The invisible figure watched in interest as the people entered the library, mentally adding two people together as they walked in. No one saw her, she was invisible to the untrained eye, of course not many saw her, who could see a ghost?
Spike flipped through the culture section, trying to find something that might give him his soul back like Poof. How was he supposed to win back Nibblet's trust? He quickly grabbed a spell book. 'Red has this one' he thought, maybe this could help. Spike flipped through the pages, ignoring the clock, which told they only a few more minutes before the library closed for the long weekend.
Dawn sighed. How would she finish her essay if she can't even find the book she's doing it on? She walked over to the Science section trying to find a book on Chemicals; this was impossible for her.
The ghost known as Emily watched them and smiled in interest. They would do perfectly for her weekend project. Let the fun begin she thought as she possessed both of the librarians and the people to walk out the library, she also locked the doors.
Neither Spike nor Dawn noticed they were locked out until they finally closed their book, and looked around to notice no one was there, except each other. "Oh, bloody hell"...
"Oh bloody hell." Spike remarked when he saw Dawn. Her jaw dropped. 'What was Spike doing in a library?' She thought. Then she looked up at the clock, and thought exactly what Spike had said.
"So, we're stuck in here huh?" She asked, sitting down on a small purple reading couch. Spike was truly, deeply in love with Dawn. Not like he would admit though.
Dawn sat silently looking at Spike's face; it brought back memories of her birthday. Spike had went out and got her a beautiful necklace, with a little sapphire and Nibblet engraved on the back . She knew then she loved him, she smiled at the memory.
Emily watched a smile on her face. 72 hours to get a vampire and a human together, no problem. They just needed a little bit of 'help'...
Emily smirked silently and took over her host's body - which happened to be Dawn's. Emily walked up to Spike silently. He noticed her, but didn't move. However when Emily kissed him, that was a different matter. He pulled away abruptly. "What the bloody hell was that Nibblet!" He exclaimed. "Just a little token of appreciation" Emily smiled. 'That's not Dawn, she wouldn't act this way. So where is she?' Spike wondered while trying to ward off Emily.
"Helllllooo? Anybody here? Spike? Spike! Help me! Buffy! Tara! Willow! Anya! Xander! Angel! Wait... Angel? Dawn asked. There was Angel and Cordelia standing there in the dark. "Hey Dawnie, you too?"
"Cordy had a vision" angel said shrugging as though that explained every thing.
"Oh, Dawnie. Sorry, sweetie, we aren't actually 'here', it's just my new demon-y powers and I got worried and kinda ended up here. Oh, yeah advice. Possessed by a spirit, huh? Right, Angel and I had this problem too, we started kissi-" She was interrupted be a slight noise from Angel. "Anyways, just uh, try to fight it."
Dawn was standing there in utter confusion one minute she's with Spike and the next Angel and Cordy appear. She squinted as their images started to disappear. "Hey! Wait! What about me!ANGEL! CORDY! come oon!" She yelled there was no answer.
"Hi, Spike." Emily said (She's still in Dawn's body.) She moved closer, Spike moved back. She leaned and Spike froze, and backed up again. "What the bloody hell has gotten into you Bit?" He asked his eyes widened like a deer in a headlight look.
"Okay calm down, Dawn. No problem I'm just stuck here in the bloody dark.. Whoa I've been spending to much time with Spike... Oh great! Why me? Where's Spike? Why isn't he rescuing me?" Dawn thought aloud. She closed her eyes and concentrated very hard, trying to figure out what was going on.
Suddenly a little white glow ball appeared, Dawn looked at it and raised an eyebrow. "I'm going crazy.."
Then the ball glowed and produced a picture of where Spike was. "Bloody hell!" She screamed, looking at the image of herself kissing Spike.
"Did you say something?" Spike asked looking at the teenager like she had lost her mind, maybe she has he thought but there was something in her eyes almost terror but not quite there.
"Damn it demon GET OUT OF ME!" Dawn screamed in her head using all her will power to get out and briefly just for a second she did leave.
"Spike you have to help me there's a-" she was quickly through back inside herself as the spirit took control again, except this time Dawn took Cordy's advice and fought the spirit.
"No! this is my mind! I don't want you to violate it!" Dawn pictured herself shoving the spirit out of the way and she did it went out of her and she collapsed on the floor in a heap, she came to about five minutes later and found spike crouched over her.
"Bit, Luv, dawn!" there was urgency in his voice and she could hear it.
"Don't yell" she muttered trying to sit up but she felt totally dizzy and fell again except this time Spike caught her, picked her up and set her down in a chair.
"Now Luv fancy telling me what's goin' on?"
"I-I, a spirit, it, it, and she violated, mind" Dawn spat out trying to get it all out fast so if the spirit tried to reclaim her again spike would understand.
"Easy now Luv, 'S all right the big bad's right hear now tell me what happened"
"There's a-a spirit in here , she I didn't kiss you well I mean I did but she kind of took possession of me and I saw Cordy and Angel and they told me to fight it and I did and-and I kind of mentally fought her and when she left it-it was too much and I" Dawn burst into tears , and spike was instantly hugging her
" hey Nibblet it'll be ok I promise." Spike rocked her gently back and force for a few minutes. "Now let's see if we can find a phone maybe call Giles 'eh? See if he can get us out of here?"
"A-alright" Dawn stammered and began to get up but she swayed and started to stumble but spike pushed her back down into the chair.
"Better let me Nibblet" she nodded and closed her eyes. But when she opened them again she found her self mouth to mouth with spike her eyes widen and she pushed him away.
"What the bloody hell Spike!"
"I'm sorry dawn it's just I love you so much." He leaned in for another kiss
"No you don't that spirit's possessing you isn't it?"
"Damn it! Get away from him!" Dawn yelled as she shook spike by his shoulders, he gently pushed her off
"Now Luv, that's no way to be touching your lover is it?"
"You're not my l-lover" Dawn whispered.
"Yes you are Nibblet" he replied lifting her chin up with his hand.
"You're a bloody ghost!" Dawn screamed and ran to the other side of the library, grabbed a book and pretended to be involved in it.
Emily watched them with interest at this point she no longer inhabited either of them she crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently can we move this along? God I've seen dead people work faster than you two. Emily's words whispered to them both.
Spike used his vampire speed to catch up with her he spinned her around and she snapped the book shut, Dawn looked especially pissed.
"I-I you are you aren't you?" Dawn was looking into his eyes as if she had never seen them before and what she saw scared her ,pure love, blue on blue faced each other off "I-Spike but buffy?" Dawn said dawn gasped as the spirit over took her again her eyes went lime green in color she grasped her chest and fell backwards Spike caught her at the last second before her head crashed to the ground.
"Let go of her!" he growled his game face on.
Just then a band of vampires attacked the library banging on the doors.
"Bloody hell where's a slayer when you need one?" spike asked to no one imparticular.
"Right here" Dawn replied in fight stance a vamp charged at her , "you know I've really had a bad..Day!" Dawn said before round house kickingthe vamp. "I think you'll make a nice punching bag!" she said firmly as she punch the vamp twice in the face and staked him. While Spike stood gaping at her.
She glanced over at him "Gonna stare or gonna help?"it wasn't meant as mean merely in a questioning tone.
"Help" he replied and took out a vamp cleanly.
What's happening! Dawn thought as she took out vamp after vamp and watched spike do the same I mean I can't be a slayer can I? Sure I'm made from buffy but still… but who cares this is totally cool! Dawn couldn't believe it she felt like doing a happy dance she laughed out loud as a vampire was dusted right before her eyes. Spike watched her and smiled another slayer to add to the mix, cool she'll be my girl with or without that bloody ghosts help! spike thought just before he was caught on the jaw with a punch by some random vampire
"Dawn we gotta get outta here bloody hell," he muttered "Now!" Dawn dusted one last vamp and followed Spike out of the library the way the vampires had entered,
They ran the rest of the way to the summers' house they held hands tightly they could hear the vampires running after them what they couldn't hear was Emily who followed them only a few feet behind.
Emily smirked as she watched them run, she's something much better than a slayer hell she'll be better than Buffy I've got it all planned. If she could've Emily would've laughed Spike is going to train her… hmmm I think I've got a plan…
