Dreaming of you...

He didn't know where he was, running from something he
couldn't see. He looked back at the empty street and
felt the terror rush through his veins. He couldn't
place the feeling that engulfed any sense of security.
So he ran. In blind panic followed by whatever was
causing his pain.

He looked forward and saw the road stretch out forever
in front of him. He willed his feet on, trying to
escape, hoping this would end. A tiny form lay in the
street in front of him. He saw the brown hair flying
in the wind and knew in a moment it was her.

"Dawn!"

He fell to his knees, his old fear throw to the side
in favor of the new deeper fear. Pulling her over on
her back he looked down at her. She was covered in
blood but he ignored the terror running inside him.
Whispering her name as loudly as he dared he shook her
shoulders.

"Dawn? Dawn? You have to get up!"

She slowly opened her eyes and reached up to grab his
hand. Her hair fell away from her face and on her neck
was the new incision of vampires fangs. Reaching out
his hand Spike touched the wound softly. Dawn hissed
in pain and Spike jumped back as two long fangs grew
from the safety of her lips.

He fell back, his hand hitting something soft. Spike
looked up, into the chocolate colored eyes of
Drusilla. She stood with one hand on Angelus' arm. A
tiny streak of blood sat at the corner of her mouth
but she wiped it away as she smiled.

"Spikey... I made you a playmate."

Spike got to his knees, looking back at the newly
risen vampire still stretched out on the pavement.
Vampire Dawn arched her back and ran her fingers
through her hair. Rising to her feet she walked over
and grabbed a fistful of Spike's hair.

Pulling his head back she bent down and set her lips
to his. The ferocity in her kiss startled him. He
could feel his lips start to bruise as she pressed
harder into him. Releasing him, she rose, staring
Drusilla right in the eyes.

"Well Spikey? Do you like her?"
"What have you done to her?"

Angelus pushed in front of Dru, Darla hanging on his
arm. The blood dripped from his mouth and it smelled
of Dawn. Spike rose, feeling Dawn's cold hands running
up and down his back. This had been a family affair.

"Spike my boy, Have you learned nothing? Family gifts
are never refused."
"Look where family gifts got you Angelus!"
"Spike, my dear grand-childe, anyone can make a
mistake.
"This was a mistake?"
Dru and Darla looked the girl over carefully.

"Well Dru she is a little bit skinny."
"Of course Grandmum, Spike always liked them skinny."
Dru shook her hips slowly and Darla smiled, "If
wouldn't be too much of a sacrifice."

Spike reached back and grabbed Dawn's arm, "What
wouldn't be?"
Angelus and Darla shared a knowing look, "This, little
Spike."
Angelus leapt forward and grabbed Spike. Darla grabbed
Dawn and pulled her away from Spike. Angelus kicked
Spike's legs out from underneath him, pinning his
knees to the ground. Lifting Spike's head so he could
see Dawn, Angelus whispered in his ear.

"You have a lesson in gratitude to learn son of my
childe."
Spike looked up at Dawn. She was screaming in rage,
fighting Darla's hold on her neck. Her game face fully
in the fore, Spike didn't even recognize her young
face. Drusilla signaled to Angelus and he brought
Spike to his feet. Dru ripped open his shirt and ran a
sharp blade across his chest.

"Isn't this what you wanted Spike? To have her
forever? To love her? To make her strong."

Dru stepped back and watched him shiver in pain. She
put her fingertips to her forehead and dipped her head
from side to side.

"That's what the stars told me. You want her. You love
her. More then I, more than the Slayer."

She looked over at Dawn and smiled.

"No loss Spikey, I can take her now."

Dru raised a stake and smashed the tip into Dawn's
heart. The girl slipped into dust and fell from
Darla's fingers. Spike heard his own scream as Angelus
threw him to the ground and the trio disappeared into
the night.

Spike sat up, body bathed in sweat. Dawn sat beside
him, eyes wide with worry.

"Spike? Are you okay?"

He leaned forward and hugged her. She was warm and her
heartbeat was strong under her chest. He kissed her
forehead and held her hands. She looked at him in
shock as he hugged her again, pulling her as close as
he could.

"Dawn... Dawn... Your all right... Your all right...
Oh god Dawn!"
"Of course Spike, you were just dreaming."
He suddenly felt weak and fell back on the pillow. "It
was just a dream?"
"Yes, it's okay... I'm here... I'm fine."
She jumped up as the phone rang in the other room.
Spike watched her go as Dru's words rang inside his
head again.

"That's what the stars told me. You want her. You love
her. More then I, more than the Slayer."

The End...
