Chapter 1:The Prophecy Revealed
Xander Harris was pissed. Actually he was more than pissed, he was on the point of exploding. If the slayer wanna-bes said one more word he was going to hunt down a bringer and give the little bitches to it. From the looks of Faith and Dawn they weren't far from it themselves. Andrew and Spike were all but huddling in on themselves trying to ignore the girls.
The leader of this particular group, Rose, was saying something about staking Spike. That was the last straw for Xander. "Get up, pack up your bags. Dawn, call Buffy and tell her to come get the girls!" Xander's snarled words stunned everyone.
"Xander?" Dawn asked, looking upset.
"Spike and Andrew have earned their places here, and if you don't like dealing with them you can stay at Buffy's," he said to the girls. "Make the call, Dawn." Dawn nodded and pulled out her cell phone.
Faith looked at him, waiting to see if she would be going with the other girls. After Dawn got Buffy on the phone she turned back to Xander. "Buffy says she'll take the girls, but you have to take Giles, Willow, Tara, Kennedy and Anya."
"That's fine. Just tell them to bring their own ice cream," Xander the the teenager, making her giggle.
An hour later the girls were gone and the Scoobies were nearly reunited. The only one missing was Buffy, but she had to stay with the potentials. Giles was tipsy and lying on the couch. No one could figure out exactly what it was that was wrong with the Watcher, but he had not been himself since his return from England.
"Giles, we're ordering food. What would you like?" Willow asked him gently.
"I want the bloody prophecy to be a lie. I want Buffy to really be alive. I want not to sacrifice Xander to keep her alive. That's what I want," the inebriated man spat out.
"What?" Xander demanded.
Giles rolled into a sitting position. "It's not fair. The bloody Powers, they take everything for their blasted war. First they take Buffy, then they influence Willow and the rest of you to bring part of her back. Now this bloody prophecy. I can't kill her. I love Buffy, but I love you too. I can't let you be sacrificed to this convoluted prophecy. Stupid Spike had to get his stupid soul back. Tried to get Wood to kill him, but it didn't work. Should have known, no one can kill him. Not even Buffy." Giles rambled.
The others all looked at one another in confusion. "Giles, what does Spike's having a soul have to do with sacrificing Xander?" Willow growled. She was going to force him to answer even if she had to sober him up with a spell.
"The Slayer will fall to the god of hell
Returned by the magic of the fire witch
At her side the magic of gold, the demon no longer
And the one with no magical power
From heaven they will pull the essence of the Slayer
She will drift and join the bound demon
Through their joining the bound will seek his soul
And a demon he will be no longer
The evil from the beginning will come
And the one who sees, but has no power
Will join with the unbound soul
The cursed soul and the dark warrior
Will be joined to the one without power and the unbound soul
The four will stand and the humans will sacrifice the last of innocence
To save the world and give over their beings to the cursed and unbound souls
Only then shall the origin of evil fall."
Giles slurred the prophecy out, then leaned forward and cupped Xander's face
in his hand. "What do I do Xander? The only other thing to do is reverse the spell that brought Buffy back. How can I lose you both?"
For a long time no one said anything. Then Xander spoke, "Giles, when did you read this prophecy?"
"Right after Willow killed Warren, when she thought Tara was dead," the now sobering Watcher answered. They all looked over at Willow and saw her wince. Tara pulled her close and rocked her soothingly.
"It looks like Spike and I will be going to see Deadboy tonight," Xander said grimly.
"What?!" the others asked.
"The cursed soul? That has to be Angel. The unbound soul is definitely Spike. The dark warrior must be someone who works for him or with him. We need to leave as soon as possible. I'm not going to let anyone or anything hurt Buffy," Xander answered harshly.
Spike nodded, the whelp was right. They had to make sure they saved Buffy and everyone else. That meant going to Angel. Dawn began to cry. She threw herself into Xander's arms and clung to him. "You can't go," she sobbed.
Xander closed his eyes and held Dawn tightly. Every since she moved in with him, they had only spent the time she was at school apart. "It's going to be okay Dawn. You're still safe here with Andrew, and Willow and the others will be here."
It had been a shock to everyone when Buffy had asked Xander to move Andrew and Dawn into his new house with him. Xander hadn't minded. In truth he had been glad of the company. The last few months had seen a drastic change, both in Xander and his circumstances. He had started exercising again and had lost all the weight that he had put on. Then his Uncle Rory had passed away and left Xander everything he owned. No one had know that the man had been wealthy.
In the letter that he had left Xander, he explained that he had been trying to find out who was worthy of receiving his money. Only Xander had been worthy in his mind. He also went on to tell Xander how proud he was that the young man helped out the Slayer. Xander had been stunned by it all, but had immediately put his new wealth to good use. He had moved out of his apartment, built a large house and paid the coven of witches, supervised by Willow, to come in and lay wards into the foundations themselves. No one could do anyone in the house harm.
That had been the reason why Buffy had asked Xander to take Dawn in. He and Buffy even shared custody of Dawn. No matter what happened, he would be coming back to his family and Sunnydale.
He released Dawn and watched as she threw herself into Spike's arms. "I want all of you to stay here. We will be back. I need one of you to tell Buffy where we've gone and why," Xander told them.
"I shall do it," Giles told him. Xander nodded. He then went to his room to pack. Spike followed his lead and went into the room he shared with Andrew to pack up a few of his things.
Twenty minutes later they were on their way out of Sunnydale, and on their way to Angel. Xander wasn't sure what their reception would be, but knew they had no choice.
By the time they reached LA and the Hyperion, both men were jittery. Neither of them were looking forward to dealing with the Fang Gang. There was really no love lost between them and any of Angel's people. They hadn't even told Angel about Spike's chip or his soul. Xander was worried about Spike being staked before they could tell them about the prophecy.
When they walked into the lobby of the hotel, Cordelia and Doyle were the first ones to spot them. Cordelia threw a cross at Xander, and he caught it before it could hit him in the face. Wes had turned and Gunn raised an eyebrow. "Cordy, why did you throw a cross at our visitors?" he asked.
"Because I wanted to make sure Xander wasn't a vampire, since he came through the door with Spike," Cordy answered.
"Spike?" Gunn asked wairily.
"Hey Princess, is my Sire here?" Spike asked, ignoring everyone else. He was tired and afraid that if anyone started screaming at him he would go on one of his freak outs.
Doyle scowled at the blonde vampire. "Why, do you have more hot pokers?" he snarled.
Spike whimpered and Xander put his arm around him protectively. "Leave him alone," Xander snarled back. Cordy, Oz and Wes gaped at him in stunned silence.
"Xander, William," Angel said as he walked out of the office. His dark eyes were unreadable as he took in the sight of his Childe being held by Xander Harris, of all people.
"Sire," Spike breathed and raced to Angel, throwing himself into the elder vampire's arms. Angel was stunned, and the others surged to their feet thinking to protect Angel from Spike. They were confused by his behavior.
Angel looked at Xander in confusion, even as he wrapped his arms around Spike. "Spike has a soul," Xander said. There was silence for several minutes before they others began to yell questions.
"SHUT UP!" Xander roared, making them all gape at him. Xander turned his attention back to Spike. He could tell that the blonde was close to fading away and their screams weren't helping. Going over to the pair, Xander gently disengaged Spike from Angel and lifted him into his arms. They all watched as he carried Spike to the nearest chair and sat down, cradling the vampire close.
"What has happened to Spike, how did he get his soul back?" Angel growled. His eyes had turned amber. If it was a spell the practitioner would suffer.
Xander began to tell them about the Initative, Spike's chip, Buffy's death and rebirth. Which they had already known about. Then the Buffy and Spike relationship, if you could call it that. Then about Spike going and getting his soul. The First, the bringers, the potentials and finally about the prophecy.
By the time he finished Angel was pacing and Gunn was staring at his lover with mixed feelings. What would happen with them if Angel went with this prophecy?
