Disclaimer: Joss owns the characters. I'm just borrowing them.

The first scene is at the tower when Glory attacked.

Feedback: Tell me if I'm doing it right. I don't really care what you write as long as you write something.

Dawn was scared, very scared. Her sister was too far away, battling the minions. Dawn was bound and covered in her own blood. Spike just got through the line. Her teeth were chattering. She'd lost so much blood; her body temperature was dropping alarmingly fast. Dawn felt strong arms wrap around her and gentle hands cut her free of the bonds.

"It'll be alright, Niblet. Old Spike's here to make it all better."

Spike felt like he was dieing, there was far too much blood. He knew his Niblet wouldn't make it. It was times like these he hated being a vampire. He wished there wasn't a portal, the situation was too similar to when he'd lost his family. Dawn's voice broke him out of his trance.

"Spike, I'm cold. Hold me, please." She was begging him. He teeth were chattering and they both knew his body wouldn't give any warmth. Still he held her for as long as he could.

"I have to jump." Dawn turned to face him.

"No, bit. Can't lose you too." He held her tight. Spike couldn't lose her. He loved her with his entire being. If he lost her, he was damn sure he'd fall into the dark.

"I have to. It's the only way."

"No." He would not let her go.

"Please, William. I couldn't stand to have the world end and you be in hell while I'm off floating in nothingness. This way I might get back. Buffy's died twice. I could come back like she did." She had a point there, but what really convinced him was that she'd said his name. Not like she was berating him either, but lovingly. That's what got him to stand up with her in his arms. He was carrying her bridal style.

"Well, if you're going you're not going alone." Spike started walking to the edge of the tower.

"What are you talking about?" Dawn looked up at him confused.

"You won't be alone if I have anything to do about it. If you end up floating in nothingness, I'll be with you."

He meant it. They both looked back at Buffy who was just now coming up to the top of the tower where they were. Buffy looked at them and she knew that Spike and Dawn were going to jump. They were going to save the world together. Buffy almost resented her sister for that. Almost. Dawn didn't have to kill her soul mate in order to save the world. She didn't have to go through that hell. Oh, yes Buffy knew that Dawn was in love with Spike. She knew that the feeling was mutual. Even if they didn't know, she did. As they jumped Buffy saw Spike kiss Dawn and she saw how that made falling into hell seem like she was being lifted into heaven for Dawn. As they were falling Buffy saw that Dawn disappeared and Spike panicked and his fingers closed in the space where Dawn was. He fell to the ground with tears on his face. If Angel hadn't felt his pain through the Sire Childe link and ordered him to go to his crypt; Spike would have gladly welcomed the sun.
