(Last Chapter.)
While she waited she looked at all the demons looking at her. She knew they were thinking about attacking her.
She smirked at them before opening her hand and a large green powerful fame came to surface. She almost laughed at the looks of horror on their faces as they went back to their drinks. She put the flame out and she faintly heard a Fryle Demon whisper "The Key."
"I know you're trying to get over magic but Will you're the strongest witch out there. If Spike is blocking her with magic you're the only one who can find her." Buffy said smiling to herself that she thought of a good lie quick.
"I don't know Buff. I don't know if I'd be able to stop once I start." Willow admitted in fear.
"I trust you Wills. I'll get you out." Buffy said giving her a comforting smile.
"Yeah she wishes." Buffy thought evilly to herself.
ONWITHTHESTORY!!
Buffy had to focus all her energy into not smirking. As Willow gathered all the ingredients for the locator spell she saw Giles and Xander talking quietly to themselves in the other end of the shop.
She knew they were having a difficult time accepting the fact Willow doing magic again. Everyone knew she had a big problem with it. The way Willow consumed magic so deeply almost like she was on a powerful drug. They both had the same effect and they both could do a lot of damage. Buffy was just going to have to convince the guys she knew what she was doing.
Because she did know what she was doing; it just wasn't something they would very much approve of.
She walked over to them and they immediately stopped their conversation to look at her blankly.
"Guys I know this is hard for you to get but I trust Willow; with everything. She'll find my baby sister." She said giving them a sad look.
She had to find them. Dawn was a part of her she was her "blood sister" and she promised her mom she'd watch little Dawnie.
Her mother was probably rolling in her grave in disgust at the girl the monks made her daughter into. Dawnie was nothing like her mother or herself. Dawnie was stupid, selfish, and self centered.
If she were still dead she wouldn't have to worry about her any longer. She'd find a way to her mommy and they'd be happy forever. Like it used to be.
Before the little key showed up; before her life was ruined.
"We know you're worried about Dawnie; I am too. I wanna kill Spike for kidnapping her but there's too much of this that doesn't make sense." Giles said hesitantly looking at Xander thinking he didn't say the right thing.
There was something about the way Buffy was acting that scared Xander a little. She wasn't herself. Mind him, she was still going through a difficult time coming back from the dead and all but she was acting more off than usual. He wasn't the only one who saw it; Giles did too and if the watcher thought something was wrong; there probably was.
Giles looked at his slayer in worry. This was not the same Buffy he met six years ago. She was different. Colder; she wasn't the same and she looked like she was up to something. He just had to find out what.
"Guys, I know you're worried about Willow; I don't blame you…but I need her. Spike needs to be taken care of. Permanently; he went too far this time. Taking Dawnie was the last straw." She said hardly angry that her lover decided to play dirty. Guess last time wasn't rough enough on him; she'd go harder on him; he needs to be punished.
"That's another thing Buff; you weren't here when you were…gone. I may have hated it; but Spike really helped us with Dawn. She wouldn't talk to anyone; she never ate and she just locked herself in her room not letting anyone see her…but him. He was there for her all summer. He got her to get out of her room, got her to talk to us; and even got her to eat. They got close and I don't see why he would take her. As much as it killed me; he cares about her and Dawnie wanted him around more than she wanted anyone else." Xander softly stated but at the last part he said somewhat bitterly. He hated Spike with a passion; he should have killed him years ago; but he did help little Dawnie. Without him around; who knows what would have happened.
Buffy tried so hard not to look angry but was failing miserably. Not only were these fucking idiots stupid enough to bring her back but they left her fucking useless sister in the hands of Spike!? God what have they done right when she was dead!?
" I don't know what happened over the summer and honestly I don't fucking care; He took her I know it; I feel it. All I care about is bringing Dawnie home and dusting Spike as soon as I get my hands on him." Buffy said harshly; her hand in an angry fist.
"Yes and then what Buffy? We know Spike can't hurt anyone but he has become…and asset to us." Giles said logically. He wasn't Spike's biggest fan. That'd place belonged to Dawn; but he didn't think killing Spike was the best thing either. He had his moments and he did come through in helping him the summer Buffy died.
"Fuck asset! Killing him would be better for all of us. We don't need him." Buffy said darkly.
Willow heard them talking as she gathered what she needed and she looked at Buffy sadly. She regrets hurting her best friend by bringing her back to the place she obviously didn't want to be; but the world needed her. Willow needed her; and so did everyone else. Especially Dawnie.
She felt horrible for putting Dawn through so much heartache in the past year; she honestly didn't mean to but that's why she had to set everything right again.
She had to find Dawnie; for her; to set everything right again. She'll do this for Buffy and Buffy will get her out of the magic before she gets in too deep.
She will; Willow knows it. She believes her best friend will be there for her in her desperate hour of need.
"Guys…I think I'm all set." Willow announced fearfully. Just because she was willing to do it doesn't mean she wasn't scared shitless.
They all looked at her and nodded but then she saw something that almost made her stop everything all together.
The sinister smile that was on Buffy's face.
Before Willow could say anything someone entered the Magic shop. Everyone turned to look who it was and everyone stopped dead on their tracks.
It was Amy; who had a grin on her face the world could see.
"Am I interrupting something?" She asked in a fake innocent tone; her smile never leaving her face.
SPAWNSPAWNSPAWN
Dawn's eyes fluttered closed for a second before she quickly opened them again to focus on the road. She was tired but she wanted to get out of the state at least. Her goal was to New Mexico before she made any stop other than her going to the bathroom. She didn't want to stop for a long period of time.
She knew Buffy was going to try and find her with magic. Magic seems to be the band aide solution for the Scoobies; it sickened her. But thankfully she knew something Buffy was too fucking stupid to figure out.
They couldn't find her by magic; if they could you'd think that Glory would have tried that when she was looking for her. Buffy might argue Glory was looking for the Key not Dawn; but the Key was her; she was the essence of the Key.
But or course Buffy would never accept that; she'd find a way to blame the whole thing on someone else.
She looked over at Spike who hasn't said a word since they stopped at the Corner Store about a half hour ago. He seemed like he was in his own little world.
"Well to bad. I don't care." Dawn thought to herself but she found herself looking back at him.
Tisk tisk Dawnie. Trying to lie to me pet; will get you in trouble one day. You can never lie to me. I know you better than anyone, you care about me; you still love me Dawnie. And you always will. I'm in your blood.
"No!" Dawn exclaimed aloud causing Spike to look at her in confusing. Dawn roughly shook her head to try and get the voice out of her head. His words kept repeating over and over.
"No." She kept muttering in nothing but a whisper but Spike could hear her plain as day.
What the blood hell was going on? Was his bit having a nervous breakdown or something?
"You okay nibblet?" He asked hesitantly
She looked at him fearfully before giving him a shaky smile. She quickly dug through her purse and got out her Marble Reds.
"Nothing these can't fix." She smirked holding up her trusty legal friend. She opened the new box and took out one before putting it between her lips and lighting it; inhaling deeply.
She sighed in bliss as she let out the smoke. The voice was gone.
"For now at least, but I can't survive on only cigs. I'm going to need something stronger sooner or later." She thought to herself.
"Can I have one?" Spike asked staring at the fag between her lips hungrily. He never knew the nibblet smoking could be such a sexy sight to see. She inhaled the bitter smoke deeply letting the smoke go straight to her head.
He'd love to see her drink. That'd be a bloody fucking party!
She looked at him for a second; surprised he didn't ask her how she got the cigarettes. She got another one out of her pack and handed it to him; not giving him a lighter because she knows he has his already.
"Thanks pet." He muttered lighting his fag up and inhaling it for all it's worth. It's not like it effects him but it's strong and it's just a habit he does to get him through the days.
She nodded and continued to stare at the road, in haling her cigarette blowing smoke circles waiting for the traffic to lighten up. She was wondering where she was going to turn off. It didn't really matter where they were going; just as long as it was far away from Sunnydale California.
"Where do you think we should go?" She asked him surprised with herself. She wasn't expecting herself to actually ask him for his point of view; but he did have more experience in the hiding out thing than she did.
He thought for a minute. The bit asked him what he thought and he wasn't about to fuck up his chance for getting on her good side. They were on the run together; they could slowly be civil to each other, than maybe leading to some friendship and then who knows; maybe it could lead to something more.
"Well if you wanna stay in the states I'd think New York or Jersey would be a good place. Both small; wit a lot of people; less sunlight than Cali too." He pointed out as he flicked the ashes from his fag out the window.
She thought about what he said. It was true; New York and New Jersey were small places with a lot of people, and less sunlight which would make it easier on her and Spike. New York was so cliché though; everyone went to New York City to get away from their problems; New Jersey though….
Sounded perfect.
"Guess we're heading to Jersey." She said smiling softly looking at Spike tenderly for the first time in six months.
Spike smiled. It was a pretty good start.
"Wanna have another fag wit' me bit?" He asked casually.
She laughed. "Nah I wanna save mine for as long as possible. They need to keep us from biting each other's head off; figuratively and literally." She smirked
Spike chuckled to himself.
"Very true nibblet. So tell me; when'd you start smoking?" He asked curious.
"About five months ago. My friend Janice was a huge smoking junkie and she told me it helped her forget. One day I was curious and tried it; haven't stopped since." She said casually as she put out her own cigarette and concentrated on the road.
He nodded in acknowledgment. He knew what that was like; wanting to forget.
Both Dawn's and Spike's eyes caught each other and they both just stared at each other's bright blue eyes.
In acceptance.
SPAWNSPAWN
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Xander asked Amy angrily. How dare she show up here after she brought Willow to that Magic freak that turned his best friend into something horrible.
Amy just smiled at him and looked over at Buffy. She was looking at her cold but unlike everyone else Amy saw the mischief and evil in her eyes.
How could she not see it? Buffy DID call her a half hour ago and tell her to go to the Magic Shop.
"Sorry I didn't mean to intrude but last time I checked; this was a public place." Amy pointed out as she casually looked around the shelves of magic books; books she's read a million times.
"Yes, you are right; but if you looked outside it says closed on the door." Giles said politely but still in his prissy British way.
She just smiled at him still looking at the books.
"It says you close at seven. It's six fifty; I have ten minutes to shop and get the things I require." She picked up some herbs and mandrake root and held them to her before she looked over to Willow who was still silent.
"Wow Willow are you about to do magic?! Thought you quit cold turkey?" She asked in fake shock.
"I did quit Amy. I'm just helping out a friend; then I'm done for good." Willow said determined to not let the ex rat get to her.
"For good? Honey you don't have it in you to quit forever. Magic is in your blood. Once you have it once it consumes you. You're an addict baby; accept it." Amy said smugly going over to Giles and giving him fifteen dollars before she walked over to Willow.
"Have fun with the spell Willow. I hope you find who you're looking for." She said putting her hand on Willows shoulder.
No one noticing the faint glow coming from her hand.
Amy smiled as she walked out of the store with a big smile on her face.
Buffy watched her go with a little smile of her own.
It's show time.
