Spike was helping Dawn calm down from the confrontation with Buffy. When a faint smell tickled at his nose. “Angel do you smell that?” It smelled like blood.
Angel sniffed the air. It was a smelled that he had smelled before when he was Angelus. “Ethan Giles is bleeding!”
Ethan looked startled and ran as fast as his legs could take him up the stairs to the room he shared with Ripper. He threw open the door and didn’t see Ripper lying on the bed.
“Ripper?”
Ethan walked around the side of the bed and saw him lying on the door with a little blood coming from a deep gash on his head. He heard the others come running up the stairs. “We have to do something now for him. I think his fall may have deleted any chance at recovery with out magical aid.”
Angel sighed, “He doesn’t want the kind of help Spike and I could provide.”
Cordelia wiped her eyes as she watched Angel lift Giles carefully back into bed. She hoped that Wesley would find something quickly. “I’ll get the first aide kit so we can dress the wound.”
Ethan nodded and sat down beside his Ripper. He clasped on to Ripper’s hand. “I can’t let you go to Ripper. It’ll kill me too.”
&#&#&#&#&#
Spike sat with Xander and Dawn in the lobby. He was afraid that there was nothing that could be done for Giles and if Giles died he knew that nothing was going to be the same. Especially Dawn since she has lost all the family she has first her mother now Buffy. Losing Giles would probably send her crashing down.
The door burst open and Wesley rushed in. “I’ve found it! I’ve found something to help Giles!” He rushed into the study where all the magic books were kept. He didn’t tell everyone to follow him cause he knew it wouldn’t be needed.
Cordelia came into the room as the last of the dressings were put on the head wound Giles had. “Wes is downstairs. He says he’s found something to help Giles.”
Angel stood up from the chair that he had been sitting in, “Ethan are you coming down?”
Ethan shook his head, “I don’t think so. I think I’ll stay up here with Ripper. I want to be here just incase.”
Angel nodded, “Alright I’ll fill you in on what’s going on.”
Angel followed Cordelia down the stairs to join the others in the study.
Cordelia looked at Angel, “Do you think that Wes really found something that is going to help Giles?”
Angel shrugged, “I have a lot of faith in him. I think he can.” He saw Gunn come in with a bag. “Hey.”
Gunn nodded, “Hey. I heard you had a disturbance this morning.”
Angel just nodded. He didn’t want to relive the morning’s events.
Gunn laid his hand on Angel’s arm, “I’m sorry I wasn’t here to help but I was with Wes. He’s been working himself to the bone trying to find away to help Mr. Giles.”
The trio walked into the study and sat down.
Wesley looked over everyone in the room. “I’ve tried and tried every thing I know to cure Giles. As you know nothing worked. The reason nothing worked is because I’ve been trying to cure something medical. I called Willow and had her hack into Giles’ medical records and it said that they couldn’t find a tumor or anything in Giles’ being. So they deemed it a virus. That got me thinking what if it isn’t medical but magical!”
Angel shook his head, “I can’t believe we didn’t think of that before!”
Wesley nodded, “I know! So I did a spell on him and it seems that someone put a spell on that if Ethan got with in so many feet of him Giles would get unbelievably sick.”
Spike snarled, “Buffy! She had to have done this. What do we do? We can’t ask Ethan to leave Giles. He’d rather pull out his one teeth!”
Wesley nodded, “I found the reversal spell. I’m going to perform it but I need a special ingredient. I don’t know where to find it. Gunn and I have gone everywhere we can think of. Even some places we shouldn’t have.”
“I believe you are looking for this.” A voice from the doorway said.
Everyone turned and saw Lindsey standing their with a plant in his had.
Angel growled, “What are you doing here you asshole. I want you out of my hotel NOW!”
Wesley shook his head, “WAIT! He has what we need to help Giles.”
Ethan walked up behind the young man with the artificial arm. “If this will help Giles then we need him. Please I heard everything. Please let him help.”
Angel nodded, “Alright but I want you to sing for Lorne first!”
Lindsey nodded and went into song. He sang the chorus to Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. “Well? We don’t have a lot of time here.”
Lorne smiled, “He’s pure Angel. He wants to help but he’s helping himself to but we’ll get into that later on when we’ve saved Giles.”
Wesley rushed over and took the plant from Lindsey, “Thank you so much.” He went back to the table where Gunn had already been taking the other ingredients from the bag.
Xander looked confused, “I don’t understand. Ethan wasn’t always around and Giles was still sick.”
Ethan sat in the tall backed chair. “I can tell answer that for you. See Giles would have just gotten sick as in maybe some puking or maybe just like an allergy but cause he hadn’t had any rest or hadn’t eaten it hit worse then expected.”
Xander nodded in understanding. “I see.”
The crew waited for what seemed like hours as Wesley and Gunn prepared the spell. They couldn’t take the waiting. They all prayed this would bring their Giles back.
Angel watched Lindsey like a hawk. He felt someone walk up next to him. “Lorne what did you mean when you said this helps him too?”
Lorne smiled and watched Lindsey sneak glances at Cordelia. “He’s in love Angel. Very much in love with someone here.”
Angel frowned, “Who is in love with?”
Lorne smiled at his sometimes very clueless lover, “Cordelia.”
Angel gaped at Lorne then looked at Lindsey who was now openly looking at Cordy. “No Way.”
Lorne laughed, “Yes way.”
1 hour later:
Wesley and Gunn finished preparing the ingredients, “Okay we’re ready.”
Ethan stood from the chair, “I’m going up to stay with Ripper. I want to be there if something goes wrong.” With that he left the room to go back to the bedroom with Ripper.
The others waited with baited breath as Wesley started the spell. They watched on as Wesley said the words to the spell carefully and precisely.
With the completion of the spell there was a shockwave of magic that shook the hotel to its foundation. There was aloud cry from the bedroom that sent the crew running for the stairs as fast they could go.
Angel was the first to reach the room, “Did it work? Please tell me it did.”
