And there she stood before them. Beautiful-, strong and-former Hell-goddess,

Buffy grabbed her sister and jumped trew the door of Willows room.

She started running pulling Dawn after her.

Glory wanted to follow them but Willow made her fly backswords with her magic.

Glory was quickly up her legs again and now went trew the wall to gain in on her key. She started running very fast and eventually she stood before Dawn and Buffy.

Any last words slay-brat, Glory said.

Buffy was waiting calmly and said just one Truck.

And bam a Truck ran Glory over and she flew high in the sky and landed on a cars window.

Glory wanted to get up but Ben took back control over his body.

Later, at Anyas and Xanders apartment,

Dawn was telling everybody how they got away from Glory.

She made it sound like Glory was gone forever so everybody thought it was so.

They all complimented Buffy who then said that a truck hit her and that she didnt know how she and Dawn got away. Then she suggested running from Glory because she couldnt fight her, telling everybody that she was too strong for to fight. They agreed to the plan to escape Glory. So they went packing their most important stuff, while Buffy went to arrange transportation.

After done packing the gang was waiting for Buffy and Dawn to show with transportation.

While they were discussion Buffys plan of running away a huge RV stopped next to them.

And the door opened and they saw Buffy and Dawn sitting by the table.

Giles immediately asked what Spike was doing here riding the RV.

Buffy said that Spike was the only one beside her that could fight Glory.

Giles and Xander disagreed but Buffy said that he was staying and that they should get over it. Spike smiled and said that they should buckle up because he was going to get the maximum out of the RV.

Buffy went to the back of the RV to rest for a while.

After a while Giles decided that he should take over riding the RV and he sent Spike to the others.

Xander was having travel sickness and almost trew up.

When Spike was on his nerves he had enough and trew up over on him.

It was a disgusting sight.

Spike was screaming oh God couldnt you oh God this is disgusting.

Giles suggested for him to get out and laughed hard because he saw his face when he said that.

Giles knew he couldnt get out because it was day time.

Dawn went to check up on Buffy.

They had a nice talk and finally Dawn said that there was a bright side to all of this. Buffy asked what that bright side may be. Dawn said that at least things couldnt get any crazier.

Then suddenly an arrow flew trew the RV's wall and Buffy said to Dawn you know this is your fault for saying that.

They looked out the back window and saw that there were attacked by some Knights on horses.

Giles! Buffy came from the back; screaming the British mans name.

Ive seen them the Brit answered.

Suddenly Tara went crazy again and Willow had her hands full on keeping her down. Buffy told her sister, Anya and Xander to get down as well.

One of the Knights came up the RVs roof and put his sword trew it.

Spike grabbed the sword after it came trew the roof three times.

Buffy told Xander to give her a push, to get on the roof as well.

When she was up, the Knight managed to get his sword back from underneath and he cut open Spike hands by doing so.

A fight started on the roof and Buffy managed to kick to Knight of the roof.

Two more came up she killed one by throwing an axe at him and kicked the other one off the roof.

Then when they finally taught it was over one Knight appeared riding on his horse and trew a spear at Giles which injured the British man badly.

The RV rolls over to the side and slide a few seconds over the road.

Buffy was fallen of the roof and saw it happening.

Only the British man was injured and Spike who still smelled awful covered in a blanket kicked in a door of an empty building they found.

Xander and Buffy put Giles on the table and Willow checked the injury out.

Buffy told that they were going to rest here for a while and then they had to move for worth. Xander said where too Buffy. Buffy responded with: I dont know just give me a minute to

She never got to finish that sentence because burning arrows were flying into the old building.

Two Knights came in before Willow put up a barrier to stop them from entering.

Buffy killed one of the two Knights but knocked to other one out cold.

Meanwhile Giles was doing worse and they needed help.

Buffy and Dawn were waiting for the Knight to wake up.

She negotiated him and found out that he was a general, but when she said he wouldnt put his men down. Buffy walked away from him angry but also scared but she didnt let anyone notice that because she knew she had to be strong for them.

Willow repaired a phone and Buffy wondered who to call.

She sent everybody out the room she was in and decided to call the one person she knew she could always count on.

Trrrtrrr.trrrAngel investigations, Cordy speaking.

Cordy this is Buffy I need to talk to Angel. Her voice sounded scared and Cordy decided to act quickly.

Cordy ran to Angels office and said that Buffy was on the phone and that she sounded scared. Angel immediately picked up the phone and Cordy decided to leave his office. She closed the door behind her.

Buffy what is it, said Angel voice worried.

Angel I need your help, she said.

Glory has found out that Dawn is the Key and now we are running from her but these Knights attacked us and Giles is hurt badly and I dont know what to do anymore.

Shhh the voice off her ex-boyfriend sounded.

Angel Im scaredshe mumbled.

I know Buffy but you need to be strong now, remember you dont have to face this alone you have your friends to help you he said.

I knowbut could you come, her voice said, I need you.

Ill be right there, tell me where you are he said.

Buffy gave him direction and thanked him.

Buffyhe said. You know Ill do anything for you.

With a warm feeling a new power ran threw her body.

She hang up the phone dried the face from the tears and walked out the room to negotiate with the Knights.

Willow opened a door in her barrier and Buffy and Xander walked out.

Buffy told that some friends of her were coming and that they had to let him threw.

Or what did a brown male Knight said.

Buffy response to him was Im done asking.

Xander hold her back and said that if they didnt let their friends threw they were going to torture their General who they had inside tied up.

The knights accepted this and Buffy and Xander walked back in.

Angel stood up grabbed his coat and told his gang that they were going to help Buffy. Cordy asked why Buffy needed his help and he told her that she had to grab a first aid kid. Then without another word he made his way to the car. Wesley, Gunn and Cordy followed his quietly.

Angel and his Gang arrived at the old building and saw the knights starring at them.

Gunn immediately said we should have brought more weapons.

Angel came said from under his blanket, dont worry we can take them if it comes to it, and besides Buffy said that they could come in without trouble.

They walked toward the barrier which just gave an opening big enough for them to get threw.

When they entered Buffy, Xander, Dawn, Willow and Anya greeted them.

Who is that? Buffy asked.

O this is Gunn. Angel answered.

Hey Gunn said. Hello Im Xander, Xander said. This is my girl Anya. That our powerful witch Willow, that there lying is Giles, that is Spike over there hes a chipped vampire that means he cant hit or bite humans. And that is Tara our temporarily not available witch.

How come, Gunn asked.

Well, Willow answered, Glory sucked her mind.

Wesley had to ask, who is this Glory?

Buffy answered Glory is the reason we left Sunnydale. Glory is an ex-goddess of Hell trying to get the Key for something.

The General answered, The Beast is trying to get the Key to go home to her Hell dimension.

Buffy laughs: that Glorys master plan, to go home?

General responded this by saying you do not understand if the Beast opens the gate to her dimension she opens the gate to all dimensions.

Dimensions will melt into each other and the Earth will become a Hell itself.

You see now why we have to destroy the Key, destroy the Key and the link with the Beast will be destroyed and she will return to her prison of bone and flesh.

What do you mean by that? Buffy asked.

The beast was trapped here in a body of a newborn male, but she has found a way to escape her mortal prison he answered.

Kill the male and the Glory dies Xander said.

Yes was the answer of the General.

Unfortunately the identity of the human vessel was never recovered.

Gunn so why dont we just destroy the Key.

Buffy responded with anger to him. Because she said my sister is the Key.

O right he said.

Giles was getting worse and Cordy was now by his side with the first aid kid by her side treating the British old man.

Wesley was now talking to Willow asking if that barrier was hers.

She said yes. Wesley responded with thats really good. Im impressed.

Chapter 2:

Xander was talking to Gunn, and Anya was watching over Dawn and Tara.

Buffy was talking with Angel, while Spike was watching them from a corner jealous.

Buffy thanks for coming.

Anytime Angel said.

Buffy I just couldnt take it anymore the whole situation.

Angel I know, its ok. Im here.

Buffy felt like she never felt like in a very long time terrified, terrified of losing Dawn to Glory.

She just started crying and said it just keeps coming Angelit just keeps coming.

I know he said as he held her into his strong arms.

Dont worry about it...for now, were safe until those clerics outside punch a hole in Willows barrier.

Spike we should use General whats his name over there as a shield. Then at least some of us

No! Buffy said Im not going to lose anyone. Were all going to make it.

Whats he doing here anyway? Angel asked Buffy growling at his Grand-childe.

O , Buffy answered, Spikes in love with me. He was helping me protect Dawn from Glory.

Hes in love with you Angel growled.

Yeah she answered but no worries he doesnt have a chance with me.

Only vamps with a heart like you do have.

Buffy , Angel began but Buffy silenced him. I know she said.

She turned away but Angel couldnt stop himself anymore he grabbed her turned her to him and kissed her. She let him kiss her, o God how she missed kissing him, how she missed him.

Angel stopped, I, he said, I want to try again Buffy. But first I have to tell you this.

What? She asked.

II , he began, I had sex with Darla.

You what, Buffy said with unbelief.

Im sorry Buffy, he said, but when I realized that you and I could never be. I didnt want to

Buffy looked at him when she finally said were you trying to lose your soul?

Angel looked at her guilty and almost whispered yes.

Angel, are you insane? Buffy said to him angrily.

Buffy Ihe began.

Buffy turned away from him and asked him, do you love her?

No he answered. I only love you. It was pure lust. Youre the only one who can give me true happiness.

You werent so sure when you tried it on her? She asked.

I couldnt go to you because I knew you had your own life now, and Im not a part of it anymore.

Nonsense, Buffy began. Angel youll always be a part of me.

I feel the same way, he said to her.

Well figure something out, Buffy said.

Willow and Tara will probably find a way to bind your soul.

BuffyI he said.

You what Buffy asked him.

Well an old prophecy which mentions me says Ill become human some day he said.

Buffy smiled at him her dream was coming true, Angel human.

Thats great, she answered. She kissed him softly on his full lips and the said Still next time I see Darla shell be dust.

Thats fine with me, they laughed.

O God I cant watch this Spike answered.

Then dont, Angel and Buffy said at the same time.

Fine, Spike said, as he walked out the room.

Did you enjoy having sex with Darla? Buffy asked him.

No he answered because she wasnt you.

Buffy smiled then gave him a little kiss. And said we should get back to the others.

Youre right, he said, we should.

As she walked away he grabbed her again pulled her to him and kissed her with passion. Buffy knew that if she let herself go she wouldnt be able to stop. So she kissed him but held back. Then Angel stopped and said lets go.

Angel stood next to the general and the general thought, seems like I can maybe make one of those new people kill the young girl.

He said: listen you have to destroy the instrument of war before the beast finds it.

Buffy wanted to hit the General for that but she was too late Angel already hit the General hard and growled at him saying never to speak that way about Dawn again. The General wanted to say but it must be destroyed but before he could bring out all his words Buffy hit him hard. Saying there will be not talking that way about her sister. Dawn who saw how well she was protected by both Buffy and Angel blushed, said to Gunn thats my sister and her ex-boyfriend.

Buffy heared what Dawn said and corrected her by saying not ex but present boyfriend. Everybody except Spike and Tara was gasping for breath.

Xander you two are back

Buffy yes, dont worry Xand were not going to do anything stupid.

We just both figured out that we cant live without eachother. We need eachother even if we cant have sex, which I hope Willow may be off some help when this is all over. Anyway we need to be with eachother.

The time we were apart I have felt like a part of me was slowly dying.

I know what you mean, I felt exactly the same way. He whispered in her ear.

Xander I trust you Buffy.

Willow we all do.
