Spike watched silently from the shadows as a certain Slayer fought her way through a nest of vampires. As he watched he noticed her speed, strength and power had increased. Or maybe she was just thinking about Spike as she hit them.
When she had fished and succeeded fighting the vamps Spike stepped back on a twig, which caught, Buffys attention and she quickly span her head round and looked towards where Spike had been standing. She looked around her surroundings and saw nobody in sight so she shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the cemetery.
"Buffy is that you?" Dawn called out as she heard the front door slam shut.
"Yeah it's me!" Buffy called out and walked into the living room where Dawn was sat stuffing her face with popcorn.
"Did you have dinner? Or is the popcorn your dinner?" Buffy crossed her arms and gave Dawn a mother look, as to say I'm not impressed with you.
"Umm…" Dawn said sheepishly. "Well…" She tried to make up an excuse. "We don't have anything I like…"
Buffy unfolded her arms and walked into the kitchen, she pulled open the fridge door and poked her head in. After a few seconds she pulled her head out of the fridge and walked back into the living her heels clicking against the floor.
"Your right, we do need to go shopping. Willow and you can go tomorrow night." Buffy told Dawn.
"Why can't you go?" Dawn asked annoyed.
"Because I have to patrol." Buffy looked at her watch. "Time for bed anyway."
"What its only midnight!" Dawn moaned.
"And it's a school night."
Dawn sighed and quickly scurried off up the stairs.
Buffy walked past the front door and could sense something not right. She slowly pulled opened the door and peeked outside. She looked out into the dark night and couldn't see anybody or anything. So she closed the door. Spike stepped out from the shadows and looked at the house, he could smell Buffys sent all over the front yard, he walked away from the house only looking back over his shoulder to see Buffy looking out from a window at him.
