CHAPTER FOUR: Allies and Family
Joyce hugged Buffy tightly with tears of joy both were happy to be reunited.
Buffy pulled away slightly and looked at Isabella.
"You pulled my mother out of heaven?" Buffy asked dreading the response.
"No, Chosen One all of the deceased have been in what you would call stasis. While in stasis I have given them the images that I've given both of you. If you notice Faith, Oz, and Dawn are not aware of what is going on, yet. They are frozen in time. When I awake them they will also be given those images." Isabella said.
Buffy looked around at her allies.
"Oh my God, Merrick." Buffy said moving from her mother.
She went to Merrick and hugged her first watcher. She knew without of doubt that Merrick would never betray her.
"My dear girl you've grown into a beautiful woman. I'm so proud of you." Merrick said smiling.
"I've missed you." Buffy said releasing him from her hug.
"I have missed you too, dear girl. We will catch up later. Right now there are others you must say hello too." Merrick said smiling.
Buffy smiled and nodded her head. She smiled when she saw Tara and hugged the white witch.
"Tara, oh Tara I've missed you."
Tara smiled and said, "Buffy your aura is so beautiful."
"Glenda." Spike said with a slight nod,
"Hey Spike." Tara said smiling shyly waving at him.
Buffy smiled and stood in front of Anya.
"Anya I'm so sorry." Buffy said.
Buffy surprised Anya with a hug. Anya smiled feeling accepted by Buffy.
Spike notice Wesley standing there looking a little confused.
"Wesley, I was saddened to hear from Illyria about your death." Spike said extending his hand in friendship.
"Oh yes, well it seems I'm not dead after all." Wesley responded accept Spike's hand in friendship.
Buffy turned to see both Wesley and Spike shaking hands.
"Buffy." Wesley said.
Buffy smiled and said, "Wesley."
Then Buffy's eyes widen in shock she could not believe her eyes. This had to be a joke. She thought.
"Sssspike, my dark prince, the pixies have form."
Spike eyes widen and said, "Bloody hell."
Both Buffy and Spike's attention were drawn to Drusilla swaying to her own tune. She had a smiled on her face.
"Oh pretty pixies finally have faces." Dru continued to sway while clapping in delight.
"No need to worry, William she will not harm anyone here." Isabella stated.
"Dru?" Buffy asked part disbelief and disgust.
"Remember Chosen One these are your true allies. I did say some will come as a surprise. Well surprise." Isabella said with humor.
"So not funny." Buffy responded putting her hand on her hips.
Isabella smirked and said, "If you give me a moment I need to see to the Seer first. We will get started. All will be revealed in time."
Spike however kept his eyes on Drusilla. He put himself between Dru and Buffy in case Dru decided to attack anyone he would have to stop his Sire.
Buffy watching Spike place himself in front of her, she made her way towards her mother again. She had a feeling she was going to need her mother for what was still to come.
"Everything happens for a reason, Buffy." Joyce said quietly.
Buffy nodded her head.
Isabella walked over to where Dru was standing and she place her hand on Dru's unbeating heart a golden light glowed into Drusilla's body.
"Drusilla, I give you back your soul, you will be at peace with yourself. Your sanity will come back slowly. You will be my Seer and will help The Chosen One and Her Vampire Champion. You will help them defeat your daddy and once this is accomplished he will become your mate. Your heart has always belonged to him just as his heart was always belonged to you. It was Liam side that fell in love with you. It was the reason why Angelus turned you. Both are selfish and they both want you. He will not be able to corrupt you again. You will keep him in line." Isabella said.
"Bloody hell."
"Oh my God."
Isabella turned to both Spike and Buffy.
"It's the reason why Angel was never able to kill Drusilla. Liam and Angelus would never allow any real harm to come to Drusilla. They both love her in their own way." Isabella explained.
"I have a pretty spark again, my dark prince. Fear not Sunshine I made my dark prince for you." Drusilla said tilting her and said then said, "Daddy has been a bad doggie no tea for him."
"Shh child." Isabella said to Dru.
Isabella moved to Wesley. "Rogue demon hunter and watcher you will help the Vampire Champion and the Chosen One defeat those who have betrayed them. Your researching skills surpass those who have been before you. Your magical skills will help the white witch. Both of you will keep each other from the corruption of dark magic. You will fall in love again to a woman who is completely opposite to your shyness. Do not fear her past."
Isabella touched Wesley head and a soft blue light surge into his body giving him knowledge.
Isabella turned to Anya, "Anyanka, the ex-vengeance demon I give you all of your powers back. You will help the Chosen One and her Vampire Champion. You have lived a long life and your knowledge of demos and other dimension will be a great deal of help. Your love of money will also be helpful to allies. You will teach The Key about her powers as they are common to yours. You will find love again. One who will not degrade you or make you feel less. Remember child be who you are without felling guilty. Your honesty is a gift to other."
Isabella touched Anya's heart and a light red flowed into Anya's body
"Hopefully this new love will give me lots of orgasms." Anya said smiling.
Buffy and Spike tried not to laugh out loud. The both ended up doing so anyways.
Isabella smiled find the laughter refreshing.
Isabella then looked to Tara. Tara ducking her head she hated being the center of attention. Isabella walked over to Tara and gently lifted her chin up to look into her eyes. A white light flowed into Tara's body.
"Tara, you of all people have a white soul. Which in turn makes you a white witch; you are connected to Mother Earth. Your connection to all living creatures is what makes you the most powerful witch ever. You are the strongest ally that the Chosen One and her Vampire Champion have. As with Wesley and Anya their knowledge will keep you grounded to what is real. The dark witch's power will almost match yours. The test is at hand if she is deserving of you. You will know in your heart and will be able to forgive the sins. Should she fail you will not feel any guilt of her losing her magic and you thus is the punishment that is required. You will move on to find another great love that will deserve your heart."
Isabella turned to Merrick and said, "Merrick, the first watcher to The Chosen One. You learned early and in a short time to respect her ways. You saw her potential from the beginning. You are a true friend. You are an immortal being will have access to me directly should need arise. You will help the Chosen One and her Vampire Champion as the paternal figure to the allies. You will also teach the teacher and bigot tolerance. Should they fail you will know what to do."
Isabella touched Merrick's head and a soft yellow light flowed into his body.
She then walked over to Joyce and said, "You have been special from the beginning. I knew I made the right choice for you to be the Mother to the Chosen One. You are strong in your unconditional love for your child. You will voice your opinions to those who speak ill of your love ones. You will be a Seer, because of your maternal instincts. You will know when any of the allies are in danger. Your maternal nurturing will guide your daughter and her Champion. It was you that nature that let you accept William from the beginning. You are the maternal figure to them all."
Isabella placed her hand on Joyce's heart a golden light flowed into her body.
Isabella then walked over to Oz. She touched first his head and then his heart waking him up from his frozen state. While waking him she gave him images of what is to come. A dark blue light flowed into his body.
"Oz, the werewolf you have been chosen to be a warrior now and will help both Buffy and Spike. You will now be able to control the rage to your werewolf inside. You will also help the white witch as you have knowledge of the dark witch. You have the ability to fall in love again do so it will not be discarded."
Isabella moved to Faith doing the same thing she did with Oz. She first touched her head then her heart. A dark red light flowed into Faith's body. Faith eyes opened.
"Faith, sister Slayer you will once again be need by your sister side. The two of you have been used by men as a weapon. Your knowledge of dark and light will help you all. You soon will be award with your own champion. He will be worthy of your heart and soul. He will fight for you showing you a love you have never know before. You will find happiness for the first time in your life."
Isabella slowly made her way to the last person who was frozen.
"Buffy and Spike please each of you take Dawn's hand into your own." Isabella said finally standing in front of Dawn.
Both Buffy and Spike looked at each other in confusion. Doing what they were told. Each holding Dawn's hand.
Isabella knew the last of the lies and interferences was about to be revealed.
"Spike I need you to bring your demon out."
Spike looked at Isabella with a curious look, and again complied. Spike shifted into his game face.
Isabella place one hand on Dawn's head and the other on her heart. A yellow light began to form on Buffy's hand and a blue light began to form on Spike's hand both lights engulfing Dawn's body. A bright green light swirled around Dawn's body. Dawn's eyes opened.
"Dawn you were made from the blood of Buffy and Spike. Thus you are their child. You are the Key and heart of the Chosen One and her Vampire Champion. You are the greatest gift given to both your mother and father. You are immortal just as your parents are. You will help them protect Earth. Your parents needed you now thus the reason for your arrival fully grown. Your powers will begin to show now that the truth has been revealed. You will see them as your parents and have the relationship that you have now. You will also find love with a vampire who is of the same line as your father. He is undone now but will come to you when you least expected."
"Dawn is our daughter?" Both Spike and Buffy asked at the same time and in awe.
Dawn squealed in delight hugging her parents. She suddenly felt at home in their arms.
"Chosen One and her Vampire Champion these are your allies and family. Now you are ready to go back and face what is to come." Isabella said.
Well I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Anyone surprised that I gave Dru her soul back? Keep those reviews coming. Next chapter we find out what Buffy and Spike have to do to save Earth.
Also I'm wondering if either Buffy or Spike like the idea that Dawn is going to be mated with a Vampire. I wonder who it can be any guesses?
