this again, who was it?"

"Spike, he's telling the truth," Buffy pulls his fist back.

"Who are you?" He sees his other self, "This is impossible there's only one me."

"I'm Buffy."

"You, you're the slayer? You look kind of old to be in high school."

"Spike, me and the other you are from the future."

"And I've had too many drinks."

"Whatever, your still a pain in the ass I see."

"Hey!"

"Well you are. I came to warn you of the evils."

"Who are they then?"

"One is future Willow, the other is Crystal."

"Anything else?"

"Just remember, not everyone's who they say they are."

"Did you guys here there's a new teacher?" Xander tells Willow.

"Oh yeah. Since our other teacher Dan Coltrane had been killed by a jaguar incarnation of the Aztec god, Tezcatlipoca."

"Yeah, everything is not what it seems, when you live on the hell mouth," Xander states.

The teacher walks in, "Hi, I'm your new teacher, call me Mrs. Gordon," she introduces herself.

"Now let's take attendance." She gets down to near the bottom of the list, "Is a Faith here?" she looks around.

Faith walks in, "Did I miss anything?" she asks and takes a seat.

"Who are you?" Xander checks out the new girl.

"Faith and you are Willow and Xander."

"Yeah, how did you know?" Willow looks confused.

"You guys are the slayers posse."
