SUMMARY: Dawn and Spike are the only two left of the Sunnydale Gang. Chapter 6 HOUR LATER "I'm going outside for some fresh air" Dawn says "Sure" Grace nods her attention on a group of guys standing nearby Dawn stands heading heading outside. She sits down on a bench outside the shop taking a deep breath. "Fresh air" she says happily closing her eyes. She starts in surprise when she hears footsteps behind her. She looks up to see the three guys from the club standing there. "Hey you were at the club the other night" the short stocky guy says "Uh yeah" Dawn stands "I better head back in" trying to get around the three men only to be blocked by a large guy with a shaved head. "Why don't you come with us to the club" the tall skinny guy suggests "Sorry but I've already got a boyfriend." she feels shivers travel up and down her spine 'Spike where are you?' she tries to move around them when she's grabbed from behind Spike rounds the corner to find a couple men standing infront of the shop. He frowns smelling fear... Dawn's fear. He runs towards them Dawn sees Spike running towards them "Spike" she calls terror filling her voice. "Help" Seeing the terror in her eyes Spike vamps then the pain explodes in his head he stops in his track clutching his pounding skull "DAWN" he roars trying to fight his way through the pain to get to Dawn. Dawn struggles to get out of the tight grasp of the man holding her "Spike" she cries tears falling as she watches Spike struggle to control the pain searing his skull. Spike watches through the haze of pain as Dawn is shoved in a car. He watches as the car pulls away from the curb "DAWN" he roars digging his nails into his palm his demon screaming in pain and terror. Dawn struggles against the man holding her down "Let me go" she demands "I have to go help Spike" she's struck across the face her head hitting the window with a 'crack' "Shut up" Dawn holds her cheek glaring at the man 'Spike.' Spike stands on the sidewalk watching as the car pulls away. After a few moments the pain subsides and he takes off in the direction the car had taken. 'Dawn. Find Dawn. Can't let anything happen to my Dawn.' 10 MINS LATER Dawn finds herself shoved in a small room in an abandoned warehouse. "Let me out" she pounds on the door. "Shut up" a man yells throwing the door open. "What do you want with me?" she demands glaring at short stocky man. She watches as the other two men enter behind the first man. When the men advance she feels her stomach clench. 'No' the first man grabs her "NO let me go" she struggles to get away when the man shoves her on the bed holding her down. Feeling the hands rip at her clothes she shuts herself off 'Spike... oh god.' 60 MINS LATER Spike stops in his tracks as he notices the car that the men had shoved Dawn into parked infront of an abandoned warehouse. He stands there his demon flickering in anger after a moment he hurries towards the building. Silently he enters the warehouse noticing the smell of blood 'Dawn' he growls low. A door opens and out the men walk each reeking of sex. "Lets get out of here. Find some fun. She won't be any fun for a while" the short stocky man smirks closing the door behind them he locks it. Spike surpresses a growl as he watches the men walk out of the warehouse laughing. After hearing the car pull away Spike steps out of the shadows hurrying towards the closed door he breaks the door open. He enters to find Dawn unconscious on a bed naked. "Oh Dawnie" he sighs going over to the bed he sits on the edge of the bed he smoothes her hair off her forehead wincing at the sight of a bruise forming on her forehead and her tearstained face. "Dawn I'm sorry" "Spike" Dawn moans her eyes fluttering open "Hey little bit" he says softly "Spike?" "Yeah its me" Dawn sits up throwing her arms around his neck "Spike" she sobs into his neck "Shh I'm here" Spike soothes blinking back his own tears as he strokes her brown hair "Spike's got ya little bit" he presses his lips to her hair then pulls back looking at her "We need to get out of here luv." Dawn sniffles nodding when Spike releases her she whimpers "Not going anywhere luv" Spike promises. He sees her clothing in a pile on the floor ripped. He removes his duster and dress shirt. "C'mon Dawnie" he helps her into his dress shirt buttoning it up then helps her into his duster. He tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear "You'll be OK Dawn" Dawn wraps her arms around herself. Spike lifts her "Lets go home baby girl" Dawn snuggles against him tears falling as she silently cries. 'Safe with Spike.' The two remain quiet as they walk out of the warehouse making their way to their home as fast as Spike can while carrying her. Spike sets Dawn down reaching inside his duster pocket careful not to touch her without her knowing he removes is keys unlocking the door he ushers Dawn inside. "We should go to the hospital get you checked out." Dawn looks at him "No" she shakes her head "they'll ask too many questions" she says panicked Spike sighs needlessly seeing the terror in her eyes "Alright." 'They smelled clean.' "Why don't you go take a shower luv." Spike suggests "I'll bring your pajamas in in a moment." "OK" Dawn silently trudges into the bathroom Spike sits on the couch leaning on his forearms he holds his head. 'They hurt my Dawn.' he growls Dawn closes the bathroom door removing the duster she goes over to the shower turning it on. Spike lights a cigarette taking a drag listening as the shower runs. 'They hurt my girl... my mate' he starts realizing his thought 'my mate... she is my mate.' he smiles 'They'll pay for hurting my mate.' he frowns hearing the sound of sobs coming from the bathroom. 'Dawn' he realizes stamping out his cigarette he stands going to the bathroom door he knocks "Dawn" he calls not getting an answer he enters the bathroom to find Dawn sitting on the shower floor crying. He kicks off his boots and pulls off his socks entering the shower he sinks to the shower floor pulling Dawn into his arms. "Shh luv." he slowly rocks her as she sobs against his chest HALF HOUR LATER Spike looks at Dawn curled up in their bed staring at the wall. "Dawn do you want something to eat luv?" Spike asks sitting on the edge of the bed "No" Dawn mumbles "Water? Juice?" Dawn shakes her head Spike nods "Get some rest luv. I'll be in the livingroom if you need me" after a moment he walks out of the bedroom. "Everything will be OK Dawnie I promise" he sits on the couch "no one will hurt you... ever" LATER Spike looks towards the bedroom door hearing Dawn cry out in her sleep. 'Dreaming.' he realizes hurrying into the bedroom he sits on the edge of the bed stroking her hair soothingly. "Its OK Dawn." he says softly. When she starts to thrash violently he gently shakes her "DAWN" he says "luv wake up. Its OK" Hearing the familiar voice Dawn opens her eyes sitting up with a start "Spike" she whimpers throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm here luv" Spike assures stroking her back soothingly "Spike's here. No one will hurt you" "They did" Spike swallows a growl "I know luv." "What if they try to..." she trails off her eyes pained "They won't ever hurt you." he promises his eyes cold and loving at the same time "I won't let anyone hurt you Dawn... ever again." he kisses her forehead "Now rest Nibblet." "Will you stay Spike?" she asks laying down she tugs on his hand. "I don't want to sleep without you. I don't want to dream." Spike nods laying down behind her he spoons his body around hers. "Sleep Dawn." Dawn brings his hand up to her lips "Spike..." "Hmm?" Dawn tilts her head to look up at him "I love you" she says softly Spike smiles bringing her hand to his lips "I love you" he echoes Dawn gives him a small sad smile "Now sleep Nibblet." "You won't leave me?" she asks worriedly "Never Dawnie. I will never leave you." he promises "I will never let anyone hurt you ever again" Relieved Dawn snuggles close to the vampire closing her eyes. 'Safe' she thinks drifting back to sleep Spike looks at the sleeping young woman his mind wandering over the nights events as he holds her. 'Those pricks are never goin' ta hurt you again.' he swears to himself |
