A/N Okay so I know this is a short chapter and I still have two other stories I should be working on, but Anne started talking to me again and I didn't want to discourage her by ignoring her presence. Trust me if you have read and liked any of the Tomorrow or Anne Stories this will be a great story.

"Are you okay?" Spike was surprised to wake up to Buffy leaning over him with a sincere look of concern. "I've never seen you hurt that badly."

"I'll be alright Pet. I'm just glad you didn't go to the Police."

"She did, but she found out Warren killed the girl."

"Buffy? Wait since when do you have brown eyes?"

"Since I'm not Buffy. I'm Anne, your granddaughter."

"Bloody Hell"

"Look I know I'm a lot to take in, but I need you to help me talk to the Scoobies about granting me protection. Some really nasty guys are after me and it won't take them long to figure out I time-shifted."

"Calm down. Who's after you?"

"Ever heard of the Circle of the Black Thorn? Well the two of us just killed their leader and they are looking for some major payback."

"Why would I let a kid help me mess with a group as bad as the Black Thorn?"

"The Vampire we killed. He killed Mom."
