Once the Game is Over Part2
Buffy smiled at her and put a hand over her heart in fake happiness, "Really? Wow, you came all this way just for me your big sister" The smile disappeared instantly and she grabbed Dawn to her roughly, "Now why do i not believe that? Oh yeah, because the last time i saw you little sister, you were fleeing in terror. So how about we just cut to the chase?"
Dawn tried to pull away from her and surprsingly Buffy let her go, "I came because i can't live knowing what you are"
Buffy smiled cruely, "And what would that be?"
Dawn felt the lump in her throat as she answered, "The thing that you spent years fighting against, the thing that you hated the most....the thing that killed you"
Buffy shrugged as she took this all in and sat down on one of the old gravestones, "It's not that bad, better than being dead"
"That's not what you told Ford" Dawn stated as she stood in front of Buffy staring at the ground.
Glaring at her Buffy replied, "God, are you like trying to make me kill you cuz your like this much away" Measuring a small amount with her fingers.
"Sorry" Dawn mumbled.
Smiling a little Buffy looked at her and pulled Dawn into her lap, "You know, it's weird but i kinda missed you"
"How? Your a vampire remember? You should hate me" Dawn answered matter of factly.
Nodding at her Buffy replied, "I should but i can't. It'd be a lot simpler if i could but your my little sister. I gave-up my life for yours so i must've loved you when i was alive and part of me still does, probably always will"
Taking comfort in those words Dawn lay her head against her sister's shoulder and smiled wryly, "If anyone saw us it'd look like *i* was the big sister"
Ignoring her Buffy said, "Dawn, i think you should go"
Dawn frowned at her, "Why? You said you missed me"
"I did but you need to go before he comes" Buffy answered as she looked franticly around the cemetry.
Dawn slid off Buffy's lap and looked at her, "Before who comes?"
"That would be me niblet"

"At last, was beginning to think you were never gonna wake-up"
Opening her eyes slowly to a familar voice that she couldn't place Buffy glanced around at her surroundings. It looked like she was in a room of some sorts, one that was familar from somewhere but she was too tired and her head ached to think about it, "What?"
"Never mind luv, your awake now. For a couple moments back i thought i'd drank too much of you"
It suddenly all clicked at once. The fight, her friends all dead, Spike killing her and Dawn, "Where's my sister?"
Spike shrugged, "Probably on the first bus out of this town. When i went to look for her she was gone, pity mind you. Always wanted a daughter"
Sitting up Buffy swung her legs over the bed and went to stand-up, "I need to go, patrol and stuff"
Spike grinned at her, "I don't think you'll be doing that anymore pet"
"And why would that be? As far as i'm aware hell hasn't frozen over" Buffy asked glaring at him.
Taking her hand Spike led her to a bathroom and positioned her in front of the mirror, "Tell me what you see luv"
"Well, duh my-" She broke off suddenly and peered closer at the mirror. She touched her face softly and turned to look at Spike, "I...you...why?"
Spike looked at her with his pirecing blue eyes, "Because that was the deal Buffy, that was the deal"

Spike grinned at Dawn with his usual cocky attitude, "My, my look who's all grown-up. Last time i saw you you were into barbie dolls and the likes"
Glaring at him Dawn shot back, "I never played with dolls at the age of 14, don't be so stupid"
With one quick movement he suddenly grabbed her and pulled her towards him holding her wrists tightly, "If i was you niblet i'd be choosing my words *very* carefully"
This was the way it had been since Spike's chip had deactivated, she'd always hoped that if it happened he'd stay on their side but he hadn't. And her trust had killed everyone, everyone but herself.
