Giles looked up from his book at the sound of the door bell.
"Spike, Dawn, what are you doing here?" he asked the pair as they made there way to the table in the middle of the shop.
"Demon attacked us, or well her" Spike pointed to Dawn, "came here so you could tell us what it was."
"What did it look like?" Anya asked from behind the counter.
"Well I didn't really get a look at it, it was under her bed, only saw its arm. Pulled it off actually."
"Well then what did the arm look like?" Giles asked.
"Black skin, long nails, sort of lumpy, and long" he explained.
"Yes well we'll see what we can do," Giles took off his glasses to clean them, "but in the mean time I think Dawn should stay here, so whatever it was cant attack again"
"Right, nibblet come sit over here" Spike instructed, pointing to a chair. Dawn looked at him but didn't budge. "Dawn come here" he told her again, this time more sternly. She complied. He picked her up and sat her on the chair, where she continued to sit in silence.
"You got any blood watcher?"
"In the back" Giles stated a little distracted by his book.
Spike left the room.
"What are we supposed to do with her?" Anya asked Giles.
"I'm not sure really" Giles replied.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?" Anya asked Dawn, over-pronouncing each syllable.
"Anya she's 4, not deaf"
"Right," Anya noted, "What" she started slowly, making a gesture with her hands, "do you" she pointed to Dawn, "want to do" she finished.
Giles sighed and rolled his eyes.
Spike emerged from the back room with a mug half full of blood.
"I think it's broken" Anya said waving her hand in front of Dawn's face, which was stiller than ever.
Giles looked at her, "Anya would you leave her alone" Anya scowled, "she's been through quite a bit, she doesn't need you pestering her."
Anya huffed a sigh and walked back behind the counter.
Sorry guys, really short chapter. The next one will be longer I promise; I just didn't have that much time to finish this one. Well keep on reviewing 'hint hint' and I'll be sure to get the next chapter up soon.
