Hey everyone sorry for this chapter being late. I've been tired with remodeling the kitchen, but at last I'm getting a new kitchen:)
Ok so I wanted to Thank all you for reviewing. Please continue to review it makes me want to write. I'm working on Chapter 11 tomorrow and it should be up on Sunday.
Now on to the story: watch out for hints on the "Bad guy"
CHAPTER TEN: The Allies and the Scoobies
Giles stood completely stunned. Buffy had walked away from him again. She not only walked away, but revealed two things to them. She is mated to Spike, and Dawn is her daughter. 'How was that possible?' He thought. He couldn't figure out where everything had gone wrong. All he really wanted for Buffy was to be happy. She had suffered so much already. He truly couldn't stand it if something were to happen to her again. He had already gone through that when she died that summer.
"Buffy." Willow and Xander called out at the same time.
"What are we going to do? She is talking crazy. There has to be something absolutely wrong with her." Xander stated.
"We will regroup. And think of some way to get her to listen to us." Giles said with tears forming in his eyes.
Joyce, Tara, Anya, Wesley and Oz came out from the shadows. They stood next to Merrick looking at the Scoobies and Watcher.
"Did you not listen to her? There is nothing wrong with her. She needs time away from all of you. Why do you not comply with her wishes?" Merrick asked shaking his head.
"Who the hell are you? Why should we even listen to you? You are probably some demon." Xander spat out angrily still believing in his belief that Spike had paid demons to impersonate these people he was seeing.
"Alexander Lavelle Harris, could you be anymore rude." Anya stated shaking her head.
Xander looked at Anya with such hatred. He still didn't believe his one eye. He was angry. He walked up to her, and he got in her face.
"You are not Anya! Show me your true ugly face demon."
Then he did something that Anya never thought he would do. He spat in her face. Anya felt so humiliated. Tears began to form in her eyes as she wiped her face. The next thing she knew Xander was on ground rubbing his jaw.
"How dare you do such thing? It was uncalled for Xander. I do believe you owe her an apology." Wesley stated rubbing his hand.
Xander got up to his feet ready to hit Wesley. Giles stepped in.
"Enough Xander I agree with Wesley." Giles stated angrily.
"Giles don't you see they are all demons!"
Anya smiled at Wesley and said, "Thank you Wesley."
"Xander, we are not demons. The Powers That Be brought us here to help Buffy and Spike." Tara said quietly.
For once Tara didn't put her head down. She wasn't completely shocked at Xander's behavior. She began reading their auras. Xander's aura revealed hatred and deception. It was consuming his soul. She then quietly checked Willow's aura it was beginning to turn black and red. Clearly Willow hasn't learned a thing. Tara turned to Giles and was shocked. His aura revealed a spell. Someone was controlling him. And she knew it without a doubt Willow. Willow was control Giles.
"Tara, baby what is going on?" Willow asked walking towards Tara attempting to pull her into a hug.
"My God Willow, no how could you?" Tara stated with disgust in her face.
Tara turned to Giles and what she would say next will shock not only Mr. Giles but her allies.
"Mr. Giles, do you know you are under a compulsion spell?"
"WHAT!?" Giles eyes widen in shock.
(Buffy and Spike)
They walked silently side by side. Too much had happened tonight. They almost lost their daughter.
'Pet you alright? Spike said in Buffy's head.
Buffy shook her head.
'I can feel you, Luv. It's the claim. Try concentrating with your thoughts don't say anything out loud.'
Buffy nodded and tried.
'Can you hear me?'
Spike nodded his head.
'I jus- Spike he attacked Dawnie. He went after our daughter. Why would he do that? He was so lucky I didn't have a stake on me. I thought you were going to get there first, but I was surprised to see Dru so protective of Dawn. Who is that guy that saved Dawnie?
'The Poof is very lucky. When I saw him with his hands on Dawnie I wanted to rip him apart. Nobody goes after mine, pet. As for Dru she is very loyal to family. She has feelings for Dawn. She sees Dawn as her granddaughter, and she will do anything to protect Li'Bit from harm. That guy is Sam Lawson. He is Angel's Childe. Don't really know why he save Nibblet. We will find out'
'Can we trust him?'
'Don't know pet?'
Dawn walked side by side next to Sam. She deliberately slowed down. She kept her eyes to the ground but once in a while sneak glances at him.
"Thank you for saving me. I'm Dawn by the way." Dawn said shyly breaking the silence.
"You're welcome Miss Dawn. I'm Sam Lawson."
"Nice to meet you." Dawn said smiling.
Spike stopped walking waiting for Nibblet to catch up.
They reached the house. Buffy opened the door motioning Spike to enter first. She let Dawn pass her before she stopped Lawson at the door.
"You wait here. Spike and I want to talk to you." Buffy stated.
"Yes Ma'am."
Spike placed Dru on the couch. Then nodded at Buffy, and they both walked out to the porch. Spike lit a cigarette and looked at Lawson.
"How? I felt it through the bloodline when Angel dusted you."
"Isabella remade me. She gave me a mission. She sent me here to protect Dawn from Angel. My mission is to always protect Dawn." Sam answered truthful.
Spike and Buffy looked at each other.
'Oh my God, Spike it's him Dawn's mate.'
'Bloody Hell!'
(The Allies and The Scoobies)
"I'm sorry Mr. Giles but I was reading your aura. Your aura is surrounded by a spell." Tara stated quietly.
Willow's eyes widen. 'Oh oh I've been found out. He'll understand it was for our own good.'
Giles turned to look at Willow. He was angry as hell.
Xander and Willow visibly paled. Willow had tears in her eyes.
"You arrogant little girl how dare you do that to me? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
"Giles you don't understand. I can explain." Willow stated ringing her hands nervously.
"Yea Giles you don't understand."
"Both of you shut up. I am beginning to agree with Buffy." Giles said letting his Ripper voice come out.
Giles turned to Tara and said, "Tara, dear I am happy that you are alive. Is it possible to remove it?"
Tara nodded her head. She walked up to Giles placing her hand on his head. She whispered an incantation that Isabella had showed her. Now Giles would not be affected by Willow's magic.
Willow was shocked to see Tara doing powerful magic. Tara was never powerful before. 'I'm the most powerful witch. The cove in England had said so. I'm the big gun.' Willow thought.
Memories started to form in Giles's mind. He was very angry that Willow would do such things. The question was why. If he had to let Ripper out getting those answers he would. Willow had caused him to lose Buffy.
Giles looked to Xander and Willow and said, "Once we are done here we will have a long discussion."
Willow and Xander both swallowed in fear.
"Merrick, I am beginning to see your meaning of us controlling Buffy. Why?"
Merrick looked at Giles unsure if Giles was ready to hear him.
"Please enlighten us."
"Giles before you met Buffy you were one of the most opened minded Watcher there was. You always question the Councils motives. Something happened to you no believe in your instincts."
Giles nodded his head slowly. He knew what happened it was losing Jenny Calander to Angelus. A small part of him blamed Buffy. Oh he knew it wasn't her fault. She was after all a child.
"It was losing Jenny, right Rupert? It's what made up your mind that demons couldn't love or feel." Joyce stated looking at him with compassion.
Joyce knew Giles loved Buffy like a daughter and she really didn't want Buffy to lose that. Giles would have to show her that he could change.
Giles nodded his head and said, "Angel had agreed with us."
"Of course he would agree with you. It was in his best interest for you and the rest of you to believe him. He believes he is the Champion to the Powers, but that is not so. He believes Buffy is prize, which she is not. The true Champion is Spike. He went against his nature to help your Slayer is that not true? Why do you continue to deny that?" Merrick asked looking at Giles.
"Spike? What is with you people and Spike? He is an evil vampire that has tried to kill Buffy, Willow, and me. The only reason he did anything good was to get into Buffy's pants!"
"Xander you are just pissed that Spike did what you never could. Not that Buffy would ever go there with you." Anya stated.
"Shut up."
"No I don't have to I have a right to say what I want. As far as I'm concern you are the true evil here." Anya stated looking at her new friends.
Tara nodded and smiled she was proud that Anya stood up for herself.
"I don't have to listen to this bullshit. Buffy is in danger with Spike." Xander stated.
"Xander get over yourself. Spike would never hurt Buffy." Anya said.
"Xander shut up." Giles said.
Merrick looked at Xander.
"So the reason to control Buffy has been because of your jealously then. If you couldn't have Buffy then no one can?" Merrick stated.
"What about you? What is your reasoning to have placed a compulsion spell on Buffy since Angelus?" Merrick stated turning to Willow.
Willow's eyes widen.
"Oh yes I know what you've been doing, and most importantly so does Buffy."
"Why?" Joyce asked looking about ready to teach Willow a lesson.
"It was for her own good." Xander answered.
"For her own good who are you to know what is good for Buffy. You are not her family." Joyce said.
"We are her best friends and we know what is good for her." Willow stated firmly.
"I can't believe you Willow. How could you do something so horrible to Buffy and Giles?" Oz said breaking his silence.
Willow looked at Oz. She really didn't know why he was here. She didn't understand why everyone was mad.
"I didn't do anything wrong. I was trying to protect us. Why is everyone so upset?"
"Willow you don't have the right to control people."
"Back off Oz, she was doing what was best for all us."
"Xander you don't want to piss me off anymore than I'm already pissed off. You might have to deal with my wolf side." Oz said angrily.
Xander gave him a look like he didn't know Oz.
"What Xander am I evil now too?"
"Oz!" Willow exclaimed.
"You know what I'm sorry Giles. Merrick has tried to explain to you and you seem to be getting it. I can only hope. But these two don't. You need to take care of them first and asked them why they had you and Buffy in a spell. When we feel you are ready to hear more we will come to you." Oz stated walking away.
Oz was upset. He thought he knew Willow. Now it made him worry to think that Willow perhaps used magic on him. 'God, Willow what have you become? She's basically control Buffy all through high school.' He thought shaking his head.
"Mr. Giles, Oz is right. You need to take care of them first." Joyce said and turned to Willow and Xander, "If you try anything I will know and then you will have to deal with me."
Joyce left following Oz. She called out to him. Oz stopped and waited for Joyce.
"Giles, I'm sorry I too will take my leave. I would take him with you, too. You never know with Angel. Angel started this war with Wolfram and Heart and you need to find out why?" Wesley stated pointing at Angel who was still passed out.
"I'll go with you Wesley. There is nothing for me here anymore." Anya said not even looking at Xander.
Merrick and Tara were the only ones left.
Willow looked at Tara trying to get into her mind. Tara stiffened her body knowing Willow was using magic again.
"Tara, please listen to me baby I can explain." Willow pleaded.
"No Willow. You have not learned a thing. Not even my death opened your eyes. You still used your powers to control other people like right now! Don't you get it yet you can't control us anymore. You are not a God. Open your eyes Willow before it's too late. The Powers That Be are not happy with you."
"Willow!" Giles exclaimed sternly.
"I'm not using magic I'm just trying to get Tara to see I'm right." Willow said.
"Giles you are their teacher. You need to sit down with both of them. This is the monster you created by not being opened minded and completely making yourself blind to things happening around you. When you are ready I will come to you. Do not let them interfere again. The Powers are watching you now." Merrick said.
Both Tara and Merrick left the Scoobies and Watcher standing there. They meet up with the rest of Allies that were waiting for them.
Giles turned to look at Willow and Xander who both had their heads down.
"Get him and let's go. We have much to discuss and if either of you are not truthful you'll get to know Ripper in person." Giles said walking away.
Xander and Willow were completely shocked. They saw Giles stop and he was waiting for them.
"I don't get it Wills. Why can't they see we were doing this all for our own good?" Xander asked.
"I don't know Xander. I think we better tell him about that guy, now." Willow said walking to Angel.
"Come on help me get Angel. We have a long night."
Whistler appeared with his Boss watching the Scoobies leave.
"Can you please tell me why nothing is going according to plan? Buffy mated to that other vampire. She was supposed to be mated to Angel so that Angelus could destroy her. What the fuck Whistler? I had everything planned." His boss said.
"Sorry Boss Man I did what you wanted. I told Angel nothing had changed. He felt it when Spike mated with Buffy. It was kinda scary to tell you the truth. I got out of there quickly to let you know. I don't get it why are you after Buffy? She's The Slayer she is going to kill us. It's like you know her or something."
"I do. She can't kill me though."
Whistler looked at his boss.
"We need to make up plan b now."
Both disappeared into the dark night.
Ok what did you think? Please review let me know if you like it or hated it. All comments are welcome.
Wow Tara outed Willow with the compulsion spell on Giles. Oh boy Giles is going to rip Willow a new one.
Xander thinks everyone around him is a demon. Bad Xander for spitting at Anya. Yay for Anya for standing up for self.
Buffy and Spike met Dawn's mate. I bet you Spike is going to make it hard on Sam. Poor Lawson he's gonna have to prove himself worthy of Dawn.
I gave you a hint on the "New bad guy" Whistler's "Boss Man" knows Buffy. Any guess as to who this person is? Is he a demon, Warlock, or human?
Next chapter 11 is Dawn and Dru, granddaughter and grandmother bond. Spike and Buffy have a nice dinner date out and talk about their future. Isabella contact Buffy through a slayer dream about Penn and James saving Spike.
