Willow's voice was filled with tears as she watched her best friend's lifeless body placed on the bed. Cordelia, Xander, and Oz stood on one side of the bed while Giles stood on the other. "I don't know. She's barely breathing and she's burning up," Giles said as he placed a hand on her forehead. "What's wrong with her?" Xander ran is fingers stressfully through his hair as he watched her just lay there. "She's dying." Angel's mysterious figure approached them from out of the closet as Xander shoved Willow and Cordelia behind him and stood to protect Buffy. "Did you do this to her?" Xander said as harshly as possible. He stood face to face with Angel, a demon of darkness who had already hurt Buffy so much. He smiled slightly at the thought. "Of course I didn't do this to her; I could never kill her." Angel stepped back a bit, keeping in the shadows of the room. "Then how do you know she's dying?" Willow asked still hiding behind Xander. "Savarah." "She did this?" Giles said as he looked at Buffy again. "Yeah. Their so called fair fight, well, it wasn't very fair." "Oh my god." Giles said faintly as he looked down at Buffy. "You don't have much time. Savarah's taking her soul away from her." "What?" Oz gasped. "Savarah cast a spell on Buffy, just in case she didn't win the fight, to remove her soul; and her body can't live unless it has a soul. You only have one option, and very little time." "What's that?" "Give her mine," Angel said painfully. Savarah's words echoed in his mind: 'You still love her. Love her. Love-' "What? How?" Willow stopped as she realized the disk. "I'll be right back." She ran out of the house and got to the library as fast as she could.Everyone watched Buffy, tears filling their eyes. She meant so much to all of them. "I have to go. You know what to do. Once she has my soul inside of her...she will have to make a decision. She will know what she has to do." Angel smiled as he took one last look at her. "I will guide her." he said under his breath. "But..." Giles tried to stop him, still hoping for more answers, but Angel was gone. Almost as if he just disappeared. Giles and Xander sat next to Buffy on the bed and held her hands tightly in theirs. Minutes passed that seemed like hours. "Where is she?" Cordelia said impatiently. "She'll be here. Just relax," Xander said as he reached for her hand. "How can I relax when Buffy's about to die?" Everyone in the room turned their eyes to her. "What? I don't want her to die." Cordelia said as she turned away from Xander's hand. "I've got it," Willow said as she bounced into the room with the orb and the spell printed out on paper. "I called his soul into the orb while I was in the library. All we have to do now is get it into Buffy's body." "At the library?" Giles asked, as he thought about Angel and his mysterious disappearance. "Yeah, now let's do this before it's too late."

A bright light filled the room, and everyone had to shield their eyes from it. Suddenly, the light stopped and the room became silent. Attention was all turned to Buffy; but she didn't move, and her breath was faint. Giles reached to check her pulse. "It's getting stronger!" he yelled, as tears of joy fell from his eyes. Everyone jumped up and hugged eachother. "Hey, are you having a party without me?" a quiet voice came from Buffy's lips. "Buffy!" They all screamed in unison. "Hey, hey, watch the noise. I've got a headache that you wouldn't believe." Buffy stopped for a second, held her head and then looked up to Giles. "Angel?" "He gave his soul so you could live, Buffy." Giles' body went stiff at the pain he saw forming in her eyes. "Buffy, you have to decide," Angel's voice whispered inside her head. She smiled as she recognized his sweet voice. "Buffy?" Xander asked, noticing her smile. "I'm fine. I know what I have to do." The Slayer started to push her way out of bed, but Giles and Xander stopped her. "Don't! You're too weak." "No. I'm strong. I've got help." They looked at her, confused. "Don't try to stop me. I have to get Angel back." Buffy broke away from their grasp and got to her feet. "I've got to do this. Don't worry, I won't loose this time." "Buffy, you're not-" Willow said as she started to understand what Buffy was going to do. "Yeah, I am. I'm going to fight her and I'm going to win." She was so sure of herself that it scared them. She had just been brought back from near death, and even though she had Angel's soul inside of her they didn't think she could fight Savarah again.

By Rachel Jones After reading this you ALL have an opinion, be it good or bad! So let me know what you think about this story - it's my first and I'll try to improve it for next time!! Thank you! If you have missed any of the other parts of this story just e-mail me and I'll send you them. Enjoy! WHEN? Buffy was terrified, she wanted to go and help her friends, for she knew the vampires werent joking and it was too big a risk to assume that they were. But she couldnt, she couldnt leave, not until Angel allowed her, for she felt certain that he was the one holding her there. She began to attempt to come up with a plan, none were any good, she needed a way to make Angel come here QUICKLY. She concentrated on nothing but Angel, she blocked the thought of her friends doom, and tried to summon Angel. She didnt bother to think about the vampires that surrounded her, she thought that their plan was to make her go to the master and retrieve her friends and then the master would attack, but she would be ready, while she was stuck waiting she may as well prepare her self. While she was planning her attack, a though crept into her mind, what if Angelus had set all of this up? He had made her come and stay and planned for the attack? She began to worry, for is he had set this up then there was no way that he would come and rescue Buffy, but maybe Angel can fight and banish the evil Angelus and then come and help her, but what help could he be? There would be no way that he would know where the others were, whereas Angelus would, she was stuck. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 17:24:07 EDT From: IluvBtVS Subject: BUFFYFIC: Please read First of I just want to say that I'm sorry for buging all of y'all with this, but my e-mail has been down from April 23- today at about 5:00.

Buffy highly doubted that there were even any vamps around, however that didn't stop her from carrying her spare stake. When they rounded the corner, more than half way to Angels apartment Xander asked "Do you really think Spike has her?" Buffy knew, almost without a doubt that Spike had her... There was no proof.. but how much proof do you need to know? I mean, Willow ended up missing the exact same day that Buffy had slayed Drusilla. "I'm pretty sure" She told Xander. And after a long pause continued "Xander... look..." Buffy slowed down her pace. "Willow... Uhm... Well... If she's with Spike.. and umm.." "Buffy... Stop there" Xander sighed "I know what your going to say and I know it's not true." Xander stopped himself, on the edge of tears, taking a minute to recover before finishing his sentence "Willow can't be dead. I can feel it Buffy, she's not dead" They both stopped walking Buffy looked downwards "I'm sorry Xander" She looked genuinely sorry. "I--" "It's not your fault Buffy" Xander said, though Buffy got the impression that he didn't really mean it. That he did blame her.. And why shouldn't he? Spike would never had taken Willow had it not been for Buffy.. The continued walking, both remaining in silence, each lost in their own minds until they came to Angels place. ~~~~ Angel answered the door within two knocks. His eye's lit up when he saw Buffy standing there, though he made no move to show it. She could come with bad news. He moved aside and invited them in. "How's Giles" He asked. "Giles is fine." She said... Buffy sat down, took a deep breath and blurted out "I need to know where Spike is" "Buffy, I--" Angel began about to express his concerns when he was interrupted "Yeah, I know" Buffy said sounding annoyed. "But Willow may be endanger." Buffy's eye's pleaded with him to understand. "We think.. we haven't seen her.. since that night.. we haven't seen Spike, I mean, put two and two together." She nearly sobbed out. Angel glanced at Xander who was staring at a picture on the wall, very clearly not thinking of the picture. Angel nodded silently and Buffy let out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding. "Thank-you" She whispered. - -- ~ ` ~ LadySun ~ ` ~ http://home.earthlink.net/~kbleyle/SD/index.html 'We look before and After, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thought...' The Cure (Wish) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 18:48:41 -0700 From: LadySun Subject: BUFFYFIC: A Stroke of Luck (Part 15) For disclaimers see part 1 A Stroke of Luck (part 15) Angel led her to an abandoned warehouse. Buffy rolled her eyes "You've got to be kidding me? He has Willow in here?" A shudder past threw her. Just the thought of Willow being held captive to Spike was enough to make her want to gag. "So what are we waiting for?" Xander all but yelled, as he charged forwards. Buffy grabbed him as he dashed by. "Have we forgotten Willow's life is at risk here?!" Buffy pulled him down and whispered "Calm down!" Buffy's eyes scanned the perimeter, before she looked back at Xander " We're going to get Willow! But we don't know how many vamps there are guarding this place." She said, and looked around. She unfastened her cross around her neck and handed it to Xander along with a stake. "You stay here, I'll be right back" ~~~~~~~ Spike was sitting in the main level of the building. His mind was wondering around again, his thoughts were of Drusilla... Idly he thought about the 3 stages of man... The denial, then awareness, and at last acceptance Acceptance... Spike sighed loudly. Vampires don't have souls. Their souls are taken away with the first drink of immortal blood. The soul dies, the body remains. That's how it goes. But humanity, love, compassion... Why did he feel this way? He loved Drusilla. There was no doubt about it. But his Drusilla was gone. She was dead. Spikes thoughts paused... Where was the slayer? You'd think she'd be rushing to save her sweet friend. Not stalling so long.... ~~~~~~~ Buffy peeked around the corner. There were two vampires guarding the entrance... Buffy blinked. Only two? This would be a piece of cake. She thought, hoping she wasn't jinxing the hell outta this. She slowly began to sneak up on the two. A third vampire came around the corner. Buffy of course, caught up in her sneaking, didn't see him until it was to late. He grabbed her from behind. The two guards at the door turned and came after her smiling. "Slayer" the first one hissed as the two came nearer "The one and only" Buffy said, struggling to get out of the vampires grasp. "Spike will be pleased" One hissed, as the other nodded. Though as soon as they got within reach Buffy kicked out sending the first flying, and the other staggering back. Tossing her head violently back, and vampire holding her stumbled ad released her. She stood, positioned to see all three vampires, waiting for one to attack. ~~~~~ Away in Drusilla's bedroom, the small bundle that lay on top of the covers began thrashing about. Willow awoke, her head spinning. Pictures, words, lifes, all things flashed before her. Blood, fire, and people, Spike, and torches, lots of fire, endless fields of blood... Unable to focus, to think, to breathe she began to panic, her head, everything was so fast... nothing would stand still long enough for her to comprehend. Spike, Drusilla, Angel ... 'Angelus' her mind told her... Blood... there was so much blood. Willow's Eyes flew open suddenly, as she gave a shattering breath for the air she no longer needed. Her body was in panic mode, and she couldn't stop herself from the scream that escaped from her lips. ~~~~~ Spike listened to the tossing and turning coming from the other room. Her scream was well savored... Somewhat surprised at how fast her change had gone. Spike picked up a glass of blood and began walking into the bedroom room "Spike!" he heard a vampire called from behind him. Spike turned around fast enough to see the vampire turn to dust. "Hello Spike" Spike smiled, as the slayer approached him... - -- ~ ` ~ LadySun ~ ` ~ http://home.earthlink.net/~kbleyle/SD/index.html 'We look before and After, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thought...'

But at the site of Spike's face... She wanted so badly to rip out his heart. "Where's Willow?" She hissed. "Willow?" Spike asked, tapping his fingers on his chin. "That'd be the redhead right?" They were nearly a yard away from each other now. The tension between them was amazing. Buffy's nerves towered as she heard a heart shattering scream come from the room next to them. Her eyes widened in shock but Spike just smiled innocently. Buffy ran to the next room to get Willow before it was too late. Only to be stopped dead in her tracks by Spike "Now, now. No peeking behind the doors." Buffy immediately hit out at him, but Spike easily blocked her blow, and holding her arm, kicked her head. This disoriented Buffy a little and she staggered back a bit, giving Spike enough time to punch Buffy in the stomach a couple times, until she caught his wrist. Tightening her grip she swung Spike around, sending him flying on top of the table with a loud crash. ~~~~~ Willow's body jerked up at the loud noise echoing in her head. Willow blinked. She could barely comprehend her own surroundings, she knew she was in Spikes warehouse, and she knew also that she was in Drusilla's bedroom. The room wasn't so dark now. There were no candles lit, but she could see just fine. Only that when she did looked she saw Spike.. And then when she closed her eyes, all she saw was blood. Willow blinked over and over, trying to get her head to focus. "Spike?" Willow asked out loud to the only person who could help her. ~~~~~ Neither of the two heard her, both concentrating on each other as Buffy jumped on top of the table, straddling Spike's body, she went to meet the stake with his chest, when he kicked her feet out from under her, sending the slayer down on her back with a loud thud. Spike jumped off the table to meet with Buffy's body. ~~~~~ Her ears caught the noise from outside, ringing so loudly that all she saw was red. "Spike!" She screamed as loud as her voice would carry. ~~~~~ 'Damn it' Spikes mind yelled at him as Willow's terrified scream filled the warehouse. "Willow" Buffy whispered as her head stopped spinning. "yeah." Spike sighed, looking down at the slayers sprawled out body. "But don't worry. I'll make sure she has a happy home." Buffy didn't understand. Not at first. "But - I'm afraid that her happy home, doesn't include you." He finished as he bent down to pick up. ~~~~~ All she could think about was blood. All she could see, taste, feel, hear. Everything was blood. Without her consciously knowing Willow began to stand, unsure of exactly where she was going, she found herself at the door. She had to shake her head just to make sure she was looking at a door, her mind, her thoughts were so slow, she didn't understand what was happening to her, but she did know one thing. Blood. Grasping the door handle roughly she shook at it. It didn't budge. She shook it again, and again, until the door busted in two, and she walked out. ~~~~~ Spike grabbed Buffy and turned both their bodies towards Willow. Buffy gasped at she took one look on her friends distorted face. She shook her head, "No... No not Willow.." "'fraid so" Spike said, tightening his grip, he couldn't help but smile, this was to perfect. "C'mere, love" He said to Willow. "I have a treat for you" - -- ~ ` ~ LadySun ~ ` ~ http://home.earthlink.net/~kbleyle/SD/index.html 'We look before and After, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell the saddest thought...'

I am using them without the permission of the people who do own them who are not going to sue me because I am not making any money off this. Joss Whedon, WB, Mutant Enemy, Kusui and Sandollar own the Buffy characters. DISTRIBUTION: Just ask. RATING: Probably PG FEEDBACK: I would love to know what you all think of this. Please send me feedback. Pretty please. SUMMARY: Okay, well this takes place while Ms. Calendar is still alive, but Angel is evil, so probably Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. It's another "Angel gets his soul back" story which I wrote to convince myself that Angel could be good again. It's kind of long and I'm sorry about that you all. AUTHOR'S MESSAGE: I would like to dedicate this part to Leslie who bravely came out in the open about her obsession with Buffy. I too am obsessed. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Well, I don't want to recover, so I'm not going to. Everyone enjoy the new ep. We deserve it for our patience. On with the show The Cure (12/14) The "library club" was hard at work. Under the direction of the elderwoman, they prepared many things. They combined herbs as she directed. The elderwoman suddenly turned. "Buffy, do you have any Holy water?" "Yeah, why?" Buffy asked, bewildered. "For protection, Janna must soak in Holy water. She will also need to consume a large quantity. That way, if something should go wrong and Angelus tried to feed on her, the Holy water will make him stop. Her blood will be like poison to him, and touching her will burn him. How much can we muster? Where can we get more if needed?" "Giles, how much HW you got?" Buffy asked. "HW?" Giles asked, confused. "Holy water, Giles. How much do you have?" Buffy asked. "Oh yes, HW, Holy water, very good. Twenty to twenty-five jars, I should think," Giles replied, smiling. "I got about the same at home. Will that be enough?" "How large are the jars?" the elderwoman asked. Buffy made a gesture to indicate the size of the jar. "That will be enough for Janna to soak in. We will need about twenty more for her to drink." "TWENTY JARS!?! How am I supposed to drink that much?" Jenny exclaimed. Jenny and the elderwoman began discussing the Holy water. The phone rang and Willow got it. "Giles, what church should I break into to get more HW?" Buffy asked. "I would recommend the nearest church," Giles smiled at buffy's matter of factness about breaking and entering. Willow put the phone on the counter with enough of a bang to make everyone turn to face her. "Buffy, there's someone on the phone for you. It's Spike. And he wants to help us re-curse Angel." *************** Angel was sitting on Dru's bed watching her play with her dolls. She would take care of them, mother them and then suddenly, she'd lash out at them. <> he thought, grinning at the thought that he caused it. Nonetheless, he was bored. <> *************** Buffy was stunned that Spike was on the phone, but nevertheless she picked up the receiver. "Hi Spike. What's up?" "Hello Buffy. I have a proposition to make. Are you trying to re-curse Angelus?" "Okay, you have my full attention. What do you mean?" "Well, this may be hard to believe, but I want to help you." "And I should believe you why?" "Look, this sounds strange, I know, but we can actually help each other out here. You want the Angelus with a soul, I want him away from my Dru. Giving him back that soul satisfies that . What can I so to help you?" "Will you hang on a sec, Spike? I gotta talk to Giles." "Sure, I'll call back in. . .how long do you need?" "Gimme a half an hour." "Alright, bye." "Bye Spike." *************** Buffy paced around the library. School had let out two hours ago. Buffy was anxious about the ritual. She's talked to Spike, and his job was to call once Angel left to hunt and to tell them where he was going to hunt. Buffy and Ms. Calendar would go there, Buffy would distract him and ms. Calendar would put a spell on Angel that would make him completely helpless. They would go to the library where everything would be set up for the ritual. Buffy wanted to whole thing over with. "Giles, I'm going to get the Holy water." *************** Willow was dripping wax over the floor of the library under the careful guidance of the elderwoman. Willow was really happy and excited. <> she thought. <> Willow gently poured the melted wax on the floor. <> Willow remembered. Willow continued pouring the wax. *************** Xander measured out another herb who's name he couldn't pronounce. <> Xander thought sarcastically. But Xander was kind of relieved. Buffy had taken this whole thing pretty hard. <> *************** Spike rolled back to the table. He felt a little bit bad, a little like a traitor. <> Spike thought. "Hey roller-boy!" Angel said. Spike just sat at the table. "Aw, don't sulk Spikey. What's the matter, can't take a joke?" Angel continued. "Hi Angelus. Where's Dru?" Spike asked. She's taking a little nat before dinner. She got a little worn out," Angel replied. Spike gave a little laugh. "If you're trying to make me jealous Angelus, it won't work," Spike replied. "Not why would I want to do something like that?" Angel asked, pretending to be innocent. "Fine Angelus," Spike said calmly. <> Spike thought. *************** Buffy walked towards the church that was only a few blocks away. She quietly snuck around to the side where she knew the offices were. <> buffy carefully looked in every window. Buffy didn't see anyone. Through on window she saw a large supply of Holy water. <> Buffy opened the window and pushed herself in. She quickly scouted to make sure no one was around. When she was satisfied that no one was there. She grabbed all the Holy water she needed and went back out the window. Buffy walked as quickly as she could back to the library. *************** Buffy watch anxiously out the window as the sun sank below the horizon. "Sunset," she declared the second the sun sank below the horizon. Buffy moved to a chair beside the phone, waiting for Spike's call. Finally, the phone rang. "Show time," Buffy said, and picked up the phone. *************** Buffy and Jenny grabbed their stuff, getting ready to go. Before they left, Buffy picked up two crossed. "Here Ms. Calendar, you need one of these. I want to be prepared, and I want you to be able to protect yourself," Buffy said handing Jenny a cross. "Okay, the rest of you, we'll be back in a bit." Buffy looked over at Giles, who seemed a bit nervous. Impulsively, buffy gave Giles a hug. "Don't worry Giles, everything will be fine," Buffy whispered. "Let's go Buffy," Ms. Calendar said. "Okay, coming," Buffy replied. "Good luck," everyone called out after them. *************** Angel lay in wait for Buffy, the same as the night before, calmly sitting in the corner. She was, in fact, just outside the graveyard, quietly waiting until Ms. Calendar was ready. Ms. Calendar was ready. Ms. Calendar gave the signal. Buffy went into the graveyard. Angel came out of the shadows. "Hi lover," Angel said. "Can we skip the feeble banter, just for tonight? I didn't come here to talk, I came here to fight," Buffy replied. "Fine by me," Angel said. Then he attacked. Buffy was ready though, and she blocked his attack and got in two quick punched which left Angel a little off balance. He waited as she attacked and he used her momentum to knock her backward, but in the process he got knocked backwards too. Buffy was quicker on her feet and she kept him from getting up. At the same time Ms. Calendar had come in and was speaking the words of the spell to leave him helpless. Buffy had no clue what Ms. Calendar was actually saying, but she caught "Angelus" a couple of times. Angel realized what was happening and started trying to get away, but Buffy managed to stop him, throwing him against the cemetary wall. Jenny finished her chant and Angel fell to the ground. "Done," Ms. Calendar announced. "Great,' Buffy replied with a huge smile, "I'll grab him and let's go!"
