SUMMARY: Dawn and Spike are the only two left of the Sunnydale Gang. Chapter 2 SPIKE Spike stands under the hot water leaning against the wall his mind running over the past weeks events beginning with Dawn coming to his crypt. ' "Spike Tara got hurt because of me." she sniffles leaning on her forearms. "I'm too dangerous" "You aren't dangerous luv" "Yes I am. Glory thought Tara was me. Everyone's going to be in danger because of me" Spike sits beside her putting his arm around her shoulders "Don't think that way luv. We're in danger anyway." ' Spike sighs needlessly his mind fast forwarding to when Drusilla showed up with Glory and Darla. ' "Dru what are you doing here?" he demands "I came to see my Spikey" Drusilla replies taking a step towards Dawn when her childe growls warningly Drusilla whines "My Spike is protecting the Key. Why is my Spike protecting it?" "Hands off Dru" Spike growls "Will people stop calling me it" Dawn yells stomping her foot "Your just energy" Glory says Dawn glares at her hands on hips "Hey I resent that. Why are you called Glory your nothing but an overbearing loud mouthed obsessive bitch who just happens to be a God." "Such a mouth on the girl" Glory grins "Now lets go" she orders "its time for me to go home" "I'm not going anywhere with you" Dawn retorts "I said lets GO" Glory stomps her foot angrily causing the floor to crack "Dawn isn't going with you" Buffy says "Don't make me kill you" Glory says "Oh come on you said I get to kill her" Darla whines "You vampires are so whiney" Glory says "Hey I'm the one who had to live with her for over a hundred fifty years." Angel says "Dru's not that much better" Spike adds glaring at his sire "Spike you really have badluck with women don't you" Buffy shakes her head in disbelief. "First Dru then Harmony then Dru then Harmony" "I know I'm a bloody wacko magnet" Spike grumbles "I could have told you that" Angel mutters "Just give me my Key." Glory yells One of the minions hesitantly speaks up "Oh beautiful Glorificus why don't you just kill these snivling humans" "Hey who are you calling sniveling you crusty skinned in such need of a facial." Buffy snaps "Hey Slayer don't insult my little crusty cuties" Glory pats the minions head affectionately "Oh thank you dear Glorificus" the minion says bashfully "I'm the only one who can" "OK she really is insane" Xander states then frowns "You do realize that three of the most unstable women on the planet are here" he mutters "Darla's not insane just a bitch" Angel replies' Spike chuckles remembering his grandsire's words about Darla. "Darla always was a bitch" he mutters to himself. He turns off the shower stepping out he grabs a towel quickly drying off he pulls on his jeans opening the bathroom door. "Nibblet have you finished eatin' ?" he asks "Yeah" she mumbles Spike looks over to find Dawn curled up on the couch "Hey what's with the tears luv?" he asks crouching before her. "I miss Buffy and Willow and Tara and Xander and Giles. I even miss Anya. They died because of me." "No they didn't pet. They died because they fought for what they believed in." he reaches over smoothing her hair out of her face. Dawn looks at Spike "You miss Angel and Dru" she states Spike winces at the mention of his grandsire and sire. "In a way." "They were your family" Spike nods "In a weird way yeah they were." "What's going to happen to me?" Dawn asks Spike smiles slightly "I made a promise to the Slayer and Angelus that I'd take care of you." "Why did you promise that? Why didn't you just dump me off at my Dad's?" Dawn asks curiously Spike shrugs "I made a promise... a bloke doesn't go back on a promise. Besides your safer with me than your father." he grins "Besides I kinda like having you around" Dawn smiles back "Where are we going to go?" "I'm not really sure. Anywhere." he shrugs "OK" she nods Spike stands going into the bedroom he grabs a clean shirt, socks, and his boots. Pulling on his shirt he returns to the livingroom area sitting down. "I have to go out for a bit luv." Dawn looks at him wide-eyed. "Don't worry I'll only be gone for a little while." he promises pulling on his socks. "Where are you going?" Dawn questions slightly panicked Spike looks up giving her a small reassuring smile "I have to go find someone who can make some papers for you." "Oh" He stands grabbing his duster he pulls it on "I'll be back in a couple hours I promise" Dawn nods "Don't open the door for anyone." "I won't." she assures watching as Spike walks out of the hotel room she sits up grabbing the remote she turns on the television. 2 HOURS LATER Spike returns to the hotel room to find Dawn asleep on the couch. He quietly closes the door and tosses his duster over a chair. "Dawnie" he says softly to wake up the teen Dawn slowly opens her eyes "Spike" she yawns "Come on luv lets get you settled in bed." he pulls her to her feet leading her into the bedroom with double beds. He pulls back the covers when she crawls into bed he covers her with the blankets "Thanks" she yawns "Get some sleep. We leave tomorrow night" Dawn nods "Night" she mumbles burrowing into the pillow she drifts off to sleep. After a moment of watching Dawn sleep Spike stands heading out to the livingroom he turns on the TV. JUST BEFORE SUNRISE Dawn sees Spike already sprawled out on the other bed fast asleep. She glances at the clock '5 AM' she realizes she stands going over to the other bed she gently shakes Spike "Spike? Spike" Spike growls opening his eyes "What?" "Can I sleep with you?" she asks tentatively Spike nods moving over he makes room for Dawn "Thanks" she crawls in beside him Spike grunts in response drifting back to sleep. |
