Feedback: By all means, I’ll read it, but if I don’t reply it’s because im such a lazy bastard don’t take it personally.

Summary: Ok, this idea has been brewing in my mind since that sad day season 7 started. It starts just the same, then I introduce my original character, Briannus, from there much suspense in sues, but I promise there will be Willow Tara goodness and much other goodness.

Notes: Briannus is a demon from heaven, as old as the earth, he is one of the strongest beings in existence, with one draw back, an altercation with the first eons ago left him infected with evil, and if he gets mad he goes insane, short and simple, if hes pissed anyone on a 250 mile radius is screwed. There will be the SIT’s in this story and I will try to stay as true to the season 7 that was shown that I can.



Chapter 1 New Beginnings



        Buffy and Dawn Summers walked through the ever growing rows of tombstones that inhabited the Sunnydale Cemetery. They were on the lookout for your run of the mill vampires and demons, you know nothing to heavy for Dawn.

        “This is so cool that you take me patrolling with you now, I mean I must have gotten so much stronger then I was at the beginning of the summer,” Dawn said enthused about slaying.

        “Yeah, you looked really strong about getting bit by that vamp a couple nights ago,” Buffy shot back.

        “Hey, that was an unfair fight I mean he blind sided me after I had dusted one,” Dawn responded

        “Oh yeah, two vamps, as I remember I had to fight off at least four just to get to you!,” Buffy laughed. Just as Dawn was about to respond a group of five vamps comes out of a crypt ready to hunt. “To be continued,” Buffy said.

        Dawn drew a stake out of her coat and spotted the smallest one, finding it easier to take on someone her own size. She came at him and landed a Strong punch to his face, but the vamp came back with a punch of his own. On the other side Buffy was taking on the other four, she landed a roundhouse to the tallest one and sent him flying while she took on the other three. After staking one quickly she went after the big guy who was back up. Dawn had managed to get the smaller guy against a wall where she was able to pin him and stake him.

        “Ha, I got it!,” she yelled. But, her enthusiasm was short lived as another vamp came at her, Dawn braced herself for the fight, but as she got ready the vamp drew a knife from his pocket. “Hey, no fair, you guys are already stronger then me, you don’t need any more advantages.”

        “We need every advantage we can get against the likes of the slayer,” the vamp said. He lunged at Dawn and she avoided it easily, but he second attempt put a gash into her upper arm spraying blood across a cross behind Dawn. She cried out in pain, but took the advantage to kick the vamp in the neither region, he went to his knees and she was able to stake him.

        Buffy having dusted the remaining vamps ran to her sisters side. “Here let me see it,” she said. Dawn cried out as buffy looked at the wound. “Oh don’t be such a baby, it’s not even that deep, there will be a little scar but nothing that won’t heal.”

        As Buffy moved she noticed a gold cross in the just behind Dawn, “That seems odd,” she thought confused “I’ve walked by this place hundreds of times over the past six years and never have I noticed a gold cross, Oh well must be the moonlight or something.” She helped Dawn up and headed home.



        As they headed out of the cometary neither of them noticed a dull blue light that was coming out of the newly discovered golden cross, it headed straight up into the clouds and just as it was getting brighter it erupted with a bolt into the clouds. Then an ominous rumbling started.

       

        “God, why does it always have to start to rain when I’m walking?” Buffy complained as she helped Dawn walk down the side walk.

        “Maybe the heavens just like to see you wet?” Dawn said dizzily

        “I think your getting goofy from the blood loss, and you haven’t even lost that much.” Buffy laughed, “You need to rest, we’ll clean the wound and get you to bed.”

        “No, I’m fine really,” Dawn said staggering like a drunk as she tried to walk

        “Ok rummy, lets just get you home.” They both laughed as they headed up Revello Drive towords home. “And don’t forget you have school tomorrow missy.”

        Dawn’s smile was immediately replaced with a frown. “Don’t remind me, its bad enough they reopened Sunndale High, but it’s right where the old one was, I mean something is gonna happen tomorrow you just know it.” Buffy’s face was sadden at the fact her sister was scared but couldn’t help but feel the same.

        “Don’t worry nothing is gonna happen, I will see to that.” She said as they headed into the house.



        The rain had started to pour now, Buffy and Dawn were both fast asleep as the thunder and lightning rumbled through Sunnydale. But this storm was very different the lightning was not its usual while and yellow, but instead a bright blue and the lightning was a little too close to the ground, but did not burn trees when it hit them, then it calmed for a moment, but that moment was cut short when a gigantic blue bolt came crashing into the ocean, water was sent splashing and waves crashed the beach, another pause, then the biggest clap of thunder imaginable was released the rumble seemed to shake all of Sunnydale, any vamp still out would have gone running for cover. This woke Buffy up with a start, her slayer hearing making her ears ring something fierce. “What the hell was that!” she screamed. “Man this is the worst storm ever!” she fell back down on the bed and covered her ears with another pillow.

       

        Along the beach the storm was calming, the waves were slowing and not as fierce, then someone, or something appeared out of the blue ocean, he was tall with big muscles and eyes that were completely green. A smirk formed on his lips as he blinked as his eyes turned to a human form, very dark green. He walked along the beach, until he noticed his naked body, he stopped, then closed his eyes, the next thing you know he was clothed in shorts a t-shirt and sandals, he looked like he was going to a concert, not a being from the netherworlds.

        The demon made his way slowly into the cemetery, he was walking with determination, walking through the rows not caring about the stench of death he detected so strongly, then just as he came upon the grave he wanted, a group of demons came upon him.

        “You know we don’t like it when new demons come onto our turf,” the largest demon said, “tells us your looking for a fight.”

        “You don’t want to fight me,” the new demon said in a deep and strong voice. “You don’t have a chance in hells against me.”

        As the demos got ready to strike he turned around, eyes completely green again and produced a large ax out of thin air, as the lunged he caught all four of them with swift blows and they all died instantly, three of the bodies disappeared, but the fourth remained. “I could use a snack,” he said laughing as he picked up the corpse and began to devour it. “Could use salt.” he joked in a serious voice for any other demons around him as a warning to what he would to to them if they crossed him.

        After he had finished his “snack” the demon returned to the grave he was at, the stone was simple in gold letters it said the girls name, had her birth and death date, and the word Always. He crouched down and looked at the stone once more touched to feel the power

        “It’s still there,” he said a smile on his lips once again “To right wrongs produced in the past one must do what he must do.” he said as his eyes once more changed back to human and he walked off into the night.

Chapter 2 The Smell of Sin



        Slowly the demon made his way through the streets of Sunnydale, not caring about any of the many humans and demons a like that were just starring at him, they could smell the death on him, that he had just killed and mauled something. Still early though, he made his way up Revello drive, he stopped at one particular house and looked at it, blinking his eyes once again changed to green, but this time he could see through the walls, into the house, and could see all of the power it held.

        “A slayer,” he said to himself. “Oh, and a key, so this is the house.” slowly he walked past the house and up the walk of the neighbors house. With ease he used his magic to unlock the door and walked into the dwelling.

        Slowly he went up stairs, towords the only life he sensed in the house, he opened the door to the bedroom and found a woman asleep.

        “Judgement cometh” he said and the woman stirred, opened her eyes and tried to scream, but could not speak. “Ha, don’t try to talk it will only hurt you more, now im going to need your house, is that ok?” he waits for an answer, “I’ll take your silence as a yes, but just so you know you’ve seen me so I can’t let you go.” He walked towords her with a slick grin on his face, and the women couldn’t even fight.

        “Don’t worry, I smell the sin on you, but it’s not enough to keep you from peace.” His face changed into something out of a 1980’s B horror flick, only green bumps and a mouthful of sharp fangs. The woman had no chance as he went straight for her throat, his favorite spot, the blood was always so fresh there.

       

        Thousands of miles away from the hellmouth, a red head witch sat alone in her thoughts, well thought, she only really thought about one thing any more. Her face, her hair, and of course her body. As she thought a smile came across her face, she was the only thing that could make her smile any more ‘Tara’ she thought as she looked at the clouds ‘I know your up there, and I hope you know that I still love you’ a tear came to her eye as she thought of the day she lost everything.

        “Just out for a walk?” came a british accent from behind her. “Or maybe, you have something else on your mind?” Giles said as he came up behind her.

        “I go back in only one day Giles,” Willow said as she looked up at him. “I don’t know if I’m ready for this, I mean I hurt all of them, I tried to destroy the world, they are going to hate me for it, and what if I lose it again, I mean sometimes I can feel it coming deep inside like its taking me over..” She said as her mind went into babble mode for the first time since she had come to England.

        “Willow, I think that you are much better then you know,” Giles laughed at the girl he had come to see as a daughter to him. “The coven has done everything that we can to help you, and you have done very well, you also now know the price magic pays. As for your friends, they know that it wasn’t you that hurt them and tried to destroy the world, and they still love you the same.” he said it with such love that Willow had to believe him and she leaned into hug him.

        “It’s never going to be the same Giles, I mean sure the day I come back there will probably be an apocolypse and Buffy will save the world once again, but I mean what will I be to them? the same old Willow who helped research and did magic, no, I’ll be the new I almost ended the world and you can’t trust me with magic because if I lose it I might succeed Willow.” She said hitting another babble mode.

        “Nothing may be the same Willow, but your family will still love you, and I have faith you will not lose control again.” he said as he helped her up and they began to walk back to the coven.



       

        “Along the way I closed my eyes, I lost where I was going the more it will spin the more I try.”

        Buffy woke with a start as she heard someone singing ‘Flowing’ by 311 in the shower. “God, she sure is happy for a day I still dread,” she said as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

        She cleaned of some of the condensation for the fogged up mirror and looked at herself, her hair was a little messy, but overall she couldn’t complain. Dawn continued to sing the song she had had stuck in her head since she heard it when her alarm clock went off earlier. Then hearing her sister turn on the faucet she poked her head out of the shower.

        “Morning Buff,” she said

        “You seem a little too happy about this whole first day of school thing,” she said suspicously. “Your not planning on ditching are you, Xander didn’t say he was gonna take you somewhere instead of school right?”

        “No, I plan on going to school today, and having a great day, because I feel that if I think school is fun I won;t hate it so much, its all a psycological thing.” she said as she turned off the shower.

        “Jeez you sounded just like Willow there for a minute,” Buffy said, but right when she did the atmosphere changed.

        “I can’t wait for her to get home,” Dawn said with a smile, she actually wanted to see Willow, even after the things she had said when she lost her control, she needed someone who reminded her of Tara and Willow was the closest thing to Tara she had.

        “Yeah,” Buffy said she wanted to see Willow too, but worried about how she would react to being here again. “I thing with her back it will be like one big family again.” She walked over and hugged Dawn “It’s all going to be fine, now get ready so you won’t be late.”





        Next door a body lay on the ground, the throat torn out, and blood pooled around it, the demon walked in a eyed it ‘Can’t have that around here, makes me too hungary’ then with a short phrase under his breath the body vanished.

        “Nice Briannus,” a voice came from behind him, “I thought you’d stopped killing humans?”

        “Well, not all together, besides I couldn’t let her go and let my presence be known, I mean people figure out who I am and I got demon hunters and slayers after me, and I just couldn’t have that.” Briannus, the heavinly demon said. “When did you get here any way Grace.”

        “Oh, I’ve been following you since you rose last night, very original way to get you out of heaven by the way.”

        “Actually, that was by accident, worked out for the best though, now I need to find the spell to do what I was sent to do.” he said a smile crossing his face

        Waving her hands in the sir the middle aged woman standing by Briannus now help a piece of parchment. “Here, it has what you need to know, plus tells you what you need to make this thing work.”

        “I owe for this Grace.” he said as he moved to hug her.

        “Your already paying me back Brian, just bring my daughter back.” she said as she moved towords the door, and immediatly dissappeared as she walked through it. Briannus just stood there and looked at the parchment in his hand, “Blood of the beloved and a mystical catalyst, hmm, I think i know where to get these.” he said as he headed out of the room.



        for the purposes of this fic I didn’t want to rewrite the whole school scene, so it all happened like in that episode Spike is back and all that jazz, Buffy got her job at the school and all that.



Ok thats all for now, I have stories to for my newspaper and I might not have time to update for a bit but I will probaly get another update up soon.

Note: For this chapter, I changed some things, Willow comes home in the evening not the day, and she doesn’t do the whole invisablity thing. Besides that it’s totally different. Enjoy!



Last Time....

       

        Waving her hands in the sir the middle aged woman standing by Briannus now help a piece of parchment. “Here, it has what you need to know, plus tells you what you need to make this thing work.”

        “I owe for this Grace.” he said as he moved to hug her.

Chapter 3 Welcome Home



        Willow had felt horrible, even though Giles had reassured her time and time again that everything was going to be fine and her family still loved her, but she still couldn’t come to feel comfortable with the fact she was going to be home in less then ten minutes.

        ‘Maybe they will just not show up and leave a note that says I’m not welcome’ she thought. ‘That will take a load off my back.’

        As the pilot came over the speaker telling them they would be landing at the Sunnydale airport in a few minutes she got very nervous, ‘Tara I wish you were here’ she thought of her dead lover and smiled a sad smile once more, she had been doing it almost daily for the past two months.

        As the plane landed and the passengers started to file out, she slowly got up and started to walk, hoping that just maybe her friends would be there waiting.



        “I don’t know if you needed to make a sign, I mean she probably doesn’t want a ton of attention drawn to her,” Xander said as they stood at the terminal waiting for Willow to get off of her flight.

        “I just wanted her to know that we still care about her and that we know that wasn’t her a few months ago,” Dawn said as she held a brightly colored sign that said “Welcome Home Willow” on it.

        “Yeah, she’s right Xander, Will is gonna need all of our support and love until she is back on her feet.” Buffy said as she looked over the crowds of people for her best friend.

        Just as she said that they saw a familiar head of red hair became visible in the crowds of people.

        “There she is!” Buffy shouted over the people, “C’mon lets go,” she said as she dragged Dawn and Xander with her.



        Willow was beginning to feel very lonely and she had just gotten off of the plane, ‘what did you expect Rosenberg, you almost killed all of them, god you stupid to even think that they would care about you now.,

        “Will!, Will!” Willow turned around as she heard a familiar voice call out her name, and when her eyes connected with Buffy she felt like a deer in the head lights. “Will, O my god it’s so great to see you,” Buffy said as she ran up and hugged her.

        “Yeah, Haven’t seen you since that great time we had up on that cliff, great to see you went back to the red hair,” Xander said with a laugh as he went to wrap her in a warm hug after Buffy was finished.

        “Yeah, really sorry about that, I don’t know what happened to me,” willow said as she remembered that horrifying day in which she almost ended the world.

        “Hey Will, we know that wasn’t you,” Dawn said as she showed Willow the sign she made for her, “Hey, look I made this great sign with that art kit you and Tara got for me...” Dawn trailed off as she saw the red headed witches face change to a very solemn one. “God I’m so sorry I didn't mean to..”

        “No, it’s ok Dawnie, you can say her name, I know you miss her just as much as I do,” Willow said as she went to hug Dawn, “And that is a great sign.”

        “I just wanted to you know welcome you back festively you know, just so you know we still love you,”

        “Well, what would make her think that we ever stopped loving her,” Xander said as they walked out of the airport and to Xander’s car.

        “Guys, I just need to say this before we go,” Willow said as they stopped before getting in the car. “I am so sorry about what I did to you guys, I mean almost killed all of you and said somethings that were really mean, and tried to end the world, I mean I know that I hurt all of you, and if you don’t want me around just say it and I’ll leave.”

        “God, I’ve really missed Willow-babble,” Buffy said as she went to hug Willow again. “We would never stop loving you Will, and we know that it wasn’t you that did those last time, you were hurt and we know that.”

        “You mean just like that you forgive me, like that,” she said as her eyes began to water, “I hurt you all.”

        “Hey it’s ok, we love you Will, and I don’t think we will ever stop,” Xander said as he opened the door for her to get in.



        The ride to Casa De Summers was filled with talk of Willow’s time in england, not touching to much on her magic problems, but more on the scenery she saw, and how Giles was. With a few things about how the other scoobies were.

        As they walked into the house Willow stopped, she sensed a strong magical power around the area, ‘Maybe it was left from my whole breakdown thing’ she thought as she walked into the house.

        If only she would have looked into the next door neighbors house and seen a pair of green orbs staring at her.

        “Ha, it’s all falling into place now,” Briannus said with a smile as he walked out the door, “maybe I can get a few good kills in tonight before a take a good long nap.” he said as he started out towards the cemetery.



        Buffy walked through the rows of graves as she looked for the one grave in particular she was looking for, “Ahh there you are Dan Price,” Buffy said as she came across the fresh grave in which the occupant had died of ‘Neck Rupture’.

        Just as she sat on the opposite tombstone to rest, the ground started to move, and out of the earth came a hand, then another, and then a head of a vampire.

        “all right let’s do this, my best friends just came home and I don’t want to spend all night chasing you around,” she said as the vampire looked at her, but then he turned around and started to run in the other direction, “Damnit, I hate runners.”

        As the vamp turned the corner he hid behind a large statue and then ran in the opposite direction, “Ha, stupid girl, I showed her,” The vamp said as he came into a clearing and spotted a man standing by a grave, “mmm, dinner.”

        As he approached the man he sensed something funny, but put it off to his new abilities and continued to run at the vamp, then just as he was about to pounce Buffy ran into the clearing and yelled, “Hey, watch out!.”

        The vamp was caught off guard and didn’t notice a man turn around with green eyes blazing a whole through him, when he finally did it was too late and he was being held in the air by his throat. “Stupid vampire! you think you have a shot against me!” Briannus yelled as an amazed Buffy looked on in wonder. The demons grip on the other demon was amazing, it looked like all he had to do was close his hand to crush his neck, which is just what he did as the vamp turned into a pile of dust.

        “Oh my god, that was awesome, he who are you,” an amazed Buffy asked as she ran up to the man

        “Slayer, I had hoped we’d get the chance to meet,” just as Briannus said that, Buffy noticed the tombstone he was standing in front of

        “Hey, what are you doing by Tara’s grave,” Buffy asked as she began to look a little scared.

        “Slayer, please I mean no harm to you, I only wish to maybe help you a little, but to do that, there may be much hurt in store for you. and by the way I’m Brian,” He said as he turned around and stared up at the clear sky

        “Oh yeah hurt me, I’d like to see you try after I get done with you!” Buffy said as she went to kick the demon in the back, ut just as she was about to connect, he vanished into thin air. “Oh that is not fair,” she said as she got up and looked around, “I’m going get him, oh yeah, hurt me? I think not.” she said as she walked out of the cemetery, not noticing a pair of green eyes staring at her through a group of trees.

        “I’m not going to hurt you slayer, oh no, but your not going to like what's coming if you can’t even touch me.” he said as he walked out of the trees and onto the sidewalk.



Ok so ends part 3, hopefully the creativty and motivation stays through tomarrow, then I will get part 4 up, if not who knows

Hey meanie!!! Yeah, you....... you with the cliffhangers, heehee. Yeappers, chapter 3, definitely great!!! And, what the frilly heck is he planning on doing at Tara's grave. Then again, I think I have a clue... But I will just wait until you update again. Awesome work!!! Keep it up and hope to see more soon.... =)

Last time....

        “Hey, what are you doing by Tara’s grave,” Buffy asked as she began to look a little scared.

        “Slayer, please I mean no harm to you, I only wish to maybe help you a little, but to do that, there may be much hurt in store for you. and by the way I’m Brian,” He said as he turned around and stared up at the clear sky

Chapter 4 Resurfacing



        “And when I went to attack him he just went poof and vanished,” Buffy said as she talked to Xander at his construction site. “It was really weird though, because he seemed stronger then me, I mean I think he could have beaten if he wanted.”

        “Well, we’ve met big bads before that have seemed stronger than you, but we always win Buff, I mean were the scoobies, we always prevail.” Xander said as he clocked out for lunch and walked with Buffy over to his car.

        “I don’t think that he’s here to hurt us Xander, I mean I didn’t get that sort of creepy vibe from him,” Buffy said as they got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot. “But, that wasn’t the weirdest part.”

        “Crushed a vamps neck to decapitate him, then disappearing wasn’t the weirdest part, man I gotta know what this guy did next,” Xander said as he glanced at Buffy from the driver side of the car.

        “Well, it was the grave he was by,” Buffy said pausing to think again about the name on the stone she saw. “It was Tara’s.”

        Xander slammed on the brakes in the middle of the street, “What!” he said as he looked at the slayer in disbelief, “He was by Tara’s grave and you didn’t find out why?”

        “Hey, it’s like I didn’t try, I mean I asked what he was doing and he just avoided the subject, said something about helping us, but there might be hurt along the way.” she said as Xander started to move the car after several people passed him making some gestures he didn’t appreciate.

        “Well, we need to do the research thing, get will to look up demons with, what did you say green eyes?” he asked as he looked at the slayer again.

        ‘yeah, and he goes by the name Brian, unusual for a demon ill say, but he did look like a Brian,” Buffy said with a confused smile.

        “You care what this thing looks like, he was by Tara’s grave, Willow is gonna go psycho!” he said

        “No! we can not tell Will about this, I don’t think that she has fully recovered from that yet, and I don’t want her to dwell on thinking that someone might do something to Tara’s body,” Buffy said as they headed into the double meat palace for lunch. “Ugh, I just quit a job here, I know what goes in the food, it might not be human, but I think it might just be worse.”

        “Oh c’mon I know that you loved the job here, giving me free food, killing demons that ate your co-workers,” he said as they walked up to the cashier, one Buffy had worked many a shift with.

        “Your back,” the cashier said, “They don’t usually come back, oh well, we need help at the grill.”

        “Woah, not here to work here to eat sadly,” Buffy said as she realized this was going to be a long day.



        It was now late, too late for any one to be up, yet to early for any sane person to be awake. Maybe that’s why Briannus was up, he hardly considered himself in any way human, but if he was he’d like to think people considered him insane, made him feel different.

        Slowly and quietly he walked out into his new back yard, with ease he jumped the fence separating his yard and the slayers. Next, he moved to the door, concentrating he noticed a faint protection spell on it, probably used to keep out a vampire that was once allowed, but nothing that could keep him out. He concentrated on the lock and within a second the lock was unlocked, and he was inside the house.

        His eyes once again changed from human, but this time to a pale white as he checked the surroundings for any traces of what he had sensed since he walked in, dark magic's, he hated them. Being from heaven he only used light magic's, and despised any being that used dark magic's. But, then it dawned on him.

        “The beloved, she used the dark magic's,” his eyes turned to look above him then he saw a being who was tainted by those magic's, “hmm very strong in any kind of magic's, but seduced by the darkness,” he saw that the magic in her was slowly changing back to the light, but it would not last, she needed something to help her get through it or she would be lost.

        ‘Maybe that’s where I can help’ he thought as he moved to the basement and went down the stairs.

        When he reached the basement floor he went to the center, slowly he concentrated on the cement in the floor, and within no time a circular piece hovered above the ground, beneath it, a hole about six inches deep.

        He then produced a silver orb from the air around him, moving his hands over it, and tapping it twice, the orb changed from a pale silver, to a bright blue color. He dropped the orb in the hole and placed the piece of cement over it, then he watched as the breaks in the cement vanished.

        Sure that he was complete he headed back up the stairs, out the door and over the fence once again, but not before looking back on the house once more and saying “I only need the medallion, then I can finally do this.”

        Getting the madallion proved a harder task then he thought, he had to kill 14 Migotti demons, which is very tough to do with two others by him, but alone he managed, he walked out of the cave where the medallion was kept covered in green blood, some his some not, his eyes turned green as he looked out over the town.

        “So peaceful,” he said as he looked at the sun rising above Sunnydale. “No one knows that what's coming could easily wipe all of them out, and leave nothing, but, they continue on with their lives, ignorance is bliss.”





        Willow looked up from her laptop to the door of her room and saw Dawn standing there.

        “Hey Dawnie, you having trouble with your homework?” she said as Dawn moved to sit beside her on the bed.

        “Nope, got it all done earlier,” she said as she leaned against Willow. “Just wanted to spend some time with you, you know we haven’t had a hole lot of time to do that lately.”

        “Well, I have only been here for two days,” the hacker said as she gave Dawn a hug. “But, if you wanna do something, I’m sure I can spare a few hours for you.”

        “Okay! what do you want to do, we could watch a movie, or go to the Bronze, or maybe go get some ice cream?”

        “Umm, don’t know how ready I am for the crowds of people thing, how bout we just watch a movie?” the red said as she got off of the bed as stretched.

        “Okay, I’ll go get it ready!” Dawn said ash she ran down stairs, Willow could only smile as she realized the even Dawn, the one she felt was hurt the most by her actions only a few months prior, forgave her.





        Slowly Buffy made her way up the stairs, not knowing what could be at any turn, Xander behind her held his jacket closed.

        ‘It was freezing in here’ he thought as he made way through the the doorway

        “God, this place creeps me out, I mean who would live in a place with this decor?” Buffy said, but just as she did, something appeared behind them ready to strike

        “Hey! what the hell are doing in my apartment?” Anya yelled at the slayer and her ex. “I mean you don’t just barge into someone's home without knocking, besides being against the law, it’s incredibly rude.”

        “Coming straight from the definition of rude, I think that’s a compliment,” Buffy shot back as she moved to sit down.

        “Hey, you don’t talk like that to me in my house, I’m a demon again, I think I could take you now.” Anya said as she moved to grab Buffy, but as she did Xander grabbed her.

        “Look Anya, were only here to ask you some questions, then we’ll leave you alone,” he said as he gave Anya the look of love he had given her so many times before.

        Anya could never say no to it, “Oh, all right, but make it quick, I mean it’s not like I’m gonna get any orgasms from talking to you guys.” she said as she sat on the chair opposite of Buffy.

        “We need to know about a demon, it had green eyes, really strong, called itself Brian?’ Buffy said as she remembered the being from the previous night.

        “Oh him,” Anya said also remembering a time with the demon.

        “You know what it is,” Xander said with disbelief.

        “Xander, we demons are not its, and Brian is a he,” she said as she got up to tell the story. “He’s a complex demon to say the least, I mean a real cold blooded killer if you pissed him off, but besides that, a real cool guy, can really party.”

        “You actually partied with him?” Xander said not believing her.

        “Yeah, we hung out a couple times while I was spending some time in Poland during the beginning of World War II. Anyway, that’s not the point. His real name is Briannus, he’s from the heavens, and he is the probably the strongest being physically and Magically on the planet right now.”

        Buffy didn’t know what to do now, she could think of what this meant.

        “So what was he doing by Tara’s grave?’ Xander said as he shifted his focus from Anya to Buffy and back again.

        “Hold on, he was by Tara’s grave?” Anya said. “Oh shit, that can’t be good.”

        “What do you mean?” Buffy said as she got up.

        “Buffy, if he was by Tara’s grave then there is no doubt in my mind what he plans to do,” Anya said as she moved closer to the window that overlooked the cemetery. “He’s gonna try to bring her back.”



Ok now you know his motive, next will be is action, and hopefully that will be up by tomarrow, if not then the next day

Last Time....



        “So what was he doing by Tara’s grave?’ Xander said as he shifted his focus from Anya to Buffy and back again.

        “Hold on, he was by Tara’s grave?” Anya said. “Oh shit, that can’t be good.”

        “What do you mean?” Buffy said as she got up.

        “Buffy, if he was by Tara’s grave then there is no doubt in my mind what he plans to do,” Anya said as she moved closer to the window that overlooked the cemetery. “He’s gonna try to bring her back.”



Chapter 5: Mystical Catalyst



        “Okay were all set,” Dawn said as she and Willow sat down on the sofa to watch a move. Dawn hadn’t wanted to watch a sappy romantic movie, for fear it would remind Willow of Tara, nor did she want to watch a action movie for the same reason, so she chose one of the oh so many comedies out there, she had borrowed American Pie from a friend earlier that week, so she decided to watch it.

        “Dawnie, are you sure Buffy would appreciate you watching this movie, I mean look at all this bad language and adult content,” Willow said as the movie progressed.

        “Oh please, if Buffy only new of some of the things I watched, besides I’m almost 16, I’m gonna be able to drive soon, why won’t you guys treat me like an adult?” she said looking at Willow.       

        “Hey, I think that you are very mature and should be treated as an adult, now back to the movie, I can’t help but feel connected with this band geek, she’s so much like me during high school,” Willow said as Dawn giggled at her comment.



        Outside the Summers residence, Briannus stood there, just staring at the door as if willing it to open, but not wanting it too, he was planning, he needed to get those two out of the house, near his target, but how.

        “Maybe it will just happen,” he said as he turned to head to his surrogate house, next to the slayers house. “Yeah, I bet I can get this done by the end of the night,” he said optimistically as he went into the house and closed the door.

        Once inside, he came face to face with a familiar blonde woman.

        “Why isn’t my daughter back yet?” Grace said as she stared Brian down

        “I only have to get those two next door to the site, then I can do it,” he said as he moved to sit down on the couch.

        “I’m putting my trust in you Brian, the powers that be might like this idea,” she said as she moved to sit down beside him, “but, I have seen the future without Tara, and it is not a pretty one.”

        “I know, I know,” he said as he stood up, a little agitated by all of the pressure being put on him. “I’m risking my demon hood by doing this, if you wrong and she wasn’t supposed to die, then I’m pretty much screwed.”

        “Don’t worry it will all be fine,” Grace said as she went to exit, “I know in my heart she wasn’t supposed to die, now you need to right that wrong Brian, tonight.”

        As she disappeared Briannus got up and looked at the window as he noticed to figures starting to move around in the slayers house, his eyes turned completely white as he peered into there mystic abilities, “Tonight.”





        “I have to say that I could have done without that whole pie scene,” Willow said as she got up off of the couch and walked into the kitchen, she peered out the window as her thoughts shifted from the movie to a very familiar thought, a beautiful blonde.

        “Do you want to go see her?” Dawn said as she walked into the kitchen.

        “Yeah, that would be great,” willow said, she was ready to accept this, she just needed to see her one more time.

        “Okay, let me get my coat,” Dawn said as she ran upstairs, she was happy that she could help Willow with this, plus she would have an excuse to go to see Tara’s grave..again.

        They made their way out of the house, and down the street towards a very sad spot in both of their hearts. Neither noticed the being walking behind then cautiously.

        “It’s right up here,” Dawn said pausing, “I come here a lot, you know, I like to think that if I talk to it, she will hear me.”

        “Yeah I know what you mean,” Willow said as she braced her self for the wave of emotion she knew was going to hit her. Nothing could have prepared her though, when she saw the name in gold on the stone she immediately fell to her knees in front of it. “hey baby,” she said choking back her sobs. Slowly she traced the letters of the name over and over again.

        Neither noticed the vampire that had just raised in the grave only a few plots back, he thought he had himself an easy first meal.

        As he approached though something grabbed him from out of a bush, “not tonight pal,” Briannus said, “those two are mine,” he said as she produced a steel stake from out of thin air, and hit the vamp right in the chest, then with a wave of his hand the stake vanished.



       

        “Wait, wait,” Xander said as he got his composure back, “Why would he want to bring her back?”

        “I don’t know but he has been taking orders from the powers that be for the past 500 years and almost all of them have been for resurrections,” Anya said, remembering witnessing one of the such times she was with him. “He is one of the only being strong enough to master the magic's for a pure resurrection.”

        “Then how di you manage to do it to me?” Buffy asked confused by the statement.

        “Your death was mystical, and you died defending this dimension, so the powers that be gave you a second chance,” Anya said as she turned to face Buffy. “But, for people who have died because of human means and couldn’t be brought back by regular magic's, Briannus can do it.”

        “Well, there still is the question of ‘why?’” Xander said as he scratched his head in confusion.

        “Maybe we should get to her grave,” Anya said as she moved to the door, “If you spoke with him last night, then he is gonna do it soon, he likes to work quickly.”

        The three of them rushed out the door and towards the cemetery that was right by Anya’s apartment complex.





        Briannus moved quickly but quietly behind the two women, he had to catch them by surprise he if he wanted to get the ingredients he needed.

        “I miss you so much,” he heard Willow say as she continued to trace the letters of her dead lovers name.

        “Your pain may be eased by the end of the night,” he said as the two by the grave turned around in surprise to find themselves staring ito two burning green eyes, blue streak of lightning flashed across the sky as they got closer to each other.



        “Come on you guys,” Buffy said sprinting towards the spot she had stopped by many times after patrol.

        “Hey, your a slayer,” Xander said panting. “Your made for this type of thing.”

        “Woah,” Anya said as they all stopped as the sky started to release blue lightning bolts. “were close, that Briannus’s magic, he’s harnessing it.”

        “His magic is in lightning,” Xander sid as they started to run again.

        “Well, it’s a long story,” Anya said as they ran through some trees, “I’ll tell you if we live through this.”

        “What makes you think that he will hurt us,” Buffy said as they rounded the bend before the clearing Tara’s grave was in.

        “Yeah, I thought he was all nice and heavenly,” Xander said

        “Heavenly, yes, nice, well he is when people aren’t screwing up his job,” Anya said as they entered the clearing

        “Oh god,” was all Buffy got out before they all stopped dead in their tracks. There they saw the demon they were after standing there with his hands in the air, but that wasn’t what scared them, it was the to women standing no the grave, and the two gigantic balls of blue energy now formed above them in the clouds.

       



        “What to do you want!” Willow yelled at him as he raised his hands in the air.

        “I only wish to help,” Briannus said as he started to chant the incantation, “All will be explained later.”

        “We’ll see about that,” Willow said as she started to build up some of her magical energy for a defensive spell, but just as she did, she felt her energy bottled, binded in her.

        “Don’t try that with me Willow,” he said as he stared down the red headed witch

        ‘How does he know my name’ Willow said not wanting to ask the question, for fear of the answer.

        “I have to do this,” he said as he put his hands down from the air and pointed them at the two women, then shouted a few choice words in latin. The two balls of energy above them shot lightning bolts that struck each of the women.

        As the bolts went through them, cuts broke open on there on their hands, and blood began to pour out onto the earth of Tara’s grave. After enough had fallen, he stopped the flow, and threw the two women away from the grave and by their friends who had cautiosly began to move up.

        “See,” he said looking back at the two shaken women who were now getting to their feet. “That didn;t hurt at all.”

        Buffy was ready to go into action, she got ready to charge at the demon, but Anya grabbed her, “hey, you might be a slayer, but he will still kill you without a second thought, he doesn’t care how many times you’ve saved the world, he’s done it more.”

        Buffy saw no good thing in dying, so she calmed down for the time being.

        Briannus was now summoning the portal to O’sirus, he had to get the soul released.

        “O’sirus, release the soul for which I desire,” he yelled as O’sirus appeared in the sky.

        “Briannus, the soul which you desire cannot be released, the powers that be have not given me permission.” he said as he began to close the portal, but as he did, Briannus summond some deep powers within him, and kept the portal open.

        “You’ve never seen my true powers,” he said, “I can hurt you bad enough to release that soul, now I don;t want to have to, but I will.”

        “I’m sorry,” he said trying to close the portal,”but, it can’t be done.”

        As he said that Briannus shot a bolt of lightning, into the portal that hit O’sirus right in the face.

        He screamed, but could still not close the portal, “If I release the soul, you have to promise that you will not implicate me to the powers,” he said still feeling immense pain for the bolt that hit him.

        “Fine, just release the soul,” he said as a ball of light slowly decended from the sky.

        Willow immediately felt something inside her brighten as the ball of light went deep into the ground.

        Briannus went on with the chanting and concentrated on reuniting the body and soul, it was very hard though, he was getting interferance from something. This something didn’t want him to succeed, but he battled through it, the blood of the key really helped him to make it through what seemed to be a barrier of pure evil in the ground.

        He felt it, he was sure that willow had too, the soul was intact, and in Tara’s body, he was on the brink of passing out, the pain was excrusiating, but he had one last thing to do, slowly he managed to get the rest of his energy together, the earth started to move, raise.

        Willow got up and ran to where the earth was moving, she was about to make it to the demon when she ran into a barrier of magic protecting himself from anyone coming in. “Oh god, what’s he doing?” she yelled

        The coffin landed on the gound with a loud thud, as did Briannus soon after, Willow felt the magical barrier fall and ran to the coffin, the rest of the scoobies did the same except for Buffy who ran over to the demon who had started to get back up.

        Briannus knew it was coming, it happened after every resurrections he did, he sat up and started to heave, then he threw up a white milky liquid, pure power, lethal to any human, it burned the ground as it evaporated towards the heavens.

        Willow ran over to the coffin and tore open the lid, she wasn;t thinking about what she would see, only what had happened to Tara’s body. She lost it when she saw her dead lover, the tears fell, she laid her head on her lovers chest and just cried.

        Just as she had something happened, Tara’s heart started again faintly, then got stronger, and a pair or blue eyes shot open, in wonder and disbelief.

        “W-willow?”



Yeah, I'm leaving you hanging I know, but if it will mkae you tune in for the next installemtn, then I guess I'll do just about anything.

Last Time...



        The coffin landed on the gound with a loud thud, as did Briannus soon after, Willow felt the magical barrier fall and ran to the coffin, the rest of the scoobies did the same except for Buffy who ran over to the demon who had started to get back up.

        Briannus knew it was coming, it happened after every resurrections he did, he sat up and started to heave, then he threw up a white milky liquid, pure power, lethal to any human, it burned the ground as it evaporated towards the heavens.

        Just as she had something happened, Tara’s heart started again faintly, then got stronger, and a pair or blue eyes shot open, in wonder and disbelief.

        “W-willow?”





Chapter 6: Secrets Unveiled



        “W-willow” it was only a whisper, but Willow heard it like it was the only sound made in the world. “W-willow is that you.”

        “Yes sweetie,” Willow said as she lifted her head to meet the blue eyes she adored so much. “I’m sorry that you have to go through this baby.”

        “I’m not,” she said as she tried to move, but found her body to stiff to, “heaven was nice and all, but it’s not really heaven for me unless you are there.”

        These worlds hit Willow hard ‘does she know what I did’ Willow thought she was about to ask Tara what she knew about that when she heard Dawn come running up.

        “Tara, oh my god Tara!” she yelled as she threw herself down on the ground and into the blonde wiccans arms. “I missed you so much,” she said through her sobs.

        “it’s great to see you too Dawnie,” Tara said as she tried to move again.

        “It’s not that safe out here,” Buffy said as she helped Briannus up. “Let’s get back to our house,” she then turned to Briannus, “you’ve got some explaining to do,”

        Then she realized what was going on, and ran over to hug Tara, “sorry kinda forgot about you in all this confusion.”

        “I-it’s okay,” Tara said to the slayer as she helped her up and out of the coffin.



        They all walked down the streets of Sunnydale silently, Xander had tried to start a few conversations, but he was the only one not thinking of how this had worked or what was next.

       



        As they got to Casa de Summers, Willow immediately tried to take Tara upstairs to their bed, but the wiccan would not let here.

        “Honey, I want to know what's going,” Tara said as she struggled with Willow to get to the couch.

        “Tara, you need to get your rest,” Willow said as her mind went into babble mode, “You-you could get cramps, and could become dehydrated, then you could get sick and sickness is not good because sickness leads to hospitals and hospitals leads to only badness, and like I said badness is bad and goodness is good.”

        “Honey, I’ll be fine,” she said giving Willow a quick kiss, “Now help me to the couch.”

        Willow could only help her, she was still in the shock of the kiss, it may only have been a small one, but it was the first one in too long, she had to use her will not to jump on to Tara and ravage her right there in front of her friends.

        “You’ve got some explaining to do,” Buffy said as Briannus took a seat in one of the chairs in the room. “Just what do you mean by bringing Tara back, no offense Tara it’s great have to you back,”

        “Buffy, I told you what he does,” Anya said as she got up, “he works for the powers that be and does what they tell him, if they wanted Tara back, then she’s coming back.”

        “I didn’t do this for the powers,” Briannus said as he got up, “wait a minute, Anyanka! oh I haven’t seen you since the fourteenth century!”

        “Yeah, that was a good time, you really surprised me though when you slaughtered that group of Tri’ell demons with your bare hands,”

        “Yeah, those were the days, just running extermination for the powers, before they decided to make me their resurrection bitch.” he said as he took his seat again.

        “Hey, were a little of topic here,” Willow said looking across the table at the demon, “now you said you weren’t working for the powers, well who the hell are you working for!” she yelled as the rest of the crowd gasped at the words Willow would normally never say.

        “he’s working for me,” the group heard from the entryway to the room, there stood a tall blonde woman with a white robe on, no one knew who she was, except for Tara, she her knew all too well.

        ?M-m-mama?” she said, she couldn’t believe what was happening first, she gets put back on earth with her Willow, which was a very good thing, now her mother was here!

        “Yes sweet heart, I am the one who had Brian bring you back,” she said as she walked over to her daughter. “I have seen a future without you, and it is bleak, it is fair to say that there is no future without any of you, what’s coming is horrible, it;s the worst thing you’ll ever face, you think a hell god or a master vampire are bad, then think about what it’s gonna be like facing their boss.”

        “Wait, a hell god has a boss,” Buffy said confused

        “The first evil,” Briannus said as he got up, “why didn’t you tell me earlier, the powers that be would have okayed the resurrection and I wouldn’t be in trouble.”

        “I’m afraid that the powers are blind to this, they haven’t seen it like I have,” Grace said as she moved over to her daughter again, “Tara, I know that I am putting a lot on you by telling you this, I didn’t want to just rip you out of heaven,”

        “It’s okay mom, I didn’t really like it up there anyway.” Tara said as she snuggled up next to Willow, “My everything wasn’t there.”

        “Didn’t like heaven?” Buffy said in confusion, “I loved that place, everything was peaceful and easy, the life for me,” she said remembering her short stay in the afterlife.

        “Hey, I thought that we agreed not to talk about us ripping you out of heaven?” Xander said to Buffy

        “Sorry,” she said

        “Well, I’ve run out my stay on this plain,” Grace said as she turned back to her daughter, “You aren’t going to go through this alone, not by a long shot,” she said as she gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead and hugged her, then she turned to Briannus, “take care of her Brian, if she winds up in heaven before she is supposed to again! then I will personally make sure you are in pain for the rest of your existence,” she said cooly before vanishing into this air

        “Remind me not to let anything happen to you,” he said to Tara as he handed her a necklace, “It’s a protection charm, you’ve died, so the first can copy you, but if your wearing this, it won’t be able to, gives you a second life if you will.”

        “O-okay, thanks,” she said as she put the necklace on, “Sweetie I’m getting kinda tired, could we go up to bed?” she asked as she turned to Willow

        “Sure thing, let’s go,” Willow said as she protectively helped Tara up the stairs to there room.

        “We should get going too,” Xander said, then turned to Anya, “you need a ride home?”

        “Yeah, but don’t think your going to get any sexual favors out of this ride, we don;t do that anymore,” Anya said as they walked out the door.

        Dawn then turned and walked up the stairs to see if Willow and Tara needed anything.

        “Well, I guess I should be going,” Briannus said as he turned to leave.

        “Not so fast, Briannus, god that’s a weird name, anyway, I don’t want you straying to far, I still don’t trust you,” Buffy said as she went to the closet and grabbed a pillow, “you can sleep on the couch, and don’t go leaving in the middle of the night.”

        “I can’t make any promises,” he said as she laid down on the couch, “and call me Brian, Briannus is a stupid name.”

        “Yeah, got that right,” she said as she headed up the stairs, “night Brian,”

       



        “Honey, do you have everything you need, do you need a glass of water or some aspirin or anything?” Willow said as she paced the room making sure Tara had everything that she needed for her first night back.

        “Sweetie, I’m fine,” she said as she laid her head on the pillow, “now come to bed, you need some sleep too,”

        Willow did as she asked as got in bed next to her, not knowing what to do next, she had the urge to snuggle up next to her, but did Tara still want her, did she know about her falter with the dark magics? her questions were answered when Tara curled up onto Willow’s side.

        “Tara?” she asked the love of her life.

        “Hmm?” Tara said muffled by Willow’s body against her mouth.

        “Umm, this is kinda hard to talk about, but,” she was going to have to ask her if she knew sooner or later so why not now, “did you see what happened to me after you died,” there she said it, she felt very relieved.

        “Yes, I saw what happened,” Tara said as she sat up, “I saw all of the things you did, and what you tried to do, but I know that that wasn’t you, so I already forgave you,” Tara said as she leaned over Willow’s head and gave her another kiss, but this one was longer and more heated.

        She broke it apart and looked into Willow’s eyes, “I love you Willow, and nothing you do, could ever change that.”

        She laid back down against Willow and drifted off to sleep

        “I love you too baby,” Willow said with hot tears running down her face, she couldn’t believe Tara had already forgiven her, she still hadn’t forgiven her self, but all that didn’t matter, tonight she had her baby back, and she wasn’t going to let anything ruin that.





Okay I thought I'd end on a happy note, since i'd done a few cliff hangers in the past

Author Name: Beamer311

Disclaimer: I don’t own any of this stuff all Joss and ME, but I’m hoping to correct some of the wrongs they did in season 6.

Email: Beamer2131@yahoo.com

Pairing: W/T of course, possibly some Buffy/Spike possibly my orig. charc. Briannus could find an SIT he likes to early to tell

Distribution: Email me if you think you’d like to post it somewhere

Rating: PG-13 to R dont write sex scenes to well so dont count on many

Feedback: By all means, I’ll read it, but if I don’t reply it’s because im such a lazy bastard don’t take it personally.

Summary: Ok, this idea has been brewing in my mind since that sad day season 7 started. It starts just the same, then I introduce my original character, Briannus, from there much suspense in sues, but I promises there will be Willow Tara goodness and much other goodness.

Notes: Briannus is a demon from heaven, as old as the earth, he is one of the strongest beings in existence, with one draw back, an altercation with the first eons ago left him infected with evil, and if he gets mad he goes insane, short and simple, if hes pissed anyone on a 250 mile radius is screwed. There will be the SIT’s in this story, No JFK, but my creativity won’t let me stay true to season 7 now.

**Thoughts in single quote**



***New Note for this chapter: When Giles comes there will be SIT’s with him but no JFK so don’t even imagine her, I sure don’t. Also, the SIT’s names im not quiet sure of so I made my own.





Last time...

Chapter 7: I’m too lazy to keep coming up with titles for the chapters



        Tara was the first person to wake up the next morning, she had just come back from the dead, yet she still couldn’t sleep in. Instead, she took the time to look at Willow, her love, her everything. She couldn’t believe she had actually been given this gift, all that she wanted was to be with Willow again, she was so happy she couldn’t express it in words.

        But, her mother had told her there was an ulterior motive for bringing her back, she was important to stopping the first, but how? she wasn’t anything special.

        “Mmm, the dogs are going to take over the cattle ranch,” were the first words that Tara heard from the sleeping beauty beside her. She let a small giggle escape her, and it was enough to draw Willow out of her slumber.

        “Hey sweetie,” Tara said as she leaned in to kiss her red head.

        “Morning,” she said as she yawned.

        “Want to go get some food,” Tara asked, “I’m kinda hungary.”

        “Yes,” Willow said as she got up, “If my baby’s hungary then we are going to get you something to eat right away!” she said as she grabbed Tara and started to run downstairs.





        Buffy had been up for a while and was sitting with Brian at the table, they were swapping saving the world stories.

        “What can I get you,” Willow said as she led Tara in and set her down next to the demon.

        “Umm, anything really,” Tara said as Willow went from cubord to cubord looking for food to get her.

        “So, Tara how you holding up,” Brian said turning his eyes, now human, to the blonde wiccan.

        “I-i’m fine,” she said a little nervous around the demon, even though her mother had said that he was to protect her.

        “You need to start casting again,” he said to her then turned to speak to Willow, “and you need to help her,”

        “Hey, who made you the boss of all this,” Willow said making some eggs while pouring cereal into a bowl and putting bread into the toaster.

        “Well, I know a lot more about raising people from the dead than you do,” Brian said calmly to the red head, “I mean when I do it the person is supposed to come back.”

        Willow was livid, “Hey, I thought I was helping out a friend,” she said her anger starting to build.

        “Woah, Will take it easy,” Buffy said as she turned to Brian, “C’mon you there’s still some stuff I would like to know.”



        The day had gone fairly regularly, Buffy and Dawn went to school, only after Buffy had pried Tara loose from Dawn’s death hug and Tara had promised to have a Dawn night that night.

They were now sitting on the coach, Tara in the middle Willow on one side and Dawn on the other. Buffy in a chair and Brian levitating in an indian style position.

        “Wow, can you teach me that,” Buffy asked

        “This takes extreme patience and skill,” he said turning to the slayer.

        “Yeah,” Buffy said still wanting to know if she could learn, “So, can you teach me.”

        “Buffy, you don’t have extreme patience and skill,” Dawn said as they started to laugh.

        “Hey I do too,” she was about to explain how she could learn to do it when there was a knock at the door. She got up and went to the door, then opened it to find Giles standing there with three young girls behind him.

        “We have a slight apocolyspse,” he said waiting to get the fear from Buffy.

        “Yeah,” she said as she let them in, “We know, the first evil coming to take over this plain yada yada yada.”

        Giles was surprised, he was sure no one had contacted the slayer about the impending evil about to come.

        “How?” was all he could get out as they walked into the living room. He looked to the man levitating on the floor and didn’t recognize him, but he must be skilled to be able to do that.

        “Hello Willow, good to see you again,” he said to the red head on the couch, “Tara always a pleasure, Dawn good to see you,” he was about to talk to Buffy when he realized who was sitting next to Willow again, “Tara! how? when? why?” was all he got out before he fainted.



        Giles woke up again, he was still on the ground and the man he had seen levitating earlier was looking over him, but there was something different about him, his eyes were completely white, something that wasn’t normal in humans.

        “He’s fine,” the man said as he got back up and walked to the chair to sit down.

        “Okay let’s try this again,” Giles said as he got back up, “How is Tara back?”

        “Brian brought him back,” Willow said as she looked happily at Tara.

        “Who the bloody hell is Brian?” the watcher said looking to Buffy

        “I am,” said the man as he got up. “I’ve heard some stories about you Rupert, flings with dark magic's, death, then turning that all around to help the cause.”

        “Yes, well that’s great. but I don’t thing I’ve heard of you,” Giles said getting up.

        “Most people haven’t I’m like a demon myth, the demon from heaven that everyone says is out there, but no one has ever seen, and the ones who claim to have always see someone different.” Brian said getting up.

        “Oh wait, Briannus the pure,” Giles said as Brian reacted to his full name. “I have read of you, dealt with some of the worst demons of all time with ease, now you deal mostly in resurrections, makes sense now.”

        “Who are the girls Giles?” Dawn asked as she noticed the three nervous girls behind Giles.

        “Oh yes, I seemed to have forgotten them in the reappearance of Tara,” the watcher said turning to the girls. “These are Christine, Julie, and Piper, they are potential slayers.”

        “Why do you have potential slayers?” Tara asked Giles

        “Well, it seems that the first has been killing them off, if he can eliminate the potentials, then he can take out the real slayers more easily, and if he does that, then no one can stop him from being raised.” Giles answered her as he looked to Buffy.

        “Okay, no sense in getting to into this tonight,” Buffy said, the clock looking much later then she thought it was. “How bout we get some sleep all right?”

        “Umm, where should we sleep?” Julie asked.

        “Well, lets see, two of you can share my room, one of you can bunk with Dawn, Giles you can take the couch and I’ll take the other sofa in the other room,” Buffy said as she showed the girls where they could get sleep wear and sheets.

        “Hey, what about me, I thought I couldn’t leave?” Brian said with a small laugh.

        “You can leave, I’m sure that you won’t go too far,” Buffy said turning to him.

        “Nope, I made a promise to Grace to protect her daughter so I’m not leaving.” Brian said, he knew that Grace could really make him pay for letting Tara get hurt.

        “Fine you can take the floor, but for now how bout you help me with a quick patrol,” the slayer said as she headed for the door, the others all headed up for there respective rooms.

        “K, I could use a good kill,” the demon said as he walked out the door.
