Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot and any own characters I may add, and joss Wedon is a genius
I have altered some things like spike/buffy has already happened and buffy is already working at double meat palace, and buffy has died before glory has got to dawn.
'Its just blood'
Chapter one
Buffy, Xander, Willow and Anya have all been busy with work, weddings and love problems that they didn't even notice Dawns cry for attention, love and just some 'alive' company not only was she facing abandonment but she needed someone to talk to about her first crush, on someone she really should stay away from being evil and all, but she was finding herself forever being babysat by him, and the one person she needed most wasn't there to help her.
"Buffy I really need to talk to you, ah about something really impor.." Buffy cut her off with a kiss on the head " Sorry Dawnie it will have to wait I have to go fight evil, smelly work grills, I'll see you tonight, Willow could help you", Buffy grabbed her cow hat and disappeared out the kitchen door.
Dawn aimlessly wandered the house bored, lonely and a little bit angry with everyone,"hey Willow can I ask you something?" Willow was sitting at the dining room table, "ah Dawnie im a bit busy its so much harder doing research without magic, so can it wait a while", disappointment swept across Dawns face but Willow didn't notice "yeah I guess", she left the room mumbling to her self "cause research is more important than talking to little Dawn", Willow looked up from the laptop
"Sorry what was that" she said but Dawn had already left.
"Nobody's ever here" Dawn said to her self as she lay on her bed looking at the posters on her wall, "they don't even realise im not a little kid anymore",
She grabbed her pillow and put her face into and screamed at the top of her lungs. 'Knock, Knock' her bedroom door went "what", Dawn called from her bed "just telling you im going patrolling, but Spikes here so you'll be fine" Buffy called from the other side of the door, "yeah sure cause Dawns to little to be left alone" Dawn replied but Buffy had already gone, "gee thanks Buffy so nice of you to tell me" Dawn sarcastically said as she threw open her door to nobody standing there.
"Hey little bit what are you doing up there?" Spike called up the stairs, Dawn Screamed, a startled Spike ran up the stairs to her room and swang open the door, "im not little, not anymore im 15 alright 15" Dawn yelled in frustration,
"Hey Dawn im sorry I won't call you that but you really shouldn't scream like that you scared me", Dawn looked at Spike and smiled, "really I scared you?" Dawn seemed happy that she had scared him and this confused him he looked at Dawn with his head tilted to the side a little confused, "Yeah, you seemed pleased" Dawn looked at Spike and sat on her bed and laughed, "ok Dawn I think you maybe possessed or something cause now you are really scaring me" he leaned against the door frame putting his hands on his hips, "no Spike its just that its really funny im not allowed to leave the house cause I could get attacked by big bad vamps and stuff yet Buff and that leave me alone in the house with a vampire who has a chip in his head but we don't know if it still works cause you could be faking the pain you are evil and all" she let out another laugh her hand clamped down onto her mouth, Spike smiled at Dawn and shook his head,"That's true I am evil", Spike said
"Yes Spike you are a real bad ass" Spike nodded, "Yes real bad and evil, run by my own rules" both Spike and Dawn began to laugh.
Dawn left her room and went down to the lounge, "im going to watch TV" she said to Spike as she walked past him.
Spike stayed sitting on Dawns bed for a little while.
Meanwhile...
"Buffy behind you", Willow warned Buffy as a vampire leapt from a grave stone behind her, Buffy side kicked the vamp in the stomach and sent him flying over to Xander who staked him, "yeah go me" Xander said just before a vampire jumped on to his back, "its ok hunny I'll get it" Anya said as she staked the vampire, after all the butt kicking was done Buffy, Willow, Xander and Anya were walking back to Buffys house, "well at least it wasn't bunnies", Anya said, the other three just looked at Anya, "What, all im saying is you can't trust bunnies they're conspiring against us, just look at their little twitchy nose's they have to be evil", Xander put his arm around Anya's waist and pulled her in, "This is why im marrying you, your so funny"
"So Spike you can leave if im boring you" Dawn said to Spike As he pulled up a chair and sat in it, "no your not boring me, do you want me to leave cause I will if you want" Spike said standing back up, "NO, I mean please don't your the only person who's actually having a conversation with me, no one has time anymore, Buffy's always working late and Willows to busy trying so hard not to use magic and Xander he's getting married so yeah no time for Dawn", Spike looked down at his hands feeling a little guilty about his little sexapadse Buffy and him were having he didn't think that it was stoping Dawn from having any time with her sister,"Hey Nibblet im sure they don't mean to Everything's just complicated with Buffy Coming back from the dead" Dawn put her hands down on her lap, "I know it sounds like im being self centred but I can help it, did you know this is the longest anyone has even been in the same room as me" Dawn put her head down and started to cry, Spike leaped up and went and sat next to her, "Hey pet its ok, it will be normal again soon, and im always here for you don't forget that", he put his arm around her pulling her into his chest for a hug, Just then the door swang open and Buffy walked in and saw Spike and Dawn on the couch hugging, "What the hell are you doing to Dawn, get of her Spike" Buffy threw Spike across the room, "Gees Buffy she was crying I was giving her a hug making her feel better", Buffy look at Dawn who still had puffy eyes and then she glanced back at Spike, "get out now Spike", Spike grabbed his duster, "bye pet", he said as he pushed past Xander standing at the door, Dawn stood up and stormed up the stairs and slammed her door, " Hey Buffy I don't think anything was happening", Willow said as she put her coat on the hook.
Dawn sat on her bed crying She threw her pillow across the room knocking her jewellery box off the dresser, "I hate it here", She said to herself, Dawn picked up her bag from behind the door and put her Jewellery box in it and reached into her dresser and grabbed out some clothes, "I hate it here, they don't care" Dawn said as she climbed out her bedroom window, the same window Buffy used to escape many times.
Buffy sat down stairs in the dinning room, "hey Will' I think I was too hard on Spike, Dawn did seem upset, ah im going to see if she's ok" Willow looked up from her laptop and said,"Buff' I think she just needs a bit of space".
