"Where were you last night?" Dawn questioned Eliza the minute she walked through the door.

Eliza shrugged, "Out, why?"

"We have news," Cally said looking at Dawn for confirmation before continuing, "Dawn found out somethinginteresting about Chase Collins."

"Chase is the dead guy right?" Eliza interrupted as she began pulling out her uniform and getting ready for class.

Dawn looked irritated by her question, "Yes Eliza Chase DIED the night the Coven felt the power surge. A few days ago I found out that our new friends actually knew more than they let on about him, they were friends with the guy."

"Now we don't know for sure that this means anything, if they'd known the first victim that'd have been a smoking gun, but this," Cally shrugged looking worriedly toward Eliza for her reaction.

Eliza just stood there, having discarded her uniform since the chance of her going to class had been zero to none to begin with. She didn't want to believe what her friends had already become convinced of.

"If it as them, and I'm not saying it was, then being connected to the first vic would have been too obvious. I mean even local police could've figured that one out," Eliza huffed starting to mull over everything Reid had ever told her in her head.

"Plus Caleb's too smart for something like that, not to mention possibly too powerful," Dawn added quietly from the corner where she was standing.

"How do we know that this isn't Dawn trying to ruin her one good relationship with the class golden boy because she wants to emulate her sister?"

Dawn glared at her companion obviously annoyed by the statement, "And how do we know you refuse to face the facts because you finally slept with Reid and don't want to think he used you."

"Hey! Calm down both of you! If it is them then it's all of them and each of us has invested ourselves emotionally into this case and these guys but if they did it then we'll do our job," Cally said with such ferocity that her two roommates had to do a double take.

Dawn took a deep breath, still glaring at Eliza then looked apologetically at Cally, "Sorry, as I was trying to say before I don't think we have enough evidence to turn the boys into the wolves just yet."

"Thank you," Eliza said somewhat dramatically plopping herself down on her bed.

Dawn cleared her throat before continuing, "So I called Willow so that we could cut through all this guessing and get straight down to it."

Eliza jumped back to her feet and marched right up to Dawn, "You called that that Witch! She's going to report back to Buffy what you've discovered then we'll all be pulled away from Ipswich!"

Cally placed herself in between the two girls, ready to do her job of protecting The Slayers sister, even if it meant getting into it with Eliza.

"No, she won't I merely told her we found out about a student who died that night and the suspicious nature surrounding it. I asked her to help me out with a spell so I could see if the circumstances revolving around his death had anything to do with whatever's lurking in Ipswich and she was happy to help. Buffy free of course."

"What kind of spell did you need the Queen Witches help with anyway?" Eliza questioned.

"It's a summoning spell for Chase Collins."

"But Chase Collins is dead Dawn," Cally looked at her friend questioningly, refusing to believe that Dawn would summon the dead.

"I thought the rules were strictly against bringing back the dead and if we did wouldn't he been all zombie like?" Eliza asked stating Cally's concern.

"That's why I called Willow, we don't need to bring Chase back to life to question him about his death."

Cally's eyes widened and Eliza smirked both understanding what was about to be done, "Where do we start?"

That Night in the Forest

After Dawn told the two slayers how the spell worked all they had to do was wait until nightfall, when the forest outside Spencer would be uninterrupted by curious students. What the girls didn't realize was that a certain Spencer student had been under orders to follow them that day.

"If this works how long do we have before he's sent back to the great beyond?" Eliza asked as the walked through the underbrush.

"Give or take a few minuets then his spirit will be pulled back, if I do this correctly," Dawn shrugged starting to wring her hands nervously.

Arriving at their destination the three stopped and started to burn the mixture of wild thyme and wood sorrel which would serve as their offering.

Dawn took a deep breath as they formed a circle clasping their hands together she had never done anything like this before without a Scooby present. She began to chant the spell Willow sent her with Eliza and Cally following along.

"Earth, bone,
and winding sheet,

Let this spirit

Come to me."

The three continued like this until they were in perfect unison then Dawn broke it by adding,

"Bring forward Chase Collins,

Bring his spirit forth from the great divide.

Goddess Hecate hear our pleas

Let him answer our cry

Bring Chase Collins into this realm,

This time,

This moment with us please."

A light formed in the middle of their circle and an incorporeal young man appeared within it, a shocked expression appearing on his face.

Not breaking contact with the others Dawn spoke up, "I'm Dawn Summers and I need answers that only you can give."

Chase nodded, "What do you need," he kept the same expression on his face. The First was right, the plan is working better than we expected, he thought taking note of Tyler Simms hiding not too far away in the bushes.

What the girls questioning him didn't realize was they hadn't summoned the ghost of Chase Collins but just brought the spirit of a very alive Chase forth from his place on the other side of Ipswich.
