Long wet hair clung to her face. Lighting striking above,soft light showing up her pale cheeks. Gray deep eyes filled with such sadness. Mud of the graveyard splatterd sides of her pure white shoes.

She could lie, pertend that life was better with her sister back,but it wasn't. She felt more alone now even if Buffy was back, she wasn't the same anymore. She seemed darkemore distant. Riley came back and him and Buffy got together again. Dawn walk into Spikes crypt. Throught all of this, Buffys death and her ressirtion he stayed with her. The scoobies went back to treating her like a child. While the rest of the scoobies ignore her.

Spike jumped in surprise "Bloody 'ell pet,I thought you were the bleeding slayer."

Dawn smiled. It was always fun to mess with Spikes head like that. "Sorry Spike, I just needed to get out of the house Buffys and Riley are totally into the smoochies."

Dawn knew that she shouldn't mention Riley around him, he always tensens up. She was the only one who knew that Spike still loved Buffy. After school dawn would usally come down to spikes crypt and they would talk about everything. They would sit and watch Passions or talk about school,though he didn't really care. He got up from his perivos position, grabbing a bag of blood from the fridge.

"So how is captin whats his name?"

"Good, I think Riley might stay this time" she paused " I don't think Buffy would be able to handle it if he didn't."

Dawn watch as he swichted into his game face and drank the bag. Dawn was the only one he didn't mind watching him feed. She was the only one would didn't cringe in discust or fear when they saw him eat.'Breathe' Passions theme song started to play and Spike ran to he coouch. Dawn follwing behind him.

"Its a new one!" Spike said happily as dripes of blood dribbled on the conner his lips. Dawn sat next to him,not really caring about the soap opera. She closed her eyes and breathed in the sent of Spike. Tabco and achohol.

The scoobies,surrounded her,yelling screaming saying that it would be better without her around. That she'll just get Buffy killed again and she didn't belong with them. Buffy steped out of the shadows, next to Spike.

"B-Buffy" Dawn whimpered "tell them you have to tell them, I love you to much."

Buffy walk over and hugged her younger sister. She gently whispered in her ear "I'm sorry dawnie but they're right,you should have died up there not me, because of you I'm not the same anymore.I ts all your fault"

"Shes right Dawn" Spike spoke up.

Gut renching sobs came from her small figure.The last glimer of hope died in her. They all hate her. "You've got to belive me...please"

-----

It was the cold wet streaks that ran down her cheeks that awoke her from Dawn from nightmare. She breathed heavily. Even after Buffy was brought back dawn still felt the guilt. The guilt that Buffy she will never same. That thought made Dawn cry more. Sound of foot steps coming towards her made Dawn look up. Spike knelt down besides her.

"Bit,what happened whats the matter?"Spikes eyes where filled with concern.

"I-I...nothing it was just a dream" Her voice still shaky.

"Didn't seem like a bloody dream, the way you were tiwsting about"he said as-a-matter-of facly.

She gave up and let out a tried sigh "I-I-I had a nightmare that...they all hated me Spike, you hated me" She looked down at the ground "they said that I should just dissaper or I'll just get Buffy killed again."

Spike cupped he face in his hands "Listen nibblet, I will never hate you ever" He look down at her soft lips fighting the urge to make them his "I will always be by your side never forget that."

The conners of her lips turned slightly upward as she hugged him."I should probably get home, or Buffy will get mad." Spike and Dawn got up. She opened the door and nocticed the rain was still falling outside. Dawn was surprised as she felt a Spikes warm breath on her neck as he gentley placed his leather jacket on her shoulers.

" Here you 'go bit I'll walk you home." He whispered in her ear.

The house was dark and emtey when she came back home. She set her purse on the kicten conouter next to a note Buffy left her.

Dawn,

I went out to patroll for a while theres some spaggete from last night in the fridge.

Willow's at the magic shop with Tara. Someone should be home around 11.

Love Buffy.

A knock on the door stoped her. She ran to the door "Hello" she yelled. "Is anyone out there." Through the peep hole she could see a musllar figure. It took Dawn awhile until she relized who it was.

"Angel" She opened thew door "Oh my god, when did you get back from L.A.?" she asks.

"Just an hour ago" he replied, as he just stood there.

She started at him. Something was different. Angel would never come without even a call."Why did you come?"

" Dawine don't you trust good old Angel, I just came to see how you all are."

"Yea of course I trust you b-" he stoped her.

"Then let me in already."

Dawn debated on this."Do want to come in?"

Angel walk inside as he chuckled. "You're more like Buffy everyday."

"What-" He grabbed her from behind. One hand was placed at her throat, while the other was moving up and down her body.

"Whats the matter Dawine don't you like this?" he put his hand under her shirt. Roaming over the creamy white flesh.

"Spike, Buffy!"she yelled

He let his fangs graze her neck. Tears ran down her cheeks. Angel was in game face. She scearmed.
